If that don't get your heart racing,your dead.
i enjoy :)
I can see the Peabody ducks marching 🎉🎉🎉
Is the best I ever heard before. I liked so much every day and still hearing for the entire eternity🇵🇦
3:28 Start of Tuba Excerpt
The Military Two Step is danced to this. Very fetching to see.
There actually are pros and cons in everything... My honest and straight-forward impression is that I like Orange Devils' play far better than this OCSB. I heard some out-of-tune sounds (noise, actually) in OCSB's play and overall sound does not let me imagine the song is about "His Honor." The play by Orange Devils on the other hand does give me strong impression enough to imagine it is about "His Honor" with definite strength, vivid accent and power in their play.
played this as a closing piece at my last high school band concert
This was an honor to premiere
This song was covered by a Japanese band of high school students called OrangeDevil. I came to hear how other bands performed, but as expected, professional bands are amazing. Sorry for comparing them to high school students. 日本のOrangeDevilという高校生のバンドがこの曲を取り上げました。 他のバンドがどういう演奏をしてるのか聴きに来たのですが、 やはり、プロのバンドは素晴らしいですね。 高校生と比較してごめんなさい。
Music for the mind and hearth.
Its all fun in games until you actually play it. 🙂
Ain't that something
So lovely ❤
beautiful
No
Is perfect
Sounds like ass
Knight rider brought me here
Wonderful! So much energy! A very great community of delightful music! Thank you!
Semper Fidelis always was and excellent music this song have sense because this music elevated the honor of many people who fight on a war id the reason why never going to.get down for the eternity🇵🇦
wow i was looking for a recording of this, not expecting to find one where i am performing in it ! ! . . . . many fond memories living in O.K.C. and performing with the late Gene Smith, R.I.P. my friend you are missed.
I PLAY this often..as i adore this piece by GG.
A jazz piece written for concert band, we played this, the senior's last concert, I will always cherish this song because of the message I feel that it sends me.
What the hell happened at 0:45 in the snare drum?
i love this piece...............i play it often....but i love this arrangement for orchestra...thanks.
SLAYER
Una de mis marchas predilectas de este gran compositor marcial estadounidense, como fue John Philip Sousa. Todo un clásico en la extensión de la palabra.
FINALLY. A conductor who understands the final four measures. Great performance!
played with technical expertise AND feeling. and a by-god "blues on the oboe" part!
I've noticed recently that Erin is the best oboe player in this band 1:19 Just thought I'd share
First lol
wow!!
Very nice job. We just played it tonight (12-10 2018) and I was the English horn player. Greetings and best wishes from the Lincoln Community Concert Band , Lincoln NE.
Lebo25 Thank you for your comments. I was the EH player on the video and it’s nice to hear from a colleague. It is a great solo part.
@@OklahomaCitySymphonicBand It is indeed a fine solo part. Another piece of Dr Reed's. the Armeinan Dances also has lovely English horn work in both the !st part and the second part. The second is less well known but has the best Eh part. If you've never played either you're in for a real treat. Hope you have or get the chance. He did write nicely for our Instrument.. Also nice to meet another Eh player. Not many of us. For many years I was both oboe and Eh as needed but had to give up the oboe in 2009 to an arthritic hand problem. So glad it did not affect my Eh playing. I'm mostly retired now but still do play Eh parts when asked. It was my main instrument in college.
I grew up in Fremont! I now live in Topeka, KS. My maid of honor, Kathryn, plays both oboe & English horn. She’s from San Antonio, & we met @ Augustana College in Sioux Falls, SD; she ended up @ Augie because her godfather was Lawrence Welk’s accordianist, Myron Floren, & he was an Augustana alumnus. During the time we were at Augustana (1997-2001 for me, she started two years later), the first & last pieces of this medley, Children's Prayer & Cathedral Chorus, were the centerpiece of the Christmas Vespers service, which included all 3 of Augie’s choral groups; Kathryn & I both sang in the Women's Choir. While the Brass Choir played the piece, the members of all 3 choirs would form a cross down the main aisle of the church & in front of the communion railing; we stood with our heads bowed until the massive timpani roll (@ 12:13 in this video), at which point we all raised our heads at the same moment. I came looking for a video of this piece after I heard it on Kansas Public Radio on Classical Music in the afternoon.
SSSLLLAAAYYYEEEERRRRRDD
Fine sounding group.
Playing that Trumpet solo makes me happy
