Whoever says that American children are slackers or whatever people say.This is proof that children are good all you have to do is guide them in the right direction.
REALLY rushed. slow the pace down. but pretty good. we just played this song in a parade today, the highschool band. :) we went through the town, and it was really jazzy sounding. this would sound more jazzy with a slower pace.
While it is rather fast, nevertheless it's great to educate the youth of today regarding the classics of yesteryear ! Don't blame the kids on the speed ..........blame the teacher! The band are brilliant!
my marching band is honestly better no offense plus we are playing this song with no music what so ever i mean we play by ear and for 2 weeks we are doing good already got the whole thing memorized and have the drill on the field o yea i play trumpet and got the 1 main solo in this song
This band sounds amazing for middle school. I've heard high school bands that don't sound nearly this good. The horns are really on pitch and the rhythm is good for such young players.
I think that the guitarist should have been keeping a beat while he was soloing. He probably should have not played so many notes. He got really really off
I think Mr. Z should have conducted the whole thing, they couldn't stay in time but still good, but the soloists definitely should have memorized there parts.
It's actually not far off the original, which is kind of loose. I think these kids do a great job for being so young. I just happened to find this while looking for the Ides of March version.
doing it again this year, i will be apart of it.

haha, I love how someone said Czarnecki has no feeling for the piece (he's done it for 3 years in a row now...)
By the way, everyone in this video is now either a junior or a senior.
The stage band has no freshmen, 3 sophomores I believe (one on piano, one on bells, one on trombone)
There is one junior trombone I think. Can't remember trumpets. All saxophones are seniors except for Tyler.

@salsadestroyer Millburn must be a crappy school since most of you spell as about as well as a third grade dropout with Down syndrome.

The guitar solo isn't even close to the original by Jim Peterik. It's on Youtube, so check it out to see how it's supposed to be played.
