[MrCrush12217]

@Joselrcblkops Are you from Gretna?

[Joselrcblkops]

playing this in wind emsemble....tuba part makes me feel like a drunk asain fat ass...

[frizz148]

that one person took an arrow to the knee and went raging and disliked every song that has to do with dragons

[12dance92]

i loved playing this song in high school!

[kiramyers12345]

Execellent!

[MrTodd623]

I listened to this while I was drawing dragons. Fuck yeah.

[likability1000]

@Tanker09396 I think it's between 5 and 6.

[Tanker09396]

What grade is this?

[Hemmingfish]

@Tanker09396 Grade 4.5

[Thompson7000]

Typo in title. GAH, TYPOS BOTHER ME!

[mdkeller99]

@Thompson7000  What typo? I don't see a typo! Unless you mean "rising dragons" should be capitalized!???

[Hemmingfish]

@mdkeller99 "Robert W >Smtih<"

[Ahlixe]

I played this my sophomore year of high school!

[ANGELramnus]

go us tuba players and how our solos are actually measures of rest!

[Spider2point0]

This song is as epic as the dragons that it depicts.

[vinxek]

@mooooooooimacow was it Bergenfield High School in Bergenfield, NJ?

[mooooooooimacow]

@vinxek not too sure, they went before i joined, but i know who to ask, i'll check next rehersal :)

[vinxek]

@mooooooooimacow I think so.

[mooooooooimacow]

@vinxek im in that band :)

[xSatashi]

Did anyone else hear how epic that oboe sounded?

[xxdysfunctionalkayxx]

Gahh. That flute part. I absolutely adore it. This man is brilliant. I could get lost in his music for hours.

[vinxek]

At my high school, a band from Australia visited and played this song. IT WAS SO EPIC.

[mooooooooimacow]

@vinxek by any chance was it the castle hill rsl youth wind orchestra?

[dapancakeprodegy]

robert smith is a fucking god

[iAltair]

Flutes. 'nuff said.

[wednesdayXfever]

@iAltair all the way. c;

[wednesdayXfever]

@iAltair allll the way.

[bandkid2513]

1 person here isn't a band person

[pandaloves17]

wish i could play this with an aweome band

[lolgoodbye69]

Guys come on now obviously the trombone is the best instrument ever.

[beautifuldisaster380]

@lolgoodbye69 You spelled flute wrong.

[namelesscrawdad]

@lolgoodbye69 you  didnt spell trumpet right

[lolgoodbye69]

Guys come on now obviously the trombone is the best instrument ever.

[xDBoredomTakesOverDx]

Thumbs up if u play B flat Clarinet :D ... I played "The Tempest" in 7th grade the clarinet part seemed to go on for hours :P

[broncostyle11]

Love It! I just wish it got to the "Point" faster. The song seems longer than it has to be. But Its great.

[DeLongPatrolOtter]

Now I really wanna do this piece. -flute player-

[indianajones703]

B flat clarinet FTW!

[mooooooooimacow]

love this piece, amazing to play. we take the meaning of "violent" too far in this piece

[italaugh83745]

Trumpets ARE the best instrument. Period.

[Trumpetweirdo]

@italaugh83745 100% TRUE(:

[bzybody22]

@italaugh83745 you dont know how honest you sound..... TRUMPET PLAYERS ROCK!!!!

[WynnLim95]

the song sounds like a flight of a dragon. mysterious and yet thrilling

[ColterWomack]

Oh my god! I'd just like to point out, I'm into metal music. But, this song... Oh my god!!! It just blew me away! Pretty much... If this song were a potato, it would a very good potato.

[trumpetgod3015]

@DannyBoyBari fair enough. Agreed :)

[trumpetgod3015]

Nobody knows what they are talking about, trumpets are the best instrument. Period.

[DannyBoyBari]

@trumpetgod3015 How about we just agree that music makes everything better.

