Wind orchestras actually sound quite better, cuz of the sound clarity, independence and strengt. Symphonic orchestra is like chill, enjoyable one and wind is like army - pleasant, motivative.

Veramente bravissimi ! Un ottimo suono !

JustMyChannel really if everyone in your band practiced enough and knew the piece off by heart you could easily sound like this or even better.

There is actually another concert band version that is really good, it's from the original musical but the same music. No Stars though and it's not an arrangement by Bocook, I believe it might be Robert Lowden?

Wait, sorry Bob Lowden did a version based on the 2012 movie. However it's a decent arrangement closed to this one, just doesn't start with "Look Down". I'll find the other arrangement I was thinking of. m.kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kJOWjb2Tqbitd4E.html

Aha! I'm thinking of the Warren Barker version, it's based on the original musical. It's a medley but a decent arrangement. m.kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mtp_fpeW2b_Fdmw.html

I’m pretty sure I played that arrangement in high school lol

Yes me too, Anjong ... the whole performance is awesome and so well played too. I was singing along to all of the songs. :)

Well, this is a wind orchestra right here. Just not a philharmonic/symphonic orchestra.

They are high school students, and this is brass band club!

Haha I played this in my high school band but we probably didn't sound this good XD

Well here, perhaps grade 4/5's are learning hot cross buns for May be a week? We had award winning hands in public school, incredible music teacher.....we knew 4 scales within 2 months, memorized. Grade 5/6 split classes gave grade 5 kids the advantage to start band early too. My high school was also amazing! Fanatic programmes and well, Number 1 across North America when we competed in Boston....now this is in Canada where all we hear about is bloody hockey.....Huge support of the arts in my town when I was growing up though. I now play with military, concert bands and orchestras in a big city. We played Robert W.Smith's "Purgatorio" the year we got number 1......one of the last years when there wasn't this silly "competing against a standard...." As opposed to "winning"....anywho, I also taught Hot Cross Buns, but I start with the basics of music theory first.

There as opposed to "here"

+Crystal Mallory I'd be interested to now the name of your band. "Number 1 in North America" is a pretty bold statement. I'd encourage you search KZfaq for the term "TMEA Honor Band". You'll be introduced to some of the best bands in the State of Texas. Check out the Langham Creek recording....also take the time to listen to Coppell MIDDLE SCHOOL (12&13 year olds) playing the very challenging Circus Bee march. It'll blow you away.

Not a bold statement at all. I'm not in the states, I'm in Canada. My senior band (high school) actually won the classic music festival across North America. It's actually the truth, we went to Boston to compete. They talley the results across all of them (they are across Canada/US), at first we were in the top 10% but had to wait to find out until the last week of June, this was in 1998. Then my music teacher, Mr. Wayne McGrath got up on the stage on the last day of school, when we always had a school assembly in the morning and out he came with an award taller than himself! NUMBER 1! Small town, you won't find the recording on You Tube like so many thing are now.....how old were you in '97/98?

I came across your comment as the solo started!

30 minutes of General Music is required *daily* from Year 1 to Year 6 in all public elementary schools. They're not allowed to study band instruments in those classes, but they still get quite a bit of other things done. Most Japanese kids who've NEVER been in band, choir or orchestra will enter the 7th grade knowing how to read a grand staff, knowing how to recite chromatic solfege in immovable 'Do', knowing how to play a chromatic scale on a recorder or melodica, and will have experience singing in at least 2 part harmony (as most school songs have 2-part harmony, and the entire student body is required to sing it). This puts them a good bit ahead of our band beginners in the States when they pick up their first instruments in 7th grade. After that 1st year of band they'll have spent more time with the horn on their face than our kids get in all of 3 years from grades 6 thru 8. And by the time they're in their final year of Junior High (grade 9) they'll be able to outplay most American HS seniors.

I feel the same unfortunately :/

No, you do not suck and don't compare yourself to this band. It is different there where they spend hours and hours of practice.....better self discipline and commitment (meaning how here we end up with people who don't practice etc...). It's a different level of playing, I'm actually surprised they had music in front of them from some of the other videos I have seen.

@@hornalicious If you start band in kindergarten you have 4 hours a day every day accept holidays mandatory practice. When you play at that level you start to not enjoy music because it's all about increasing stamina range tone and you basically turn into a robot

@@Aruesx I'm not saying we should do band in kindergarten. The kids are too tiny! We start in grade 4 at my daughter's school but some grade 3s get to start early because there is a 3/4 split. My daughter is bugging her teachers to make sure she gets into that class because she wants to take trombone in school. Lol

Because u compare urself with pros😫

I thought they were playing Elmo's world

Jeremiah lol same

Bass*

I think because it uses wind instruments, no strings. Brass are technically wind instruments.

marcel peeters

gianluca duretto Thank you we are gone play it :-)

It's a Molenaar publicationl, but they can't sell it in the US

newyorkbrass yep

+adriano camargo marcel peeters you can order it in the netherlands at molenaar edition. also to be found on their you tube channel

Nevermind, I found the name of the song which I needed: Drink With Me. The list of the songs are: Look Down At The End of The Day I Dreamed A Dream Castle On a Cloud Master of the House Drink With Me Do You Hear The People Sing

Kathy Gledsdale Marcel Peeters

If I am not wrong

Gérard Giroud Marcel Peeters

All people make mistakes at least once.

😂

*squeak*

+sjsymphony NO

No, they are just high school student.

Hopefully there is a boombox in the back playing the real tunes. Or else... We are no longer allowed to show pride.

+Cameron Smith lol

+Cameron Smith The school band scene in Japan is awesome. The sheer number of kids playing on that stage would be amazing in itself over here. Makes one kind of jealous when considering one's kids prospects..

It's the level of self discipline there as well.....lack of commitment here is killing us all. There they are fully committed and work their arses off!

Because They were trained very nice.. I hope so your band is good..

梅田貴央 大阪府にある四條畷学園高校の吹奏楽部です

"Wing" on the wall banner is referring to the location they are playing in I believe. Still a wind band. It could be an Air Force base or something.
