NSU Bombasto March 2005

[caseygblake]

I played 1st trombone in our high school band a hundred years ago and I loved this song because really featured the low brass sections--and it was a b@@@h to play well. Practice, practice!

[firebolt113]

This is one of the coolest marches for low brass, especially tuba. It is the most epic part, what with all the chromatic runs. I played this in 8th grade to.

[Mickeytimbales]

Its great this song hehe, the basses are so good hehe

[iam2ku4u]

I'm playing this in badn on flute, its challenging for a song made in the 1890's.

[cxetim]

You're pretty ignorant, aren't you?

[iam2ku4u]

everyone is ignorant and the song was made in 1895

[cxetim]

I meant in regards to the fact you said it was challenging for a piece written in the 1890's. If you can't draw my connotation from that, there's not much hope for you defending your intelligence.

[iam2ku4u]

It is a challenging song to play, I enjoy playing it in band too.

[briana1203]

i was at disney world and they were playing this on the dumbo ride...lol

[MarchingGeek13]

AWESOME piece love to play, I'm a trumpet and i actually like playing the runs, which is kind of wierd i usually like the playing loud part

[lalala5126]

ha! i love this song! i'm in 7th grade. i had to play this for hounor band! this is really good! the trombones rock! i however play the tenor sax. the chromatic runs are soooooo much fun in this song!!!

[briana1203]

i playd this 2nite in a concert and i rate us as about a 6 and them as like a 9 ! those runs are crazy . Im a bass clarinet player

[cdbrunningback]

of course we didn't play this during marching band season we've been playing it during concert season

[cdbrunningback]

low brass could have even shorter articulation though, but i understand how hard it is to play that piece short because i'm a junior and highschool and our school is playing that right now, i've got my part pretty much down solid now i'm a euphonium (baritone for those of you who don't know what a euphonium is)

[cdbrunningback]

nice job on a difficult piece, maybe a little more dynamics though, not a lot cause it already sounds very good.

[Clarinet07]

I just got this march from my unit.....the part is crazy.....

[Clarinet07]

This march is a woodwind's fantasy.....all those trills and the register.....

[thugbiziie]

I need to memorize the whole piece in 2 days =D

[WingZero91]

im playing this march next year :D

[jawharp1992]

I am a trombonist and I love this piece. I always get a nice workout with those chromatic scales.

[ghsmrz4eva]

Yeah, our low brass and low woodwinds enjoyed the chromatic scales too. :)

[JohnLennonCLIV]

Hah, I love doing all those chromatic runs. Trombones ftw! xD

[daveythewavey19]

eww. marching bands are the most unmusical groups imaginable besides maybe the mummers

[PotOpera]

Explain this please? I completely disagree.

[porkboi]

Yes, please explain.

People who don't open themselves to contrasting styles are NOT true musicians just so you know...

I'm guessing you DON'T appreciate music, no?

[eldertillernc8]

i  love this march! i played it my sophomore year in high school! bombasto is that march

[motleyfire]

[eldertillernc8]

[toronstganymede]
