Im pretty sure the reason they played it so slow was because of where they played it - at that mall, it's very open and all the sounds would just blend together had they played it original speed..just saying
My bands playing this i play the bongos nd anvil for this its pretty easy but our grunters grunt like pussys it annoys us big and ballzy is how this song is suppoused to b played
the way we do this is everytime u have melody you stand up and we go probably 3 times faster then this...then we do it as an encore song and we go double time haha it really kills the knees hahaha
@Snowball2202 who cares if they're dragging it? it wouldn't have sounded any better at the right tempo. Harold Walters murdered music with this piece.
I'm nearly 50 - I played this as a kid! It's an old 'Brass Band' number from England - I remember every note! We played it to close every Christmas Concert - we were usually so drunk that we played from memory! Astonishing that our type of music has died but this old 'standby' is now a 'classic'! Ha ha - enjoy!
My alma mater played this when I was in school, recently had their end of the year awards and they played it again this year, we are way smaller than this and I love hearing it from a band with a bigger variety of instruments
well i wouldn't say instant concert is a hard song ... It's okay :) I play drums and our concert band thought we should play it much faster ... but okay i see you're a little bit younger than us then it's okay :)
My band is playing this song,And yes its not easy and yes it takes practice, for sure. Me myself right now is playing Bass for an Orchestral version of it. And we can play right to speed. Plus we are 8th graders. Keep up the good work and you guys can do it.
I'm guessing this band is still working on this piece at the time of playing as it should normally be played a little faster. But thats ok, it takes a little time to get used to this piece, especially for less experienced players.
I played first trumpet in my school band and we've been playing this piece for years, its a real crowd favourite second only to Hootenanny :)
i guess maybe they were still working on it cause my band just got this piece and we went slow to get fingerings and speeds down but we still need A LOT of practice and we playing this piece in a week not a smart idea of my band director i kno lol
The man is putting way to much pressure in his self
