[bandgeek89]

Gymnasiums aren't always good for performances

[musicismymotive]

@MrBroMAK actually they are going about 160 bpm (whipped out the metronome) which is acceptable for vivace

[ZhangsterDuck]

sightread this a few weeks ago at tempo (post exams stress - does crazy things to you). we hit the first note and the last note...and a few others in between... xD twas epic...

[jbluna2]

i think it might be a tad too fast......

[roccorock997]

I remember playing this as part of my freshman year's marching band show.

[xXJawruWolfXx]

[xXJawruWolfXx]

@xXJawruWolfXx and another thing I just noticed, at :41 the Oboes sound Like Ducks/gooses, It's awesome! :D

[Juntcagio]

it was really cool so i like the song

[Aglover453]

our schools playing like this and we go like slow and it sounds nothing like this

[LightSeagull]

I'm playing this in band at my high school, and i absolutely love it - honestly.

and we take it even faster than this.

not so much faster, but definitely faster, it's crazy.

but loveable.. you know?

and i'm not even playing in wind ensemble!

great video, thank you :)

good job but the horns could not play the off beats so they had to play 8th notes....

[cuttinhorse101]

I've played this before at an honor band, this song reminds of the Visa commericals

[Lavenderlight]
