Land of make believe - japan marching band

[wishingonthemoon1]

If I ever make it to Hollywood for some reason, I will buy a convertable car, put the top down, and play this as I cruise along with the wind in my hair ^-^ This song (and this awesome marching band) make me immensly happy!

[blues4never]

Suzuki System rocks ! These kids are playing in tune -- apparently all of them. they play to tell the story of the song. Brilliant !

[bloddyjay]

omg there insanley good!

[dallen3000]

so cool. great sound, great lines, great sound and lines! truly great band.

[MusicMaxwell]

I remember playing this song back in grade 9 on tenors, it was super fun

[CUDDLYMONKEYBIRDFISH]

dang japanise kids im in middle school and i cant play and march, i mess the band up

[malooknii]

aww its all boxes my band does that and we are mostley freshys so we still did the circles and wut not though. but all in all good

[DresdenStarwing]

Very well played, and brilliant marching...The blocking just seems very, well, naff. Compared to what a lot of marching bands in the US/UK 'march' this is very linear and not too nice to watch.

[muziqaltcft13]

the truth is very nice touch, I'm from Mexico, I wish there were bands like that here ... good! whether there but not with that kind of discipline to coordinate a training such static ... well congrats

[yanasty]

asian kids never cease to amaze me

[izzahoex3]

This is mi favorite marching performance EVER!!.

[4slippy89]

me and my band play this alot. i play in the long island sound, a marching band directed by bob worth. we need more members, so if you can, join!

[emoluver713]

i dont know if it's the quality but it looks like they have perfect stepping

[mpmcd81]

Wow. Truly exceptional.

[skunk96]

by any chance, do any of you all in youtube

know whos the composer of land of the make believe?????

[xawesomexelix]

Justin Timberlake; the early years.

[xawesomexelix]

just kidding

Chuck Mangione... or at least he originally played it.

[cdstingj]

Chuck Mangione

[DemonicAngel66613]

Woah.

[bastiaanjong]

what is the name of the band?

[SupErBigxGulP]

hey, diff ppl from diff part of the world thinks diffently of the various types of marching band la k. to me, honestly, i dun like the marching band stlye of the american marching bands .. -.- seems so uninteresting.

[carbonpaprisgud]

Japanese marching bands don't perform on standard football fields. This is what they do instead

[LucysGottaGrin]

They play it incredible and march expertly, but their actual show was lacking in any visuals...idk. Kinda bored me.

[Crazyfunk1]

this is a hard song to play so that's why they probably lacked visuals but their Asian like me so its no excuse pl0x. you guys might actually get a good visual score but i think you should do something anyway.

[horseshow35]

This is reallh hard to play~ I'm currently learning to play it for Jazz band and it's freaking hard on trombone. So There!

[Shmosif]

this isn't THAT hard to play!

we played this as our opener last year! If OUR freshmen could learn it, so could anyone lol

we also had an amazing visual.  With 360+ band members, it's not that hard xD

[trombonefan2013]

haha yeah right i highely doubt that with 360 members that it actually sounded good.

[rofreeze]

what are they playing on?

[Patrick966]

Looks like a basketball floor that's taped out like the Blast! stage.

[rdadal]

I like a term that maynard Ferguson once used in a show with those bands in competition on football fields. "They are a wall of sound."

[JustGabs]

We're playing an arrangement almost like this for our marching show this year. I love this song. The pinwheels are awesome.

[missiondude]

lol their ghetto feild is worse than our parking lot its not even full size

[raplover409]

Everything about the song was amazing, but the beginning could've been a bit slower...

[TennesseeHickChick]

Everything about this was perfect.. sound, marching in step.. Nothing wrong.. OMG.. Amazing!!

[terrielicious193]

i agree. For such an amazing song the ending sucked- balls.

[008klm]

Outstanding! Excellent!

[deedundone]

the ending totoally sucked, but everything else was like wow.

