Strange Humors

[lunapelt05]

Hehe nice guys! I have to play this for a contest and I play clarinet... And I'm in honors band... In middle school. WELL WISH ME LUCK!!

[TMNoob3]

And now that Coulson is gone, Poteet will be rendered into nothing. You will be missed.

[GoGreenAllTheWay]

My favorite measure is J. We rehearsed that SO much last year!

[every1alwaysfalls]

I play Alto. That's a saxophone.

[Mrbr0w]

I had the awesome pleasure of playing this piece! NFHS- George Alex Brown

[marcella8924]

I would like to point out that John Mackey still has this recording as the recording to listen to on his website. :)

As a former Poteet Pirate Band member, I don't think anyone is allowed to argue. I was there when he said we were the best band to perform it thus far.

[taylorrenee96]

Ha, && yall know percussion owns! Js!

[CRAZYMEXICAN212]

I play the trombone too and i really like the solo. its really exciting for me to hear this because our school is going to play this piece and I'm going to have a shot at some solos.

[taylorrenee96]

@CRAZYMEXICAN212 is this pablo?? lol

[Gammer901]

Good times, had fun playing this tune. I was in Poteet Band in '05 to '09.

[bochicabowow]

the nebraska allstate band did this song this year. awesome!

[suien07]

oh my goodness i was there at the concert finally i found it!!

i was there when i heard them play it!!!

i fell in love with that song and the other songs they played but this one and another called shadow rituals!!

i still have the green book they had for a program

awesome conert and song!!!!!!

love the sax and english horn!!

[cruelsmurf]

wow this was really good but i cant decide if its better than how OMEA all state played it... they're both awesome and thats all that matters =-)

[grecianxpiratex07]

I heard Plano East play this at their UIL preformance yesterday. they rocked!!! hahaha.

this is really good, too. :)

[XxPrOmOnGoOsExX]

My fav part is at 1:08 when the sax makes that one note and it sounds SO cool. Also love the english horn solo

[phstrmpt2108]

yeah man. if i recall macky said its the best he has heard at that point in time

[Zoro4rk]

@XxPrOmOnGoOsExX pitch bend..? lol

[ThaJSter14]

@XxPrOmOnGoOsExX is that just a sax lip bending?

[snowhunter2112]

nah. trumpet's the way to go :)

[phstrmpt2108]

agreed

[hauler1231]

@snowhunter2112 indeed :D i play trumpet, and our band did this. i was the only one on first part, and i think i did a great job. I'm from Commerce, TX :D

[theepicbeast]

ha, saxophones are better.

[acfcutie]

I am going to be playing this in my bands next concert. I am a flute, we hardly play but i like this song.

[NinjaBlade1]

I think this is a great piece and this honor band totally pwns! My select band is playing this song this year haha its so fun :D

[speedybh4]

this is such a sweet song. we just started to actually read it a bit yesterday but today we listened to the recording during band and then tried playing it. it's so sweet. i'm excited.

haha and to phstrmpt2108, go trumpets!

[sgtdanger]

Awesome. Grats to the eng horn player too. I loved it. My highschool is just starting to read it and we all agree you have one of the greatest orchestral versions other than the original with just strings and the djembe. Trumpets rule. :P

[phstrmpt2108]

ha yuh go trumpets!! and thanks for all the comments :)

[mexicankid140]

Im likin the sax... JVIartin

[egxjuggernaut]

god i wish i had our recording of this cause it was pretty bad ass even for our symphonic band at our high school. but man i just for some reason dont like the trombone thing in the middle when its the part with the glisses down in the lower octive... that about it besides the ballance between the trumpets and everything else.... pretty good

[mkmtrumpeter]

Gotta agree with spikgame on this one... I played this piece with my high school band two years ago, and Mr. Mackey told us we, and this is a direct quote that make my director crack up, "totally kicked ass" at it, and so I think I have every right to say this this was very well performed. This is worthy of the national stage, really. Has this band ever auditioned for Bands of America? I went twice with my high school... it's a great experience ;)

[phstrmpt2108]

thanks!

[spikgame]

I don't know what either of you two haters are talking about. I think that this recording is incredible.

[iwearbigshoes]

When a band has success like Poteet does, it is inevitable that there will be many people out there who will put hate comments (mostly out of jealousy) on anything they do. They will sit there find everything they can find wrong about a performance or a song. So people from Poteet I urge you to ignore some poeple's immature comments and just let them feel bad about themselves.

[thiofenris]

wow, you all just saved me a ton of money: i dont have to buy ambien anymore. You all took it so slowly! It lacked any hint of pop or zest, though i applaud your solo trombone player. And i'll give you that your band has good...er, balance, but even in a piece as exhilarating as this, the only thing that kept me awake was that horror that might have been called a saxaphone entrance. A quick note, it should NOT resemble the deathcries of a dismembered farm-animal. That was sheet music holocaust

[phstrmpt2108]

so don't waste your time sending me anything cuz i honestly don't care who can play one song better, i enjoyed my back to back uil marching championships and tmea state honor band. but thats just me =]

[phstrmpt2108]

congrats it's just a song. i honestly don't even care any more i just graduated so i have nothing to compete for but if your going to diss us and saying we are bad then your wrong cuz we were the recording for his site if not the current recording of his site, obviously he loved it too right, he put it on his website, hes a professional so therefore both of our bands our good besides i posted this video 4 months ago a lot can change in 4 months you do know from time to time he switches them up

[maverickgirl04]

Go to Mackey's website. Obviously he LOVED it. We're his recording for Strange Humors. I doubt we sucked. HE'S a professional. HE wrote the music. HE said we were amazing AND we're on his website.

Sorry- but that doesn't sound like "sucking".

[themormonator]

this is probably the worst recording of this piece i have ever heard i almost puked.

[phstrmpt2108]

wow, go ask mr. mackey if he thinks so cuz obviously he loved the way we played it cuz we're his default recording for the website.

send me a link to someone that plays it better..

[phstrmpt2108]

maybe there is a reason you in color guard=]

[themormonator]

wow your smart im not in color guard. i just go to parties with ppl that are. and i'd say when i get a copy of me senior years comp Cd i'll show you a band that can play it better.

[bermudababe07]

i love this piece! we just started it at my high school and i love it! as a trumpet player, i love all of the loud and flutter tonguing parts! its just a fun piece!

[cwpinkie3]

WOW!!! I am a huge fan of this song and you guys did awesome!! We are playing this at Klein collins in Spring, TX but your band sounded amazing. Maybe even better than Baylor? :)

[destotheman09]

i played this song at All-Region in Coppel this year too...its fun to play
