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).

  • Is that... a euphonium?!

    I LOVE YOU GUYS

  • Yes. George is no longer with the band, though they have do another euphonium player now. You can hear George on another euphonium solo in a video of the Raspberry Jam Band playing the song "Afghanistan".

  • Do you take donations to get yourself a decent camera and microphone? I'd gladly donate.

  • This is an old video shot with an old camera. My current camera has very good audio quality. It isn't HD video, but that's OK; my PC can't process HD video anyway, and it's the audio that matters.

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

  • 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.
