[wwwaaazzzaaapppp]

Go blue!!!! I have always wanted to go to this. I like how im the only tuba in my middle school band and they have like 15

[amandaandian2004]

I would have loved to have been there.

[julietanimeluvr13]

GO TUBA :3

[DuoDippers]

brass instruments, particularly trombones, trumpets, and sousaphones (marching tubas) produce the most noise so it's always wise to have them in the front. and by the looks of this band they have brass EVERYWHERE on the field lol

[fishycrackers101]

dang, go trombones

[mrmorrowindman]

im like the only good player in my band besides a few others

maybe ill post a video of me playing some xmas songs near the holidays

[MaryahRocks]

[xXmusicman08Xx]

[Bubben246]

[heathrown]

@Bubben246 Lower peninsula

[thevintagekid69]

I wish you guys did the outro... That would make this even more epic :)

[rockhammer666]

[MrDingdong1117]

[CoachNeto]

[legitsucks]

[Sasha101212]

That's a LOT of trombones. A LOT. Look at 'em slides go from 1st to 4th! Its like a freakin wave of holy-crap-thats-fucking-awesom­e!

[JohnLennon644]

This is bitchin

[xShimmyChangax]

Does anyone have the trombone music to this?



[TheNinjabetic]

GO CLARINETS!!!!!!

[shrillz]

wait, who puts brass in the front?

[TheDragonmaster18]

@shrillz smart people do. lol but seriously a lot of bands put brass in the front espicially bands that are in the south

[legitsucks]

@TheDragonmaster18 its truee cause our band has like 175 people and the brass is usally in the front. look us up austin high school marching band. our shows weve played since ive been there are carmen and music of faith

[heathrown]

@shrillz I think it's pretty common in college marching bands. Some don't even use woodwind instruments.

[heathrown]

@shrillz I think it's pretty common in college marching bands. Some don't even use woodwind instruments.

[1kittiesgonewild1]

@heathrown they should put the woodwinds up front...

[heathrown]

@1kittiesgonewild1 It happens once every blue moon!

[butterkisses2012]

@shrillz It is very common. Ohio State University doesn't even have woodwinds. Except Saxophones; they're strictly "Brass"

[worganyos]

@shrillz ohio state puts brass in the front... and the back... and the middle... and the sides...

[TheJake1109]

@shrillz ikr

[wjd4ever]

@shrillz All Colleges do. The reason why is because the brass is pointed in one detraction will the woodwinds flow through out

[MrPudding28]

Man the trumbones are getting it.

[aleglokenmeza]

Me encanto!

[agnstallodd2003]

the more i check out MMB, the more I am amazed at the quality and type of music they play. and after jamming to freebird played by MMB, i became a fan. and yes: GO TUBAS!!!

[xoxDifference]

Percussion and Queen FTW :D

[MgoMuse]

LOVE THIS!!!!!! GO BLUE AND GO QUEEN!!!!!!

[soupin78]

GO TUBAS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[theOppositeofus]

im jealous....

[bandajuanbautista1]

tremendo tema

[Masamune0191]

We're doing this in our music class! REPRESENT CANADA!

[skapremo10641]

GOOO DRUMLINE! >:DDDDD

the theme for my school's show next year is Queen and "Bohemian Rhapsody" is one of the songs so im super excited! :DD

good job btw!! this is amazing!

[tapewormmedusa]

Then...all of the sudden...the music gives way for a delicate solo piece played off of Freddy's mustache...

[SeaCucumber12]

Oh my gosh this is great!=D I'm a marching trumpet and I just gotta say you guys have a great sound. Terrific Job!;)

[hyperrandomgirl39]

I absolutely LOVE this! I'm a Flag Girl, right now we are doing a funeral march, Saints go marching in and Brooklyn. Anyway, I really love this band. If it wasn;t really cold there I would probably join. And This music is amazing, if you don't like it, don't watch it.

[heathrown]

@hyperrandomgirl39 Glad to hear it! Yes we do have to bundle up here. There are great marching bands in all parts of the country :)

[commanderspock13]

@hyperrandomgirl39 Bah it's not that cold, I want to go FARTHER north to Michigan Tech, lol

[mikhailkost]

Ah, love it!

[zmann2420]

I didn't know it was possible for this song to be less than 4 minutes long haha. i like it

[SkaterKairi]

Got enough trombones?

[cormag590]

@SkaterKairi Never.

[SkaterKairi]

@cormag590 Haha. I think it's just cause the band I'm in is small. I mean, it's high school, but we only have like 60-70 kids.

