Fire Dance-David Shaffer

[shummabuns]

I loveeeeee this song its awesome I'm gonna perform it too I can't wait

[MrChadb73]

this is good speed



[HonorsBandRules]

@TheKatieebug You do realize that your criticizing a performance that took place 3 years ago right?

[TheKatieebug]

I'm sorry but you guys played this FARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR Undertempo. Played it at full swing and nailed straight 1's in regionals. Brass is very full and clean though. Your flutes might need a lil better tuning =D

[23Nellie1]

We're getting this song today in sixth-eighth grade band.....so excited because the percussion is amazing.....:)

[KroMcLovinFaSho]

Haha, my college band is playing this. Talk about being a big fish in a small pond.

[magmaggirlie123o]

the 8th graders at my school are playing this

[yoshikatie1]

Wow, at first I thought this was a professional recording. My middle school honors band (i play clarinet) is doing this song for concert festival....we've gotten straight 1's for 5 years now. But bravo to your band! That was amazing...

[Thehair2610]

love this song on the trumpet

[deathmelody606]

I'm playing this song in band. I'm playing tenor, and it sounds cool.

[hisboo910815]

i play dis



[HonorsBandRules]

@amusicianwithadream Finally someone understands! Thank you good sir

[amusicianwithadream]

This song can be played a variety of tempos. It doesn't have to be fast. It just has to capture the song's essence, College taught me that.

[cynder167]

My band is playing this at a high school, the other school will be so jelly >:D

[HonorsBandRules]

@moonstoneblood Cool story bro, why don't you publish it and sell it to someone who gives a fuck

[moonstoneblood]

@HonorsBandRules i did and got $100 yeyah

[moonstoneblood]

hey everyone out there i am in 5th grade and i can play this song better than this band

[midgetwerewolf]

@moonstoneblood

Shut up already! We get it, you're boasting douche. Stop talking about how much better than everyone you are, or one day someone is going to come along and kick your ass.

[KroMcLovinFaSho]

Tempo is dragging!

[thehobo00]

Love this song. Sucks that our percussion isn't committed though.

[RryfroTheHedgehog]

@thehobo00 ....prep up your percussion! In our band, the percussion is a little to committed...and I am a part of that commitment

[thehobo00]

@RryfroTheHedgehog lol good for you our percussion just has no inspiration which is a bit pitiful... i wanna know how to give them a reason to want to play

[ALNyland]

my band is playing this on Friday. We sound not this good, but we sound pretty good.

[CircleCircleDotDot9]

im playing this for my concert and i play flute which is awesome in this song because u get alot of trills

[ALNyland]

@CircleCircleDotDot9 I am on Clarinet and I have pretty much the same trills. Do you like the song?

[midnightraven954]

oh and im on tenor saxophone (the only one)

[ALNyland]

@midnightraven954 We don't even have a tenor sax. We have two alto sax's though.

[midnightraven954]

@ALNyland we have 4altos one tenor and 1 Barisax

[midnightraven954]

[Lautnerbubbles]

i listened to another video and it was wayy faster than this, but im in band(flute,7th grade,3rd chair) and were playing it at this tempo

[IndianaTC]

Played in 7th grade, playing again in 8th. Love it still! Snare FTW.

[Peiniar]

[75odstclan]

[tayreed16]

[11devilchild]

i just played this this year and i loved playing the bass drum

[beendiesel34]

Def remember back to 8th Grade Baritone sax days i was the only low sounding instrument this song was mines

[bignintendog]

Im learning this song in Advanced Band in middle school and I already love it!

[Bandontherun18]

Good recording...much too slow though I must say. I played this in 8th grade...one of my favorite measures of any music I've ever played are in this song (2:00-2:38). I love band!!!

[BuZtA430]

Slow... Much too slow and the brass was not loud enough, though great song.

[wkozaa123]

@BuZtA430 i think its the melody thats too quiet..... MELODY IS SUPPOSED TO BE LOUD.

[Reminiscable]

Did we really sound this good?

