Tricycle

[laxpsychogoalie]

i play bari sax and my band last year played this song. we did AMAZING. now i'm a freshman in high school and our band is playing it. unfortunately, we have yet to play the piece, even though we got it in early january.

[YAY357]

lol

we're playing this song-we sound so sucky cuz we were sight reading it :P (7th gr.)

but nice job :)

i play baritone

[TarrHitsJellyWorld]

My band director told us to look this up

[kurpaul16]

My band teacher said it should be in 3/4 time because a Tricycle has 3 wheels. Then he said since its in 5/4 time I guess its a tricycle with training wheels....

[thekayt]

Oh my goodness my Band instructor said the same thing

[luvme189]

my band teacher said that it was like at first riding your new tricycle, and experiencing falls, bullies, etc. before at the end finally getting the hang of it and you're riding down a big hill.

[drumkid9]

my band teacher told me to watch this video so we could play the song in perspective to how we kno whats sorta happening

[connerj62]

i feel no presents of a tuba in the song really, in the begging with the euphonium,baritone,French horn its spoused to be choppy and not smooth and its not together and after that low brass feels like theres no tuba

[kraziesuthernbelle]

this song is just so...happy...

almost to the point of sickening...but I like it :)

[Asunaapple]

this is an awesome vid our symphonic band is playing this song this year and this video just made me like it even more since our (clarinet) part is just a bit boring lol i loved the camara shots great job :)

[themousewillbegone]

wicked decent man...this is the high light of my day besides being at school in some grade.....weird....hehe nice job

[lacrosseguy1994]

hey im in 8th grade and my class is playing this. my favorite part is the middle with the low brass solo dealy (i play bari sax). haha

[Bittenbyacow]

Wow. That was really...odd. My band is playing this song, and I guess I never thought of it like that. Good job, though, it made me laugh!

And the camera job was really excellent!

[mRYOKLEYYAHOOCOM]

Your a loser

[uio222]

lol nice video

[discovery003]

we played this song for honor band but since we only had like a 6 hour rehersal before our concert (our ONLY rehersal we ever got) so we played it a lot slower. they're really good!

[rainingonMonday]

it'd be better if my band could do a straight run-thru though........

[manimomo87]

LOL they gave us this song in band o.o

[rainingonMonday]

dudes, i totally love the ending

[4ndr3w1431]

Uhh get a better camera

[Clorow]

Gah... I hate this song. But not because it sounds bad - we had to play it for freshman region band and it was way too easy for us.

[clearlykyle]

nice idea, could be a lot better though... you had a whole crew there.

[wampwampmjl]

[loomter]

i played this in 7th grade. i had the trumpet solo. the video was pretty cool too.

[vitchyr]

Wow, that's really good. especially the trumpet solo and the percussion. our percussian sort of sucks except for our snare. lol.

[vitchyr]

My band's playing this song, its so cool ^_^. lol funny description. Is this the recording or a band ur band playing it? i'm guessing it was your band. If so, nice job. It sounds great. Bleh, 208 is a little fast for a middle school band XD. Its pretty awesome that we can actually do it though....... its like one of the great fours.... :) well good job.

[jwitwer]

yeah that is a recording of one of our band concerts

[icuthiswristVERTICAL]

I'm a member of the Massabesic High School band in Maine. I just recently had a competition with my school's band and we played Tricycle. Andrew Boysen Jr., came to a clinic with us and told us how he came up with the piece and how the name Tricycle came about. He has seen this video and reccommened it to us to watch. He said that he enjoyed it and wished that he had envisioned this when he was writing the piece.

[jwitwer]

That is awesome, thanks for sharing!

[abslch]

i love tricycle...we played it in middle school, i always liked it a lot. :D

[punklizzy2009]
