just finished my freshman year of high school and this was by far my favorite piece we played. i had the flute solo at the beginning and it was so fun to play
I miss this song...😭. I am a Senior in high school about to graduate and this song brings back memories of my Sophomore when I first learned how to played French horn. This is when I realized that I was meant to be a beast French horn player instead of a trumpet player. We got straight 1s at assessment playing this. I was the best French horn player in my section at the time. The runs were hard back then now when I look at it I'm thinking, "Why was this so hard?"
My friend Omar just switched from trumpet to french horn/mellophone (in marching band) last year and he's doing really good and as the only horn player we are all kinda proud of him cause he has never cared too much about band but he just started fixing his life and is doing amazing. It's nice to see him improve as a person and a player. To quote my teacher, "band is a lot about life, and a little about playing. This experience will change you in ways you could never comprehend so enjoy it while it lasts"
Sooooo great! Just played it last night and it was awesome. I'm playing clarinet and the final part (4:33 to the end) is the best yet somehow the hardest fingering succession I've ever played.
The one where its Eb then B and F#? Followed by the next set of eighth notes (around measure 63)? To me its such a weird fingering (im used to alternate fingerings for B and C because my hands are small)
i loved playing this song! we used some of it in our marching band show my senior year. like from the 2:50 mark to the 3:09 mark with other random parts from the song. :]
I was clarinet 1 on this freshman year right after covid so I was fresh out of middle school with very little skill. This song was tough as shit and sounded great. Still gives me chills.
I know… I played this freshman year and it was so hard… now I’m a sophomore and moved to a harder school and safe to say, I could probably play this song with ease now 😂😂
I can see how 1:08 is the most replayed. That's the most fun to play part in my opinion, from a trombone player lol. First time I ever got to do a gliss in a concert.
I play euphonium and my band is playing this for district tomorrow. I REALLY love the euphonium part. Not too hard...but not too easy, and sounds great too.
I play as a freshman and I agree. Though I always get carried by the I think sophmore in my section, I really enjoy this song. The part I have trouble with is 2:47 lol
my hs symphonic band played this recently and nowhere near did it justice, we just didn't have enough time to prepare, but oh my god this is such a beautiful piece
i played this at UCA band camp, and it's a good piece. i think the part around 2:57 is my favorite, when you have the melody, and then the BUM BUM BUMMMMM of the low brass :) probably cuz im a trombone tho lol
i am the only on on marimba and xylo, we have one person on vibes. we had to abduckt two flutes to join the cult of percussion for this song. it's so fun
We didn't have too much in this song but the trumpet parts that were in this song were pretty awesome especially the hi-hat rolls with our triplets cutting into them
omg!!! we played this as a marching show my freshmen year in high school along with blues Fur Elise and Rythmata the show was called (Experiments in Rhythm) I love this song tho yeaaaa!!! HHS Band
HOLY MOLY good job my dude!!! that's incredible talent. I'm a sophmore in the second highest band at my school and our band couldn't even get it together after weeks of practice and ended up having to cut some of it, so the fact that y'all can sightread that as a freshman band?? fucking incredible
gets me in a zelda and super smash bros. mood! and i havn't played the wii in like 4 months since i beat skyward sword, been playing too much bf3 and ac revelations.
@chadmighster id have to say grade 4, because while this piece is challenging it isn't long. Now, if they stuck 7/16 measures and things like that we might have a grade 5
@Da1DeyCallBriCoop we already competed with music dor two festivals and we changed completely new songs for the last one and this is one of them.. im freaking lovin it!!!

Nobody cares
@@chrisg0001 literally shut up omg I care lmao. No need to be so negative 💀💀💀
@@chrisg0001 you didn’t have to comment fool
I also played in my freshman year, was a euph
I love that slow, cool groove with trumpet clarinet and flute and low brass at 1:25 thru 1:40
playing it at my school. such an easy looking part but its much harder than you think
playing A. Sax 2 btw
This would be an epic first movement in a field show (:
It is for my band this year
Absolutely agree, just played this piece for honor band this year and absolutely love it
@@cringecentral_ i played this piece at JanFest this year, pretty nice piece
i wouldn’t see this piece for a field show 🤷♀️
Funny you should mention...
Grandville High School Marching Band, 2022.
The Alto Saxophone part is fun but very much slept on.
I played this song my freshman year on alto sax, now it’s my senior year and i get to play this on my horn 🥰
OMG same.....i played it in 7th grade :) w/ 8th graders.....
@@fantas7879 yaaay horn! I'm playing it this year on horn : )

