FIU Symphony Band - Marche des Parachutiste Belge

[BFMVxlovex]

VVVVVVVVV I agree entirely. Dang. I played this my freshman year in high school, and we preformed it so much better than this/:

[doomace2397]

Ummm what do I say. No offense but the articulation was sloppy. There was no dynamics and the trio needed some work. The 2nd & 3rd cornets are supposed to be a part of the melody not covered up and the Bass clarinet needs some work. And for christ sakes add a basson. Or bring that part out.We are playing this for our Texas varsity middle school UIL contest and we have won the top honers for 27 straight years and I'm sorry to say that you still need work on this piece. This is (hopefully) const

[gy1952]

that's the song i played in my symphonic band orchestra

[funconductor]

Oh my.........

[TheScottishDragon]

ha ha ha, silly Bass Clarinets.......I played Contra Bass Clarinet here, and played the bass clarinet part. it was quite difficult to play the 16th note pickups right, lol. good fun though.

[pinkygirl129]

: / Our band sounds like this now... And we just started working on it... I agree - articulation, and it IS Parachutists

[MixedUpPie]

OMFG THIS IS F***ING TERRIBLE!

[MustangIsAPimp]

@Relyt000004 ahhh......c'est inerassant....

[Owlsbreath]

I heard a fumble in the piccolo solo. but eh good recovery I suppose

[altoids79762]

yeah we are playin this peace in band and all of a sudden our band director put up waffles lol and every one was like wtf???he put waffels just becuase of the belgian part lol

[MustangIsAPimp]

Its March of the Belgian Paratroopers. not parachutists. and they really suck at playing it, no offense.

[tomfelton4everbaby]

I'm looking at my score right now and it says "Marche des Parachutistes Belges." There's obviously the French and English title.

[MustangIsAPimp]

@tomfelton4everbaby ladies and gentlemen. we have a genius.

[tomfelton4everbaby]

Why, thank you. Someone needed to state the obvious, since apparently it wasn't.

[MustangIsAPimp]

woah. don't get too cocky there mr.

[tomfelton4everbaby]

Yeah, yeah, whatever. I hate stupidity. In myself, in other people. I just hate it.

[fav1579]

@tomfelton4everbaby

Its not a french march but a belgian march

one of the famoust one and very special because of the clarinets not always used

in the march of our parachustits and we are very proud of it

Marc Poelmans-Belgium

[Clarinetgurl16r]

god the bass clarinet sounds awful. Listen the North Ridge MIDDLE School band to hear some decent bass clarinets.

[ejkimble]

this is horrible omg....my high school wind ensemble did a way better job of this piece!

[funconductor]

"EGAD!" and "YIKES!" Has your director ever heard this piece before? This is a CONCERT march and, in my opinion, the very best one. This unbelievably fast tempo makes it sound like someone's got to run to the bathroom or something! You're completely missing the point (as well as quite a few notes).

[cec091]

Whoever posted this video misspelled the title. It is plural so it should be "Marche des Parachutistes Belges;" otherwise "des" would need to be "de."

[Kaishi14]

Whoa~! Bass Clarinet??

I thought Clarinet played there. Weird. I loved it though.!!! BASS CLARINET RULE!!!

[JamesonTee]

there are different arrangements. in the arrangement im playing at my school, bassoon actually gets that solo.

[saraRIOTxx]

They need some bassoon in there though. Our band did it and the bassoon and bass clarinet sound there is amazing!

[ColorGuardGuru]

@Kaishi14 yeaaaaah they're are quite the sexy instrument

[biznock19]

woo bass clarinet sounds good

[zuzu1025]

these guys are professional right?

[krnguardianangel012]

hey has any1 played Cajun Folksongs II or Im 17 Come Sunday?? and this song?

[emilyqt007]

the flutes are the best section lol

[ZelenVR]

We just played this at our last University Ensemble concert, fun piece. Too fast here though, its a march not a sprint. Other than than sounds good.

[jdrzewicki9]

I like the energy.

I think it's to fast for a European March though.

More dynamics and trombones before the trio.

2nd trumpets are to loud at the trio.

PICHALO, CONTROL IT at the beginning, but it got better.

Tuba's to heavy in that last set of measures.

But it's good :D

[thedashiii]

Umm for someone who is throwing out a lot of criticism, you should really learn how to spell.

PICCOLO.
