It sounds beautiful but it doesn't live up to the original song. This is one of those poppier renditions of it, when High Hopes is a bit more loud and brash and inspiring.
Personally, I don't feel like it's rushed at all. Pep band/marching band tunes typically need to be fairly quick to keep interest and match the energy that said bands put out. The recording of this piece may also be deceptive to how the song is intended to sound. Being a marcher in Purdue's AAMB, in which Matt Conaway partly directs and composes for, I can definitely vouch that the sheer power of this song will shine with large bands especially.
Sorry to be offtopic but does anyone know a method to get back into an instagram account? I somehow forgot the password. I would love any help you can give me!
@Kylan Corey Thanks for your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm in the hacking process atm. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
to people who say it's rushed 1: you're not in band/highschool band 2: pep band and marching music do tend to go faster 3: FEEL IT STILL IS SO MUCH FASTER THAN THIS, GOD DAMN
My friend and I caused our high school pep band to play fire by Jimmy Hendrix in 45 seconds. This song is slow compared to half of the songs in our book
what’s crazy is that people are saying this is fast, but if you conduct it, it’s really not. there’s just a bunch of sixteenth notes making it seem rushed, when in reality it’s not
Pep band songs and marching band songs are basically the same thing. Just we use some of those songs to MARCH with, others are just to pep people up for a good time
I have this song for the boys number in show choir this year and it’s really fast and hard it has nothing to do with band singing and dancing and it’s fast
Dawg this is like a top tier marching band performance. Noone's rushing. It sounds like a march. I'm just convinced people look at one marching band performance and think they know everything about it.
i know it's just me who notices, but arrangements like this always abbreviate horn as "hn." but never abbreviate tuba. why? they're both 4 letters. idk it bugs me.
as a horn player, it's probably because the horn is usually called "horn in f" or "f horn" in scores, so it's more letters than tuba which is never referred to as "tuba in c" or whatever
Exactly, it is usually call horn in f so they abbreviate It. But if you have say like a Eb horn or a b flat horn it will probably say just hn. Just watch out for that but it isn’t that common
My two cents as a tuba player. It is because you can never have too much tuba but you can have too much horn so they have to shorten it to add a visual queue.
Hey, bands playing 70’s-80’s music is awesome. We played Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, You Shook Me All Night Long and Dream On in our last show and (minus the trumpets, no offense to the trumpets) we sounded pretty good! I personally wouldn’t want to be playing all the songs in the years 2016-2020 because they suck..
Proud2BeAWeirdo XD I’m a fresh meat though and the first time I saw pep band music I wanted to die (metaphorically). I liked playing pep band music ever since 8th grade it’s just difficult and I’m always going to be 2nd or 3rd trumpet because I am the king of succ.
Asianly Communist I’m a junior, first year of marching band was last year (I changed schools last year) and our old pep band songs were so incredibly boring in my old school because nobody was “peppy” but now I LOVE it because there is just so much energy!
No other choice.. I’m in wind ensemble (I auditioned last year and got in this year) but I can’t even play right now because of COVID. Our school is doing first, second and third periods first semester, fourth, fifth and sixth periods second semester. Wind ensemble is playing next semester and I end up crying a lot because band is the only way to distract me from the outside world. Also, I’m a flute, and I love it 🥰
I'm in marching and middle school band. I"m waiting till' pep band come around. I'm only in 7th grade and play the Alto Sax. I also wanna do Jazz band for the high school and middle school but, you have to be in 8th grade or higher
This channel is literally where my marching band got the majority of our songs, so obviously a lot of the music is for mb purposes. The "quick" tempo is normal for mb. Chill.
The People Who Say It Is Rushed Sound Like There In Middle School And Not Highschool Marching Band Im A 10 Grader Been In Band Since 6 And This Song Is In Our Stand Tunes And We Play It At This At The Same Speed As They Play It
We are playing this in 8th grade band for a parade and MY BAND TEACHER NEVER TAUGHT THE CLAIRENET GROUPS WHAT THE HIGH NOTES ARE SO THE CLARENET SECTION IS LIKE "uhhhh a b b a a bb a a b b b b ba. a a " with random notes 🙄
Always a good thing to ask the band director. I was never taught the palm keys on alto sax by my director until I personally asked. But it's been 2 years since your comment so you are probably a sophomore in highschool now lol.
Just on note, if you get this piece from JWPepper.com, the font is soooo tiny that some regular people in my band need it enlarged. I'm albino so I have ALL my music enlarged but this musics font (the paper) is TINEY!!!!
to all you people saying that it sounds bad and it's too rushed, that's how it is. Sound is from speakers and speed comes from how you have it set on your settings. It's amazing.
Tempo may be a few clicks up on the metronome from the original, but the demo group playing it is holding to it. It sounds a little thin to me, but that could be due to a number of factors.
Where it says F horn in the beginning don't mind that at all, the other instruments are louder and then the horn is barely heard,besides in orchestras and in solos
This is a challenge. You know how I know, because my band IS playing this song. It's high school level but I'm pretty good at rhythm and memorization and fast paced songs. Its supposed to be fast. It's hard just to make it sound cooler.
people are saying its bad and whatnot but its actually pretty good. being a composer is hard, but judging one is easy and people seem to abuse that power.
Blu Wolf it’s not rushed.... explain to me how it is rushed. Also, marching band pieces are supposed to be rushed. It engages the audience and makes it fun for the players. Not a single member of band that I know of wants to play a pep band song SLOWLY.. it gets boring
It’s best to cut to the chase as soon as possible in a pep band score. You gotta keep it flowing and the audience interested. That’s why half the intro, the second verse, and the second chorus were taken out.
Dunn & Dunn I disagree because adding the entire intro would’ve kept the audience even more ineterested because the first half part of the intro is so beautiful
A Fool’s Baby Bear literally all pep/marching band songs have SOME parts cut out. If we played the ENTIRE song, almost everybody would lose interest. A usual pep song is around 2-3 minutes long just to keep the audience entertained. It’s not so we play the entire song. That’s how marching band songs work
Had to have high, high hopes for a living Shooting for the stars when I couldn't make a killing Didn't have a dime but I always had a vision Always had high, high hopes Mama said Fulfill the prophecy Be something greater Go make a legacy Manifest destiny Back in the days We wanted everything, wanted everything Mama said Burn your biographies Rewrite your history Light up your wildest dreams Museum victories, everyday We wanted everything, wanted everything Mama said don't give up, it's a little complicated All tied up, no more love and I'd hate to see you waiting Had to have high, high hopes for a living Shooting for the stars when I couldn't make a killing Didn't have a dime but I always had a vision Always had high, high hopes Had to have high, high hopes for a living Didn't know how but I always had a feeling I was gonna be that one in a million Always had high, high hopes (high, high hopes) Mama said It's uphill for oddities Stranger crusaders Ain't ever wannabes The weird and the novelties Don't ever change We wanted everything, wanted everything
It’s not rushed, that’s how marching band works.. gosh, you ppl are so dumb when it comes to marching band 🤦🏼♀️ join marching band, then see how nobody wants to play it slow and see how boring it is to play a pep band song, that’s meant to be upbeat and fun, slowly.
I feel like this doesn't have the energy it should. The tempo is great, but the energy needs to be there. To me, this is more of a song to play in the bleachers.
I can see what you mean. The reason I agree is different, though. I think it's better suited as a stand tune because of the tempo. If you were to march it at the written tempo, it would be quite slow, which wouldn't translate the energy well, and marching in double time could become confusing if you don't chart it right, not to mention strenuous, especially for younger groups.
Me after a school concert: Hey we didn't do so bad!
Listens to a Hal Leonard Band song: Dang we suck
Amy Lu facts
Amy Lu agreed
Agreed with my school’s band the saxes are always off
Hey, at least you actually have saxes.
Omg Matt Conaway is the assistant director for my marching band I didn't realize how many music songs we played by him
I like how a lot of people act like they know what they are talking about. Like im an actual band member for 10 years and it sounds great.
DJ Space vader same
Ikr
It sounds beautiful but it doesn't live up to the original song. This is one of those poppier renditions of it, when High Hopes is a bit more loud and brash and inspiring.
Same here
Not every song will do that because then what's the point because then it would become borning

