Thank you for posting this - I played this way back in middle school in 1971 and to this day still remember how to play the flute part.

[xXTenshiFanXxTobi]

This song is so awesome :D I'm so happy im playing the 2nd clarinet part ! And is it sad that the band im in is all 7th graders ATM going to 8th? o_O

[MHManiac1527]

I played this song as a 9th grader and again this year as a 10th grader for graduation

[YelloMariah]

I love this song. I'm frosh playing this with our band. Hopefully we sound this good. I love how the lower instruments sound at measure H, for anybody who has seen the sheet music. :) For anybody who doesn't know, its at 4:10

GO EUPHONIUM SOLO 00:29-00:37

[cole2973]

i really like it, buti can't the melody that much, like the trumpets

[ShikibuSan]

This is utterly nostalgic... I remember playing this.

[ohnmoj]

good teamwork, dynamics, and pride.

need to improve rhythmic accuracy, tempo, and facial expression

[TheWindowsComputer]

omg, no piccolo?????

[legendofzeldafanatic]

Heh, my band is playing this on for our Spring Concert on Monday. How come I don't hear a timpani?

[psymaster1234]

Must be a very good band, cause at our school we're playing it and we are Symphonic Band

[alexismaetaylor]

woahh so fast !!

i play this with my school band haha .

[ToriVenom]

jeez..sounds like rushing in the beginning..maybe our band director slowed the tempo..or maybe It just diffrent hearing it and playing it

[darkstarjondabomb]

i played 2nd trombone it was kinda hard

[syracuseman94]

really...first bone is easy

[tamtamtam]

This was one of my favorite songs that we played in middle school back in 1993 :)

[rainbowgirlroxx]

I played this piece

at the Kodak Theater along with the

LAUSD Honors Symphonic Band

8th grade yr.

Trumpet.

Good Day.

[bre2cocoalove]

[STFUJenko]

[VanAdriaanWilliams]

[ghostie7790]

omg the flute part to this song is so difficut. i have to play it in our next concert... which of course, is why i looked it up. lol

[littleasianboy1296]

not really and was in 7th grade when i played it.. haha fail.

[Flycat05]

[grandmatravels]

[hiramimundo]

lol I Like how the baby cries at the ending

[TailsTwoTails444]

my MIDDLE SCHOOL band is playing this.

owned.

<3

[dogluver714]

Good for your Middle School. But that doesn't mean that it has to necessarily sound wonderful.

But I hope you enjoy playing it :).

[lahainaluna2010]

wow you guys sound really good!! i hope we can play as well as you guys for our Spring Concert on March 16....Chee Lahainaluna High School!!

[kathrynhillary]

i totally remeber playing this. if i squint hard enough i can see myself. hehe. i think 2009 year's concert band is better than in this video, but this isn't bad.

[iluvkarl1010]

it's not technical its just fast. It gets technical in the middle section tho so ur right bout that. you guys did well! our concert band is playing that and i hope it sounds this good

[MedicoAssistent]

I like this piece very much. I, like many of you, played this back in Jr. High and have fond memories of it. It's a fairly technical piece for younger bands. Looking at some of the other videos by other bands, this is one of the better ones. I'd love to hear if performed by a professional group to actually hear the piece at its highest potential.

[kaleyx666]

ugh i just started flute five months ago and omg my band teacher gave this to us and i am having sooo much trouble on it

[xooxconfusedlove]

we are playing this. we sight read it today for the first time.

haha. i cant say im fond of the song though,

although your band sounds amazing. =)

we have such a small low section (and our tuba cant read music =/)

im not sure how this will sound for us.

im in freshmen band, only froshies in it.

[ImAHappyRock]

WOW! THIS is really good! kinda monotone tho... low musicality...

[robogoat23]

woodwinds are very much in tune! I played this song when I was in High School. I played the Oboe in this song and it was beautiful... Spent lots of time making sure the woodwinds were in tune. Clarinets have a lot of high pitches in this song, Ie; High C,D,E and so on. Very nice woodwind sound! Tempo is a little fast for my liking though.

[ezekiel13]

If only our band was this big.

We have 5 trumpets, 2 tubas, 2 baritones, 2 mellophones, 1 trombone, 2 alto saxophones, 1 tenor saxophone, 2 clarinets, and 1 piccolo flute.

We're VERY loud, being as small as we are though.

[monkeyrilla]

dam yall were low on percussionists

how many yall have?

[scoopy81880]

woodwind section was ver loud, but in tune so that is awsome...good job overall though, kinda reminded me o when i played this

[jsnchoo2]

Hey!1st clarinet 1st chair clarinet in 7th grade-8th grade Iowa honors band so I'm just say a few things about your playing (constructive critisism) or just comments.

1.Trumpets and Flutes were very well in tune.

2.Very good tempo

3.Precussion is just rushing just a bit.

4.Articulation is very nice. Beautiful sound.

5.Players should NOT look at their music too much. Look at the conducter to tell when to be cut off and such.

other then that, FABULOUS band. Congradulation on your playing

[TUNDRA2529]

percussion had to sightread the music pretty much cause we were more working on marchin stuff. Plus we were short on percussionists so we have all our good ones in symphonic band.

[geoffy8888]

sounds like there are no low reeds, our band is playin this song in carrollton tx! our director says da low sounds are da most important like tuba and stuff

[lincolnband]

yeah. if you could see the band better, you would see that our low sound is comprised of one tuba, two baritones, five trombones, three bass clarinets, and two basoons. that's thirteen low instrument players. I'm pretty sure we have thirteen flute players alone, and then you add on the eight clarinets, and 16 trumpets.

we try!

[bobbert20]

wow... your band is really big compaired to ours... my school is really really small and we have 1 tuba, 2 trombones, and a bassoon as our low section... play the tuba but sometimes switch to the baritone when needed

[miamidolphins2011]

may i suggest playing with a slower tempo in the middle.

we just played this song for district festival and it takes us approxiametly 10 mins. to get all the way through

beautiful sound though.

please let me know what you think

[tRoM2dAbOne]

yeah, it sounds rushed. and wen we play this song, our conductor picks on the tempo and dynamics alot!

[euphonium666pally]

we play this song for 9-12th

love the baritone part

[tRoM2dAbOne]

is it cool? cuz we dont have a baritone in our band so i have to play it on trombone especieally at E!

[euphonium666pally]

guess u can play the solo at e but its hard doing the brass solo then going to the solo at e thats why the baritones dont play the brass solo so they can play at e

[tRoM2dAbOne]

wait, its a solo? kewl!

[HDOG]

so those are ninth graders?? wow props haha most bands who do this song are symphonic bands

[lincolnband]

ninth and tenth graders.

[iluvnrepuyan]

what! we're playing this song and we're only 8th and 7th graders! actually its good song! i like thAt it was fast and very catchy (i play trombone). i can alo play this song on the piano! its high! you guys sound well! hope we sound like you guys at our upcoming bandfest!

[lincolnband]

this was amidst doing our marching show.

but yeah it's a really cool song.