[RyuzakiLawliet1255]

I'm playing this now, I'm in 7th grade and I've got a concert a week from now!!!

[bramlettwill]

@RyuzakiLawliet1255 TRUMPET???

[xDeltaX7]

I was playing this in my 6th grade All-County before. This was my favorite we played by a long shot!

[xTurtlesrulex]

I played this 4 years ago and I used to think that the flute part was hell...but now that I think about it I really enjoyed playing this song

[beowulf662]

Great job my middle school band played this, I was on the Tom-Toms it it sounded great!

[phoenixman95]

Great Sound! David Shaffer is the king of writing low brass parts.. :)

[animalEm08]

Kinda slow....actually lots slow....but good!

[phoenixman95]

@animalEm08 Hey, doesn't it sound like it spends up for a moment around 0:43 !?

[superturboknight]

@animalEm08 well there are slow parts because thats when the flutes come in and its sounds really bueatiful when they do

[cartman128512]

this has got to be the best song my middle school band has ever played back in 8th grade. well im in 9th, so not too long ago, but i miss it...

[dragonqueen123456789]

we played it like 10 times faster my 6th grade year and had to have it memorized by my 7th grade year and i played both flute and tuba for this song

[ShufflerGames]

played this in 7th grade, but it was much faster.

[AnimeNightSAKURA]

[syahirSQRT2]

there's one school where i learn, and the school has it's own band. i'd heard them played "fire dance" before, and since then i can't stop listening to this music... i'm so lucky that i can search for a video of a band playing this music :)

[Mariah010100]

I played this in band i loved it :D

[justindyck]

Wow... major flashbacks to Grade 7... which was 8 years ago already! :O

[artacademybasketball]

[Matthill121]

Just played this at a concert. I was the timpanist. I love this song ^^

[TheFatkid145]

[hmorg123]

[wopmandoo]

@hmorg123 DM sutherland lol?

[TheCrazyDog1234]

We played this song in my school's band! I did the toms and the second suspended cymbal part :D

[oscieonfire]

@TheCrazyDog1234 i did the timpani it was from 7th grade but since we all were going to hs we got it back out in 8th grade and played it a couple times to bring back memories :)

[Speedy10001001]

I just played this in my concert last Monday!

[chickenyfood123]

My band played this in concert last thursday, and it sounded exactly like this I swear!

[punkfairy100]

This sounds really good. I thought it was the actual recording for the song~~ You guys are amazing.

[GreatGabite]

my band is playing this and im in 8th grade

[QuagZeldaFan]

The flutes in my band suck, you can never hear them, except for when they're the only ones playing. This is great, but some things sound too soft.

[Avenger33789]

my 9th grade band is playing this lol

[sinclairbg]

LOVE THIS SONG BRINGS BACK ALL THE GOOD MEMORIES!(:

[SoccerChickz27]

im in 5th grade and my band is playing this

[chickenyfood123]

@SoccerChickz27 Oh woww! You must have a really good band

[caycaycat]

my band played this this year it sounded amazing

[watsupcomments88]

i love this! i have to print out a copy of this and give it to my band director! and by the way, it sounds like the band people are playing it at the perfect speed, and who would care anyways? it still sounds good right? i think so! :D

[SkyWand22]

Love playing this song during band class! We rock it all the time. Tomorrow is the concert and we're playing it. :D

[sorahauk]

too slow.

[MrSuperbrad20]

i play trombone and baritone and im 12!

[TheMamadouAmadou]

Our middle school band is actually playing this in a concert tonite. David Shaffer is directing it. Go tenor sax!

[Brettwade444]

I played this song as a French horn and it's surprisingly tough

[Kodiackk8]

@Brettwade444 yup! i play the french horn too :D

[JohnLification]

@Cleaverxgirl I'm not trying to barge in, but I'm kind of like you, but the opposite. I play bari sax, but I'm pretty bad at the brass instruments

[Clanky159]

I love this song! my band is going to do this and our concert is only in a month... We really all dislike our director but he is amazing and we will be fine by the concert!

