The dislikes are the people who couldnt play it
Exactly.
True dat I can play it on the bass drum and it is my favorite song I’ve played
@@sirnexothe13th I did it on the bells
You have a point it’s a great piece
I played it on trumpet and it isn't that hard.
Everyone in our class whispers "yesss" when our band director tells us to get out this piece, when we're told to get out a different one everyone groans
Røman same lol
Røman what instrument? I play trumpet (this song I play trumpet 2)
Same, trumpet 2. This is a really fun piece
Røman same
Avionic7779x i play trumpet 2 as well
Holy cow! I haven't been on this video in a while....over 2000 likes? Thank you to all the students and directors who have played/programmed this piece. If it's made your band experience a little more fun, then that makes me extraordinarily happy. Also happy to announce that "Tales from the Darklands", a collection of stories from the Darklands, will be coming out sometime in 2020.
Yes plz I love the March and legends I'm playing both this year in middle school
yes!!
Randall Standridge I like the idea
@Randall Standridge A composer who makes good music and stays in touch with the community after 2 years? You, sir, are great.
I come from a small town we love it I personally and I find it quite challenging but not too hard it's just right to the point where you want to keep tuba and I am grateful that you made this
The fact this song is relatively easy to play and sounds this good is amazing
Except for starwars
@@jessicapark8141tsar wars
Bros tripping on acid if he’s saying this is easy (I’m a trumpet btw)
well duh you're a trumpet, as an alto sax this song is def much easier @@MooMoo-nn6fk
No hate but u must be on god mode to say this is easy😅
The dislikes are from the orchestra kids
The choir kids
@@bmanblue77w97 don’t bring the chorus kids into this 😭
The theater kids
The art kids
The athletic kids
Rip, my band had to remove this song because our *Dang Clarinets* couldn’t play it,
And as a Bari Sax player this song is so fun to play 😭
Edit: this was back when I was in middle school, i was an 8th grader and it was the second band. most of the 8th grade clarinets were in the highest band since they were good, so my band was full of people from 7th grade who were still new. I understand this may not be the most difficult piece to play, but our clarinets were definitely below average (unfortunately)
High Voltage i hate when we have to remove pieces because ENTIRE sections can’t play their parts
Tf in honor band we had less than 24 hours and the clarinet part is probably the easiest part. I had fun playing it even tho I got the easy part
winniethepoo we didn’t?
High Voltage your clarinets must be garbage cause for us 1st clarinets it’s easy as heck. The hardest part is the solo we have and it’s not even hard😂 also we are an 8th grade band. I would love to play harder stuff but we only have 1 trombone and he’s actually insane.
fryHD not a solo but I get you. Plus, with practice and addiction to this song, it becomes very easy
Randall, I don't know if you'll ever see this, but you are a freaking legend when it comes to making music. I can't imagine ever being able to make music this good as you do.
Thank you! I appreciate the compliment!
Same here, our band played The Nine my sophomore year and everyone was infatuated with it, the percussion section especially. Randall, your talent with music is so rare, and I hope you know how many people’s days you made!
Yeah same bro Randall is such an amazing composer because our band is playing this song along with mechanical monsters and some other ones in May
I really love this piece and it’s so cool! I just wish I was good at playing it 😂
@@randallstandridgeI'm playing at my concert on the cymbals today
I play tuba on this piece and love how it goes from being super intense to super quiet
The Cronkadile Same!! Hurray for tuba parts on marches not being whole notes!!!
The Cronkadile yes i also play tuba! Im glad we get notes!
I play clarinet
I’m tuba also and I think that the parts are very fun.
The Cronkadile Same!
Be sure to check out "Darklands Legends" which includes parts 2, 3, and 4 of the Symphony.
Randall Standridge I played this for my concert just 2 hours ago
amilianoray , awesome! I hope it went well
I played this last year I love it
Awesome! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
My band is playing this for our UIL and Christmas concert! I can really imagine like, soldiers marching into battle. I love this piece so much.
Love the low brass part at 2:17. Baritone/Euphonium players should be able to relate.
looler M8 sounds like a Batman piece
@@urmumlol1991 Kinda
My favorite part is 35 and that part. I love to be playing the slur at 35.
Trombone players as well
@@charlesthiry4002 but that part has every melody in the song colliding with each other, it just sounds so good. (Yes including 35)
Any clarinets?
Kylee: how about flutes?
Abby: trumpets?