[Reaper4517]

Had that shitty marching band music. They ruin great songs like this.

[CrazyCat162]

love the brass! So strong and clear,hear them perfectly. :D

[KKRMT]

Our band only has two tubas two trombones one Bari sax two base clarinets and three baritones and our band is huge

[KKRMT]

I have played this song in the chamber ensemble at my school and was only in sixth grade it was easy

[drt429]

There is no other marching band in America that can begin to play this song as well as the MMB, truly TBDBITL

[TheDragonmaster18]

@drt429 FAMU and BCU can if they practice it as much as this band did. im not saying it would be better but they would be somecompetition but more than likely FAMU would probably play something like this. theyare known for pulling stuff out like this and playing it at their games.

[jerrygoodnght]

@drt429 What about WCU's Pride of the Mountains?? :D



[stealthbenny]

i laughed so hard at 2:25 right when it went it to the heavier part of the song they all get down

[bigdaddykirks]

Look White ppl have no f*cking rythem, it looks like all of them wanted to start dancing but nobody knew how!!!

lmfao!!! PATHETHIC!!!!

[ScientificoPiano]

Agh! This was amazing! Love it!

[fender1085]

MSU/OSU/JSU are the best bands EVER

[turtleshell56]

@fender1085 Also WVU. lol

[danielhi22]

anybody else get goosebumps hearing this? thumbs up if so.

[KawaiiKitty11]

yhea dude like at 1:09 1:10 ahhh i love that feeling is sounded so awsome :D

WHOOH GO TROMBONE SECTION :D ^_^

[danielhi22]

@KawaiiKitty11 Agreed =)

[kadyrosel64]

We did this song last year. The show was amazing. We had high step and all that. The main parts were a trumpet solo. It sounded nice, so does this.

[MJtwilight7]

Great! I want our band to play this!! ='[

[omgxitzxkassy]

now i want my band to play this, but we need more low brass :(

[SopranoPry]

@gayhorseeathaaay, good we can agree but one team i dislike more, and that is Notre dame, lol sorry, runs in my family

[Prestigemodder10th]

That pwns. Bohemian Rhapsody is the #1 best song ever to be made

[gayhorseseathaaay]

LOOK AT ALL TROMBONES

[BrantleyJd]

go blue

[SopranoPry]

love the song.....but REALLY dislike michigan....i'm a buckeye fan!

[gayhorseseathaaay]

@SopranoPry im a notre dame guy but at least we can agree on hating michigan

[TheBladeMistah]

how come it is a sped up 3 minute version just curious?

[heathrown]

@TheBladeMistah It had to fit into halftime of a football game, along with 2 other songs (and possibly a visiting band as well)

[gorthjrod]

@heathrown Why not just make one marching band show out of this song?

It's epic enough.

[heathrown]

@gorthjrod It could be, you're right: it would. It may just be because the norm is 3 songs.

[SIAFSX]

@TheBladeMistah They cut versers

[pfootball43]

When I was in band I sure wished we did something classic rather than a bunch of music nobody knows about

[TheWeightOfLove]

I'm playing this song for band :P we're going to suck hahaha but yeah ^^ <333 AMAZING I MUST SAY!

[simpledeeshuai]

the perfect combination of rock n roll and classical music

[frenzyXprime]

playin this in band but its sucks because we have like 15 members and we only have two clarinets, two sometimes three alto saxophones, a tenor sax, a bari sax, three flutes, and a baritone

[frenzyXprime]

@frenzyXprime and a few percussion

[estebanrivas95]

freddy mercury's voice takes out that whole band.

[Kondor448]

Lol and my band teacher wants us to play that (8th grade)

[XxXRAzOrXx]

holy fuck

[peaonflea33]

awesommmeeee :D

[Redbull807]

What level is this? Im guessing three.

[heathrown]

@Redbull807 I'm not exactly sure what that means, I'm guessing the difficulty of the music? If so, it probably hasn't been rated. Most of our music is arranged by the directors specifically for us.

[TNTTTMT]

@heathrown this song is too epic to be rated.

[heathrown]

@TNTTTMT Glad you like it!

[FSUfanOFtheBAND]

@Redbull807 It sounds like a level 3 1/2 (Medium)

[MeTube673]

@Redbull807 A website said it was a 2 or 2.5

[countrykid5219]

@Redbull807 Who cares what level it is as long as its played right. Some of the hardest music is the "low level" stuff.

