[shakezillahungry]

lmao no offense but it sounds chinese for some reason O.o

[lello1114]

I have played this song and have no doubt that it is one of the most enjoyable pieces of music but when played by this band the climaxes do not stand out and at times it sounds like a big mess of sounds, the big "ahhh" at the end had no anger or volume, it just sounded like one continuous note. As for the solo she can work a little on her high and low note transitions. Flutes, learn to count.

[xRaspberryVenomx]

I realize that a group like this wouldn't go crazy when it came to the singing part, especially at the end.. but we played this today equally as well and went mad on crescendos and the singing lol. Love this piece! One of my all time favorites!! (: I played the ocarina for this ti was awesome!

[Aurthurcod111]

I played the ocarina part on this in my highschool band. =)

[luckygirl123544]

it was ok...i think my band is better though, we are playing this song for our next concert, our drummers sound really awsome...it sounds alot cooler with a real ocarina also, or with a flute playing the ocarina part if you don't have an ocarina

[it0wont0be0long]

hey faggot your band is awfulas fuck and youre terrible at your instrument

[truecolorgirl]

oh they do the drum solo but they do it really slow...

and our is way cooler cuz its faster!!!!!!

and like bam in your face

[truecolorgirl]

omg omg omg omg omg im a middle schooler and we play that song!!!!!!!

im mad they took out the drum solo its really cool...

any way we played this at an advanced concert and we placed first!!!!!!!

an were only middle schoolers!!!!!

wow....

[WiTtyManiA]

Does the conductor get tired?

[LonelyPker]

In my opinion, the tom wasn't into it enough at around 4 minutes. The guy who plays that for us gets really, REALLY into it.

[alarasnowfeather]

Nice interpretation. My band used these terracotta whistles, which I was rather fond of, but I like the hand whistler too. Drums don't have to be so loud at the beginning though. Bit rushed in the middle, I think; the conductor wasn't going that fast.

But beautifully done...You have all my praise.

[DeathRepier666]

LOL All of you peeps, im doing this song now aswell, its for our festival in April XD roflls.. :| tenor sax sux, dats all ig otta say.

[HypotheticalMuffins]

Woah. I am also playing this song for band.

blaarghish, lawnmower15, we must go to the same school. o_0

[DeathRepier666]

and rofl, my commant was for u since u mentioned thee coincidences.

[HypotheticalMuffins]

X3 I really don't like the flute part. So confusing! AND my director wants me to play while everyone else is singing so they can actually hit the notes.

[DeathRepier666]

ah nice nice. u playing any other peices? were doing this, blue tango and fanfare for the third planet :\ all sux. rofl im a guitar person.

[HypotheticalMuffins]

Hahaha!

Yeah, this Russian Sailor's dance and a medley from West Side Story.

[jall2193]

[HypotheticalMuffins]

[jall2193]

[blaarghish]

[lawnmower15]

I am playin this song at school.We dont sound as good as they do though.

[raedwulf1991]

the timpani part is fun on this song

[raedwulf1991]

the timpani part is fun on this song

[Gorphoz]

I think the 5:54 was a bit slow, but otherwise excellent!

[misstiffk]

i play clarinet, and the solo sounds a little bit...weird to me. It doesn't flow as well as it should. My friend plays the solo, and it's gorgous when she plays it. The switches of the lower to higher notes needs to be cleaner. But it's still really good (:

[PhoenixEclipseCurse]

It sounds a little different probably from timing? The rythmn was different for us. If you mean in the sound...I guess it would sound wierd being recorded, it's a lot different than being upclose and personal =P

I play clarinet tooo x3

[misstiffk]

YES! GO CLARINETS!!!! I just came back from band camp lol! so i'm pumped!! and sorry, i don't remember what i was talking about lol!

[frazierz]

i love this piecee

played it last year in middle school band

was really hard but we are pretty good :-)

i love the emotions this piece makes you feel

[tootsie0707]

well actually the only thing that sounds better in my band is the clarinet solo...there's not alot of heart in it...emotion...

[tootsie0707]

OMG! I play/currently playing this song for festivals and such and this song is amazing. I never knew how good it could sound! lol Wowzers...=)

[sopiepops]

[farsijad67]

I also play the flute and we are playing this piece in the festival too!!! This is an amazing song!!!!

[sopiepops]

hmmm.. its ok! its sounds gud, but get a bit boring after playing it a lot! its not very hard either, well the flute part isnt anyway

[kris13pink]

I play the flute too! and we are also playing this piece!?

[Gorphoz]

I am playing this in the Wellingborough Music school festival band in the national festival bands on the 16th of March.

[SoloPizza7]

must be a popular piece, we played it this winter.

[rockgollem]

-_- this band need some serious change in changeing their base drum. I don't know if it's the stage, but drum is screwing everythign up..

[GouldenBach]

[Genesimmonsrocks]

Sounds great! I love the bass drum. It gets me everytime.

[michaelduchonnn]

[farsijad67]

Mine too!

[xolovexopeace]

i played this with my band last year; i play flute, and it was a lot of fun, but the singing parts for us had different words. good job! also, the handflute parts for us were on the occarina, but really the same sound and concept!!

[gegegenonewmusic]

Excellent!!

[Dave4gotAMVs]

Man, we are doing this in my band class right now. Guess who is playing the ocarina :P

[mdusablo]

[rock13931393]

[TehChaps]

Yes, and sorry about switching accounts between answers :P.

[TehChaps]

Oh yeah i never answered this. Not me :P Were a boring school, were using the mouth piece of a flute to play it.

[rock13931393]

yea im the kid who plays the tom part.

[TehChaps]

cool. Im one of the many sax players.

[koalareds]

I did this song as my 7th grade middle school ratings song. It was so much fun, especially the percussion parts. I had the clarinet solos, and the handflute part was played on an occarina.

[HandwhistlerBen]

Very interesting composition and the Handflute playing was so beautiful and haunting! You have great control! Mitsuhiro would be proud of you also. I would like to hear you play a complete solo like he does, and I do.