I'm last what y'all Talkin about....
1st Chair Tuba right here
Randall what inspired you to write this?
Hello Mr. Standridge
The piece is truly amazing, I never get tired of it. My while band loves it and we're playing it at a competition in 2 months, and I am very honored to play this piece. I play the French Horn and I'm in the 8th grade, thank you for putting this up, I can go back to it whenever I need. I can't wait to see how my band plays this, thank you.
YASSS I NEVER SEE OTHER PEOPLE WHO PLAY THE AMAZING FRENCH HORN INSTRUMENT! It’s so uncommon but sounds so fresh. I’m in 7th grade and were doing his song. We’ve also done Mr.Standridge’s Skygazer Fanfare. GO FRENCH HORNS! #frenchornsquad
French horn squad!!!!
I'm in 7th too, but I'm a flute. ;-; There's only two French Horns in my band and our school puts 7th and 8th grade together in one big band, dunno why. I probably would've chose French Horn too, just too big for me since me is short. (grammar)
Larson
@@irestart. our band does that too, and i'm pretty sure we only have 2-3 french horns
any trombones out there?
Px90Pro ayyyyy
Px90Pro ma people
Dab on em

Any flute players here?
I am a flute player.

My freshman year in hs we played this and at 2:01 my director told the 1st trumpets to play that part up an octave and they did it perfect and it sounded so awesome to me as a new freshman. This song brings back memories
Bro why is snare so hard
This is an amazing piece. I played it for contest two years ago when I was a seventh grader. When my band preformed this we got all ones on stage (1 being superior and 5 being poor). I wanted to thank you Mr. Standridge for an amazing and beautiful music.
Autumn Morgan same with my band!

Bro if I get cancer, my make a wish has gotta be getting a song composed by the GOAT 🔥🔥🔥
Bro that’s too far my guy
1:30 even though I play trumpet, the T. Sax part gives me chills. Idk why, but I just can’t stop listening. Also I gotta say, it’s a fun song
It’s also the clarinet and euphonium part
I love that part, and also 2:17 how there are 3 different melodies all clashing in perfect harmony. This is overall the best song I have ever played.
@@thedarkmonarch yeah that’s my fav part
i play tenor sax lol
@@charfx Well thank you for being my favorite part of this song

Hank i feel u bro
Ikr
@@randallstandridge those songs have a really dope tuba part, im not a tuba though, but it was dope
Cries in bass clarinet
Best section trumpet section 1v1 me
Pov: you're gonna play this song in your band class
Try it on 2x speed and imagine your band trying to play it like that
Honestly with half of my band we could play it pretty fast... when we went to perform the conductor told us to slow down.
Arnab Chowdhury thank you for that!
With my band this year....Nooo......
1.25x for the Russian version
I would just not play it then too fast for my fingers to go on my instrument.
where my first chairs at? (i play trumpet :P)
As of now! Alto Sax.
congrats!
I played this as a seventh grader lastvyear
I'm playing as 7th grader this year
Oh we did to! Man that was 2 years ago.
My brother played this in 6th grade for a band festival. I still get upset my band never played this piece. Haven’t heard a piece from Randall Standrige in haven’t liked.
Hello, Mr. Standridge! I am a trumpet player in my school's wind ensemble, and after hearing the intermediate band play this piece, I looked further into it. This is quite a piece of music! It has a degree of simplicity, and yet nothing is missing. The melodies are catchy, the harmonies are well-written, and the piece does an excellent job of painting a mental picture in one's head. Particularly ingenious is the F horn part during the 'first strain' ;) something about the horn line works wonders for the piece. All in all, a very good tune that can be played at the intermediate level! Thank you!
I stopped reading when you said trumpet
Myguy
I’m first chair trumpet in the 8th grade, me and the baritone saxophonist are the only ones who love to play this for some reason. ITS THE BEST SONG EVER!!!!
2:00 this part gives me chills
I'm playing this song in band rn and the part at 1:47 sounds like an anime opening. Also any alto Saxophones?
had to play this piece in 3 different bands, worth it. trombone on!
I HAVE FOUND MY KIND
I'm playing flute on this piece, and it's so fun! Our band director did a great job picking songs for MPAs this year
I can’t play measure 55/58 😭
I played this this year in 8th as clarinet gonna miss this part
Errick 6 im playing this in 8th as well
Great piece! I am playing it in my band class and I love it!
Alto Sax 2 btw
Same