[mhart95]

@Redbull807 its probably a 3.5 or 4 thats what mmb usually plays

[shadywolf96]

@Redbull807 This is a leval 5

[metallicaandbananas]

just f**king amazing. man i wish i get into one of these marching bands in collage or universities

[al21211]

exellent !!!!!!!!!

[BeatDemon08]

i wonder how many people had no clue what the hell they were doing or got lost during this.. lol its pretty cool though

[DreamingxFaeriex]

Hahah sweet(:

[svolypet]

One of the better arrangements I've heard. Good job.

[TigressaAcheron]

great job!

[ihateall95]

I love da tubas

[PerryThePlatypoos]

WOOOO! GO TROMBONES!

[paintpunk4ever]

@PerryThePlatypoos my school is playing this and I play trombone:)

[Trifftin]

@PerryThePlatypoos Yeah

[Mukdrumline123]

thattsss coolll...we play this during concert band....we...could use some work..lol..nice job tho!

[waddellmarcus]

that is not a lot for that size of college, Arkansas Tech, a Div. II school, with a band with 183 people in it, marches 18 tubas, and has 5 more tuba players that alternate spots.

[heathrown]

That is actually a smaller number of band members than usually gets a spot on the field. The stage will not accommodate more.

[topgunne12]

you should see the WHOLE band.

[choister5000]

awesome

[NotAndrewP123]

Very cool!

[POLARBEARNOPENGUIN]

Thats a lot of tubas in the back.

[Fsxroflcopter]

Are you guys a 6a band?

[iplayalespaul]

[maxddude]

[gruntgrunt90]

[turquoisbloodum1msu1]

[JuliaMariiie22]

[313gurl]

[ninomusician]

[csiLover889]

[TheRancher350]

yeah man trombones rock

[ColeoMCodeo321]

I can;t wait to do this at our Sprin Concert!!!

[patricktaylor41]

It felt really....fast

[fluxoff]

You're right. 5 minute piece broken up and jammed into 3 minutes. Sigh.

[0charlyparly0]

That was AMAZING! so cool! I wish my high sschool had that many trombones and tubas! but il have to wait till college or better! we have four and 10 trombones, thats a record! ha ha ha 0.o :p

[patricktaylor41]

at my school we dont have any tubas and only two trombones....its a sad day for our band

[poproostuAgata]

Cuuuudowne!!!!!!!!!!!!

[PrimeDefection]

some parts were so ridiculously rushed

[Kmmill4594]

Trombone Power! haha

[lpreams]

that was absolutely EPICMAZING!!!

[IpWnhXcKiDs]

sooo

many

trombones

0_o

i almost died when they started the heavier part towards the end and you can see a few of em just really gettin into it

[boricuajjv]

i love how the trombones get the melody. :D

[sirresh]

that would be so awesome to be playing there, cuz it would be so loud!!!

[aquatuck]

That is an insanely huge trombone section.

[boricuajjv]

i know.

i love it.

xD

[omgxitzxkassy]

haha i now right!!

[ScientificoPiano]

@aquatuck True that. But it creates a great deep sound.

[ActionRoll]

that was incredible. but for me its not the same without Brian on the guitar doin that solo :)

[whoax3babe]

ah, i love queen and this song is epic. hope our band does it :)

[Phase42]

What's with the woman in the white skirt just standing there on the stage through the whole song?

[dbreijak]

its the drum major

[sirresh]

no dude, that IS the conductor, the drum major is in white next to him

[ogzzlle]

...and that conductor definitely got' sum' soul up in em'...

[ogzzlle]

Yeeeeaaahhhh....dem jokers CRANKIN'! Yeah, dey got a lil of dat HBCU funk up in em'. Glad to see there's at least one of yal out dere who knows how to get down...

Damn good job and Damn good arrangement! Even though I think some HBCU funk would add some real excitement to it. Again, good stuff... and keep em' comin!

[miltonx1219]

That was...  awesome!

I like the chaotic sea of 'bone slides around 2:30

[masterjoker24]

LOL. THAT MADE ME GIGGLE. xD Im so proud to be in band.

[Apple94MTG]

Phenomenal!!!

[hnthunter]

very good

[tubitamayor1]

very very very very gooddddddddddd!!!!!!!!!!!

[TechnicolorTypeA]

lol they cut out almost all of the guitar solo.

Couldn't blow that fast I guess.

[lilpinkyjo]

You've gotta love the trumpet player holding on the high notes at 2:03 so everyone hears them :) Xx

[mjay1693]

This is very good. I absolutely love the huge crescendo at about 1:10. You have a lot of sousaphones and you could have done more work with then on the bassline in the beginning however around the second half they picked it up.

4.5/5
