Here is a video of pizotes (I think they're called coaties in English)

Today was Independence Day in Costa Rica. Each school performs in the parade around town. The following video clips are of our students in the band and the baton girls. The older baton girls in white are in high school and the little ones in red are from the elementary (many of them are from my class). The band sounded really good live, but on the video it sounds pretty bad.