Nutshaq yea I’m also Alto sax and clairenet

Me too! My section leader has a cold and can't play so I get to play loud and it's super fun.
My band is playing this at UIL! Your music is so good!
Thank you, I'm glad you're enjoying it!
Yooo same I played this last year for uil
OMG WE PLAYED THIS SONG AT CONTEST LAST YEAR I REMEMBER SINGING THIS SONG WITH MY CLASSMATES ON THE BUS
our band is playng the entire darklands symphony my favorite is dance of the mad prince(i play baritone)
My school is playing all 5 songs from the series darklands march, darklands legends dance of the mad prince, serpent and the black bell and the queens mask and darkheart. Personally my favorite would have to be darkheart then the march and so on. I can't seem to find the legends on TH-cam but my teacher found it somewhere but I don't know how and were he found it but I got it in April and playing it on May 12 and that's not really a long time to practice but I think we can do it and I as well played Trumpet but use to play snare and base drum
YAASSS ANOTHER EUPHONIUM PLAYER!!!!
I've scrolled so far Baritone gang
@@cheetovontweeto119 Same here
LUCKYY
First we played fragile, and now another masterpiece by Mr. Standridge. Bravo 👏
Lol. My band directer also did that too.
Love this song I’m a flute and the flute parts are so pretty!
I’m glad we’re going to play this in our next concert.
Very fantastic march, especially at the trio section. The combination of the original melody and trio creates a powerful yet beautiful ending.
Flute squad where you at✌
Wow 1 million views and 10k likes, this band song still slaps hard.
currently trying my best to play the part at measure sixteen (I’m flute) and I’m about to start crying because I KEEP FORGETING ABOUT THAT DANG B NATURAL AHHH
A large part of music performance is simply motor skills. Here is what you need to do. Number one, mark it on your part so you don’t forget it. Number to practice it extremely slow without actually playing only doing the finger positions, then practice it with playing way way slower then you can actually play it. Do this numerous times until your fingers automatically know what to do. Then gradually add speed and it will fix it
1:46 and 2:32 are literally heaven like it's beautiful
Core memory unlocked
We're playing this song right now and it's one of my favorites!
This piece slaps. Especially bari sax.
Ok buddy, tubah play same part
Am I the only tuba player here?
Ok
Mr. F nope
Played crash cymbals on this in 7th grade. So much fun to see everyone’s ears get destroyed. (I’m a very loud percussionist.)
You remind me of one of our cymbalists who has inverted one of the crash cymbals both during a pep rally and during a football game. He plays really loud, and is wacky but he is my friend
AHHH the euphonium/low instrument soli GETS ME EVERYTIME. It was a blast to play and sounded so good!
Literal masterpiece
I’m playing this at my winter concert
am i the only percussion? XD I'll be playing this in a few years
I'm in percussion TOO! I play the bells😁😁
same and sometimes snare for me
Yup I also play snare
i might play timpani in star wars out bells part is easy :D!
I'm definetly making an animation with this music, and I'm crediting you. Holy shoot, this is a good piece.
Also my favorite parts: 0:08 - 0:41 1:30 - 2:02 because of the euphonium part. And last but not least, 2:17 - 2:44. 2:45 and after is just a absolute BANGER!!! You make good music. Also, I hope you see this comment, even though it's 2024 and this was made 7 years ago.
Alright, where’s the Bass Clarinets! Where are you guys!
What about bari sax?