[aznzeratul]

@trumpetgod3015 LOL typical brass player! HAHA

[Crazybitches1614]

FLUTES OMG SO BEAUTIFUL

[zoozoo96]

@Crazybitches1614 yeah too bad if you're not amazing at it, then you suck. there's no in-between for flute. either you sound good or you don't.

[drummergamer93]

Damn, go percussion.

[megabirdlove]

thumbs up for the awesome clarinet players of the world!

[djsamoa123]

Flute, that Is all

[ANGELramnus]

go tuba players! Excellant piece, I say, well done.

[PhizzyFairyNinja]

I really want to play this!!!!!!!

[Matthill121]

This guy always has 1 measure at the beginning that just creshendos into everything,

[PowerMetalEuphonist]

Could you upload Coldwater Crossing by Sweeney? I can't find any HQ versions.

[MultiMusician7]

This song is truly amazing! It should definitely be the theme song of its own movie!!!



[roselinabonnie1997]

This sounds like some of the music in Spirited Away, and The King And I done by dreamworks studio.

[spamodell]

TAIKO DRUMS!!! nothing wins more

[bandisbetter16]

OMG. FLUTE FTW! i really want to play this...like a lot! glisses like that are sooo much fun! :D the whole thing just sounds so gosh darn cool. love it!

[nicolastheridiculous]

[VindicusVore]

Ahhhh, sweet remembrance. By the gods I miss my old marching band.

[supermightyllama]

[pelegrino2007]

[AJB121212]

1 person was eaten by a dragon!

[TheGSutt]

@AJB121212 LOL!!!!! :-D

[AJB121212]

@AJB121212 i think the one person who disliked my comment was the one who was eaten by a dragon....

[screwinwithstuff24]

[nikkiAzn42]

[beardiesrule1]

i love flute solo!!!!! i played it in one of my bands

[AGENTBULB]

PERCUSSION FTW NO MATTER WHAT ANYONE SAYS ya kno some ppl say a girl doesnt normally play percussion. Especially a youn one. hey im 12 nd im the best percussionist in my band haha well the 7th garde part that is

[snowfire686]

@AGENTBULB

WOW,were one and the same!

[Halo3rockss]

@AGENTBULB you wouldn't have a part in the band without the wind instruments :) just sayin'

[Scoutman3100]

@Halo3rockss without percussion, you couldn't play a damn thing :) JUST SAYIN'

[Halo3rockss]

@Scoutman3100 nah i can play plenty places without percussion. percussion is just there to keep my tempo if i have no metronome. just sayin' my band plays in first hour without percussion. but we do have percussion.

[AGENTBULB]

@Halo3rockss Ha very true indeed :) All intruments play a big part in a band. Say if there were no wind intruments at all it wouldnt even be a band :)

[cassieboylover]

I get to meet Mr. Smith this summer!! I'm so excited!!! he's my idol :)

[RMKillinger21]

epic



[DeathTideWarrior]

it reminds me of ancient China. A magnificent garden where the dragons come past for peace and quiet. A woman who is sitting in a room by herself and gazing out into the beauty of her garden. Ans suddenly the dragons come through and turn the garden into a magical place. who else has a vision as beautiful as this?

[dcckidzone]

me to it is what i like so much about robert w smith he makes you make a mental vision

[snapperv]

the flute and harp duet section is absolutely awesome!

[lolblahavery]

el segundo high school made a marching show of this and its really good

[MsPichuTheOverlord]

i <3 the gong at 0:36!!!

[iriskiana]

Aahh! Itz soo fast at first!! And itz high for the trumpetz, I dnt thnk I cn play tht high on the trumpet. DX but it soundz like fun to play :) I wondr if my bnd teachr will let us play this piece of music?

[lyssagirl1]

I want to play this song so bad Dx

mostly because I play the flute =3

[Squirrelstar100]

@lyssagirl1 go flutes! whoo!

[allison14255]

I love this piece. I'm happy my school band can play this song, I play trumpet :D

[zoozoo96]

@allison14255 woooooooooh! go trumpet!

