Black Forest Overture by Michael Sweeney

[isaacmb12]

i love this song we will be playing it in great America

[SnipeShotgunStab]

they need to the percussion to play louder

[willike37]

@SnipeShotgunStab here's the thing, the only part that actually NEEDS to be louder is the bells. their part is drowned out by the flutes though because through most of the song it's the same part only higher. i know this cuz i play bells on this at school

[Kyhbaird]

Playing this in my gr.8 band class on the Bass :D

[UnacceptableLanguage]

playing this at concert in 3 hrs :)

[littlesahararider08]

im a soloist clarinet in my band class. i also play the alto saxaphone. this is one of my favorite band pieces since Model Song and Dance.

[EpicSalamander]

@littlesahararider08 Yeah, for beginners, this is a good piece of music in my opinion.

[hello1261803]

1st clarinet solo woooo 23measure ^o^

[EpicSalamander]

@hello1261803 Hmm.... I thought it was a soli. :/

[mbvolleylove7]

OMG! I love that song! Were playing that in band and now I have something so I can play along with it.

[EpicSalamander]

@mbvolleylove7 Oh good to hear :)

[VdpkJessica]

@WhiteSwaggs: I'm playing drums for this part and im is 7th grade too! <3 this song, but i like Aztec Fire better, this is too easy.

[MCLevel16]

EpicSalamander - have you listened to High water mark: the third day? It sounds a lot like this, and I think it even has the same composer....

[LaxAttax7]

i play bari horn and this song is sooo epic. i agree it is easy, but i have a solo and its really fun to play and great for intermediate players

[themetalmagicgeek]

i play euphonium on this song 

[oceanathlete11]

im first chair clarinet and this song is sooo easy but the other clarinets keep messing up

[AnnieCampEAST]

[SonicandDBZgeek13]

[tracyyangrocks]

the beginning sounded kinda one of the songs of the anime called sailor moon.... o.o

[ashriver7710]

I play the alto saxophone .u. Though this is way to easy, our trumpets keep on messing up...

Because they can't count to 3 apparently... oh well, great song

[EpicSalamander]

@ashriver7710 Yeah, I would agree that this song is really too easy, and 'wow' to those trumpet players... I have some that can't even play in cut-time... -_-

[tidbitrulz]

[iLoveCake1201]

Playing this song in symphonic band. Totally reminds me of a song from Super Smash Bros. Melee

[EpicSalamander]

@iLoveCake1201 Really? Which one? I haven't played that game in such a while XD

[iLoveCake1201]

@EpicSalamander The one with the floating boat thing, I think. XD

[GamecubeFan2]

@iLoveCake1201 good comment buddy!

[xXMapleVodkaXx]

Playing it in 7th grade. Reminds me of every RPG game I've ever played.

[ThePeacewave]

Loved this piece. Even though its an easy piece, I justed loved the story in the piece and the intensity. I miss playing it. Sooo fun! -.-

[hayhayhayWGMS]

we just got a new band teacher she doesnt realize we have been playing songs like a fifth of beethoven and she gave us this song :P you play harder songs this is just too easy

[EpicSalamander]

@hayhayhayWGMS Yeah, in 6th grade for me it was just right, but me being a freshman in high school, I'm doing much harder stuff now in symphonic band.

[iloveoo2sj]

i played this last year in 6th grade band and played the trumpet solo. it was soooooooo hard but i loved the applause that i got from my band and the audience.

[EpicSalamander]

@iloveoo2sj Yeah, I first played it in 6th grade too.... back then it was kinda hard for me to pull off, me being the 1st clarinet player... but by 7th it was a piece of cake!

Thanks for the feedback!

[iloveoo2sj]

@EpicSalamander nice! i could play it now simply...

[iloveoo2sj]
