I cringed. I just played it last year and had to do most of the percussion myself (except for parts that are played at the same time). I could not finish the song. Sorry to the orchestra that played, but the sand blocks not only being off at the beginning but also not being played to the correct rhythm is not acceptable for this piece. The entire work just went downhill from there.
My Middle School is Playing this and I'm surprised at how well we can play it. Weve got a competition Friday! Hope we play better than this, although it a difficult piece.
We played this piece for state in 1978, Iplayed timpini and it was a very hard piece to play, but you are right, the percussion and brass were bad off
this is the high school honor band?!?!at my school theres a symphonic band(top band)and a concert band(2ndband)the concert band is playing this and they are like 69 times better!we arent even through half of our concert season!we sounded like this when we were sight reading this.
@moneyspent1 this is no where close to "TERRIBLE. playing" I dont know who you are but apparent some perfect musician. You can get the best musicians from around the world, put them in a band together, and it wont be 100% perfect. So you can get out of here with your negativeness. How about you get a band, play this song, then we can see how much better your "perfection" is than this. But untill you do, I cant even believe you have the audacity to critisize them.
This was the worse thing ive ever heard drums were very off bones were out of tune flute in intro made to many avoidable mistakes if they had just practice
this is absolutely TERRIBLE. playing, idk who would even put this up on youtube. im sorry, but the percussion was very off, and couldnt play consistently. idk if it was the audio settings or what, but they were very off, and the trombone section, how out of tune were they? granted this is an extremly difficult piece to play. grade 6. better than most ensembles who try to play this though, good job, for getting it for the most part.
@moneyspent1 i agree they are pretty off, but it kinda helps me out cause my precussion are kinda horrible and are just as off or worse... not to mention that most of the wind players are off as well =P
nice im playin this for concert band... first really complicated and cool piece we have done that i know of for concert band.... should sound awesome but need more powerful trombones to complete the piece =))
I think this piece would sound better if you took it a tad bit slower. I played this last year in my high school band. It's a hard piece. For the fist few minutes the band just doesn't seem to be together and your all working hard to try and keep up with each other. Sounds good at the end though.
@mutzuz im currently playing it... it starts off 3/4 moves to 4/4 for the remainder of the piece however there are some random 3/4 or 2/4 in the piece for a measure or two here and there
@d15k0zach It's there, but it doesn't carry as much as it should. Not much of the intricate percussion parts do. When we played it, I used to put myself on autopilot during rehearsals just to listen to it.
@shrinkman200 Such humility! (sarcasm) If your band is so good, let's hear one of your band's performances then! And before you tell me to stop being a hypocrite, there are several videos of my school's band playing. Recent videos include our trip to Spain this year, when we played in Segovia and Madrid. Keywords: WHS Spain. Just those two words.
@UndecidedRPGplayer look up the phrase "uil area d" and its the 5th link from the top with "cedar park at uil area d finals" as a subtopic. this is our marching show last year cuz i couldnt find anything else. we placed 1st at area out of the 32 bands that competed and then went on to state where we placed 4th out of the 36 bands that competed. cedar park hs is in austin, tx.
@brad2223322 This is a hard piece, and trombones never get good parts. I'm the only trombone in my band and my band is going to play this piece. I promise you I'll play it better.
My middle school band is working on this right now for nat competition. We are trying to go back to back after winning last year with Variations on an Korean Folk Song. (1st chair trumpet)
My high school honors band played this my freshman year (waaaaay back in 1991). I played trumpet. It was the hardest thing we ever had to learn, but we did it-- got first place at state competition. Ahhhh the memories! Thanks for posting!
