I cannot count how many times I've wanted to do that as a Former Trombone player when the director praises the trumpets, even if they're 5 measures off, and bashes the low brass for "screwing up the song". Arrogant band directors that can't see anything wrong with their main instrument are why I quit
@LightningMan117 Trumpets are not the main sound it's also the trombone or tuba but i know what you mean but i'm a trumpet player and my band director is a trombone player:P
Haha , i plaay trombonne :D & Neeedlesss to saay , thiis is whaat we tallk abouut . & soo they jusss' carrry on plaaying when he got shot ? . . We'd do the saame .
@RitvarLegend Don't you mean south Africa? It says Uganda in your profile, I'm from Mexico and if you did this the cops will take your money, corrupt cops.
@stevenhamlin1000 It's their own creative little addition to the piece. I've played this song on numerous occasions and this is the first time I've seen something like this for this particular piece. :)
i love this! but i've got to admit when i was watching this and he shot him i was like wth?! and the band kept playing?!?! i kinda had that wth just happened look on my face lol..great song and great video :)
you know i actually thought someone in the audience screamed. never fails. nice work :) i also agree that its pointless to have a director. because i am one of those who doesn't look at the director lol!.
oh wait look he's twiching! oh never mind its just one of theflutes checking if he is dead... and it seems she was wrong...well they still have next year!
Haha i don't mean anything insulting at all for those people who disagree (but i'm probably going to get cussed at anyway), but conductors are pretty necessary! Not many people like to agree on the tempo, and how can you tell about the balance when someone isn't listening?
@mohokoia First off, before you every try to utter another word, learn how to speak and type with proper grammar. No one will ever take you seriously. I know I can't. Take the time to type with proper form and then maybe others will listen to what you have to say. Also, if you do not like a video, there is a simple solution. See that little 'x' on the top right of your screen? Click it, get off your chair, and go outside and do something productive with your life.
That was actually pretty good