Yeah, bro 😊
I'm so excited! For my senior show, we get to play this and Victorious! I can't wait!
To the people saying that the song is rushed it's not, trust me we played this song in our show this year.
Marching band tempos are fast so this actually sounds like a marching band piece.
The Reebstir bro. Read the description. It is a marching band song
Pep band songs and marching band songs are basically the same thing. Just we use some of those songs to MARCH with, others are just to pep people up for a good time
I- when your too happy because you can actually hear the instrument you play for once-
Yes- also I’m a flute-
SAME BRO SAME
Me too! Dream come true right there
Me too!
Bro im a trumpet and im excited!! I try SO HARD to let yall be hard but i started thinking it was impossible
YESS
Yayyy flutes and piccolos finally get their moment in the spotlight 💗💗
bruh that’s literally all i hear in my marching show, if anything i’m glad that trombone got some of the spotlight
we're playing this for first show this year and i love it!!!
I’m in the low brass but MORE LOUDER PERCUSSION
Right!? I feel like this recording would have a lot more energy if the drumline was just a little stronger.
Easily correct lol
I did this in seventh grade and it was so fun. I definitely recommend.
We had this for our opener in our show. Loved it!

Dawg this is like a top tier marching band performance.
Noone's rushing.
It sounds like a march.
I'm just convinced people look at one marching band performance and think they know everything about it.
1:00 was the biggest let down ever. I was expecting big and loud after the build up :/
Sips' Number One Fan lmao you mean like the actual song?!
That's just how the original song goes, but yeah they should have just gone straight to the main chorus
Actually my friend and I take it up an octave there because it’s so quiet so it would stand out above the band
Wow Sips' Number One Fan I am his 724th Fan
Your right, it should have been a bit louder than it was
I really enjoy this song.
It sounds so much better in person, honestly. Still great, though.
If y’all have AirPods listen to it with them it sounds amazing
nah I would raycons because airpods have no bass and when you can hear the bass on this oml it's so good lol
@@SnowFall705 *too much bass to cover up the bad sound profile
It isn’t rushed, it’s perfectly fine. I play trombone, and I feel it works well.

ive been in band for 7 years now, i want to play this song as this is my last year until im in msu
We still play this 😭😭❤❤
If only my band directors would choose this song... instead of 70's-80's music... ;(
Mine did choose this song. This is why I'm here
Don’t worry. 20-30 years from now all you’ll hear are today’s generation of music

Very Nice Song
Raise your hand if this would make good marching music or stand tunes🙌
just me then
🙌
Im in band and this sounds so good better how would do it.
I need to play this!!
Honestly it sounds great because if ur actually in band u know that everything has to be fairly quick for limited time
I’m just confused why there’s no bari, I mean, wasn’t that the instrument used in the actual song.
If you mean Bari sax its because this is a marching band piece, and marching with a bari sax isn't done often
@@workshopman1551 the bari player in our marching band marches tuba. Idk why, but we have 2 bari players who march it
The bari part is the tuba part
When I play Bari, I’m given the tuba part. All you need to do is read the tuba part as is, but change the key signature to whatever the alto’s is
Bari normally plays tuba parts if there isn't one already written for them
In the beginning fade in not an exact beat but still love it.
This is so good :0
