Godzilla Eats Las Vegas Part I

[AuraHero]

Okay, where the hell did you find a giant inflatable Godzilla?

[Sleyah]

Played this my freshmen year in Wind Ensemble. One of our french horn player shad the most hilarious dog bark. Everything that is epic about band is in this piece.

[knhorsegirl]

Haha al the bands of my school are combining to play this piece :)

[TFlo1213]

Try marching to it....that's...interesting lol.

[wongedc]

Clear proof that music = fun.

[mike2good4u]

[csanders56]

We played this song this year at my school. Lemme tell ya, it was INTENSE!

[eliseeee690]

the wind symphony at my school is playing this next year, i cant wait!

[KatchaTheVeganator]

Wind Ensemble and Concert Band are playing this AMAZING piece at my school :) FANTASTIC!

[stevegmartin]

Interesting comments. I particularly enjoy how you bash the piece (and performance??) and then proceed to ask what the score calls for. Ignorance is bliss, eh?

[clarenceandbilly]

sound effects being voices...

were're playing it, and stuff written everywhere for people to make different noises! It awesome and actually more fun than bach again and again (not that im dissing bach!)

[organboi]

why is there a screen there? please don't tell me the score calls for a visual.

[yoyoyoeggsyo]

the score calls for a visual.

[biscuitninja]

that is some seriously hard music... especially when marching!

[ClanestineK]

My high school band is playing this :D

[musicalme22]

Mine, too!! We are so excited!

[maXairianMike]

Our wind ensemble at Indiana Wesleyan Univ. is doing this piece this year, and we looked at it for the first time today and could not stop laughing! Even our director was having a hard time keeping it straight! I hope we do some crazy things like costumes or a slideshow for this when we perform it.

You will have a hell of a time with this piece. The Provincial Honour Band that I performed this with loved it so much! I love it too, and I'm really hoping that my school band will play it as well!

[gaaarinai]

our marching band is playing this for their show! its awesome!!

[WolfeyesVIII]

Got to play this recently, I love this piece sooo much. Too bad we didn't get to get dressed up Elvi or a slideshow or anything like that (but hey, had two clarinets tango at least).

Seconding the comment about the nice touch with the inflatable Godzilla. That looks so cool.

[SaxDude07]

When did you play it? I played it this summer (aug 2) and we had 2 clarinets tango as well. Hahaa

[WolfeyesVIII]

MusiCamp Alberta.

[SaxDude07]

Haha same! :)

lol

Oak Grove High School's Wind Ensemble played this piece in spring of 2007 and the exact same video/slideshow was used in their performance. How did ASU get the slideshow???

[stevegmartin]

It came from your band director. He was very cool about letting us use it. As you can tell, we eliminated a few of the Godzilla slides to make room for our cute little inflatable one.

[OGWORLD]

oh cool! yeah the inflatable godzilla was an amazing touch! very very nice work!

[soccer29290]

I played this last year when i was in 8th grade and it was awsome, nice job

[Datm]

Eric Whitacre is so stinkin cool. He actually wrote a song for our wind symphony at SLU.

We did this song too. Our percussionists actually dressed up as the Elvis Army.

[JennTomagatchi]

I am playing this. ^__^

I love it!!

[criedcrimson]

Awesome! I played this my senior year of highschool last year. It was so much fun! I had that sweet piccolo solo. ^_^

[qhyme06]

I love how godzilla's arm pops out at the end

[OrchestratedPictures]

WOW!!! Wish we could have been there. A+

[bretwags]