I put this piece on x1.25 speed by accident, and it was good!! 😂 love this music man! Playing it in my band, thanks
This is definitely the best song we play in band
I'm the kind of dude to like song that are on the electronic side of the spectrum.
but this is absolute jammers.
This piece is absolutely amazing. It's my favorite of all the songs I have ever played (which is a lot) I'ma band geek and honestly am in love with this song.
Shout out to all percussionists haha
Why Bari Sax, Tuba, and Bass Clarinet have the best parts and ofc the year I switch away from Bari 😭😭😭
Looking back at our 7th grade pieces as a junior rn..good times as a percussionist☺
Next year is the 10th anniversary 🎉🎉🎉
Trumpet gang 👇
Playing this as the only capable trumpet player in my band class in both fun and a nightmare... But it's a great song so I'm willing to do it!
i am 3rd chair and it is sad because i know i am better than the other two players
thanks for this! it's helping me alot!!! everybody else is a crappy band and this is great
Same 😭
My school band is going to perform this at a festival in April, I play the Alto sax, and after a week of practicing all I can hear is the Saxophones. T-T
Doing lake of sorrows, dragon lord, march, the symphony and darkheart rn and i gotta say ty for keeping my part (chimes and mallets) busy af most purcussionists barely get any interesting parts! Its very fun to play!!
I played Lake of Sorrows last year for concert and i liked the song especially the flute and oboe part, I was oboe last year
Randall Standridge I dont know if you will see my comment or not but I just want to say you inspire me to become a musician and I already made a contest march song like this called March of the Republic and I'm 15 so thank you for inspiring me
I played this song when I was in 7th grade and it’s just one of those songs you never get tired of. It’s one of those songs that leaves you wanting more. I play alto sax but I played flute at the time and the flute part is amazing. I especially like the low sounds part as well. Amazing song!
A Pun, I play flute and it already is stuck in my head.
ayyyy im in 7th rn and i play the alto sax we're gonna play this at our concert
Snare people
👇
this is honestly an amazing piece. we played this (and a few other songs of course) for our MPA just a couple weeks ago and we got straight superiors!
I’m playing it for MICCA with my band, it’s such a great song!
I am trumpet and This is helping my learn this song
For this years festival we were going to play entry of the gladiators and it was our plan for like 3 and a half months and then we got this piece 3 weeks before competition and we are going to play it tommorow
My band got 9th in the whole state of Texas
Which school? (I’m kelly lane)
congrats.
I'm a Euphonium player, and the most fun part about this piece is the trio. I mean at first it seems hard because you need a ton of air to do it, but the final product is show-stopping.
I play tenor sax and I absolutely love this piece
ay me too finally another sax player
I play the Alto and Tenor. Alto in concert and Tenor in Jazz.
BROOOOOO same guys and low brass finally gets the melody 😏😏🔥
1:30 I gotta say is the best part. Even as I trumpet player I get chills
same another tenor player
I got this today and had to sight read it, I can barely see the notes😭
I played this piece a year ago but I still come back to listen to it because this song is honestly the best I've ever played
I’m playing this for my band contest in march( I’m in 7th grade)
every piece of music tells a story, and this one is incredible. i loved playing this song in 7th grade a few years back and i get goosebumps every time i hear it.
Usually accompanied by star wars, gaurdians of the galaxy, and zombie tango
