[sonic7122]

@Nickcool1996 Woah, youtube glitch. I only sent one when I saw it. the others were errors.

[MnMDrummaboy]

PERCUSSION FOR THE WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DoubleRainbowCats]

Thumbs up if you played this in CBDA junior high symphonic band!

[WeaslysWizardWeezes]

the notes arent hard but you really have to count the rests

[xShigureSohma]

[AstridSaiga]

@xShigureSohma I know this is random, but love your username. Fruits Basket all the way. :) Though I personally love Kyo the most. ;)

Something's missing here...

[sonic7122]

@Nickcool1996 More trombones? More trombones.

[Nickcool1996]

@sonic7122

Nah, the marimba's missing D=

[sonic7122]

@Nickcool1996 It's there. It's just quiet.

[TheRatchet321]

I play the 4 metal piles in my band

[TehGreenDragon]

I can't hear the horns D:

[Trombone9856]

Playing this for cbda!!!! Can't wait for it!!!!!

[noellestar808]

This is such an awesome song! We started playing it in band today, and I absolutely love it!

[XoxSkateLoverxoX]

We're doing this song for concert band... It's arranged for at least 3 trombonists, and we have... count 'em... two. And can you HEAR the low brass here? We're screwed. So. Screwed.

[XxemosweetzxX]

Such an incredible song!!! I just played it in an honor band this past weekend :) -3 I adore the horn melody that just soars over the rest of the chaos in the song!!

[24farmgal]

oh my god....so epic....

[MrPhantomPanic]

Our honor band played this. So fun!

[ilovetraveling7]

Oh love this song...playing this in band right now....I love all these like indurstrial sounds and these like abrupt parts of silence ...this song is aweesome!!!!!!! ehhh not abrupt but like yyeaah

[2011gingers]

My school was one of the schools this was made for Conner Middle School directed by Jim Daughters

[MsBigman143]

Playin this on tuesday at a concert!!!!:)))) love this piece!!! Summer Creek!!!!!!!

[CHSlarsenSAX]

The USF concert band is playing this. It's so good.

[animagusprincess]

This song is so great, oh my God. We failed pretty hard at it in class today, but with some practise we could do it for concert (all those wacky percussion pieces would be way too hard to carry around to festivals/to Chicago on our band trip)! Love it, though. I may be getting the flute solo, too! (First chair second flute.)

[HaloxReachxGirl]

The random switches between 4/4 and 2/4 time threw me off at first, but now this song isn't that tough to play :)

[mypieguy217]

@kurosaki15ichi

My band is too and it shall be awesome

[OOSUTINDIINN]

This piece is pretty amazing. My high school select wind orchestra select just performed this, and it was awesome and fun. Tuba part is pretty cool, for tuba, which gets boring parts most commonly.

[rikuantu]

Band is playing this song for concrete band and i got the 4 metal piles. Trust me playing the four metal piles is harder then you think it is.. I've allready put dents into my lowest pile.

[sonic7122]

@87supertoaster That's pretty neat.

[TheRoobear62]

:D! My band class is playing this! (:

I'm in percussion and EVERYTIMEE they hit the metal pipes I flinchh. (:

[scarletthorsefly]

my friend broke a ton of mallets on the wood blocks XD and whenever i hit the pipes for the 4 metal piles part, the whole percussion section starts to smell like smoke

[HolyHooplahHailey]

so awesomely psyched to be playing this yeaaah

[TheiMad1996]

I love the sound of this song. I've never heard a concert piece like it!

[xx1grillz10xx]

I can't wait to play this next year. I have to play out that brass part though

[Lionshearth223]

At my school,we needed more percussionists for this piece. So a couple of woodwinds (including me) decided to help out. I got the vibraslap and the clang part :D sightreading is hella easy.

[ksbeasty809]

played with the top all region band and o my gosh it was amazing!!

[envirodaniel]

Is there any way you can upload a video with the individual parts separately? I'm the lead flute and soloist for this for my band, but I'm more of a 'Hear first then play' type of flutist, kinda having trouble with it. If there was a way you could record the different parts it may help many others too. Thanks!

[DeepBlueDream96]

Playing this in my high school band!

[dwytmusic]

@DoubleRainbowCats

CBDA? I'm in that band too!

[DoubleRainbowCats]

@dwytmusic yea! hopefully well play it as good as this

[DoubleRainbowCats]

[loussim]

@ thestratocaster13 lol, rite? Same here

[loussim]

Dayyyng!!!! That was good! That song is extremely hard

[KaylaNicoleVlog]

[ksbeasty809]

our region top band just played this and gah!!! love mackey

[Qwerty48121]

also named Virgin Asphalt Cocktail



[sonic7122]

@Qwerty48121 what

[Riven55555]

@sonic7122

seems simple enough

[McKennasAwesomeSauce]

I just think this song sounds just too fantastic when your actually playing it. :) Although it was a train wreck to sight read.

-one of the thousands of flute players.

[thestratocaster13]

@McKennasAwesomeSauce Oh gawd, sight reading this was terrible. lol. But once everybody gets the timing right is sounds amazing.