[RMKillinger21]

@zoozoo96 < dislike, flutes all the way!

[hirrio143]

I think is song is pretty good.... but Robert W Smith follows a pattern in his songs... fast part, slow part, fast part, slow down, speed up (or some slight variation)

[MrXeyonte]

@aleeinwonderland you obviously haven't heard brass band test pieces then haha! This is what a typical top brass band would put into a normal concert if it was arranged

Fantastic piece nonetheless, great music!

[aleeinwonderland]

I played this with my hs band last year. One of the most difficult pieces I have came across!

[Temporarily9]

I can see how this would make an awesome field show, if a long one. Maybe if modified to be split into three parts, that shouldn't be too difficult.

[HalosRiBBon]

@Temporarily9/watch?v=mtPNmLJL­2Pc

[dylbobtboner]

OMG! this is awesome!

[annabel2400]

such a good song <3 i wish me and the south pointe middle school wind ensemble can play this ^^

[Insanemusician333]

I don't know, it's probably just me . . . But french horn isn't loud enough at some parts. Anyways, this sounded great. I love the precise runs and the overall balance and intonation were excellent!

[dylbobtboner]

@Insanemusician333 i think that's a little thing called dynamics, lol

[spamodell]

Everything FTW

[ambiplat]

@zabuzato I think it's about a Korean military boat, so you were pretty darn close there!

[christinelee1996]

walau!!! if i can flow my flute untill this level....it would b great!!!!!

[Jlundy12]

Piccolo!!!!(: i played this song in Adv. Band Camp, piccolo had a big role in this song:)

[Poptartkiller24]

Thumbs up for flute!!!!

[1Superme1]

whats the grade level?

[Yourstohold03012010]

Trumpet and French Horn Fanfare!!!!!!! :D

[bamitssam1031]

[zabuzato]

[east1012000]

@zabuzato thats what i thought!! ha

[Jaxin30993]

I'm so glad I have band directors with good taste. Otherwise I never would have known about this piece.

[xilix1000]

OMG TO FAST

[iAltair]

Flute + Robert W. Smith = EPIC WIN. Done.

[beachbeatlesboys]

BARI SAX FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!

[souljaboy1496]

@beachbeatlesboys yes! i march, and am in my Wind Ensemble with it, best instrument ever.

[timesdaughter]

I'm not sure about it, but someone told me, the flute part was/should be played on a traditional chinese flute. Well, anyways: I really like the lower register of the flute and in terms of this I agree with stefsue6: flutes *are* sexy! ;)

[braceface180]

I play the tuba and this song has beast tuba parts in it.

[princesslenorastone]

oh my god. this... is amazing. I wish the flutes in our band could play like that :O

[braceface180]

@princesslenorastone I wish the flutes in my band could play like that too!

Awesome flute players ftw 

[fangirl112]

Flute = Epic

[Benderbot50]

my school marching band is performing an arrangement of this piece this season

[DrMrAgentMan]

[warsaw45]

percussion is beast especially pitch percussion go marimbas

[Kiannadogdemon]

oh. my god. that flute solo.

[24farmgal]

i really like the part at 0:40 to 2:20

[XxVazquezzJasonxX]

@koolmoedee95 i agree

[SapphirePixieDust]

i wish my brother's school can play this piece. they actually have all the instruments that are needed.

[cricketluvahh]

FRENCH HORN FTWWWWWWWWW

[mrm64]

or some variation of the sort. very impressive- the flute solo at the beginning

[snofienicful]

What band is playing this piece?, because they are very good

[horus0987]

oh i'd love to play this in our school, BUT, we do NOT have a harp, since we're so poor.

[ZachValkyrie]

If you have to you can always cheat and use a keyboard like we did.

ps: RWS = jesus

[zehero134]

@ZachValkyrie lol

[meatloaf939]

@horus0987 we dont either :(

[koolmoedee95]

TRUMPETS OWN

[AryanKid64]
