I played this in fifth grade. I play trumpet
I played L.B. Tuba

Tuba boyos
Trombone over here, low budget school band so I was the only low brass. :(
This is my favorite song out of all the songs we do as a band at my school
Yvng S3UCE same
Same
Same 🥱🥱
Yeah

Ah memories of 6th grade! I played the flute for 3 years in middle school and it absolutely drained me. Those long notes always made me so light headed.
Pretty difficult for most 6th graders. Cool you could do it.
SAME I DO IT NOW AND IM PRACTICING WITH IT
Try flute 2 Rising Star. That really drains my breath
@@brandonmills264 I’m a 6th grader and it’s easy
I am playing this song for my performance this August
With song you have to really pay attention to dynamics like when the crescendo and decrescendo
Tyler Rose shouldn't you do that to all songs
I don't know about you but I just have to hit this big metal disk eight times at a specific time
Tyler Rose omg yeah especially if you a bass clarinet player
Played this in my school for MPA
@@iangray8722 what's MPA
Every music piece has always had a comment section that was wholesome with fun stories. For those people, I say thank you and keep it up across the platform.
i’m gonna squeak sm while playing this, i’m a clarinet btw 😭😭
Annee I. 😳
Did the same thing when I was in 8th grade lmao
In a concert in another school
I can literally hear myself squeakin on the clarinet part lol I miss my middle school band
I played the Clarinet too and Squeaks a bit.
I remember doing this in 7th grade.... Memories
SAME BUT MY 6th grade year (i think, it has been like 5 years hahah)
me right now lmao, i play the snare part
this is my favorite band song i ever played
same but our band sucked
@@sl8er831 same😂😂
Ima snare and if I mess up the teacher is like “ HEY JUST REMEMBER TO DO IT RIGHT” and everyone stares at me.
im performing this tomorrow, and the other player bailed so now i’m stuck playing the whole snare part😅
@SomebodyYouKnow yea i have to play tomorrow too on snare in front of 30-400 people and i don't even have measures 39- the end sooooooooo
I can confirm this happens with our snare too. I’m near the back row since I’m a Tenor Sax so I know what happens 😂
I had to compete in a contest with this song and im baritone
Im a bari sax and my band conducter said THIS IS QHERE U FINALLY CAN PLAY LOUD cause she's a professional bari sax player
I play the clarinet in my band and in 7th grade, this was our 3rd song out of like 40 (many other instruments at home)
I almost died on this song cuz I was going from a G a Bb and while I was transitioning my spit decides to go down and choke me and coughed through my trumpet cuz it was unexpected and I ended going from a G to a High E or something and my teacher fussed at me for doing that I was like bitch I almost died
lmao xD
Yo what G and man you have to have your trumpet sticking straight up to do that
can relate
Oof
LOL, I hope that doesn't happen to me!
second song we played last year in 7th grade
Emanuel Garcia are you in 10th grade now?
Emanuel Garcia yeah, today is my lgpe and this is the second one we are playing today! :)
Rip I’m playing this tmrw night at my concert with my 7th grade band with professional judges watching it’s my last song wish me luck
Well your in high school now
We did this in 6th get on my level boy
when I was performing I messed up on the clarinet part and everyone could hear it...
Ace24681YT oof
I’m clarinetist too
😬
Its_AceYT happens to all of us Buddy happened to me too
I hate that on tenor sax
we were supposed to play this song for a very important concert but
*its corona time*
Nice pfp btw that’s my favorite anime show
We had a regular year during covid. We missed like a month or two early 2020. And that's cause our school didnt have stuff ready and said screw it. But all of covid full regular in school. Which was great
I played this song in all districts when I was in middle school! I’m in college now, but this will always be one of my favorites!
My band teacher makes us go way faster at 0:27. Also ALTO SAXES!!! He called me slow in class for playing faster then this. But we always find a way to slow it back down to the normal speed.
It's supposed to go faster
Dat Boi Dave that’s weird to play faster but whatever your band instructor says I guess
its cause for some instruments its moderately fast
Dat Boi Dave we go faster too and I’m on the drums so I have to really build it up ‘xD
ofc u have to go faster, there's a tempo change (Boldly to Moderately Fast)
at school, in band, at a concert and a competition all of the classes are gonna play together to play this, I'm trumpet
Played this in band years ago, one of my favorites, always stuck in my head, nice to hear it again all these years later!
1:08 is where I would get shives down my spine because of how beautiful it is and I played this 2-3 years ago but in 2:25 we would give it our all and blast it to make it more interesting and everyone loved it even though it wasn't quite right at first
same, its so good on saxophone 😃
@@Noah-qg8fzthere is this one sax in my band he is awful. He plays the clarinet at measure 13 (0:30) and it’s awful and he really gets on my nerves. Btw I play clarinet
In my jr band (6th grade) and Senior band(7&8th) we were overpowered by flutes, clarinets, trumpets and alto sax. When we did this song for a music festival in grade 7 we got with another school. We still weren't close to equal with one bass guitar player helping me and the one other trombone player. No other brass or low instruments that I recall.
I’m 26 and I still remember playing this in middle school. I was trumpet and this is still my favorite piece
I'm playing this song for my end of the year concert and I play the flute, (The spring concert and it's going to be our last concert, can't wait)
On Tuesday, 11 2016 Hcpa
Same but I’m playing oboe
I also play Flute and Im playing it for MPA this year.
I play flute, I played this at the ETM festival in 5th Grade
0:30 i love the way the clarinet section is made! I played this song at a concert a month ago and boy was it fun 😂
No i don’t play the clarinet, i am a trombonist and the trombone section was actually a little tricky to do but i still enjoyed it
Brass players *eye roll*
Same here
I play the bassoon and I really like this I got my band director to use this for our concert
Alto sax/Bb clarinet/Eb clarinet/Bass clarinet player here. measure 13 was a nightmare. At the time I was a clarinet player.
I know a couple different instruments for different things, this I had to play bassoon when I was gonna do tuba
I think I played this.. in 6th grade many years ago. It was my favorite right next to sunset overture.
I'm playing it in 6th grade
I played this in 5th grade
Im doing northridge overture lol
As a trumpet player this and cathedral are my favorite songs i’ve ever done
This is my last year of high school. I had fun playing many many nice songs during concert band, but this one is and will always be my #1 song. This song is so beautiful but, the ending is just so magnificent! The way the trumpets sound like they do in war movies and all the other instruments coming together. It’s so amazing. I always picture my accomplishments whenever I listen to it and it makes me feel so happy. I love it so much and I will miss band:))
I just played this song at a concert like a month ago on the clarinet its hard but you sound so good!!! What the heck?😂😂😂
clarinet also
I'm in the 6th grade and we are doing this song right now

