Those of you students and directors checking out this video, I thought I'd let you know I just finished the 1st drafts of movements 2, 3, and 4 of the Symphony. I hope you'll enjoy them when the come out.
Randall Standridge is this supposed to be similar to IronHeart? I played that one and I recognize similar rhythms but in a much darker tone. I sincerely enjoy your style of composition.
We played this my 8th grade year, my class has chosen this to be our senior song to play at graduation as our last performance together. This song is the root of many core memories:)
Mr. Standridge, you have the honor of being my favorite composer now! I played 1 of your songs for my ATSSB Regional concert, and it was Afterburn! Great song! Keep up the food work!
I'm so excited to be playing this song! I am from LRMS and I got to meet Mr. Strandridge before MPA. When I saw it was composed by him I got so excited! Such an amazing piece! Great Job Mr. Strandridge! Keep up the good work! If you remember, I was the one who asked with my friend for your signature...
Grace Pike I met Jens Lindemen (I don't know how to spell his name) I was so cool! I got an autograph from him and he's such an inspiration as a trumpet player.
this is so heckin cool!! For my school, this year's 8th grade band doesn't get to play it, only next year's and I'm cryin bc it sounds so nice??? wow 👌👌👌👌
I played this song back in 8th grade, and i loved it, now it's the 10th 2 years later and for our big four day concert we get to play Iron and Ice: A Vikings Adventure for Christmas. I love it and I am so happy that I haven't quit the band yet. And being the bass Clarinet of the band is so great.
I’d be really surprised if you see this Randall, but this piece truly is amazing. I find it so amazing that you put so much emotion into your pieces and I wanted to tell you that you really made so many people’s band experiences, including myself.
Stuffed Cinema , yep, actually working on it right now. "Darklands Suite" which will make up the 3 middle movements of the symphony. The whole Symphony will be: Darklands March (1.March Through the Dark Forest) Darklands Suite (2. Dance of the Mad Prince, 3. The Serpent Priest and the Black Bell, 4.The Queen's Masque) DarkHeart (5. Escape from DarkHeart Castle)
I agree, I’m playing this for our spring concert, and my partners have absolutely fallen in love with it. Mr. Standridge, my school band has played some of your songs like Blue Sky Horizon. It was a pleasure playing and I think my band fell in love with that one too. Though to say, it was quite hard for a bunch of 7th graders.
I'm very happy to say for our marching season, we will be playing your whole Angels and Demons show!! I was wanting to play this, Mellophone on both of these sound very fun!! I can't wait!
I had the pleasure of playing the timpani part of this in 8th grade, which was great cuz I got to play real loud. The way we played it was slightly different in that I was the loudest part of the band, catching the attention of the crowd.
I am currently in a band and we are going to be playing this for our spring concert and I love this song out of all of the other songs we have learned and I love the clairinet part I'm so happy to play that part!!!
If you are the real Randall Standridge, I love your music! It's so inspiring to me and I listen to it alot. Personally Ithink Dark Ride is my favorite peice youve so far and youre just amazing, I hapoe you see this.
We'replaying this song in band for a concert the week we get back from christmas break (I play snare), but I left my sheet music at school, and my teacher hasn't emailed me my music, so when we get back I have 3 days to learn this song fully
When we played this song the other instaments wouldn’t be quiet at 0:09 and the other Parts like this so (I play clarinet) when we had to play they were louder then us but that makes since theirs only 4 clarinets out of a 40 person band. I always seem to have a really soft reed (I play 3.0) so I play really loud and ms Dereece (my band teacher) tells me to be quiet but this time after class and told me “donn. play loud! Like really loud” because the others can play quite. I ended up playing to loud…
on my concert at the last bit of the song, maybe like the last 7 bars of the song, my band director knocked over the whole stand it was kinda funny and ironic and kinda awesome ending
Never quit band, the memories you make there never leave and you always will feel fondly to epic pieces like this.
Truth
Ong I've been in one big band and its hella fun and the stuff we do and learn is amazing memories
It is
Fre
My school is learning this after falling in love with Darklands March
The Boredom Cure I know same here, in my opinion it's very hard to play... It sounds really cool though!!
Darklands march is a lot better than this one, in my opinion, but this is still a favourite in our band.
Us too.
Mr.Standridge actually came to our school!
saame

I know this was made six years ago but like I’m playing this song in band and it’s exhilarating
Me too!
Bass clarinet and other low end instruments sound so cool in the whole piece
Mr. Standridge, you have the honor of being my favorite composer now! I played 1 of your songs for my ATSSB Regional concert, and it was Afterburn! Great song! Keep up the food work!
Thank you, I'm glad you're enjoying the music! *high five*
@@randallstandridge high five
I love how you can hear the bells so well, our band is so huge that you can hardly hear our part.
We have 60-70 people in our band 😰
I’m starting to learn that I need to play my part out
I just got bells on this for contest, and I didn't realize how big of a part it played!
My school had a band come to our school and play it today. I loved it so much I wished they could play it all day.
I'm so excited to be playing this song! I am from LRMS and I got to meet Mr. Strandridge before MPA. When I saw it was composed by him I got so excited! Such an amazing piece! Great Job Mr. Strandridge! Keep up the good work!

Grace Pike I met Jens Lindemen (I don't know how to spell his name) I was so cool! I got an autograph from him and he's such an inspiration as a trumpet player.
I pretty sure he has given his signature to more then a few ppl xD
All these people playing for all star bands or honor bands, but I'm just playing for the seventh-grade spring band concert.

A round of applause to the people trilling in the beginning, I did this song at bandcamp and it starts to hurt.
We got the trill too
The left pinkie trills are the worst. We also call that the banana key
Flute Nation forreal

I'm playing this song for the 2018 District IV All Star Band! I'm so nervous and so excited at the same time.
Our band is practicing this song, for spring concert. I wish I knew where my director gets all these songs!
By the way I play the oboe for my school Wind Ensemble.
I know my directors get most of our music from J.W.Pepper and similar sites. (Or we already have in our music library)
Randall Standridge I am from Henry Middle school and I just wanted to say thank you for making Imaginarium I really enjoyed playing it, so thank you
sebastian arguello , no problem. I really enjoyed your performance at Midwest.
I played this song back in 8th grade, and i loved it, now it's the 10th 2 years later and for our big four day concert we get to play Iron and Ice: A Vikings Adventure for Christmas. I love it and I am so happy that I haven't quit the band yet. And being the bass Clarinet of the band is so great.

I wish my band was able to play this one but the younger grades got the chance instead
at my school i play trumpet for this song
Logan Mann dam it logan you beat me
This is amazing!I wish we could play all of the Darklands movements but we're just doing Darklands march in my band.:D
If you play the trombone like me on this song you will know how much breath it takes and the fact that you can end up sweating at the end.
best song I ever have and ever will play in band -a tuba player
I remember playing this, god this was so fun
I play clarinet on this song
I love the euphonium part and can’t wait to play it
We'replaying this song in band for a concert the week we get back from christmas break (I play snare), but I left my sheet music at school, and my teacher hasn't emailed me my music, so when we get back I have 3 days to learn this song fully

Just played this piece for our District Honor band. I only want to know how you're supposed to do the sax part starting at measure 73
When we played this song the other instaments wouldn’t be quiet at 0:09 and the other Parts like this so (I play clarinet) when we had to play they were louder then us but that makes since theirs only 4 clarinets out of a 40 person band.
