Poker Face for Band

[aut0maticearth]

umm... you forgot about percussion. My band plays this and there's a lot more snare than just quarter notes on 2 and 4.

[Jaymifm]

the playback thing is blocking part of the flute part

[Ventrata]

WHY ARENT YOU FAMOUS YET. O:<<<<

[BrittTaylor943]

Yay I hear the part I did when our band played this!!! :D

[Stargirl1399]

awesome!! some kids this a my school for the talent show, except it was all band instruments, and the orchestra also played it

[Mrandolph422]

This is Awesome!

[Mrandolph422]

What's the last instrument? (Glock)?

[qrbrbirrrl]

@Mrandolph422 It's a Glokenspiel. It's like a xylophone, except the bars are made of metal and smaller for higher pitch.

[RandomMe4444]

Nice :)

[JhonDosBox]

my band has to play this but it sounds a bit different

[tamaratomatopotato]

i would have to say that hampshire high school in romney.wv is the best at playing this at football games!!! GO HHS!!! ") 

[KatieKaitlynz]

O: i play french horn, i'm so insulted right now

[locosax3]

thank you for the partituras

[Postwarchives]

beautiful

[yeahilikefrenchtoast]

No trombone? Or french horn? Wassup with that? :(

[randomguy652]

@yeahilikefrenchtoast Trombone is low brass. ( I think. I'm high brass. (Trumpet))

[yeahilikefrenchtoast]

@randomguy652 I know. But they're still brass.

[Dixmani]

you need trombones and trumpets and french horn its a lot cooler and louder

[GodForGiv3n]

@Dixmani He needs percussion :D

[yeahilikefrenchtoast]

@Dixmani there ARE trumpets, actually theyre Bb trumpets. (B flat trumpets) and yeah, trombones and french horns for SURE are needed! :{ Also, low woodwinds gives it a nice depth... like bass clarinets, tenor saxes, and bari saxes. :D

[PurpleOfTheRose]

@yeahilikefrenchtoast bassoon FTW (bassoonist)

[MysteriousLolli]

You are fabulous!!! <3

[jakeo96]

it acuatlly sounds badass with the golden band from tigerland!!!

[hoboandwedgiestudio1]

what software is this and where did you get it

[fswmacguy]

@hoboandwedgiestudio1 The software is Sibelius 5. It isn't free, but it is well worth the price. At the moment, the current version is Sibelius 6.

[Firerider142]

i am playing the real one wrote for the band at my high school and this is close but missing a lot. Go Swansboro pirates

[MorningColorSky]

its just me since im in percussion but, i think you should make the snare part a little bit more interesting :D

but this is pretty cool (:

[chester1009]

the link doesnt work can u plz send me the music?

[AbbyITMS]

no F Horn?

[fswmacguy]

That's right! Originally I debated whether or not to add a horn part. Ultimately, it didn't make it into the score due to the simplicity of the song.

[dmsudlow]

@fswmacguy eddie you pooo....leaving out the best section! :) haha

[Drydenish]

Loved it!

[Arseniumcy424]

really thank you for these!!

i need them!!

[sleeptil3]

intersting. id like to hear this live. im curious why you reharm'd the chorus. just creative stuff?

[fswmacguy]

The chorus from the original song was way too simple. It's overly repetitive and this obviously makes it a boring song.

The cool thing about that particular chorus, is it works with so many neat background lines. I had a blast trying different sounds and rhythms behind the main chorus.

[NsNBobbysto]

this must of took a while to make , i use this program in my GCSE class an i find trouble doing covers to songs

[BunniculaSakura]

Why did you write it in Eb but start on A? It sounds right, but somehow, the score looks like it's in like Cminor. :/ Can you transpose to Bb and star on G please?

[fswmacguy]

The score matches the original pitch(es) of the actual song. That made it much easier to transpose into a score.

The other piece I did, "Just Dance", was also in this weird Eb-A key, but I did chop it over to an easier signature.

If I get some free time later this week, I'll be more than happy to take the piece into Bb.

[BunniculaSakura]

Yes, now that I think about it, it does utilize the original pitches of the song (I forgot about the Ab in the key signature...oops). When I started transposing the original notes, I actually found that it's in the key of B, which would be difficult to band.

If you really could transpose it into Bb, that would be great. :)

[charleschuck93]

i wish our band would play something like this

[Jimokoy]

HELLO. I would like to ask you,How did you make that musical piece?do you have a SOFTWARE? i like your arrangement.can you help me how to make like that?

[ayutenshi2]

That is so incredibly awesome! :)

[sparkilingtopaz]

[fswmacguy]

Check the video description.

[cuerodrummer]

[fswmacguy]

Thanks!
