As Summer Was Just Beginning

[MrEdWaRdHYdE1]

I dont want to sound offensive, but . . . the horns aren't really together in the beginning. I get to play this in my band, and we were all over the place

[ihatepie808197]

go trumpets!!

[yugiohrocks131]

Nice job trumpets and horns!

[R0ccojas0n]

My high school band was going to play this at the graduation, but it just had to rain on both the main date and rain date =/

[ihatemylove100]

im playing this song in orchestra

[ClarinetChick18]

im playing this song in band :)

[cbrocki95]

great song it was for james dean my band just played this fo a concert and i was the only french horn so all the pressure was on me great job guys

[daniel0802jung]

Very well played. I'm playing this at my school too, although we really need more tubas and euphoniums.

[freakforfish]

Where are the stringss? D:

[gershmer0]

That's a lot of euphoniums/baritones

[cooler446]

There are 4 Euphoniums and 4 Tubas.

[bunny62196]

@cooler446 haha in my band we have 1 euphonium that started a week ago and 1 tuba

[TennisChamp59]

Sounds 100x better when strings play this piece.

[telecaster548]

We're playing this in our band at school. such a gorgeous song.

loved the trumpet solos! i'm playing them for our school.

[emilyloveschristian]

Could use more horn. It;s the mealady, and if I didn't play this already I would have a hard time finding it. Our band was just about the same size, but we only had 3 horns, by the looks you have 8 or 9. We played much louder, It's pretty though.

[emilyloveschristian]

we only had less thena week to prepare it too.

[bunny62196]

@emilyloveschristian same here we have a concert tomorrow and on thursday we got this piece as well as Onward!, The Double Eagle (Concert March), and Lincoln Celebration Overature

[HanHanFilms]

You know, I've noticed that in a lot of Daehn's music, the Horns almost always have the melody.

[shortie13sh]

1st trumpet solos ... AMAZING ! lol

i loved it

especially 1:42!

[gtphinky]

Our school played this just this spring and i love it. I have to agree with springxfantasy. the beginning was not as good as i had hoped, and the french horns were a little out of tune. also the chord at 1:41 was kind of...odd, but overall i loved you guys. good job!

[SpringxFantasy]

the begingin was a bit off. tuning in horns culd've been better

[HanHanFilms]

That is a mighty large tuba section o_o

[SislerBand]

Yeah, no kidding.. But that's better than having only one or no tuba in a band.

[SpontaniousGooglerz]

I enjoy this piece so much,im glad i have a solo on this

[e12433]

my band went on tour and played this

[TTINUHPLOTR]

Waah, I played this with my band too ;D. I'm uploading the "solo" bit with the flute sometime, since I don't have a recording of a full band playing it (unfortunately)

[ShadowZelda3]

Our band got to vote on which songs we wanted to play for concert season this year and this one got picked (though I didn't vote for it). But now that I know what it sounds like other than from the clarinet point of view, it's gorgeous! I can't believe I voted for the other one just cuz I wanted a solo...but now I'm glad this one is our slow song!

[UBlewTube]

james dean is gayyyy

[trumpetwins123]

There's no dynamic differential!

[ifancyryanross]

This is very great,

so lovely.

I'm currently playing this at my school,

I play Clarinet.

Hopefully we can reach this, some time.

aha,

Once again, lovely performance.

(:

[sheep868]

i play tenor sax and our conductor had just the altos and clarinets play their part in the little solo-y thing and it was like wahhhh!!!!!!!

amazing!!!!

haha

tenor always has shitty parts, which is a shame, because our school's tenor section is really strong. :/

[warpedgirl02]

Our Band is playing this for district and it is better than this i mean this sounds okay but the french horns are blasting a little.

[VanessaUJS]

I loved playing this one, even though i only had the low, boring parts....this one was so pretty...

[xjwag11x]

my schools band played this last year and we got a gold!

good job

[fiedlerbob101]

I'm so very glad i could help!!!!! Enjoy and Good luck

Bob

[akkshow]

omg im a sax player in middle school we are playing this for our winter concert and this is a huge help because i can hear what we are actually suposed to sound like!!!:) thanks so much i love it!!!

[xAllieBama]

I played this in my middle school band, I'm a horn player, and I absolutely fell in LOVEEEE with this song

good job

[NjSttn2]

i play the saxophone in my high school band and im very excited to be playing this song for my concert i love it GREAT JOB!

[joefan911]

thats is amazing you guys are great. i play the flute in middle school its so much fun i have been plaing for 5 years now and i will never stop beacuse its an amazing gift to be able to play such a wonderful instrument

[fiedlerbob101]

Im so very glad you liked it.

[Markcanscooter]

that was sick

I was in the middle school ABC band playing trumpet

[fiedlerbob101]

Thats alright, what year did you play trumpet for ABC in the middle school? Cause if it was this year catch the KOOL KAT shuffle, i thought it was done well by you guys.

[lescallade]

*goosebumps* u should try shanendoah

[Musicluva101]

beautiful song and beautifully played.

[redelmo0]

we're starting to play this in band to prep us for grade 10 next year it's a really nice slow song

[bek812]

too much horn!! a little bit more saxophone needs to come out. we are playing this for our spring concert. and there are more saxes than horns, but horns are more important. i still think there needs to be a little bit more sax though.

[BrideOfChaotica]

we almost played this song in our band, but everyone freaked out because they were afraid that then they wouldn't be able to play Solas Ane. so we didn't play it. I would've liked to

[LOTRgrim]

Im an alto sax player so i 100% agree with that statement!

[saxophonechick]

Hmm... no offense to french horn players, but i think it wouldve sounded better with more saxes....(but of course my opinion is obviously biased ;])

Get song. I played it my 7th grade year.... I would LOVE to play it again.

[fiedlerbob101]

ya'll did a great job, the concert was wonderful and you and all the members of the band should be proud of yourselves

[islandbmd]

thanks for posting these. i was 3rd trumpet
