[interventionpwnsyou]

[NightmaresSaviour]

Ninth grade... hard as heck

[videogamer1010]

good old 6th grade :)

[ChibiVamp232]

I played this in grade 8 in band, as a flute.

We kicked ass!

[AustinAurora]

GMEA 9/10 Allstate's version is in a different key. Expect it to be a little different (especially the fast part at 2:12 which was marked much slower on the cello 2nd round excerpt).

[BurningBirdXL]

I'm going to play this in the county championship.

[whatafunnychickk]

go on imslp.org for instrumentation

[cutehippy16]

im gonna play this song lol

[JBMSaphira67]

Oh, this is an awesome version of the song... I played it as the viola section master in grade seven... We didn't have the beginning part, I don't think. Our arrangement was a lot different, but just as fun! xD

[battelmaster13]

damn i"m trying to play this for a sax solo not the easiest thing i could have wished for but i"M on my way

[JoshorzNBenzorz]

My favorite part is screaming that high g at the end on horn. GLORIOUS!

[11111111jws]

I recorded this song in the studio at home took me a week to do and didn't get all the parts in as I should have but love the song so much I did by ear and all on keyboard. Aweful! but my favorite for me. (self pat on the back) I tried.

[piglet3seven]

this is ridiculously fun on the bass...just sayin...

[TheStringQueen]

I played this in middle school, and everyone got excited because it sounds like the Tetris theme song, and then they got mad because clearly the composer stole this song from Tetris. Fail... I love this song though! It always makes me happy :3

[favonuissprogeny]

Best bassoon part EVER!

[hellnowhat7]

если перевести это, ты тупица Святое дерьмо

[theotherguy245689]

i like the andrew balent version of this better

[cjhstrumpet]

@theotherguy245689

I met him and he was helping us on and easier version of this song. (:

[MinecraftPeople9901]

I'm playing this in 7th grade

[11111111jws]

@MinecraftPeople9901 If you are your a better man than I good for you!! Tuff song and incredible perhaps I'll see you perform it one day. :) Good choice of song to work on.

[minhnguyen98]

My class had to play this song....couldn't get past 160 bpm.

[B1rdsEye01]

[tigarface101]

[hotwings80]

@Yo6566 what chair did you make???

[mimbichan]

I get to play this in my Eighth Grade Band this year for our christmas concert, though our sound managed to sound quite creepy. ._.

[26awesomegirl]

[dannyjordan88]

This is what the region IX orchestra is playing in TX

[Yo6566]

[toniekid]

[firelord4563]

[samoanmutt]

brings back good memories



[gothamcitybadgirls]

Believe it or not, we played the concert band arrangement of this piece in beginning band at my middle school, we had THAT great of a band program, granted it was the final concert. I love band!!!

[KanisMaximus]

@gothamcitybadgirls Aha Im playing it for highschool.

[jfluter]

@gothamcitybadgirls The adult summer band that I played in a few months ago played this as well. I also remember playing this in youth orchestra back in the day.....very fun piece.

[KanisMaximus]

This is damn awesome. So much fun to play!

[TitaniaIsFalling]

Oh wow, thanks for that. You're so right, all the other vids with this song suck. This song really brings back memories. Its one of the most exciting and more enjoyable pieces that I've ever played on the cello, so thanks for allowing me to enjoy the memory of it with his wonderful upload.

[LeenaSharma6]

we play this song in the burlington teen tour band! :)

[JonnaJacobsen1995]

[scififan90]

[Siggy2404]

lol this song reminds me of how much of a band geek my friends and I were! This song was exciting to play!

[baoyouming]

Ah this song brings back memories.

[Jhaoszero]

popeye aint got nothin on this

[byerlyduck]

OMIGAD THIS SONG IS SO AWESOME!

I will never play the tiny abridged version from my book again. Ever.

It would be a disgrace to this epic piece of music.

[Smileygirl2782]

2:13 = total freakout :)

[Nissim1795]

It's really fun to play pieces with this much energy.