[EmotiveEmblem]

[Tanvir949]

[KEELOP14]

my grade eight honor band did this!!!2011SJBSouth or Saskacthewan Junior Honor Band South 2011

[Tanvir949]

i also thought that this was a recording until i read the description saying that it was done by a high school band

this was very well done by the band

do any of you guys know where i can find the song The Black Pearl from the POC i need the recording so i know what the song really sounds like

[Tanvir949]

i like this song

it has a nice tempo

we have to play this song at RCMS for a concert

hope we can play it as well as this

[Kulopto]

at first I thought this was played from a recording...

then I read the description. NICELY DONE.

[CleaverxGirl]

We're playing this year. Our tempo is a tad bit faster than this. I'm the only tuba (: Proud~

[Clanky159]

@CleaverxGirl My band is doing it too!!! I am the bass clarinet so our parts are very similar! :)

[CleaverxGirl]

@Clanky159 Yes, they are! I'd like to play Bass Cl. but I've never been able to play woodwinds. I'm all brass lipped .lol

[ThirstySTM17]

this is the correct tempo it can be faster but this is the correct paste were playing it in band and this is the speed that our director said its supposed to be played at

[ccloveshorses]

perfect tempo just the speed i played it it was my fav. song i played all year

[Missdrummergirl2015]

[ILOVEMICKY24]

[mrfancysauce15210]

this is some amazing playing for 8th and 7th graders, i must say. there was superb tone quality, and excellent dynamics. i play in a highschool band, and none of us could play the well, collectively. the speed you played it at the perfect time, not too fast for the piece. i say, great job!

[TheRobotchicken2]

@mrfancysauce15210 ya we are playing this song in my band we sound just like this we are 8th

[l0veeGaaMee4]

[MsIsitreally]

[gerry99100]

[MsGrindFreak]

[ShadowTailsfan86]

Nice job, i had to play this last March at my 8th grade concert (I played the trombone)

[IAboutToEatCha]

i feel so horrible D: we sight read this today during band, [im a seventh grader] and it sounded nothing like this.. e___o'' -twitch twitch.- good job on it though, i don't see what the speed problem is, it seems fine to me ^__^ better then ours. for sure. [x

[CleaverxGirl]

We're playing this for the Spring concert. We used it in a marching band show 5 years ago. I <3 it. I play the tuba!

[Deadzme]

my schools soon to play this its a good song your band did great

[rikafurudesan]

We played faster because of our band teacher Mr.Hurst but I like this way sounds way better HonorsBandRules and what instrument do u play

[TTR6391]

I also played this in middle school! When I got to high school, most of the older kids had played it too, and it was one of those songs that really brought us together . You guys sounded awesome and this performance def. brings back good memories.

[mishavonnaxlovelace]

I remember playing this back in middle school! I had so much fun playing that first alto part, although I doubt we played as well as your band here. Amazing balance, although it could use a little more energy and vigor. Thanks for posting and bringing back fond memories.

[zackattack513513]

i hate my band director now because i made honor band on timpani and 3rd chair snare... so now since i picked timpani all i play is timpani in class... he doesn't even realize i made snare!!!

[JonRIPSammy13]

it seems good other than it's played faster but only thing I don't hear I guess it might just be me is the toms in the percussion but other than that its fine I know our band can do better but this is good that's all I would have to say

[LCG397]

i thought this was the actual professional recording until i read the info box! pretty good!!!

[Omochikaeriinow]

WIN



[gamers209]

I like it slower, it sounds more mysterious that way. Those who have this try it that way as it kinda sounds like a LoZ song

[goslash111]

You guys sound pretty decent I would love to hear our bands to play agaist each other

[DolphinSensASIAN6464]

@MrJERKMODE i ment which school

[DolphinSensASIAN6464]

[iiShelbey]

[MrJERKMODE]

[kungfusushi]

[theJazzy0506]

I'm going to play this song in my concert in December.!![:

[mikejunk1966]

[dragonqueen123456789]

[gerry99100]

@dragonqueen123456789 they need a contra clarinet.

[kupo871]

Needs more cow bell......
