The Full Meda is all about groove and energy. Time is very important as the source for the energy, so be specific in keeping it. Set-up is most conducive to establishing groove when "rhythm" instruments are placed near each other. Additionally, place Vibes 1 and Marimba 1 at the front, as they are playing the melody line back and forth. Make sure they can be heard over the rest of the ensemble.
