wait you were the principal clarinetist for this? did you sit next to Will Myers this year at senior districts? (I was 2nd clarinet when we did this I think)

P.S. looks like Mr. Martin's "principal" thing caught on :D

[sooj55]

@boombox129 Yes I was the principal clarinetist for this. I was in senior districts this year... I think I sat next to him... I'm kinda bad with names though.

[boombox129]

@sooj55 yea, he was playing hangman with the principal 3rd clarinetist. I was 2nd clarinet 3rd chair and I recognized you from junior districts.

[sooj55]

@boombox129 Haha yup that was funny I played hangman with them for like 2 minutes and then spaced out. Me and auditions= bad. So I kinda failed and ended up being a 3rd...

[boombox129]

@sooj55 yea, I missed 1st clarinet by 1 point and since like 90% of the 1sts had a 92, I would have been like 1st clarinet 4th chair...SO CLOSE. Lets see how it goes for us next year.

[Roxas70]

=O @55 i heard a squeek XD it sounds good though my band is playing this 

[DJHyena13]

=w= Gotta love that Milking Song.

One and only Bass Clar. FTW :D

[animenekogirl13]

7-9?! i was in grade 10 when i played this. i love the first movement. :]

[911Pauline]

SHAT I WAS IN DISS I PLAY DAH TRUMPET UNO??

[xtheresaxo]

ahh :D

i played this. i had the flute soul in eriskay <3

[albinonoisemaker]

What happened to the 3rd part? The Milking song was a bit boring, I'll admit, but you guys sounded amazing through the whole thing except part 3. Good job anyway getting a fantastic recording of this up!

[chocaddictive0428]

hahhah!!! our school band just started playing this(im a sophomore now) so I looked it up and found THIS little magic >< oh so many memories.

I remember you!!! I remember the conductor making you play the solo over and over again. I was a third clarinetist by the way xD

[sooj55]

@chocaddictive0428 Haha yup. I remember that. I was such a horrified principal clarinet player xD.

[jointheblackparade14]

I was 1st chair trumpet on this piece and had the solo! It is so nice to hear it again! Ahh the memories from band camp...

[karategirl1992bb]

I am glad you put this up. My high school band is playing this song soon, and I can't find any other recordings that include the third movement!

[splashinghippos]

We are playing this right now in band (9th grade) We have a total of 4 clarinets... Im the only first, i know how ya feel! It sounded really good. The eriskay love lilt is pretty hard to count and be heard! the soloist did amazing!

[Jindragon33]

Very nice

[weekendDISASTER]

sweet! My band is playing the for festival this year. It's pretty sweet. I had no idea the clarinets had such cool parts. I'm a baritone myself :)

[ShadowsofFate]

OMG! I was 4th chair flute for this piece! I'm so excited to find it on YouTube, especially after we never got a recording.

<333

[sooj55]

really? Did you order one? I ordered mine and got it 2 months after our concert...

[ShadowsofFate]

We did order one, but they said that they were no longer in stock... or something stupid like that. We never got one, but at least they didn't charge my mom for it.

[TheDeeAlexExperience]

They've made a string arrangement for this piece, and we're playing it in my chamber orchestra!

[FFXfan010]

I actually like this song haha I heard our school band rehearsing it in the band room n I said "wow that sounds pretty cool!"...well I'm in orchestra myself lol but for a band song, I really like it :)

[CancorseTV1]

Awsome in playing this in grade 10 band right now :)

[poots4you]

Wow! When your not actually playing it with the band you can hear alot more than just your section! That was pretty dagum great, man!! My favorite movement is the second one- An Eriskay Love Lilt! Love it! Yall did really good! I can't wait for my school to go to contest!!

[Sprockslol]

are there voice parts in the last movement? we don't have that in our arrangement.

[sooj55]

no there are no vocal parts in the last movement

[splashinghippos]

@sooj55

it totally sounds like there is!! its so cool what bands can do :)

[aisharocksursocks]

omg i loved this so so much when we played it last year!! its so good! i like the last movement the most.

[Lou1ger]

I played 2nd clarinet in this!!! : ) this was probably my favourite of all the pieces

[swimfanforeva]

hey...at 1:51, did anyone else notice the french horns at like 1:51? is it just me or are they like...slow by half a beat?

[swimfanforeva]

1sstt tttrrooommmbboooneee!!!! =D love this song lol...or the first movement anyway =P

[BaBiJaY53]

I heard a clarinet squeak o.O

yeah were playing this song for our concert band.I love it :)

[XplicitAzn]

Milking Song&Road to the Isles <3

[dragonruler978]

Clarinets horribly out of tune.

Everything was LOUD.

[sooj55]

I know I was first chair clarinet and there were 30 of us so it was basically impossible to tune. the band had like 110 people in it.

[brisbanerail]

That's for sure, hardly dynamic range at all. Tuning was terrible, it doesn't matter how many players there are if you have good musicianship, you can tune your instrument, just listen to it. No matter if you're playing 1st, 2nd or 3rd parts! Although, enough negative, this has to be the best version I've located on youtube.

[danrtrumpet]

omg i played first trumpet in this!

[bchin199]

Like 3rd trumpet 2nd to last chair in this

[sooj55]

sweet! It was a good experience for everyone and next year I'm auditioning for senior districts.

[boombox129]

wait you're 1st clarinet right? remember the 2nd seat right next to you and how he used to steal the 6th clarinet's thumb rest? well he took it and lost it

[sooj55]

yes i was. I kept messing up in rehersal I'm like uh oh better do it right in the concert!! oh yes I do remember that!! he was like "don't tell them" lol

[qw5553]

The conductor wouldnt let us run through the piece until we actually played it in the concert.

[boombox129]

omg this is alex isnt it...2nd clarinet noob lawl

[qw5553]

I was right behind you, and you obviously dont know how the 1st, 2nd , and 3rd clarinetists were placed. Someone please explain it to this "noob".

[sooj55]

do you guys want me to add the rest of the concert? I can if u want.

[qw5553]

yeah, that would be GREAT! Thanks a lot!

[doopeydoh]

YES ADD REST OF CONCERT PLZ

[sooj55]

i will try. my computer sucks so bad that it doesn't always like me to make video files.

[bunbundaisy]

wasn't it fun? I was in it too! The director was a bit harsh wasn't he?

[sooj55]

it was awesome! it was freaky being first chair clarinet though. My friends and I were paniced since we didn't run through anything before the concert lol.

[qw5553]

you did great though, if i remember you correctly

[sooj55]

what chairs were you guys? I really don't care but I was just wondering cause I might remember you.

[qw5553]

you wouldnt remember me, i was 6th or 7th chair...

[zofrea1]

Nice job, playing this for school band.

[sooj55]

thanks! we had one day to prepare for this so it would have been better if we had more time.
