[alba444]

Baritone and trombones in this song are so beautiful. (not the baritone sax the baritone horn).

[CalebTheTimeTraveler]

I remember playing this back in my freshman year of High School more than half a decade ago.

Fond memories of my old trumpet days.

[Disneygurlrocks]

[alba444]

@Disneygurlrocks im a baritone horn and i play the same thing as the first trombones. its amazing. i love this song. its got that feeling of sadness of a lost love one but then you get to the ending and seeing that someone is there for you. its a heart warming song. i love it. <3

[littlebigtangelo]

TRUMPETS!!!:)

[AerithGreatGospel]

I played this about three years ago when I was a junior in high school. This song oddly made me cry. It just made me super emotional. I was a flautist (Flute player for those of you who don't know the term) when I was in high school, and it just really touched me, and still does to this day. I believe I commented on this back when I was in high school.

[jman45z]

FIRST TRUMPETS :D

[HPloverl]

How about a flute guy? Recognize that? Sorry-childhood book

[shawil12]

i freaking love this song. its so beautiful btw, GO CLARINETS!!! lol. couldnt resist.

[justinaadu2]

This is currently our warmup piece

[chancemasterp]

played this for state place 1st in gold division. It is one of the more easier works i have played but verry difficult to make the whole band balance and stay harmonized through this work. by the way 1st clairnet ftw

[chancemasterp]

played this for state place 1st in gold division. It is one of the more easier works i have played but verry difficult to make the whole band balance and stay harmonized through this work.

[CookiesAreStellar]

our symphonic orchestra played this in the heritage festival competition! :D we placed first in silver!

[HPloverl]

Our band warmup...I'm a flautist, but I was never very good...

[MissMisty111]

@HPloverl

Same here Dx Just finished practicing my flute lol I'm not very good

[shawil12]

@HPloverl whats a flautist? lol

[epetrucci4]

french horns representt!!

[ministreld]

Listening to this makes me cry....

[QueenMoonHuntress]

Play in 7th grade band. 1st clarinet. Now in 9th grade marching band.

[patriciamerivictoria]

These trumpets are better than ours (by a lot. don't tell anyone in our band that, especially Kyle Murdoch.)

[christophbell2]

lulz, this was a warmup song for the band I played in freshman year. We used it to practice phrasing, and though it is fun to hear it, it isn't the same as if you were sitting in the section as it was performed.

[TravisisPWN]

our little band played this so well, IMO better than this recording, everyone felt something :)

[Jordi3daJ0kA]

GO CLARINETS which by da way is like da bands soloists

[lollipopprincess12]

French horns please stand up :)

[krlowe]

That is just beautiful....

[liltiff14hendrixplz]

9 people don't have "Air" for band .

[cassieboylover]

what ever band is playing this must be from heaven because even my All State band didn't have clarinets that played as in tune as in this song!

[TheDhwrd]

Playing this for our Graduation

[janae2890]

omg i played first clarinet of this song when i was in middle school so beautiful

[souleaterlover11]

no matter what anyone says, 2nd French Horns; although you are dubbed the least important part of the entire piece, trust me, you're awesome, they just be hating ;3

[noahowensnoah]

@souleaterlover11 You are so right I play 1st and 2nd

[souleaterlover11]

@noahowensnoah *HIGH FIVES*

YEAH, FRENCH HORNERS!!!!!! THE BEST KINDS OF HORNERS~ :D <3

[thatchris84]

Ahh this song brings back so many memories.... We had an A/C unit in the band hall that when we nailed that last note it would ring in tone for another 10 seconds or so just like a tuning fork..

[coolerikman]

iu played this song in my 8th grade band at the end of the year because we had nothing better to do and it sounded so AMAZING!!!! LEts give it for SAX!!!!!!!!!

[AltoTenorBariSax2]

@kenidoo i know there's more than 3 saxes- but i was just refering to the saxes that are played in most

school bands... (cuz it would be really weird to have a subcontrabass sax in a school band, those things are

huge!!)(no homo)

[TheRichardGHP]

Bassoon?

[hunterdog339]

Also Sax anyone?

[LedNRoses]

Crash cymbal part got me so pumped, even though I only played 4 notes :P

[AltoTenorBariSax2]

GO TENOR & BARI SAXES!! (thumbs up peepz)

[Mrcatdaddy587]

First chair Tuba?

[souleaterlover11]

i think the french horns are so under appreciated, yet vital to this piece. such a beautiful band song~!

[AltoTenorBariSax2]

@souleaterlover11 i love frech horns but dont have any in my band.....but you are so right! i wish we had some.....

[Scooter10196]

@souleaterlover11 I'm a F Horn player and we're doing this song in a concert Nov 10th and i personally think your right we are unappreciated and I'm the only F Horn player in my class but gotta do what i gotta do : /

[souleaterlover11]

@Scooter10196 Good for you for being the only horn player in your band! I'm assuming, then, you have to play first horn for everything? I personally loved being 2nd horn, but that was just me. Yeah, french horns really don't get much credit at all XD

[Scooter10196]

@souleaterlover11 Yea but sometime my teacher makes me play 2nd Horn Parts due to the fact that he thinks it sounds better but I feel like i have a lot of pressure on my Shoulders since he wants me to play out alot lol

[greenangel1294]

[lazyman306]

[kingdoctuckertoo]

seriously hates the trumpet part... extremely boring, but it sounds really good when it's all put together.

[TheNightcloudHATER]

@kingdoctuckertoo this song is for wind instruments after all. it says so on the sheet music where i live.

[BellatrixLlvr]

i like this song, just not my part. I have a very boring whole note part (Tenor Sax)

[phantomgurl14]

i play this song in band and while im a flute player, the clarinets have such an amazing part! go clarinets!

[OkamiGohan]

2nd Horn here.... WOO GO WHOLE NOTES!

Well, at least it is a nice break from our march and the boom-chucks we are blessed with.... XD Oh the sweet life of a French Horn Player.

[huskieboynava]

@OkamiGohan i have first horn and its soooooo easy for this piece

[OkamiGohan]

@huskieboynava Well, at least it sounds nice. XD There wasn't much technically to this piece- it was moreso getting the shaping and atriculations uniform for us.

[Strapped14]

I just love this song !!

[TheMaster9583]

First trumpet anyone..?

[RiskyMocha]

@TheMaster9583 trumpet! but on this piece im playing baritone

[jhawkgiant77]

@TheMaster9583 first trumpets carry the band ;) with the help of the percussion....

[mynameisbob691]

@TheMaster9583 lol i was first trumpet!!!!!! best part ever.

this song is so expressive and so emotional :)

[TubaSmooth]

we're playing this for are FBA preformance on monday.. wish us luck!

[valandtweety]

I love to see the clarinets being praised! ^.^

Well, I guess that's because I play clarinet.

This is such an emotional recording of 'Air For Band'; it is nearly perfect. I say nearly, because the percussion was eh. I have heard better percussion on this piece. Other than that, I have to say that it blew my mind!

[nhfootballstr31]

@valandtweety ill bet the precus. is like that because of the quality of the recorder, which is wierd because the melodys/harmonies sound so beautifull. O.o

[123mxe1]

im in love with this song!!!. we are playin it now and everytime i play it somehow i get emotional...smh..lol

[wordypinoy808]

Trombone part is very emotional also...well the 1st part is. I SHOULD KNOW! xD

[CancorseTV1]