freshman year on tenor sax. favorite piece by far!
God this sound like it will go perfect with a Final Fantasy game
I play all of percussion three. Toms, Triangle, hihat, crash, bongos, and China Cymbal
zmansutton We had a guy literally do the exact same thing for 9&10 honor band
I play toms, triangle, hihat, and timpani :/
I play none 😢
I played this for music in may in high school it was a good year with such a huge band
One of the few band songs I will ever put in my music folder
I play this on the timpani and it is a very fun experience.
ME TOO TWINNNN
played this piece for UNCG summer camp
it was fun
My band that I’m not in is playing this, and what’s really cool is that I personally know Erik Morales, the composer. He gives my brother lessons.
We're playing this for Festival, and taking it to Florida!
PERCUSSION REPRESENT!
Specifically the Hi-Hat part! (:
1st trumpet with solo at beginning. Really fun to play.
Gamer Universe, I guess I'm a year late saying good luck lol.
Best french horn part ever! Love this piece! 😍
So glad I was able to play this freshman year. I had a 2nd trombone piece and it was fun and amazing
Percussion and euphoniums kicked butt here! I played this song for the string bass and they were right there.Claris sounded way too confusing lol
the flute solo makes me want to break my instrument in half
I really love this song! Hella reminds me of Final Fantasy theme song battles
Playing this tonight at a concert. Tuba and claves. Its gonna be amazing.
Played this one on the Xylophone and... nothing else. At least the director let me play at the end!
I can see how 1:08 is the most replayed. That's the most fun to play part in my opinion, from a trombone player lol. First time I ever got to do a gliss in a concert.
first trumpet, soloist. we just started playing it, i have a long way to go but i'm gonna get it. i love this song.
10 years later and i’m in the exact same boat haha
Wonderful work of displaying the different instruments capabilities
I play euphonium and my band is playing this for district tomorrow. I REALLY love the euphonium part. Not too hard...but not too easy, and sounds great too.
I play as a freshman and I agree. Though I always get carried by the I think sophmore in my section, I really enjoy this song. The part I have trouble with is 2:47 lol
best. symphonic. piece. ever.
Played this in my wind symphony in high school. Hearing it made me cry because of all the good times
SENIOR YEAR 2014....I slick miss this

my hs symphonic band played this recently and nowhere near did it justice, we just didn't have enough time to prepare, but oh my god this is such a beautiful piece
PERCUSSION REPRESENT (timpani specifically really fun and absolutely great song to play)
I legitimately have the timpani part right in front of me
percussion makes this piece, y'all are so cool
@@somerandompersonofficial d’aww, thank you 💚 I hope you have a good day :)
@@DectheTrainwreck ofc!!! percussion is probably the coolest, most impressive part of the band. you have a good day too :)
wow played the flute part on this at some HS festival... memories :D
The sections with the hi-hat really remind me of music for a boss battle in Zelda or something lol
We played this in the UM-Flint Honor band it was by far my favorite piece
i played this at UCA band camp, and it's a good piece. i think the part around 2:57 is my favorite, when you have the melody, and then the BUM BUM BUMMMMM of the low brass :) probably cuz im a trombone tho lol
Out of all the songs we played, this is one of my favorites.
Go Reagan!!
this is straight gas 🔥🔥🔥
i am the only on on marimba and xylo, we have one person on vibes. we had to abduckt two flutes to join the cult of percussion for this song. it's so fun
i wonder how that went
This in freshmen high school band was a fantastic time. Truly this video brings back memories...
Best song on record for all of our school's concerts.
FLUTES STAND UP

10 years later can confirm it is still good
Trumpet Swag ! Let's gooo. Playing this for festival.
I'm a timpani soloist for this song I'm struggling slightly at measure 107 ( 2:41 )

Trombones have some pretty good parts!(: but props to Percussion!
The French horn is amazing
Yeah, 132 on xylo is so much fun (we only had 1 person on marimba and xyolo)
My band director says we might be the only high school in our state where the freshman band can sightread this :D
HOLY MOLY good job my dude!!! that's incredible talent. I'm a sophmore in the second highest band at my school and our band couldn't even get it together after weeks of practice and ended up having to cut some of it, so the fact that y'all can sightread that as a freshman band?? fucking incredible

@chadmighster id have to say grade 4, because while this piece is challenging it isn't long. Now, if they stuck 7/16 measures and things like that we might have a grade 5
TROMBONES (and low brass over all) FOR THE WIN! :DDDD
Played this at UNA Honor Band on trombone a little over a month ago.
I played this song for LGPE (festival). I also played the solo for this song. We got a superior rating. I love this song
we went to nationals then we lost 4th place. we play stuff like parkour by samuel hazo
That's amazing
Marcus Cain you guys are realy tho. were about equal
The wind ensemble last year played arabesque by Samuel hazo
Marcus Cain nice.
Just went to a performance with this song and a song called O Nata Lux playing the trombone. We got a 1 rating, the best.