[thewigglesrule]

my concert band is playing this for our last concert :)

[bigmoe93]

for a small band thier gud

[slowttt11236]

WEll i wish we coudl march liek that instead of doing cordinates and markings on a football field i realise their band stayed close together and never seperated but they have better sound

[YinSian]

Whoa-- Sugoi! the turning part was so neat.

[SHdrummerguy08]

Those bass drummers are gonna kill their backs

[sujukebox74]

Drillin and sooooooo on poing lines are lamost perfect

[tepiyotl]

es la mejor reinterpretacion de chuck mangione, a este tema. muchas felicidades.

[cowluver12300]

OMG! Our band performed this song last year, but we weren't near as good as this band. :DDDDDDDDDD

[NoGuff]

Holy shit they're good! The band is small but has a great balance between the instruments. Everyone plays incredibly well, AND THEY MARCH! And very well. It's amazing.

[FruitsPunchSamurai]

my jazz band gets to play this!

[FirstTrumpet]

Like i asked 1 month ago can someone help me to find the score of "Land of Make believe" ??

Plz help meeeeeeeeeeeeeee.....:)

[sakuras0star]

whoa these are elementary shcool kids. in my elementary school band they played songs from the arocristocats, and jumped around. and one kid always went the wrong way.

[Wacoswim]

Now THAT is the way to march

[Wacoswim]

I LOVE THIS! This is so cool and so good! It's the same song in Chinese form. I love it!

[FruitsPunchSamurai]

don't you mean japanese form?

[Wacoswim]

Oh, okay: Japanese. Haha, I have a marching competition today! It's gonna suck cuz it's cold outside right now

[the5thlemming]

this band sounds amazing especially since it is so small!

[Wacoswim]

Well it's inside so the sound bounces back

[BandNerdSweetiepie]

wow.. thats like wow...

[THCrence]

amazing...

[FirstTrumpet]

I was searching just for the Music and i saw that !!!

Damn !! Here in Italy the Marching Band are not like that : this is coooooooool !! I saw DCI too, but here are 12-15 years old !! WONDERFUL !!!

(Can someone contact me : i want the score of "Land of Make Believe". Plz HELP ME!!

[razlanmanjaji]

Few things I learned from this video:

1) Simple movements and choreos can be amazing

2) You don't need a large band to be outstanding

3) Perfectly-played music makes all the difference

[harristhecavaliers]

OwrKeeng, we pity you... sorry..

[bandchick2008]

OwrKeeng!!!! you try to play and think about hwere you go how many steps it takes to get to the next part holding a extremly heavy instrument sometimes sprinting to your next spot and stay in line with everyone around all mhile you're playing your own music and hearing other people play theirs so before you go off and jugde marching band you should actually try it ur idiot!!!

[ckmoncayo]

Did any of you ever bother to think that maybe marching band in a different country is vastly different that that of american marching bands today? Our forms of marching band is strange to them. Besides they have a great ensemble sound and excellent marching style

[melodyfire]

OwrKeeng, please refrain from bashing the art form many people love and spend lives perfecting. I'm sure you are passionate about something that someone else doesn't agree with and you do not like when they blindly criticize it, so please give the same respect to musicians. Thank you.

[OwrKeeng]

There's nothing deep about marching band. It's the same thing as playing instruments standing or sitting except you make little coordinated patterns as a team.

[TaiidanSoldier]

It's harder than you might think.

[1337evan]

OwrKeeng I want to see you try and do this stuff. You have NO idea how much it takes to rehearse stuff like this. This show what we're watching is more of a show band. Go watch some DCI and you'll see how hard marching and playing at the same time is. How demanding it is. Think of running a marathon only 4 times harder because you have to think. What comes out of your mouth is what your parents taught you, which probably means that your parents did not love you very much.

[OwrKeeng]

Hahahaha, where the hell did you hear that? Why did you even believe that?

