Evergreen Community Charter School’s EMBE Marimba Band is not your ordinary middle school band. These 12 to 14 year-olds perform primarily on handmade Zimbabwean style marimbas, as well as on a variety of other percussion instruments. An EMBE performance includes singing and choreography. EMBE, a Swahili word for mango, dishes out sweet and juicy tunes in a variety of styles. EMBE also stands for Evergreen Multicultural Beat Ensemble and its purpose is exploring music from around the world.
