[KaamekLasrao]

@snoop0851 True. =) - K

[KaamekLasrao]

@snoop0851 Yeah, probably. We weren't that good back then. =) - K

[RJA10001]

I think this is the same version my band is doing

[KaamekLasrao]

@RJA10001 Awesome! It's a fun piece, isn't it? - K

[sunakoXizumi]

[KaamekLasrao]

@sunakoXizumi Cool! I'm glad you enjoyed it! =D - K

[muwen360]

This is the best band I have seen so far playing Pink Panther so far.

[KaamekLasrao]

@muwen360 Wow, really? Thanks! We weren't that great of a band that year, though. (I'm going to try to get up all the videos from our concerts this Christmas break...who know how many I'll get up, though, because there are a LOT!) =D - K

[KaamekLasrao]

@chrissygirl30153

Haha, cool! =D - K

[MrBlakbelt]

[KaamekLasrao]

@MrBlakbelt

[litia725]

[KaamekLasrao]

@litia725 - Cool! And thanks! =D - K

[mahir100]

were playing this too :D... we jsut started though... im in 6th grade....

[KaamekLasrao]

That's great! It's a good tune. =) - K

[sattakhim]

i'm just a middle school and I have to play this song brrrr

it is hard

[KaamekLasrao]

Yeah, I bet it would be hard to play at that age. It's a fun song, though! =D - K

[sattakhim]

Is the pink panther a high school level or what?

[KaamekLasrao]

This particular arrangement at least. =) - K

[hahahahahasjovt]

Nice :)

[KaamekLasrao]

Thanks! =) - K

[cherrytamilie]

have to play this tomorrow night. clarinet! we got it last week, ehh not as good as this!

[KaamekLasrao]

Well, I hope it went well! =) - K

[Meagen917]

omg my band teacher keeps saying that we r gonna play that in band next year and im gonna have a solo im scared (:(

[KaamekLasrao]

Don't be scared - it's a fun song! And I'm sure you'll be fine on the solo! =) - K

[miguelzDRUMS]

nice job on everything except the percussion,

the snare was suppose to be played with

brush sticks not snare sticks and the hi-hat

was suppose to be open but good job on

all the swinging

[KaamekLasrao]

Ah, okay, thanks! =) - K

[mokimokiamy]

;\. Our group did better. There weren't so many intonation problems. Im a flute player in my band. It's not as hard to keep it in tone because i been playing it for so long! It would be easier if the clarinet players keep their bells between their legs...

I heard some wrong notes..

[KaamekLasrao]

Oh, I'm sure you did better. We weren't very good that year. :-\ We're SO much better now because we have a different director. =) - K

[CrazyJewishNerd]

My band class is also playing this song, 7th grade, but you guys are way better

[KaamekLasrao]

Really? Well, this is a high school band.... - K

[alleycat1102]

Of Course the flutes arent in tune...flutes are the hardest to keep tune...and i think you guys did pretty good :D

Im in both beginning and concert band and i have one vid from when i was in beginning the first time for clarinet now im in beginning learning flute.

[KaamekLasrao]

Ha, thanks!

Cool! I just had to learn flute to play in marching band (I normally play oboe) =) - K

[leella54]

good! but the tenors and saxs sound like they're on the wrong note! the flutes sound like they're not really in tone with eachother.... an i mean in tone.....

ya'll did good tho! were playn this song for our next jazz concert. i play the flute in regular band and the tenor saxiphone in jazz band! ps... our bands HUGE!

[KaamekLasrao]

Haha! Thanks! We sucked last year, though! (We are SO SO SO much better this year - we have a different director who is amazing!) And I hope the jazz concert went well, and if you haven't had it already - good luck! =) - K

[DeannaRose1213]

omg thats crazy. me and my friend morgan are both in band we both do FBA, she plays the oboe, i play the flute, and we have the same exact dress code for concerts... quite strange...

[KaamekLasrao]

Holy crap! That IS weird! Except dress code changed for us this year - all black. Anyway, that's still weird. Do you and you friend have any videos up of you two playing together? - K

[DeannaRose1213]

lol no we dont.. yet. we mite make some tho so keep posted :)

[NoFearz91]

sounds like percussion/drum set or whatever messed up :o

should've recorded this with better audio equipment :P

good job, tho :]

[KaamekLasrao]

Oh, I know. We weren't very good last year. =) - K

[musicluvr340]

ya'll sound a bit out of tune lol not bad though

[KaamekLasrao]

Haha, thanks! Yeah, we weren't all that good last year. We are SO much better this year because we have a different band director who is strict, but really, really good. =) - K

[GeninNinja]

our school is playing this song this year..god its so easy like i fall asleep..like i've been playing flute for 8 years and they throw these easy songs on me..(only because we dont have a big enough music department to have like junior band and senior band) seeing as im like..one of the two flutes i like..add some extra notes..improv! lol.. my teacher doesnt mind it sounds good..you guys sound awsome..cept kinda sounds like some flutes are off tune..

but other then that AWSOME!!

[KaamekLasrao]

Cool!

Well, thanks! Amkaro and I think we could've done a lot better on this (especially with the director we have now), but hey! - K

[GeninNinja]

it must be really nice to have a big band..in our band..theres like 2 flutes, 2 clarinets, 3 trumpets, 3 sax's, 1 bass clarinet, a xylophone player (he plays xylophone because his tenor sax is getting fixed) 2 tenor sax (one which is the xylophone) and a drummer..

wonderfull right?

[KaamekLasrao]

Oh, wow, that IS small! And our band isn't even that small compared to some of the bands I've seen! - K

[digitalchatroom]

when is your school's concert. mine is on december 9th

[GeninNinja]

our concert..well we have no clue..our school is having some idol thing..so they didn't put an arts night till second semester..but we all think that's not fair even the teacher..so if i have to organize a concert myself cuz i have more time then the band (cuz there the lower grades me being in grade 13 :P) then i will..

[KaamekLasrao]

Ah. Yeah, we don't really have an "arts night", we just have our band concert one night and our choir concert another night. - K

[KaamekLasrao]

We have ours December 6th. - K

[iclone]

Our school is arranged differently too. Our top band is called Honers band( the one im in) then Symphonic, then Concert band, and of course beginners. I play Bari sax! =)

Check out my band videos..

[KaamekLasrao]

Wow! That's a lot of bands, especially assuming they aren't super small bands or something. About how many kids do you guys have per grade? - K

[KaamekLasrao]

And I listened to your videos! You guys are really good! ☺ - K

[lrmexicanchick]

My school plays this, i play the flute!!! i'm not half bad but i just started playing his year.

[lrmexicanchick]

**this year.

[KaamekLasrao]

Cool! Yeah, Amkaro plays flute (and she's going to try and teach me this summer! Yay! Lol!) - K

[lrmexicanchick]

that's so cool!!!

[KaamekLasrao]

I know! I'm excited! Lol! - K

[nise96]

oh btw...

concert is NOT the best.

Symphonic is the best.

Concert is the second band.

Begginer is the of course begginers

[KaamekLasrao]

I guess it must just be different everywhere. I mean, with our school symphonic is the best and concert is next, but it goes by grade level, not really skill (but of course, age usually does correspond at least somewhat with skill), but with the orchestra organization I'm in, Concert Orchestra is the best, and then Philharmonic Orchestra is next. I guess it just varies from place to place. - K

[KaamekLasrao]

Our school doesn't have any band that's just called Beginner Band. In middle school, they're just called by grade level. - K

[CMoopu]

cool

my school plays it too

diff arrangement

[KaamekLasrao]

Neat! Who's the arranger? - K
