Contemporary Marching Band - Grade 3-4
Few songs epitomize the music of the 1980s like this smash hit recorded by Nena which gained worldwide popularity in 1983-84. Featuring the half-time funk riff followed by the intense fast rock tempo, this is guaranteed to get the stands jumping.

Matt Conaway has been killing it with these arrangements recently.
Don't know if all of them are new, but my point still stands.

[@spencerparker8406]

It's a good point Matt Conaway is a legend

[@arandomerenfan3413]

Speaking of Matt Conaway’s arrangements, Paul Murtha’s arrangements have me at my best prepare for band camp this year.

[@newmariobrothers4617]

Matt conaway is literally the only thing keeping me alive during this pandemic

[@anonnymoose2372]

I have nothing but band to do so I just listen to all the arrangements between practices.

[@spencerparker8406]

Good news: it's basically over

[@HeavenestStCyr]

Maybe it's the quarantine enhancing your arrangement skills but daang. This is just quick production of quality music.

[@cardamomthyme8348]

this is part of our marching band show this year ! its really fun :)

[@mightymorbinmorbster2746]

luckyyyy

[@PoopSagots]

What school you go to mate because I have it in my show as well

[@isabellamitchem1593]

It was in my show as well!

[@obscure_llama2358]

This song sounded so familiar but I couldn’t think of what it was, I love the low brass parts

[@mansamusa8191]

it’s literally the title of the song, 99 red balloons

[@obscure_llama2358]

Well yes but it sounded familiar I thought it was a different song

[@sabsi711]

The Original title is "99 Luftballons" and is from the german Singer nena :)

[@CoryTheNorm]

@@obscure_llama2358 You may have been thinking of Crash by the Primitives. The similarities were bugging me a while back.

[@sameerdhanvantari2492]

"Neunundneunzig Luftballons" by Nena

[@cloud_boba7]

When I heard this I was like this is gonna be HYPE

[@ZWood-if4lk]

Idk why, it's not like I grew up in that era, but I feel a painful nostalgia listening to this. I don't remember ever knowing this song as a kid, but it reminds me of those days very much. Funny how things can do that.

[@awakenedxxz]

right??

[@josefstalin1273]

I played this at a football game 2 hours ago and it’s still stuck in my head…

[@noobydev9270]

This song always lifts up my spirits no matter the type of situation it is!

[@thecrowbarfoogle647]

Still the most cheerful song about balloons causing a nuclear war.

[@spencerparker8406]

Lmao

[@dwaynethecrockjohnson634]

My band class is playing this exact arrangement it’s so fun

[@isabellamitchem1593]

Mine too!

[@fierceshadowxd511]

1.25x speed makes it sound really cool

[@viking5736]

I'd say 1.10x is better

[@Aduysvmncmkouyf]

@@viking5736 that’s not available

[@viking5736]

@@Aduysvmncmkouyf it is. If you select custom you can adjust speed by x0.05 increments

[@dawnieABHHHWNEHRNNSO]

@@viking5736 there’s no custom

[@The_Roman_Empire]

Have the trumpet solo in marching band because our old soloist graduated, and our backup soloist became a drum major.

[@dedede5586]

Matt Conaway is a blessing

Yeah and the actual song is in German because the band who wrote it was East German

[@Mona-fb1ev]

So the song is originally German and called ‘99 luftballons’ (I am German and was a little confused at first hahaha)

[@RikardPeterson]

Nena did record it in English too. :)

[@TrinityHope-yf5vu]

This is a marching song but I’m playing it for concert band 😭

It's in the description :)

[@joeyfeniello]

What vst/library are you using for sounds?

[@RikardPeterson]

Live musicians.

[@Jerbear1022]

Title of the sheet music is backwards. Gotta put luftballoons first! 😂

[@RockStarOscarStern634]

Goldfinger covered it too.

[@phoenixmcgrew2964]

Tuba need to be louder but I think that goes for really all arrangements, either way still great!

[@RikardPeterson]

😁

[@JadynBee]

am i tripping or is the trumpet solo skipping the E on measure 5?? i’m stressed trying to figure out this solo 😭😭😭 edit: i was tripping i figured it out hehe

Is it bad that I like this version way more than the original?

[@thisisyes3973]

nah the pep band version always goes hard

[@FastnOut]

It would be nice if there was closed hi hats from 29-44 because it sound pretty empty

[@coleweglian1583]

Great video and did you write all the notes for the song by yourself

[@WillTheBassPlayer]

Hal Leonard Music Publishing has people to do this. And the use software and then print it out so it's actually legible

[@norastempin9660]

I hope the orginal German Sing and Songwriter NENA knew about this version

Alright show of hands who wans Ufortable to animate Guts' amazing story? ✋️

Dear arranger, bottom mellophone notes at beginning are too low and will sound bad.
