[RosalynM5]

Playing this in band, and I absolutely love it. It's a great way to honor those people killed in Flight 93. R.I.P.

[dancemaker2]

That one person that disliked this has no taste in music.

[16pebbes12]

[Crazyhightec]

OMGGGGG :D

[linbrk]

[eggertstwart]

[itzstixXzbitch]

@eggertstwart thank u i am glad to be a fag

bastard

[eggertstwart]

@itzstixXzbitch Good for you, really. I was just trollin'.

[BubbleMegaBBQchips]

omg. why does this sound so happy. when 9/11 always makes me cry.

i respect all who died on flight 93 <3

[regaldrifter]

this sounds like an old hymn.. thought it was religious, but the song name is It is Well, at least thats the first time i heard it.

[Iceprincess2118]

This song gives me chills every time I play it. Btw, one of the passengers, Todd Beamer (the one who said,"Let's roll!") of Flight 93 was a graduate of my school, Wheaton Academy. We are dedicating this song and a plaque to him in honor of his courageous move of leading a team of ordinary passengers in extraordinary heroes by taking back the plane. Todd Beamer was a true Warrior! Go WA and Todd Beamer!

[MegaJesusFreak4ever]

my band did this, and we got tears and standing ovations...so we did it again, the same year, by popular demand :)

[BulbasaurC13]

YES! 5/4!

[gwengwen0212]

Is bassoon played in there ? If there is ... AWESOME !!! BASSOON-33

[Thekicker4ever]

My band Obsidian middle school played this at the Oregon State University Band festival and scored an 85. Awesome.

[Katiex130]

I played this song for Veteran's Day back in November on the bass clarient with the band.

[xXBienxAimeXx]

Played this in 7th grade for the 8th grade graduation. Go flutes. (:

Love the meaning of this song, and the arrangement is so lovely.

[BellaCullen1017]

i have a concert coming up in about 2 weeks and we are playing this piece.its not as amazing as this video of course,but its a working progress

[Beara412]

This is probably my favorite piece to play :)

Love this arrangement.

CLARINETS <3

[BulbasaurC13]

@Beara412 Clarinets are the best. Everything else sucks XD (just kidding, don't take offense)

[phantokamistika2008]

I think that it sounds better during the 'hijacking' part if the trumpets clash more

[phantokamistika2008]

I've met James himself, he's a amazing composer and director as well =]

[madammanga]

@phantokamistika2008 WTF IS YOU DOING HERE?!

[phantokamistika2008]

@madammanga lol :P

[tsofan13]

2:34 -3:02 kinda reminds me of Indiana Jones for some reason

[LouieG14]

Yo totalbandie are you from whs?

[LouieG14]

Yo total bandie are you from whs?

[totalbandie]

I LOVE this song. it irks me though, because i'm in symphonic band for the rest of the year, and half the kids in there DONT CARE about music, so it drags the rest of us[ that are going to wind ensamble next year,] down and we have to play lame stuff.

[perrytheplatypus41]

@totalbandie Haha a lot of us are stuck in similar situations...

Don't worry, it gets better :D

[wilproK]

@totalbandie

>not in an honors ensemble

>2012

>do you even play?

[gingersnapshard666]

I loved playing this song, it is so beautiful <3

[biggriv1]

whats the tuba part like

[Brainfreeze56]

@biggriv1 not bad.. im the only one in my school tht plays it.. its neat tho..

[biggriv1]

hows the tuba part

[LimboMaster1]

If anyone has the trombone part to this song, can you email it to me asap? ill give you my email address!

[MrMusicman269]

@LimboMaster1 I have the 1st and second part

[TortiaGuy132]

one of my favorite to play, the trombone part is fun.

[imakehats15]

@TortiaGuy132 hell yeah. fuckin loved playin that part for this song

[AznGamer009]

Great song composed in memory of 9/11

[laduzi2]

If there every was a marching band ready piece, this is it. Beautiful.

[Zironyxcyx]

in this song you can hear the song "It is well with my soul". its the recurring theme. This song gave me chills. I had the luxury to conduct this song for marching band, lots of field work.

On stage, getting people to sing along with "it is well with my soul" made the concert all the better

[FoodWars123]

May you rest at peace Flight 93.

[kittykatz503]

this is truly wonderful :]
