Machu Picchu - CBDA All State Concert Band 2010

[aeroplano111]

I played this piece last year in our high school's wind ensemble (euphonium), and it's awesome. And this conductor conducts like a boss.

[RianTheSpartan]

Who cares if it's faster?? This is soooo much better than the professional recordings I've heard.

[xxsnickerdoodlefairy]

you guys took it so fast .__. i think i personally like it slower but still awesome job

[twilight9090]

this is friggin riduculous, especially the alto sax part

[SaxPlayers13]

@twilight9090 It's crazy!!!!!!! We are doing this for honor band socal

[Shimmar15]

@SaxPlayers13 Good luck to you~

[JJBRMusic]

[shoeprich2012]

[shoeprich2012]

@JJBRMusic haha. Whats up? This piece is going to be amazing!

[JJBRMusic]

@shoeprich2012 Haha, it's going good, :P btw, who are you? xD;;

[shoeprich2012]

@JJBRMusic 1st trombone. You know me

[JJBRMusic]

@shoeprich2012 Steven? xD taking stabs atm, :P

[shoeprich2012]

@JJBRMusic yep. Haha.

[Shimmar15]

@shoeprich2012 You play 1st trombone? awesome~ I play 2nd part; third chair. But I've been allowed to play parts of this wonderful song because I'm the only trombone able to hit those high notes and be in tune. XD We'll be performing this at a college in Febuary; joint concernt. :3

[shoeprich2012]

@Shimmar15 Yeah the end part is really fun. A flats can be tough at the end of a long rehearsal! Good luck.

[Shimmar15]

@shoeprich2012 Particularly after playing two other high level songs; Linconshire Posey and White Rose March. We're playing those two, as well as Machu Piccu, at Spring Festival. XD

[Shimmar15]

Oh wow... They sound great. My high school band will be playing this for Festival. I love this piece...

[altoboy]

missing trumpet solo at 4:30?

[altoboy]

the tempo is abit too.... fast

[dotsed]

WHY DO PEOPLE CALL 6:47 THE HORN PART. euphoniums are so underrated. :(

[daniel6ferra]

@dotsed prbably cuz it is a horn part!! I HAVE SHEET MUSIC AYYEEE!!!

[dotsed]

@daniel6ferra its a eupho part too. i played this -.-

[Shimmar15]

@dotsed Probably because the F horns are louder; so they're heard over the Euphoniums, and not everyone is able to make out the difference between horn and euphonum parts.

[CheyenneAh21]

freaking epic horn part. 6:47 <3



[MeegMaster]

Very impressive, even at an All-State band level.

[ItsVikkiEveryone]

5:22 - 6:10 beautiful! 6:47 - 6:57 epic.

[idiotmuffin]

the part at 6:47 kinda reminds me of mulan.

[Victrevor2]

@samelnicomposer There were 2 Flugelhorns.

[kml408]

Wow, took out the 1st trumpet lick at 04:15. This is supposed to be an all-state band! You can't take out parts, especially an exposed solo part. Very disappointed in whoever was 1st chair trumpet.

[MiyokoxClarinetti]

@kml408 I was in this group, and I was so annoyed when they took out the trumpet solo...it made the transition so awkward :(

[yos313]

@MiyokoxClarinetti Since you were in this group can you tell me who the conductor was?

[MiyokoxClarinetti]

@yos313 Dr. Boonshaft

[11heck11]

@kml408 I know me too!! Very disappointing. We're playing this song for contest and we hardly rehearse because we are playing alot more difficult music including Childrens March and the Enigma Variations. Our 1st chair trumpet player missed the TMEA All-State Band by like three chairs and he can play it the solo the second time we rehearsed it! Oh well luckily hes only a junior so theres always next year.

[Victrevor2]

@11heck11 You guys have to understand that it wasn't the trumpet players fault at all. The conductor was the one that cut it out. Everyone knows that any trumpet player in an all state band is perfectly capable of playing that part.

[11heck11]

@Victrevor2 If they were all capable of playing it then why didn't any of them?

[Victrevor2]

@11heck11 Because like I just said, the conductor cut the part out.

[11heck11]

@Victrevor2 Well that sucks. It's a badass part too

[JOchoa4]

@11heck11 Are you from DV?

lmao

[11heck11]

@JOchoa4 haha yeah.

[BbSoprano]

best band out of all three... though intonation needs some work
