Bass clarinet is right on lol. So is the woodblock for the most part. And the saxes aren't really loud.. Wow. Amazing... Because we have ten of them and only four flutes in my band. Yeah you can guess how that worked. Oh and I'd like to point out the clarinet squeak :)
I'm ashamed to proudly say I play trumpet listening to this. My high school played this song and our trumpet section was incredible. All 1's at district festival. The trumpets here just sound like they've been hit in the stomach and the air has been forced out of the mouthpiece, Granted, this is a grade 5? Maybe everyone wasn't ready.
really good job, the trumpets could use a bit of work...the trumpets in my band are AMAZING! well we have 13 of them haha...but how many alto saxophones are there? i couldn't really here them like at all
I played in a Junior clinic band today, and David R. Holsinger was actually my director which was pretty cool. Not kidding... he works at Lee University in Tennessee which is were i played :) blue band :D
Very nice. Except for one blatty trumpet sticking out in the middle of the song, tuning, and blending issues, you guys were very good. We played this song last year for wind ensemble too.
@Ks300615 i play tenor and i remember in 9th grade when this was so fun to play yet at the same time i was out of breath by the end cause i was the only one. tenor is probably one of the hardest to hear in a band just cause its in the middle of everyone else and it really doesn't project well. however blasting always helps!
i love this song. i play obe in band and i sit and do nothing alot but i still like this one. (: but this song is nothing compared to Hazos songs Exultate and Ride. lol
Cudos to you guys for actually playing up to tempo. We had to slow it down a few notches for our own performance. This was one of the first pieces I had to learn on the bassoon. That was two years ago and is still by far the coolest piece I've ever played. SO fun to play.
I think it might be their tone; some parts they sound pretty muffled. But if that's not it then that's probably the 2nd and 4th horn you're hearing...or the low brass. But the horns are in the right octave
Needs more french horn in the begining (ima alto sax player so im not biased) we just got this a couple days ago it sounds amazing and were an eighth grade band. were also playing incidental suite which is a bit harder than this.
omqq!!!! ii luved diiz sonq soooo muchh.....ma skool playyed nd iit sounded jus like iit!!!.........ii thiink diiz iiz myy alltyme favoriite sonq ever that we played in band!!!!!
I think it sounds cooler if you start playing that fast at the end, and start off slower at the beginning. Also, some really cool parts that I barely heard needed to be brought out more. Leaving out the tempo issues, and missed notes, I would say that this was a decent recording.
I played this my junior year in concert band and my senior year in marching band. This was also the piece for auditioning for drum major. Unfortunately out of 3 people that auditioned I came in 2nd. Overall great song. Alittle challenging but not too hard.
It's got some pitch problems and you seem to fall apart at a few parts. You have AMAZING horns for them to play that loud! You could use more dynamic power. Not that I don't think it is not good. Just so used to playing it and I memorized the whole thing.
The timpani part is ridiculous. I have three measures to re-tune two timpani at a 160 tempo. Also I'm supposed to play a low F, a G flat, A flat, and B flat during the ending section, and our high timpani's lowest note is a D. This is my first semester in band. Shouldn't have volunteered for timpani...
I see this video/music was put on here almost two years ago, but this is a darn good band! I am playing 3rd trombone with the Indiana University at South Bend Symphonic Band and this is on our next concert. I am using this recording to rehearse at home. Well done!
i just played this yesterday. by far one of the best songs i have ever played (btw: it was a district festival in VT. if you havn't participated in one and have the chance to do it: DO IT! funnest music expiriance you will ever have
We are playing this too...St. Johns High School...I really enjoy this...I play flute. it is my second favorite of the 3 we are playing....the first is Cajun Folf Songs...((:
Ha I love this song its so fun to play! We're working on this for concert band. I play 1st trombone. my band director is actually friends with Holsinger and Holsinger is going to do our marching band song for us. an original, It's going to be EPIC!!
Though I will say, one thing I heard for this band is timing. It's a very rhythmic piece so timing has to be perfect. I also hear so tuning and even some people (trumpets really) coming out of the texture, including articulation. You can tell around 2:12 to 2:16ish then also the trumpet a little after.
Nice otherwise! I really liked you horn! This piece was written for strong french horns! Well done!
great job our honor band played this last year at our festival and concerts and i played piccolo it was a lot of fun.we got a plus 1 on this piece but you guys did great.
You got that right chaseWG, our band is playing this too but we only have like 40 people and our bass/low voice section is small. Our band director is very ambitious
I am in wind ensemble and it sounds so much better when we play it! You need to teach your guys how to stay together and do not play out of comfort. The wrong parts are speaking in the wrong places
our band is playing this song this year and it is so much fun. i play the baritone and its not often that we get songs with heavy low brass stuff but the part at about 4 mins the baritones do a great job at the eight note slurs. i know i have problems with it cause of how high it is in our register but this song is amazing
Our band is playing this song for a festival. I play 3 and 4 Horn, and their missed notes make me cringe. at 1:00 the percussion sounded off, though around 2:53 is my favorite part AND THEY ROCKED IT!
Our Band is playing this for Adjudication and it is amazingly hard. I play bells and its all rest and to count the time changes and then getting confused on up beats it is really a piece of work. Its not a middle school piece.
The trombones are off at times. Also the horns are not together. The flutes are off at times and so are the bells big time. Our band played this last year in the atlantic band festival and we won. The adjudicator said that we were by far one of the best bands that he've heard for our age. It was a a great performance that we pulled off. This performance, given the difficulty of the piece was done quite well, but it does need work. I love the cowbell.I would also suggest mutes for the horns.
it is supposed to be played that fast the song is about a little baby that keeps falling and falling when she is trying to walk... it supposed to be frantic. the poor baby couldnt do it and was getting frustrated. they she began having a fit. so yeah. get it right. the BIG timpani things... are the FALLS.
the timpani is supposed to be like that...could be louder in some parts....i play timpani in the song and i do well i think and the solos could be louder at the end of the crescendos
i'm playing this song for my lincon trail music festival which is in 2 weeks and i have it down perfect (i'm in 9th grade playing first trumpet lol and i'm better than the seniors and its my 3rd year even playing haha)
This has got to be my favorite piece that we play in band at my school. We take it at a slower tempo, though. I like how Holsinger wrote it for his daughter.
we played it in middle school too but i play the flute so it was easier. But it's really hard to count when you're that young. It's really good practice though.
haha my band is playing this too, we preform in 3 weeks ot 2 weeks i forgot, ur band isnt bad, i think ur precusion was draggin a little but other then that not too bad, noticed some minor mistakes
mg i love this song. we played this song last year just a little bit. see this is high school music and we were playin it in middle school of course we didnt get to the full tempo but we got fast enough for us. i thought we played it ok nice video or should i say picture>LOL
We are playing this in Symphonic Band. My band teacher, Mrs. Cox, is going crazy about this song but more about Dance of the Jesters. I hope that she doesn't do down the line testing. I really like this song and today, we actually played the whole thing through without her stopping us because of something. We're taking this song to festival along with D. of the Jesters. Everyone thinks we're crazy for playing both these songs together. well, wish us luck :)
I hate trumpets they're, too loud, we should melt them all down and sell them for scrap.

