There are 4 parts.I played this show in High school and it was the only show I could'nt wait to be over, most boring show we ever played.Usually when I hear a song I played in marching band I get so Happy I become sad(hopefully you know what Im talking about.But thhis show,all I can remember is how miserable I was but this was also the year my girlfriend was removed from the band and I played Trombone.not many good trombone parts in this song.BTW He accually skiped Part2 that startswith baritone
This is really nice. I think my high school is doing this next year. I won't be there though LOL. It's really good, i don't like how they do their commands. oh well. I guess it's just different from what i'm used to.
This is an awesome performance of this song. I remember doing this in High School in 2002. I would have to agree with jesusFreak, the worst part of this performance was the Drum Line. There were many times where they were not together and crisp, like a drum line needs to be. I played in the pit for our song and I loved it. I have always adored playing the keyboard instruments, and I thought your guys did a fantastic job with this, they blended into the band well, while you could still hear them.
thanks for all the comments bro. the vocal commands have been a tradition in the mel high marching band for 40+ years. and since it is a tradition we tend to keep it.
Well in that case, keep it going! I just hadn't heard it before. I know we have them drilled into our heads, so you "say" it, but only to yourself. Sounds good to me. Check us out, Dublin Coffman Marching Band. Take it easy -- JF
4:20 is awesome guys! Drumline at 4:40 could be cleaner, but not awful. Winds 4:47, nicely done. 5:00, nice blend. Again, what's with the "Down!" Nicer just to see the horns snap down. Drumbreak, here we go. Snares, clean it up. Tenors, pretty good guys, clean with the snares. Basses watch unisons, splits were good. snares were good at 6:07 very clean. Watch those rimshots, they were split between all of you. Winds at 6:41 you guys are right on. Cool backwards high step, Creative ->
(comment as I watch) Intro horns we're awesome. Perc entrance was pretty good, fell apart as it acclerated, winds still sound good. 2:31, everyone was together. Drumline needed to clean up their sixteenths. What's up with the vocal commands? "And Down!" No need to speak it, Just do it, it's much flashier that way. Slow section sounds good so far, winds nice job. Clean blending. Perc at 3:35 excellent groove. Good formations. (Loved the "R" at the beginning!!) Perc at 4:10 good. Continue
Gaylord High is playing Riverdance too! But, we play it slower too and our director, Jarve, created our drills so they aren't as cool as yours. You guys really are amazing!
That is really good..our school is doing that show this year..but we play everything a little slower..like how its written on the paper. but you are really good.

great tempo, and cool forms.
my band is doing this this year...except we cut the first 18 measures of the opener and american wake.
and its pretty cool, before the drumline feature, the drumline does some dancing and flag work...=]

Nice ending winds, the bow effect is cool. Drumline watch it!! Good marching again, see 1 or 2 out of step. Ending was spot on.
