That’s a spectacular performance! I love how confident all the performers are, and the bass and contrabass clarinet killed it! I’m playing this in community band on guiro and slapstick, and this is probably the best recording to practice with, except for the changes towards the end. The maracas were also awesome, haven’t seen many people play with 4 maracas at once before but it really works well in the piece, it’s an amazing maraca part. These guys did awesome!

Im just astonished that this is a high school group. The clarity and precision is that of a collegiate group. I played this in college. i love this piece, and these kids slayyyeeddd

im doing this piece in middle school . 🥰

Wow, it shows the music is alive and well with our young musicians you don’t play this piece without desire and practice,well done

They went from NC to IN Man I wish my high school Wind Ensemble got to do that

I’ve played this several times. Brings me back to my high school days. I can’t believe this is a high school band!

3:54 that bass Trombone though😩

Wow! The only thing better than hearing the piece is seeing it played!

今まで聴いた中でいちばん好きな呪文と踊りだわ。

Lovely work! Susato's dances are addictive. :-)

my band teacher is showing me this during class

日本の皆さーん。「呪文と踊り」出版前のオリジナル版ですよー。

3:35 squeak...

we played with in 7th grade. Sounds good

re-watching the game it was so intense but fun!

Awesome game two!

is this is new jersey??

Hi Boys 😍💋 💝💖♥️❤️

we hav to learn this this year for hs ;-;

watching this over ten years later, shows how amazing this performance was. amazing job, love how the bass clarinets, especially the contra basses, really show through at some point. i am a brass and percussion player but if i was to learn a woodwind instrument it would be either bass clarinet, tenor sax or bari sax (i'm just a sucker for low instruments) but back to the main point. amazing performance, sincerely, a high school sophomore in 2020 :)

Imagine this piece but bass boosted

I played this song in the brass band when I was in junior high school. This performance won a gold medal in the junior high school division: czcams.com/video/p7P2OWoJbOI/video.html

These kids are great. When was this recorded?

Still one of the most solid endings for the horns I’ve seen from a high school group, that C at the end was perfect👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

The slap stick guy must have had a good time

How about a standing ovation for the percussion section? They were superb and I remember how hard my high school band director had to work our percussion section on this very piece (but I played euphonium). It is not in any way, shape, or form easy.

This is a great performance, but there’s like one flute that is riding just a bit flat and it’s pretty obvious in the beginning; the whole piece sounds great though!

What’s a horn angle?

Wow!! Just wow!! Great arrangement and really good playing. Has the sharp edges and weird sounds of the original as well as the dynamic power of modern instruments. Fantastic to listen to.

Way too fast

One of our percussionists destroyed the temple block set, and we never started a concert with less than five whips on hand after the first playing. Finally made them of hardwood instead of pine planks.

6:57 the guy counting the beats out loud 😂

A ton of 7th graders enjoy to brag playing this so called hard “piece” and truly they play it just because the 8th graders carry them

I play the bass trombone part for this song, the clapping sticks scare TF out of me every time.

Low brass getting it DONE

CONTRABASS CLARINET!

Bravo!

Awesome job! Takes me back!!! LOVE IT!!!!!

Played this in HS and my freshman year at JSU

Playing this for my highschool's spring concert 👌

Congratulations! Lovely version of this very infectious music. The Flemish people of Antwerp would heartily approve Ilm sure Yourr students look and sound wonderful. . :-)

That was superb

Awesome job! I know how much hard work went into it, because I was in a high school band that performed this in 1969. A performance to be proud of for the rest of your lives! Congratulations!

I have always enjoyed playing and conducting this piece. It is so simple and beautiful and can make almost any band, regardless of size, sound wonderful.

rip off as strange humors

Great job, esp the low reeds

Fasten your seat belts!

Can someone please play just the bass clarinet part? I want to just hear that

This high school band puts UF's performance of this song to shame.