[50CaliberMusic]

Were doing this in are school band im a trumpet and the kid with the whip is always behind me it gets intense at some moments in the song playing it but its a great song that everyone enjoys playing

[thestratocaster13]

@50CaliberMusic Us trumpets always has to suffer with percussion right behind us, lol.

[pvhaxFury]

1:10 - 1:17 just sends chills down my spine.

[DemDemOrgy]

@pvhaxFury I know exactly how you feel.....but when you play it yourself in times that by 9000

[elamental199]

We only have 5 percussionists in our band. Our teacher decided it'd still be a good idea to play this...we're stealing percussionists from other bands XD

[Coooooooooolzful]

@elamental199 My director is taking the last chair people out of each section....

[dtxvsk]

Just played this at the PMEA District 11 High School Band Festival and hit it out of the park!

[chazliez88]

@dtxvsk oh hey :D same! i was first alto..... you?

[dtxvsk]

@chazliez88 fourth seat first clarinet

[TheIlovcrackers]

I get to play the xylophone! My school band is playing this for a competition in march. We only have six percussion people in the competition band so we have to pull people from the non percussion sections to play the other six partsXD its pretty insane though and sounds really good

[MaxtTheFox3]

We're playing this for UIL this year!

Ahh, Trombones! ;D

[TrIKzPR0D1GY]

I'm playing this song in my band for a festival at Bishop Dubourg and in Cincinnati. I play bass drum on it. The band that is playing this at my school is 7th and 8th graders and I'm in 6th so its pretty cool

[TomGirl1994]

Our band is playing this for UIL, the freshman tuba player can't seem to follow along tho, ugh! But it's SO much fun!

[DellyDavis98]

I played this song at the Midwest clinic and met John Mackey!

[N3M3SISWARM]

Ladies and gentlemen, i give you H

2:30

[joejonasluverM17]

LOVE THIS SONG <3

[mcmarshakk311]

Ya know Bluntz, I was kinda doubtful at first, but I guess people really like the song. Maybe it won't be so bad after all.

[sonic7122]

@mcmarshakk311 I told you, Ribs. It's swagtastic.

[rawrmemousie]

my friend broke three vibraslaps for this song

[sonic7122]

@rawrmemousie That's not something to be proud of, lol. Those things cost a pretty penny. ;-;

[emerisle25]

@sonic7122 they do, but sometimes you gotta do what you have to do to get the music just right...

[kurosaki15ichi]

My band class is playing this song for a concert: professionally!

[sydneylol9]

@kurosaki15ichi Mine too!!! What do you play? I'm a flute playyuhhhh

[aliont]

[mfighter96]

@aliont AJ is a pretty cool guy.

[xXjoubalXx]

My band going ti play dis did year

[buzzerbeater9000]

@xXjoubalXx wat?

[emerisle25]

@xXjoubalXx you will LOVE IT! especially percussionists. some literally play "piles of metal" and "metal bowls". it's awesome!

[taylorrenee96]

@emerisle25 Yes, I get to play the "4 Metal Piles" :D It's awesome, and II agree, percussion should like this. :) There's a bunch of really cool parts.

[emerisle25]

@taylorrenee96 my friend got to play the metal bowls. They kinda kept clanging together... they fixed the problem though lol. When we played it at Honor band, I actually got to meet John Mackey, and my band was the first time he'd ever heard the piece in person!

[taylorrenee96]

@emerisle25 That's really cool that you got to meet him!

[emerisle25]

@taylorrenee96 yeah he's pretty sweet. he's very short, only about 5'5" or so, and his head is square and kinda big for his body... he also likes to talk with his hands... lol he loved the piece when he heard it.

[Missclassycassy22]

Gulfport Admiral Band is playing this song this year. (: I'm so excited, i can't wait to learn it!!! <3

[tfrankl12]

@Zanavield I can't hear the clarinet part at all! Tell them to step it up! lol btw I just played this at a senior high school honors band festival

[tfrankl12]

also I met the composer. He's really short! and really skinny too lol

[JacobRoyce25]

@tfrankl12  same here! at UMD?

[tfrankl12]

@JacobRoyce25 exactly!

[JacobRoyce25]

@tfrankl12 Nice what instrument did you play?

[tfrankl12]

@JacobRoyce25 Clarinet. And you play trombone haha I just found you in the program

[emerisle25]

@JacobRoyce25 I played the clarinet at UMD this year too at Honor Band!

[emerisle25]

@tfrankl12 and his head is kinda big... literally lol

[Peter01Fett]

@Zanavield I highly doubt that, just trying to be realistic here. Could you provide any proof of your assumption?

[sonic7122]

@Zanavield I'm sorry, but I highly doubt this.

[AThousandSkys]

there are like 12 percussion parts, i wish i was playing one of them lol

[emerisle25]

@AThousandSkys one of them is "piles of metal" lol

[taylorrenee96]

@emerisle25 "4 Metal Piles." :D Ha I get to play it, and I love it!

[AThousandSkys]

My band director is thinking about buying this, and i told him to go for it! it sounds cool.

[Tr0mb0n3sRdaB35t]

playing this was so fun

[awey271]

Percussion part is awesome, even tho i play bass cclarinet