[cake10]

@Nissim1795 ♪=3579125892635829365

[Applesauzified]

My absolute favorite song that I played in orchestra. I loved playing the cello part on it

[19102101830]

You can just feel the power of Russian navy in this song!

So cruel and yet hearth touching piece!

[uhohitsmo15]

I'm a middle school-er and we play this song and its not that hard on the sax part but the trumpets have to play very hight notes very fast

[icchiekurosaki]

@uhohitsmo15 its not a song, it's a piece, and on the sax? what kind of arrangement do you have...?

[williewillus1220]

@icchiekurosaki probably band arrangement

[Mentaldpx]

im playing this in my band, when it picks up speed FAST at 2:13 i swear my trombone slide will catch on fucking fire.

[Elodia29]

THAAAANKS FOR UPLOADING YOUR MP3!!!!!

[tsyganko]

Oh, jeez is this familiar............

[BreakeroftheDawn]

Played this as the only Tenor Sax in our orchestra. I absolutely loved it!!!

[Techprince13]

this is bettr with strings

[22rajiboo]

@Techprince13 I kno. I played second violin in my orchestra and we played it much liver. The cellos and double basses never had this much depth in it.

[eohtae98]

i'm playing dis with concerto in d major by vivaldi with carmen suite no.1 withdvorak's fifth symphony .... frustration is blowing my mind cause i have to be good at this by next week...

[Cellomancer]

@eohtae98 Cool, so am I. Well, at least I assume it's Dvorak 5, it could be something else. Nope, it's Dvorak's 5th. But I get abridged version...both good and bad.

[totoroiscutie]

i'm playing this along with the rest of the all city philadelphia middle school band :)

flutes!

[jwagner9226]

I'm going to be conducting this for my senior piece at my high school!!! So excited! :)

[michael77800002]

[heydaygirl12]

[Nissim1795]

I'm playing this song on first trombone in my wind ensemble. That part is no joke, especially if you're taking it as fast as it is with this recording. Thumbs up if you're looking for a recording to practice with.

[MSalesBAC]

I'm 2nd violin for this song. Even thought we don't get to do much, it's fun to listen to the others play.

[mischkabunny]

@MSalesBAC second violin is lovely in this piece, and equally as important. I was one too. Some parts sound terrible if the seconds don't do their stuff :)

[knyrmyamada]

my favorite song ever for concert band so far. we have to play it.....im playing 2nd trumpet on this song...

[knyrmyamada]

my favorite song ever for concert band so far. we have to play it.....

[readingrocket92]

[MisterJohnnyWalrus]

This song needs a hug.

[RunescapeElijah6578]

I played this piece with my Symphony as a first violin, SOOO much fun! I was 14 at the time I believe.

[eijilover18]

I'm playing this and my 2nd clarinet part is so BEAST!!! It's a different version and I have all the melodies!!! :D I LOVE THIS SONG!!!

[0015804875]

[fatboyjones2]

[Qwerty94470]

[MarinaRULES]

My MIDDLE School Symphonic Band Is Playing This. Is So Fun So Far, Go Horns!

[ultradmann]

[hyperlizard1]

@ultradmann I have a friend that has to play firebird suite, she play harp, and I have to learn this on trumpet. Are you doing a thing called "Come and Play" With the richmond symphony?

[HMSonicACAvatarTS3]

@ultradmann Ohhhh yeah! Clarinet power!!!!!! It's freaking hard, I'm a freshman clarinet playing it (not on first, though). Good luck!

[L8Rdudesanddudettes]

@ultradmann GO CLARINETS. we're playing this in my high school's wind ensemble. im second clarinet. it. is. HARD.

[chica476]

@L8Rdudesanddudettes

No one cares about your perverse homosexual desires in the highschool gym showers.

[L8Rdudesanddudettes]

@chica476 ummm... what?

[VeraSorger]

@ultradmann I totally understand! I'm a bass clarinet playing a clarinet part and it's soooo much harder with the bass instrument!!! I played Firebird last season. I HATE that piece!!! LOL! Our band directors must like the same music.