Ex-Sousaphone Tuba player reporting. Played this in middle school '08.

Omg I finally found it. We played this in my 6-7 grade band and I could never remember what it was called. I’m so glad I finally found it lol
Michael Sweeney makes top notch music
fr
I’m playing this piece tomorrow with my band for a school event and I absolutely love it
all city?
@@minovexx huh?
Played this in seventh grade on trumpet. This was when i first moved to my new school and my band director just hands me three pieces. All for one one for all by Carol Britin Chambers, Imperium by Michael Sweeney, and Dark Adventure by Brian Balmages. All of them were pretty fun, but I liked this one most for its snare part.
We played this in band when I was in 7th grade. In 2004. It's amazing to think that was so long ago. The melody after the percussion at around 1:32 has resonated with me ever since I heard this peice. That drop from B flat to A to A flat was mindblowing to me for some reason. It's my favorite piece we ever played in band.
By far my favorite song I’ve ever played. So badass!
I love this piece I played it during one of my concerts and I say it sounded awesome
Played this song when I was 12 for our regionals honors band. I was completely lost at first lol & again in 8th grade which was a breeze for me . 1st Clarinet 🤘🏽
im learning this song right now in my band class and it hits in all the right ways!!!
What instrument u on
@@Chedda11 on the flute
Love this song we are playing this
I remember doing this but orchestra combined with band and all of those high notes we did was great I miss playing the violin :( also the guy who did the solo drum part did so good like really good!(his name is Gus) we played this for an all arts show thing for the 4th graders,the parents,and the whole school,and it was so fun I made new friends,we played this for a play called “Save the queen” which the acting teacher made himself,there was choir,dance,and the tech people,it was sooo good,and the best of all we art people were dismissed from school WAY EARLIER LIKE 5 or 6 Hours earlier to rehearse everything:D I miss it sooo much :(
That actually sounds like it’d be really interesting to listen to
I'm a clarinet player, but I love the first trumpet's part at 61
I play the tuba and I love this song it’s my fav out of all the songs we play at my school.
This song makes me miss middle school 😭😭
Ahh the memories of hearing this!
Back in my hay day... i used to murk that brass. #trumpetgang
I’m playing this song for band TODAY IM SO EXITED
I hope you did great
I am a saxophone player and I played this and omega one cause we are learning this for Jr faccs this year
i play gong for this and boy get a new gong you can barely hear this one 😂😂😂
Hailey Howard wanna know something ironic this is played by like professional old white dudes so you should hear them especially cus they make a bunch of money and are able to buy a bunch of gongs
i play flute and this is one of my favorites because of the unique parts flutes get
Man it’s been years since I played this song. Percussionist in 5th grade
im playing this in band right now, it gives me chills every time we play it especially measure 61.
im late to reply but we played this for our concert in march and we did pretty good
apparently this is gonna be a song I play on the flute for one of my schools concerts, sounds super cool.
My cool ass band teacher finally yelled at me because I was trying to tell a kid that he was playing loud, ngl I felt scared. Now I can't go to a high school to perform because of this coronavirus
This song was so good last year. My class was at festival and the snare messed up the solo towards the end, the judicaters didn't notice so we ended up with a one
this song is my favorite thing ive ever played, it gives mysterious and marching band at the same time ☠️
I’m right now learning this song and it sounds so cool I also just got done learning Aztalan by micheal Sweeney to
And I play clarinet
Five or six days ago I attended NYSSMA from my school band and this was the
ending song that we played and like 3-4 days after that we had to give our band teacher all our music papers it was very sad.
I was a clarinetist but I played the bass drum because we were low on percussionist for this song.
Ava Wilson nice
+ Ava Wilson nice I'm on tuba
"Piece
Thomas Monaghan
Piece**
I'm confused on the part when you hit the rim for base drum
Thanks for posting this! Now I have the music to play along with to, so I can practice on marimba
This is not a problem, and i think it's cool, but only bells are supposed to be on the song. We did this also, and Marimbas honestly sound better than bells.
Mate this song love the perc this song
We have a concert at my school, and we are doing this as one of them. we are less than a week away. I'm very excited!
