WE DID THIS LAST YEAR! Yall are like dragging some in the beggining and middle. i played bass clarinet so im like SUPER BASS! but what ever. okay now like before the woodwinds start at 60, tubas and bass line needed to bring the E flat it mightve not be a E flat for you but for me it was a E flat so like....what ever out more, like ALOT thats like the most beast part, aside from like the volcano pat and end.
Our 7/8th grade band (Callanan Middle School, Des Moines) did this piece tonight and it gave me chills. I closed my eyes and you could truly hear and feel the mountain...the only limits our children truly have are the ones we put on them ourselves.
I played this my 8th grade year with the high school band, I was playing alto saxthen, but now I play Bari sax, it's songs like this that make me wnat to go back to Alto.
omg i love this song. i just got back from band camp and this is one of the pieces we played. so far its one of my fav. pieces and the this band played it extremely well. i was really impressed. good job guys!
I played this my 8th grade year and we were amazing. But we didn't have any Oboes or low reeds other than a Bass Clarinet (She was a beast with that thing) i was a first Clarinet and so far it's been my favorite piece. But, i'm only in th grade now. I've only been playing for 3 years... But that's a lot of music. Band Camp... All Region... Solo and Ensamble.... stuff like that. :]
These kids are in Middle School, Where I come from middle school is only 6th and 7th grade what's the years for middle school at your school, and when did the students start band.
@QuackingChicken3 At Miller, the grade range is 6th grade to 8th grade but the members of the Advanced Band are in 7th or 8th grade. Some students started in 6th grade, while others started earlier.
my advanced band what we call symphonic or others call honors band whichever you want to call this is playing this for our spring concert soonnnn :)) we just started it and were really good if i do say so my self lol
What memories -- I remember playing this piece when I was in middle school -- and that was a good twenty years ago! If my memory serves me correctly (if it can serve ANY 30-year old correctly) I distinctly remember four parts: I. Vistas, II. Cataclysm, III. Void and IV. Renewal.
I'm Sure there were other sections but hey, it's been twenty years. Thanks for the trip down memory lane!
I remember playing this in 7th grade. I loved it so much I just kept my flute piece. Im a senior in highschool now and I relieaze how much im going to miss band after im gone.
Very good!! I played this when i was in 8th grade for festival i usually played bass clarinet...but i played timpani at the festival..this is a very great song. Good job Flute and Clarinet on the solo..
wow i have to say this is amazing my concert band played this last year i loved the coda so much i memorized it!!! lol are band teacher made us play the rhythm from 1:48 every time we warmed- scales and everything
I' m playing this for Massie hall concert with my school and other schools I play clarinet though my main instrument is the piano. this is a nice tune!
btw the tubas main part is at about 1:50 the double beat that comes in every so often with the timpani

The symbal is waaaaay too loud, that kid is hitting it much too hard. It's not supposed to drown out the rest of the band.
