'Invincible' fumbles the ball

By C. Warner Sills and Ty Schrock · Wednesday, Aug. 30,2006 10:42 p.m.

Their latest release in this genre, "Invincible" is mostly a continuation of that success despite clinging to some of the usual clichés.

The Korean Samulnori Drummers played sitting cross-legged while a Korean toddler danced and clapped with the dynamics of the music, making audience members in the first few rows laugh for much of the song. "They were so talented I didn't want them to stop," said sophomore transfer student Whitney Biber.