[bzirkle86]

@ultradmann.. i used to play the 1st clarinet part for this song when we played it in orchestra.. it was hard. I was always out of breath by the end. We also played this as our senior song at senior awards. Good luck ! :-)

[kikyocrazy]

Yeahhhhhhh violas! <3

[cooldarkspeed]

VIOLEN IS BETTER!! XD WOOT GO 1ST VIOLENS (ME)

[BeyondxDescription]

@cooldarkspeed Violin. Violin. We have enough haters as it is... If you're gonna support the instrument, spell it right. Or you just represent us badly...damn.

[cooldarkspeed]

@BeyondxDescription well my bad for try to be excited.....= = joy kill

[blinkme478]

i played this in class. it was some next, made-for-retards version. i threw the music and demanded we played the original, to which my teacher showed me the original score and i stfu.

i wish i could play this with justice

[PhatMike443]

Cellos sound awesome..

Why the hell did I pick violin!?

[cjzgatefan]

@PhatMike443 I think that every day. Cellos ROCK!

[McChrispyness]

This may sound weird, but I like to see this song as the theme music to my orgasms.

[BreakeroftheDawn]

@McChrispyness

I would agree if my orgasms weren't already heralded in by the Final Fantasy Victory Fanfare.

[flowertower872]

@McChrispyness I. Totally. Feel. You.

[97damppants]

@McChrispyness

What the freaking Hell?!?!?!?! Yes it does sound weird! Did you just have to let us know that?!?!?!?!?!?!

[RunescapeElijah6578]

@McChrispyness Hell yeah, I can picture it man.. Beast song for orgasms, so is Palladio by Karl Jenkins.

[Andreaspaw]

@McChrispyness You're fucked up.

[bagettistudios]

in soviet russia, orchestra plays YOU!

[notaconspiracy]

our music teacher threw this at us in grade 9 (this exact version and everything)...he was so intense with us that we were able to play it flawlessly by christmas of grade 10. it's still one of my favourite songs ever!! :D

[fordgt40ducati999r]

Im playin this exact same peice right naw in band..song is awesome!

[fordgt40ducati999r]

@fordgt40ducati999r 

[elementfire11]

Tubas for the win.

[MATRODITH]

This was one of my favorite pieces to play. Representing the Violas! haha.

[1Obidiah1]

@MATRODITH GO VIOLAS!!!!!!

[stewyisawesum]

@1Obidiah1 VIOLA POWER

[lukevader29]

My youth symphony is playing this, not nearly as difficult a version as this but still a great melody. Also playing a knock-off Minuet.

[157hotpocket]

we play this in our school marching band:D

[zosovette]

@157hotpocket um...how?

[ignaz1882]

Thank you for posting this.  What a gem!

This is positively the best recording I've heard of this work. Ormandy really let's himself go here. I suspect this is one of his recordings from his 'younger' days.

Simply marvelous.

[spixxen999]

nice vid :D like the music

[abhijit9331]

me and my friends play for the howard county band nd we play this version of russions ssailors dance.... its quite fun LOl especially at the presto part

[BlueViolaTelevision]

@flowertower872- you were in session 1?? What instrument were you?

[flowertower872]

@BlueViolaTelevision Nooo I was in session 2. Sorry!!

[BlueViolaTelevision]

@Blackbird1616-

OmG me too!!!!! Blue lake 2010??

[PhatMike443]

@BlueViolaTelevision

Session 2!! FTW!!

[flowertower872]

@PhatMike443 This was my favorite song :) After this one was um momentum or something. Lol but this one was by far the best! When the violins rested during the Cello, Bass and Viola part I really enjoyed it (I was a violin)

[PhatMike443]

@flowertower872 In the last few days of session 2, I was the one who conducted this song ^.^

[flowertower872]

@PhatMike443 Were you in concert orchestra (I'm assuming yes because I think we're the only ones that played this song...)??
