When I was in middle school, our high school played this song for their marching band show. It was an epic show, better than any one of the years I was in marching band after that. Even 25 years later, I still think about this song often. And I never even played it.
I played at one time in orchestra I played the 🥁,and then in high school I played the bass clarinet and got to experience both sides of this music 🎵 I really really enjoyed the time I had with Mr. Robert W Smith. What a great composer, what a wonderful musician, what a man he was. I will always listen and remember the time I had.the fun and joyous moments in music seem like a lifetime ago but we can always re visit and re play what we love best! ❤❤
We did a full level 6 program my senior year and this was the cherry on top, learning this song was a task but we ended up getting gold and winning a Hershey competition with this song so it holds a special place in my heart. By far one of my favorite pieces
Love this piece! Some parts remind me a lot of Into the Storm. My school did a marching show with Into the Storm a few years back, and it was pretty awesome.
My director mentioned wanting to use this as a marching band show at some point... I want to still be in school whenever he does it. If not, I'm seeing that show lol
Yeah Me Too! This Is One of My ALL TIME Favorite Pieces By Robert W. Smith. Robert W. Smith Is A Very Good Friend Of Mine & My Dad. I had the opportunity to meet him at one of my schools when he guest conducted this piece and gave me an autographed score of this. We played this my senior year in high school in which I played the piano part and BOY!!! It was awesome and the adjudicators gave us A Superior Rating for it.
I played clarient 2 for this. IT WAS SO FUN! It was so upbeat and I love everything about it! It was jazzy to me and I couldn't help but dance in my seat a little when the groovy parts came on! I wanna play this with a full band again. It sounds amazing.

It is unfortunate that he passed away yesterday, but it's nice to see that his music will live on for years to come
I like how at 6:40 on the second page it labels the hns as tpts.

I stumbled upon this and was able to sing along with it all. I haven’t heard it since about 2001 and still remember it!
Finally the full version
At 69, I was surprised for every instrument to have the same rhythm
Very fun piece! I was confused when the horn line said "tpts" at 122, but I figured it out :)
Daniel FHorn I saw that too and was confused until the correction on the next page.
So, what does that mean?
Edit: nvm
holy shit the woodwind runs on bari sax are hard
The change into key of C is rare
Why are there ads in the middle of the song? Very annoying
Me on trumpet one as a freshmen 👍
I’m not lying I did trumpet 1k go, I also did piano in slower wrea
The whale song sound like a ship has sunk
It is creepy
Yes
