I just got through playing in the pit orchestra of the musical Chicago and I just realized that there are so many little licks they nabbed from this song.
im an eighth grader. just cuz i made it into the all of southern california honor band for grades 6-9 she making me play this for the whole school and i have a week. shit.
@2BunnyReturns The quintet is part of a larger band called the RAF Central Band, They are all serving members of the Royal Air Force in the UK, so they didnt pick the name for no reason, its their military band.
@2BunnyReturns Not really. Royal Air Force is the military name, just like US Army, SAS or Navy Seals. If any one of these military networks had a band then they would be called US Army (Location) Band. In this case, Central refers to the London base, thus the main "central" band of the Royal Air Force.
@2BunnyReturns Dont mock the RAF... they have done more for anyone else than you could ever imagine. Get some research done before you post silly things like this.
Ignorant, huh? I'm not the one that blatantly ignored the question at hand. Ladies and Gentlemens, that makes ME ignorant! That makes SOOOO much sense too, LOL! ☺
I said that you said "Ignorance is Bliss" because you ignored the question, here's how:
You said, "apart from the fact that it just doesn't, the royal air force is far better.", so I asked, "What doesn't do what?", and you replied (blatantly ignoring the question) with your nonsense about "ignorant americans".
My advice to you would be to calm down your grouchiness and not dig yourself in a deeper hole ☺.
Great performance all round. The tuba player went down to the low C at the end and I was waiting to see if he would go for the Bb, but he took that up the octave. It has to be a good day to get a good low Bb on an Eb tuba! But well done!
lol... charming performance... I don't know though... Everyone seemed nervous... The only one that came across as normal is the trumpet player on the far left (our far left). Great job though...
Well done mpmcd81. I'm sure you could teach this tuba player a thing or two. Especially your beautiful playing of J. S. Bach Air and Bourree for Solo Tuba. Wow
And I suppose that you are even marginally competent on a brass instrument.
Since I have no reason to believe that you have ever mastered any profession, I really don't have to give a damn about anything that comes out of your mouth.
My videos are there for me to use as benchmarks as I get back into playing, nothing more and nothing less. If you don't like them, then screw yourself, tinker.
One other thing. While the Arkansas brass are not overall musicians on this calibre they have a real understanding of dixieland and on this particular piece really outdid the RAF quintet.
Check it out for yourself and you might understand why I think this is a little straight.
Not at all. They're terrific players and never said they were anything but. They're just too straight for the style of this song. I'm sorry dixieland is just a little different animal, and these guys sound like they don't play dixieland as their bread and butter.
I put the horn down for two years while getting an engineering job that the engineering equivalent of winning the NY Phliharmonic audition. I'm the first internal hire Vanderbilt has made in the engineering school in 20+ years.
Cute - Anyone remember Les Jackson - who could, on the concert platform, play Amazing Grace by playing a bass note and singing the melody and hum a descant! A legend in "B" band......
Look it up, there is actually a shirt that says "TUBA HERO" and has a tuba in the same format as the guitar. I'm gonna get it when I can.

Right. "US Army" sounds a lot more mature than "Royal AirForce", sounds almost like from a young children's book or something, LOL!
