Fantasia on the Dargason(audio)

[sparkgurl12]

I'm in middle school band and have to learn this in two weeks, and I'm a beginner flute... wonderful. (Sense the sarcasm)

[Bertsnapcrackle]

Good rendition for a middle school band. Got some gutsy Horns and Euphs. Nice job.

[Horsegurl1211]

this is good for middle school, we r playin this, this will be my 2nd time playin it, ugh kinda hate the repeating pattern the clarinets have cause thats wut i am

[Aruns94]

i think you would have been better suited for popcorn prelude...

[doublebassheeltoe]

@Aruns94 Show me a degree. Then we'll talk.

[Aruns94]

sorry but this is why middle schools shouldn't perform this piece, like, just not mature enough? iunno it was a good effort but it's a hard piece to play properly and this just wasn't one of those times

[doublebassheeltoe]

@Aruns94 The idea was to challenge the best 7-9th grade musicians in northern Kentucky by playing challenging music with only three days to clean it. Would you rather have us play Popcorn Prelude?

[life4evarulz]

@Aruns94 How about you back off ? Im in 8th grade & Im in advanced band & we're playing this for our concert. Don't you dare say that middle schools shouldn't perform this piece. You're saying that we're not mature enough to play this, I bet you werent mature enough to check with yourself first before you start stereotyping middle schools saying that we can't play challenging music. SMH , older kids these days .

[doublebassheeltoe]

@life4evarulz How about we all quit fighting on my video, I'm getting sick and tired of listening to twelve year olds bitch about eighth notes.

[MrCheeser124]

I THINK KENTUCKY SUCKS!

[cutie5530]

man we r playin dis at skool i got da trumpet part it iz very kool

[omgyoureaspy]

@cutie5530 English. Do you speak it?

[cutie5530]

yea so in-mature 

[llamasarus1]

this is such a geniusly well structured song. It has two melody's going on at the same time for some parts of the song. My band is playin this. It got stuck in my head so i played it on piano by ear.

[hugebudd]

0:45 to 1:15 reminds me of metal gear solid theme or somewhat

[1varsityfanclub4eva]

@freteks yea the baritone part was really cool i was glad i got to play it with the baritone we had in our band =) who.. at the time was my boy friend hahaha ironic right

[as1ckmatt]

anyone got the notes for this?

[Amendous]

@as1ckmatt All depends what you play good sir

[1varsityfanclub4eva]

hehe @haystack003 its all good the clarinet in my opinion is the greatest instrument lolz, cus we almost always get the awesome melody. IF flutes n trumpets dnt take it =)

[Amendous]

@1varsityfanclub4eva ROFL Clarinets....Can you hear them in marching bands? hell no what do you hear? Trumpets....and all brass in general. And in this song they never have it once....

[1varsityfanclub4eva]

@Amendous exactly but in my marching band we have to bring out the clarinets like crazy cus the dang trumpets are so loud and we have like half the band in flutes its so lame! lol

[haystack003]

o ya rock the clarinet i play it 2 and were playing this this year and ug just reapeating that same rhythm 130 measures prob.!1

[1varsityfanclub4eva]

i remember playing this last year in band omg it sounds just like us !!!! i love it !!!!! XD i member having to play the baritone part on my bass clarinet!!!

[hockey31997]

when you gaot to the two 4 section the 2/4 people kinda sagged behind but other than that great exposed clarinet part and the quarter eighth quarter eighth part was a little rushy but i give u two thumbs up

[Amendous]

@hockey31997 when the trumpets come in with the watcha mackalit piece...near the end the attack was a bit weak o.o If you know what im talking about that would be amazing

[BabyWash4732]

im playing this for concert band..makes me wanna dance.

[MoveThatFatty]

yea same our band plays a different version

[iknewthtduhh45]

hmmm. we're playing this song in my marching band and we have a different version.

[pokemonfaneverlastin]

hahaha i guess so. like when this girl had her camera out on her stand. the teacher came over, looked over her stand, saw the camera, ignored it and went right on teaching

[pokemonfaneverlastin]

sorry for such a late reply.

hahaha. our teacher, as long as we're quiet, we can do pretty much anything we want

[lizb1t]

Woah! Fourth movement of 2nd Suite in F.