[GARY072123]

nice...... i agree wit the chick/or guy below me.... im in band and i dont get beating up.......... then again im in the drumline..... im pretty popular cuz im in the drumline....lol

[OwrKeeng]

Wow this is so gay.

[kotenshu]

Are you serious?? This is freaking amazing!!

lol, our jazz band is playing this soon aswell. in 4 days in fact!

[OwrKeeng]

Jazz Band, is never amazing.

[spucy]

Apparently you were never in band. Those kids are really talented.

[OwrKeeng]

I was in band, and it was gay. The only way I saw that it got gayer if it was marching band. Kids like them get beaten up in school.

[spucy]

I didn't get beaten up in high school. I'm still playing clarinet in my university marching band. It takes up time but there are quite a few perks. Marching is fine if it's something you enjoy. Sounds you're harboring a really old and useless stereotype.

[OwrKeeng]

Marching Band is gay no matter what.

[KindomHearts4Eva]

i fail to see how it is gay.. if you're saying the members themselves are gay you're wrong I know many CHEERLEADERS (they don't only have to date jocks, thats some stupid rule the media) who are dating members of the band, if you are saying the concept of a band playing while marching is gay you're wrong as well.

[KindomHearts4Eva]

The members put many hours dedicating themselves to the band so they can give a good show. They work hours with the drum major yelling in their face, frusterating them to the point where they want to quit BUT THEY DON'T.

[KindomHearts4Eva]

Marching Band works hard so they can put on a good show for you. Now if you are talking about the costumes that is for uniform. It is more appealing to the human eye then if it was just a bunch of people just wearing their casual clothing. SO DON'T YOU EVER CALLING MARCHING BAND GAY!

[OwrKeeng]

No, the uniforms look stupid, they deserve to get beaten up. Kingdom Hearts is gay.

[KindomHearts4Eva]

how old are you 5? You're totally immature. You need to stop using the term "gay" I am tired of people using this word to describe stuff they hate. While I will admit I did say "gay" a lot, that was only to help me prove my point.

[KindomHearts4Eva]

The word gay should never have been used to describe stuff people hate. Its just another word meaning homosexual, and is very demening to those who actually are homosexual. While I am not gay my self, I do have gay friends. So please, please just stop using the word gay.

[OwrKeeng]

Alot of words have more that one meaning dumb-dumb. Right can mean the direction, or correct, like I am. So marching band is gay and so is Kingdom Hearts.

[LGPOproductions]

Okay, OwrKeeng, you ugly seventh grader son-of-a-bitch. You have no idea what marching band it's like. Marching band is not just music and figures. Marching band comes from the heart. It comes from those seven hours a day you spend standing in 120 degree weather wondering why god didn't air-condition outside. Marching band is pure soul.

[OwrKeeng]

Marching Band is pure garbage. And I always thought that ugly and seventh grader were synonymous with marching band, not trolls on the internet.

[coasterdavid]

Just out of curiosity if you think so badly about marching band, why did you search and watch the videos of a marching band? Please tell me...

[AsMhMoOt]

wow then why did you look this video up ass hole

[DOAer]

Our jazz band is playing this soon at a jazz festival :) LEAD ALTO ROCKS! I have the duet with the lead trumpet.

[orangeparade]

and they are only in primary school! that means they are all only between 7-12!

[LiverTyler]

good performance, but japanese dont know what this song need. :/

[Moog167]

Wow they sound great but they just lack feel and movement but they are very presise....Marching band is supposed to be fun!

[WhiteRoseKitsune]

My jazz band playeds this. They were good. Our trumpeter, Marshall, was really good.

[neponsetriver]

wonderful Chuck Mangione song, sadly not as well known as some of his bigger hits.

available on CD of same title

[Dmmac]

Cool Cool Cool -- This is Awesome!! So tight!

[ban87]

wOW~!!! rock man~!!! Awesome~!!!

[mistermatt]

[Eduardo3000]

I played the trumpet solo last year
