[dsyglym]

[deadfishjunkie1]

FLUTTERTOUNGUE!!!!

[MysteryClown000]

damn son dem drums is wack!

[HazelBath09]

does anyone know where I can buy/find a recording of this peice so that I can practice?? a grateful musician.

[jeremiah168lms]

I played this in high school! I do agree it was a bit slow. But that's okay! :D

[kokoklownanr]

playing the orchestral version of this :D

[madisonxmurray]

trombones, french horns, and the bassoon

LOVE THEM.

[clhscabandgeek32]

played it at all-county

it's a fun piece.

[macbookpro94]

This is our opener to our marching show this year! It is arranged differently for our band though.

[cass3rz]

This is a great piece. In 05 it was the opener to our field show along with Samuel R Hazo's Ride; talk about a workout. Of course it was arranged slightly different, and our director didn't let us yell slava at the end.lol

Absolutely love the blend of the small woodwind group and the trombones and trumpets are so playful and hilarious.

Great overall, I feel bad for the horn player who totally biffs the high note 2:10 .. tired chops are a killer!

[emoClarinetist]

those trombone players are to die for! especially the soloist. fantastic.

nice bassoon player, btw. lmao.

[TheyWaitAtTheDoor]

Wow! I thought the video sound quality would be bad but this is a good video and the band is great as well!

[Thedearster]

i want to go to butler and study music.

[Stunneduck44]

@Thedearster do it

[av1valle]

this a bit slow............

[AndrewMcgheee]

wow these french horns were good

[thebassman12]

that was excellent

[JoNyB0i]

i love this piece, we're playing it this year for our spring concert, one of my all time favorites

[RaspberryRainbowS]

i played this two years ago almost ... it was great fun, but i think it was an arrangement, but it sounds identical so idk.

[nathanmadey]

i love this song but its feels kinda slow to me...maybe thats because my highschool band director got excited when we played it lmao

[fish1outta1water]

we sight read this today, it was SO hard but so amazing :-)

[persondude2]

that's what she said (the second part)

[kickinphillysugar]

hahah nice one

[umdterp1131]

lol

[tzfootfairy]

that was a very nice performance, we're playing that in my band right now XD and its so hard but its loads of fun!

[LinnDamnit]

We played it much faster at my school :P

[greatfungi]

they're actually playing it slightly above the written tempo. it says 1/4 = 144. they're around 147-8

[PenguinPunk172]

The best ive ever heard this was my high school county band last year, I sounded so perfect when listening to it after the performance.

[gabi7988]

tune that soprano sax for god sakes.could you play any sharper? clean your articulations! slava is a very hard piece to refine and work out the bugs but it really shouldnt be played without a serious regard for rhythmic precision. Notice the distinct difference Bernstein wanted to hear between accents (roof tops) and staccatos. this ensemble shows no audible difference between these articulations. its one thing to play this piece and its another thing to play it right. all over the place!

[lilaquadude85]

along with the soprano sax SOLI there is an electric guitar with it soo it was probably the intonation between the two, but i'm sure you probably knew that already

[A7XLicksMyNuts]

Don't be such a fucking stuck up band nerd. Christ sake, not every performance is a great reflection of how a band plays.

[XxXjonellyXxX]

coolio.

i wonder if mrs. crow or mr. max or mrs. megan or any of the other teachers guys are in that...

[evilmice]

... I wish more people would utilize the other alternatives for the solo in the middle. I mean, as fun and glorious as this piece is, constantly rehearsing the middle section because a Soprano Saxophone is more accessible (and incredibly out of tune) more often hurts the piece then not.

Otherwise, fantastic :)

[dizzybanddd]

I love this song! We're playing it in our Wind Symphony right now.

[johnnytofu]

Love this song we had to play it as the last song for my high school wind ensemble tryout pretty hard but a great song none the less

[nhdelgado]

Great job. Thanx for posting. We're playing this in my Wind Ensemble as well. A little more confidence to the horns on those high notes. Challenging piece, but really fun to play.

[hitemp]

i played this with the tmea all state symphonic band

[brianKbruner]

I love this song. We played it twice in our HS marching band in '84 and '88.

[lenmetallica]

awesome peice, im playing the guitar solo part at the 7/8 s parts in my school band

[mikeejm]

Sounds really good, Solos are good, not the Sax solos though. this piece is super hard im playing it now. Love the pause before the ending 7/8

[piccologirl]

Pretty decent performance, a little shaky. Actually, the tempo is almost exactly where it needs to be according to the score, maybe two clicks slow. A couple of individual section problems, but the ensemble sound is good. Is this high school or collegiate?

Either way, THANK YOU for posting this. I'm a music major, using this piece for conducting, and this is the only good recording I can find anywhere without paying money (which is in short supply). Thanks so much!

[EkimGram]

Very decent performance - I've played this before and it's such a fun piece (on the cornet part.) That 7/8 part is a blast!

[sikkwitit42]

there IS an electric guitar in this, for the 7/8 section. Really great piece, based on Russia.

[Medamina]

We're playing this in school, and it's such a fun piece! I love it! :)

[tambelina01]

wow nice piece.seems fun :]

[c0rv377]

Great song. I imagine this ensemble is very talented (at least able to play this, anyway)... I would expect a little more musicality out of such a group. Definitely the best recording I've found up here, though. Good job.

[SilentStorm5]

I love this song! I got to play it as an Honor band member for the Little Rock Wind Symphony! I was 3rd Euphonium! Man this song is so much fun! The 7/8 section sounds cool once you get the tempo.

[tubista21]

very good, bravisimo!

[TimeSignatureManiaq]

I can hear a guitar...

[jrobinMD]

damn saxes choked

[langleywil]

The tempo was too slow. The ensemble appears to be capable of taking this piece to the next level. Intonation was off, but that happens. This is one of the best recordings though, so thanks for posting....

[scottiehall]

there's no guitar in this.

[TheresNoEinALLI]

Yes there is. It is written in the score but whether or not there is one playing here I'm not sure. The guitar is supposed to be the main instrument for the solo in the 7/8 section.

[NickSing3]

hey, sounds pretty good

just gotta get the soprano sax and guitar in tune during the solo

great 1st cornet

[AmbularNYC]

I love this song! Thanks for putting it up.
