I was super excited to see that a marching band had done a rendition of Tank, but by the end of this, I felt very disappointed. I'm sure a lot of it has to do with what we're hearing is only a recording, but I was just so frustrated listening to it. The tempo sounded like it was going to tear at any time, and I didn't find the trumpets very impressing. Not that the music that they played didn't take talent, but they just sounded...off. Wish I could have heard it live. :/

Jealous! I am thinking on convincing my band director to let us play this in Jazz Ensemble.

@Seabass20329 Here is the thing every part was right its just hard to try and keep it clean and tight. Each performances is sorta like walking down the aisle at a wedding. Like if you start on the wrong foot or to late or early. The funny thing is that is literally what happens, Also this is midway in to there season so things may not be final.

OMG cool!!!

I honestly don't know what I think of the quality of the performance itself, but the fact that an entire school band would be willing to play the opening number for an anime in front of a live audience has blown me away. In fact, to learn "Through the Night" from Outlaw Star on the piano is a huge ambition of mine, and after seeing this and someone play the opening for Outlaw Star on the piano, I know I can do it, too! Thank you for the inspiration!

I think this whole process went a little something like this: "Hey marching band guys! I just learned the alto solo for 'Tank!' Let's play the whole piece for our marching show!" two weeks and not enough rehearsals later: this video! Just my opinion. The solo was almost spot on, but the rest... ehhhhh...
