Yoshi's Island Athletic Theme played by the Raspberry Jam Band

You recall the previous video of some members of this band sight-reading the piano score I made. Well, they liked it so much that they made their own arrangement based on that piano score for the whole band to play.

Percussion: Kitty Wilson
Violin: Mary Preston
Piano: Tom Brier
Tuba: Brian Schlegel
Euphonium: George Preston
Piccolo: Julia Riley

Brian is the band's backup tuba player.

You can download the piano score that I made here: http://users.sfo.com/~keeper/music/yoshiath.pdf

Because they're playing based off the piano score, you don't get the overlapping melodies like the original tune had, or the syncopated chords in the background. I should suggest that Mary play the previous bars there when the piano and percussion do a solo. I think that would sound best.

I wasn't going to post this one first, but George mentioned after they played this that one will be able to find it on YouTube, so here it is.

This is from Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, and was composed by Koji Kondo (近藤 浩治).

Hey is there any way I could a copy of the euphonium sheet music? I would greatly appreciate it!

[Keeper1st]

@Philomel14 There isn't any specific euphonium parts written out. The band members play from the piano score and work out their own parts in rehearsal.

would like a high quality mp3 of this Best cover of song

[Keeper1st]

@brainrotator See video ID sKZq11GnofA -- you can capture the high-quality audio from that. (Most PC sound devices can be set to record their own stereo output, so you can make your own MP3 of anything.)

I just love how much fun they're having playing this! I agree with a previous comment; please be sure to let them know how many people send them their positive feedback, well wishes and gratitude for the nostalgia! ^_~

This is really cool

[Wthayer1997]

Get rid of the flute and the annoying crackly thingy and then it'll be perfect.

[Cloudwalker2k3]

This is the sound that the original implies.

Great job.
