I already knew exactly what you were referring to before I clicked the timestamp and I love that

Yes

My band in middle school is so small I'd probably get called out, unless of course I hid behind my tuba

If their band has a whip lul

Surprisingly, I've never made that joke in high school when playing this piece. It's probably because I played the clarinet part.

It’s literally just eighth notes in cut time lol

@@ryanfloyd9293 Do you see how foolish that is to say?

@@ryanfloyd9293 bro the triplet high note patterns are gnarly what you on

don't forget the oboes lol

@@ryanfloyd9293 Especially with the key signature they’re in it’s murder on the pinkies and requires tons of practice to sound that fluid

ikr !

Hi Carter

@@Graham_M hey lol

... hi?

Hi carter

Hi carter

As a highschool trombone player these guys sound amazing! Their tone is great and has a full sound. Def better than me lmao.

@@ecchicookie I’m doodoo

Agreed!!

Not to mention the nicely controlled dynamics. Those crescendos were well executed throughout.

@@joshuakegley3524 and really nice tone

Same here!!

Same

Same lol

To bad or to quiet, you can't win with the trombones in our school 😭😭

Am I the only one with good trombonists in my band? One kid sucks, then there’s me, and 2 others who are pretty good.

@@theciakitchen4828 I think they contributed a lot. I love their part.

Same honestly 😂

Let's go band🕳️

just realized fsu actually has a stand tune really similar as well hah

My school has that as well. Every school makes it seem like it’s so unique, but it isn’t really is it? 😂 always so fun to play

@@sunniday7750 yeah and its always a different name

That stands tune started at the University of Michigan as Lets Go Blue!

LMAOAOAO

That look on his face was so funny, got me dying out here

I am one too, and i normally play the bass drum and thats how i am in class everyday XD

as the one who played that part, YES.

as a percussionist..... yeahhhh

Haha his face

I know that feeling 😂

caught in 4k lmao

Well luckily it was only in class lmao

counting is hard

This is the arrangement most every band uses lol. I play baritone part, but i can tell it's the same one.

I'm trombone but am also playing the baritone part for the half notes + a couple other things lol. My school is smol enough that I'm the entire low brass (yet somehow there's like 7 clarinets)

@@RedPandaStan what arrangement is this? My band always plays the Michael story arrangement

@@Evan-ug9hr Leroy Anderson

Bro I am a 7th grade tuba and I am in honor jazz and pep band but I still can not be in sync with this other chick so I can see where you are getting that from lol

@@thetamerofcharizards9597 aye man, tuba players are RARE asf, don't stop rocking that

@@rhysaguirre6967 I’m playing tuba and trombone

@@Aduysvmncmkouyf gotta love the lowbrass ❤

@@rhysaguirre6967 yea, don’t forget the baritones/ euphoniums though

Fluties unite

absolutely agree! -fellow flute friend

Flutes >> everyone else

me toooo

trombone is also my favorite brass instrument, coming from a fellow flute player, they always get the coolest parts in our concert music.

Same as a floutist

Aye I am a high school freshman clarinet

it is, i play it. we call it charge 1

Steven Esparza We call it Go Big Blue

SmolishBoio - we called it go big red

It is, and I love it for that reason. My school called it go big green haha

We call it let’s go band

my guess is high school and yes, either way they are sounding very good. Top notch trombones here. And the whole band from the sounds of it are excellent.

Plot twist: it’s the elementary school band that you always wished for.

hi jason

Colgate ahhaa

looks to be highschool

Amen

Yep - from a fellow sax player

facts

The 3rd part is so good, I had to switch parts with someone to get it.

I agree It's fun. Also easier than the other parts as always.

I play trombone 3 and although I would like to play the little section that repeats through I enjoy it.

That’s the one thing missing from this video

You got to be in all three of them?? In most schools you have to pick one...

@Eric Bailey don't regret letting go of it, you know what they say: playing the tuba--- it's a dirty job, but somebody's gotta do it...

@@dw1419 Yes, I was very blessed to be at a high school that emphasized music highly. The band director, choir director, and orchestra director all collaborated to make sure to the highest degree possible that students could be in all of them. I played trombone in the band, and we had a full orchestra that would at certain times of the year borrow brass and woodwind students from the band. The choir director allowed band students to come for only half the period so that they could eat lunch. Some students were even in theater on top of all of that. I'm thankful to God every day that I went to a school like that.

@@thankyou62 That's awesome! I was in band, but would have been in the other two as well if I could have...!

@@dw1419 I know my school would let you pick two, but I’m not sure about all three 😮

BHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA- 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

We had a different piece, still Christmas, and we didn't have enough percussionists so the Flutes and Oboe (I play oboe and flute teehee) had some fun with some of the percussion instruments + some random stuff

Search for local youth orchestras. That’s how I get to be part of a section bigger than one person

I totally feel this when I was in middle school, thankfully we got new directors that completely changed that school’s band. Improve personally and everyone else will notice, and eventually there will be a change in that band!

Same but concert orchestra 😭 only a couple people are actually good and we have only 2 violas (as a cellist)

Improve yourself

Then everyone will love you

Right?? I haven’t played this song in forever, but I also play first clarinet and this piece was such a pain to do lol

Those high F#s are murder

clarinets never get rests

welcome to the low brass section

For this one one we're playing called Salvation Is Created, the 1st clarinets only get like the equivalent of one measure of rest total in the entire piece!! 😂

Wish you could hear mine but I don't have the videos as I have a newer phone everything else is on an old email

Bruh, we have 1 clarinet player and 2 saxophone players :/ And I’m just jealous seeing how good they sound too. I play trombone though.

Only thing that ever tripped me up with this song as a clarinet player was the fact you have to basically blast the start of those with only the first clarinet so it never comes out clear enough if even one clarinet is off pitch or slightly out of tune. It's very short and awkward jabs that also need to sound clear. I hate it Really it's an endurance battle so if you March the song isn't that much of an issue if played at a reasonable tempo. If you don't practice and only play during the concert season then don't expect much. (Even seen college clarinet players with bad breathing control so I can't imagine high school clarinet players that don't play year round) I've seen many bands drop the song from their list for good.

Yikes

:(

dude it’s difficult asf

I'm a cellist too it's always 5 measures of of challenge and then doing random scale runs the rest of the song.

Between Leroy Anderson and Sousa, it's enough to make you regret ever taking up the horn.

@@ssinssg And then [almost] everything else will make you grateful to play it!

I have literally never heard of a band where everyone plays all at once all the time, which is the only way you would have no idea what the other parts sound like. Band directors say "ok let me hear the trumpets at measure 18!" So either your band director was absolute shit or you are lying. I suspect the latter because every brass instrument has a fun part in this except French horn.

Same

i am that hand

WAIT WHAT NO THIS WAS 3 YEARS AGO

That's easy you noob

Hello blob

SAME

That does happen. I was in this one music program in 7th grade and it was basically just a full orchestra and I'm a flute player so one day the other flutes and I got so bored that we all just looked like we were going to use each other as pillows.

Oh my goodness yes