We did this for, Dixie Classic in DC this spring.

[flyingaces888]

me and my 8th grade band played this. perfectly. this is only our second year playing. we got straight superiors. im the only french horn but i held up my part(:

[Compto88]

how many tubas and is there a barry sax?

i play the tuba and this arrangement is so easy....

i play the hard arrangement in school im 13 and play a triple f(low side) then to high f at the beginning

[associatedwithlosi]

That is because your band is playing the easier arrangement than the origional piece. That is hard for colleges.

[Compto88]

yeah bkuz a triple deep f on a BBb tuba is real easy isnt it

[WrightTenorBone]

Well, most middle school tuba players should have alot of talent, but they don't try all of the time. As a brass specialist I know that tuba can be difficult. But it it is not hard. Yet not easy.

[Alchemydude666]

I did this as part of an audition my freshman year of highschool.

[BlazingEnergy]

dude imma sophmore in high school and this song is kinda hard for the tuba, especially when i have to play the main riff that the clarinets start it off with.

[pokemonfaneverlastin]

poor you...i just have band during school...and the teacher talks most of the time. lolll. oh, ok. hahaha

[pokemonfaneverlastin]

we had to play some songs for ed. faire...and it wasn't that good...not at all...but at least we got pizza and soda afterwards so it doesn't matter!! :)

[pokemonfaneverlastin]

hahaha...im a clarinet too. i don't think we'd sound too good either if we had to play that in band.

[pokemonfaneverlastin]

well, i kno it's hard...cuz i have the music...but i still like the song. hahaha, i don't think we will anyways, cuz the band isn't the best...but that's ok! ;)

[sweettothebrownie]

good job and you guys are only middle schoolers. My highschool band is playing it for the first time and i love it but it is an interesting thing to play. The picc solo at the end i have to work on. =)

[milroxsox]

dude this is easy for a middle school band. this was nly the third song we got

[noobiot100]

im playing it. i play the baritone part :)

[pokemonfaneverlastin]

i wanna play this in band...it's a nice song

[dewfus43]

i love the greensleeves counter melody the brass get i play bari sax at hb beal ss in london ontario

[PorygonZ77]

I cant wait to play this song at my school concert! This is like my favorite song.

[doublebassheeltoe]

LOL.

[HCB428]

you guys are totally lucky to play this. we got to play First suite in Eb

[Ipwnyou54]

omfg this is exactly what we are playing in band right now!!!!! :D

[zeldafreakxvi]

this has to be a really good middle school band if they can play host's second suit in Eb

[zeldafreakxvi]

my mistake i mean second suit in F

[zeldafreakxvi]

and i spelled suite wrong

[Ipwnyou54]

it says in the description that they are a select band

[musicpnklover48]

omg u guys played it rlly well

its the same version as the one i played in 7th grade

and my band sounded good!!

u guys are rlly good

=]]

[SxeFluff]

Good recording

[musicpnklover48]

=]

throughout the district;]

but my teacher is rlly good=]

I LOVE BAND!

=D

[realgangstalol]

that song pwns =D

[hannahxgod]

we're playing this song and I absolutely love it, I love Holst's music, personally I think this could have been performed better but it's a lot better than my band so far... we've had it for about two weeks though

[catastrophickoolness]

we are playing this song in our school band and we suck at it!!

[DEATHbyRAZORBACK]

sounds good but the original arrangement is way better, if they can play this good, they should be playing the original

[mrmighty7]

I don't care about the damn flutes, but where's the tuba solo at the end!!! Ridiculous!

[patroks]

EXCELLENT JOB NORTHERN KENTUCKY...Thumbs up!!! So sad for the people that don't know good music.

[gunnar1992]

horrible arrangement

[ilovepi13]

I hated this song so much. Whoever arranged/composed it (well, both of them, really) has absolutely no idea how dumb the flute/piccolo part was. Grrrr. D:

[Giovannig123]

i played this song! At my middle school

[cooliowayner]

the song is so catchy