From the beginning to about 2 min. 20 seconds in it it sounds very good, then the piece loses it's musical flow and doesn't stay together very much...and the performance goes downhill. So yeah I can say overall it's horrible. But the opening flute section and the percussion feature were impressive.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
so what, our middle school honor band played this better than that. anger doesnt make what i said untrue. besides, ur probably from a school whose band program kinda sux anyway so dont be mad at me for ur school's mediocrity
right now im in my high school's honor band and we're playing much harder songs like:
-Symphony No. 2 by Frank Ticheli
-Bandancing by Jack Stamp
-Tempered Steel by Charles Young
anyways, im mostly saying their french horns sucked since im a f horn player myself
my highschool band has gotten straight 1's at every competition we've played in for the last 6 years. and not just our honor band. also our regular advanced band and both jazz bands.
Tempered Steel! Oh the memories. From last year. And Volcano, though I wasn't there when our band played it. And add Frank Ticheli and Eric Whitacre, and you've got an all-star cast!
i played this my freshman year in high school on the bassoon was hard as fuck man, but thats just mean cause double reed intrements arent exatly easy to play but i still did it and i LOVED playing this song!!!
I agree with lutari. Without dynamics or without proper emphasis on notes, your just playing it straight. If you play it straight, there is no personality, making even the easiest piece of music sound bad.
because, it is hard. If you think it's easy then your just going through the motions, and aren't playing it with emotions or proper accents or proper anything so it's just gonna sound like garbage. Unless you spend months practicing it, even still it should be a challenge.
Or maybe it's just easy because I'm a good player. We've been practicing since August. We're very good. We're the top band at a world famous arts school. We play it amazing. So just shut up, especially when you don't know what I'm talking about.
Rofl, some of the comments people post on this video probably take longer to write that watching the actual videos, get a life guys - if you don't like the video then simply move on, alot of these comments I read are just immature kids fishing for compliments, Nobody cares about your band. Kthnx
wow you guys are all tools, this is fine and if a band can even get through this piece i give them mad props; there's so many musicians out there that just need to get over themselves...
ar 2 woodwind instuctors were both drum majors each 3 years, one of them made the state honor band for 4 years so at least do better next time
BTW are band went to the western international band clinic in seattle on november and to prove it look up WIBC 2008, click, find our school name John foster dulles middle school honar band
lets face it us and many other honorable worthy MIDDLE SCHOOL honor bands are better than this
im in the dulles middle school honorband and we played this and made second in competition and got straight ones by all judges at uil/ i play bass trombone and im gonna make a bold statement but ur trombones and percussion ar crappy as hell
come to our school if you highschoolers seriously want to know haw to play this
are percussion teacher is an ex-drum corps snare who served on the garfield cadets(drum corps international)
ar brass teacher was 2 time drum major for texas university
guys cut these people some slack u try playing this peace even looking at it its crazy so dont say they suck u probably suck more than they do who know but dont pick on their sound its hard piece
our high school symphonic band in wiggins mississippi is doing this song this year we are taking it to the washington D.C. clinic and i hope to post a recording of our variation. I thought that the freanch horn section could put a little more of a contribution into the rythym along with a clearer trombone sound.
are you crazy you could never march this peice! the flute part in the beginning would not project at at all and this is not somthing you take out and march. Amazing job playing this though it sounds awesome!
There percussion and trombone section makes me want to throw up. So many cracked notes, It seems like every band I listen to does not play this correct. I've only heard one brass section play this right and it was live.
The Tympani player is much to quiet and he isn't muffling the heads of the drums for a crisp sound. It sounds too fuzzy.
Agreed on recording quality. I played this song back in the day, and I was a bass clarinet player at the time. I love the song because there is a bass clarinet/bassoon solo and you can't even hear it here. I will look for another one that is a bit better.
John Barnes Chance was a great composer. His best was Elegy and it literally brought tears to my eyes when I played it at the age of 15 for the first time. I believe Chance had just died a year before. That would make me old! I wish someone would put Elegy out here.
Please do cuz I would really love to hear it cuz my school's wind ensemble is going to be playing at a conference so I just wanna hear what it sounds like B4 everybody plays it

John Barnes Chance was a great composer. His best was Elegy and it literally brought tears to my eyes when I played it at the age of 15 for the first time. I believe Chance had just died a year before. That would make me old! I wish someone would put Elegy out here.
