[9cookie2monster]

everybody that hated this should be DICK SLAPED 

[13302christopher]

@9cookie2monster back to you biatch

[maestroblake]

[66V12]

The Trombone for this is so fun!

[bcgrote]

Makes me want to read John Varley again!

[TheDominatrex]

i have to play this on the flute....i need soooo much help:(

[jonnyoxygen18]

Euphonium.

Sorry, didn't think it was mentioned enough in the previous posts.

[lilboy803]

in storm an sunshine is way better

[maestroblake]

@lilboy803 i agree



[biddobop]

The euphonium part for this is SO much fun to play! It's good to hear a piece that really features the euphonium.

[docsprincess355]

we are playing this, its soooooo much fun

[siLveRscOpe13x]

I love when a composer exploits Euphonium. :)

[JamesTJoplin]

@siLveRscOpe13x I don't think that that' a Euphonium. I think it's a Trombone. But hey, they are both great instuments

[Mrandolph422]

@JamesTJoplin Its a Euph.onium

[Mrandolph422]

@JamesTJoplin Its a Euphonium

[Largo64]

@JamesTJoplin When I played it, it was a baritone horn. Our band didn't have a euphonium. But it definitely was not a trombone. That was nearly fifty years ago now! This was one of my favorite marches.

[pastrami23]

Loara ftw also snare is way to heavy and the tempo kinda ruins the piece

[chrisbrownsgirl4L]

My school is playing this

Barbara ingram school for the arts yeahhh (:

[simpson1045]

We have to play this in our High School band... and MEMORIZE IT TO PREFORM IN FRONT OF THE WHOLE TOWN!!!!

[GetTiefBlauAndDie]

@simpson1045 Awesome.

Now try marching.

[simpson1045]

@GetTiefBlauAndDie ya we do have to do that too

[TheRatsCats]

My wife played this in a US Army band back in the early 1970s. They all swore the composer was on acid. It really was one of the hardest marches they played, she says. I wonder if the composer can hold a composition in a key for more than 16 measures?

[bcisit]

more lows!!!

[bobareebop]

This was our parade march in high school. This tempo is REALLY fast.

[miarocks]

Whoa, Wilbur, where's the fire? Tempo WAY too fast, this march is not even close to marchable... more like a run..... makes for some messy playing due to that "I gotta catch up" feeling. Rookie conductor/director?

[VKDM8687]

Ummmmmmmmmmm...this was good?? WAY too fast...and snare drummer needs to tighten it up a bit. Like more than a bit.

[cannon014]

LOL our wind ensemble is 5th in the nation!

[Matt123ttam]

hahah ours is first

[danielwills93]

i thought this was suppose to be erraticly fast? isnt it a 'screamer' march? Great performance, needs a little work but a great try this time :)

[GeneGaudette]

Very impressive performance. And I though my high school wind ensemble was good (that was back in the 1970s). Well done.

[mexhatdancer]

the atacks to the high notes for trombon is pritty bad and there not realy blending that well but its a hard as hell song and other than thats its pritty good

[coolgeorgiaboy]

AWFUL..NEEDS LOTS MORE WORK

[TheBreaker44]

articulation is lass than stellar and the tempo is erratic/faster than needed-O-'

freshman year march [:

[jpeanrkode]

Would not have left out the trumpet/clarinet/flute runs first time thru the first strain. Other than that, great performance of a killer march!

[trom120]

For those who say this is too fast, you are all a bunch of cry babies. Haha, j/k. Seriously, though, can you imagine an infantry unit marching at this pace?

[Allumionparra]

Oh my gosh, I fear for my tongue now... We're playing this in our band, and we're going to play it for the parades... And I'm new to the high school band, being close to first chair... *cries silently*

[mike2007gsu]

lol,why is it so slow?

[FistMeTV]

loara 1962 sounded wayy better than this crap

[miarocks]

@FistMeTV: Are you sure that you don't mean Loara 1968 Purple Carnival band? I'm not sure the school was even open in '62, and even if it was, they probably didn't have a marching band together yet (I'm Loara band class of '78). Whatever year it was, I definitely agree, Loara owned the marching scene in So Cal for quite a few years under Rick Marino.

[Rich1beast]

Sounds like someone is afraid to tongue.

[tbonezrule91]

being a trombonist in the section when this piece was played I can safely say that it should NEVER be played this fast. EVER!

[redantuba09]

Yes it should!!!!

Sounds better faster.

[66V12]

@tbonezrule91 It's fun to play this fast on Trombone though. That is... If you can sound good playing it.

[BraydenHelgen]

wow totally rushed... lol our band better than that

[gthlvrmx]

DAMN! fast ey? jajaaja my god...poor trombones :P

[Audinos]

This seems rather fast.