The adjudicator said that we were by far one of the best bands that he've heard for our age. It was a a great performance that we pulled off. This performance, given the difficulty of the piece was done quite well, but it does need work. I love the cowbell.I would also suggest mutes for the horns.

it is supposed to be played that fast the song is about a little baby that keeps falling and falling when she is trying to walk... it supposed to be frantic. the poor baby couldnt do it and was getting frustrated. they she began having a fit. so yeah. get it right. the BIG timpani things... are the FALLS.

you cant hear the the chimes and the timpani is way too loud and theres some one of xylophone that doesnt know what theyre doing.
but unlike others i do like the tempo

the timpani is supposed to be like that...could be louder in some parts....i play timpani in the song and i do well i think and the solos could be louder at the end of the crescendos

i played flute with this in eighth grade... erg, epic fail. for one, we went about half as fast and it was kinda... failure.
it sounds so much better in this one

we played this at my high school as well, and our director told us that at 160 bpm it's frantic...it sounds a whole lot better at around 144 bpm

This has got to be my favorite piece that we play in band at my school. We take it at a slower tempo, though. I like how Holsinger wrote it for his daughter.

1st trumpet needs to be much stonger on the high notes, but overall not a bad rendition of the piece.

we played it in middle school too but i play the flute so it was easier. But it's really hard to count when you're that young. It's really good practice though.

We are playing this in Symphonic Band. My band teacher, Mrs. Cox, is going crazy about this song but more about Dance of the Jesters. I hope that she doesn't do down the line testing. I really like this song and today, we actually played the whole thing through without her stopping us because of something. We're taking this song to festival along with D. of the Jesters. Everyone thinks we're crazy for playing both these songs together. well, wish us luck :)
