53:08 Playing demonstration. Would be curious to see what committees actually value in a playing demonstration.... what they've been impressed by in the past. It's so hard to demonstrate appropriate musicianship on timpani and drum set, which function much better in an ensemble than as a solo instrument, that the college job search game seems like a marimba and multi-percussion contest sometimes.
