@@TheBryceholden i think it's because they're not bracketed in the music sheet i got, but i felt like they were important places in the piece so i put them in there just in case others felt the same. it's been like, 4 years since i played this piece so i'm not 100% sure lol
This was the funnest percussion thing to play ever. We had everyone doing something. Bass, snare, timpani, sizzle cymbal, crash cymbal, hi-hat, xylophone, marimba, (I had the bells part). All sorts of little accessories. It was incredibly epic.
I remember playing this song in high school. Gary Gilroy actually directed this with us and the way he moved with the music was just so fun and amazing. Incredible guy and incredible music. Can't wait to work with him again.
I was a Bass Clarinetist in High School, we played this in 2010 iirc, 1:40 was my solo and HOT DAMN if I didn't love every second of that funky bassline, it stuck with me forever and I had to go down one heck of a rabbit hole to find this when it got stuck in my head earlier today, lol
I played the oboe I was so jealous of that part I wanted to play it so bad it sounded sooooo gooooddddd then when the clarinets came in ( chefs kiss) 🤌🏾
I remember playing this at distract band about two or three years ago. I still play that clarinet part that starts around 1:56 often when I'm warming up. So great to listen to this piece again!
Got a 1 with this song at State contest. I played the xylophone, marimba, chimes, and vibes in it. it was a lot of fun to have all of those parts to myself. stressful at first but was awesome when I learned all of it. 👍
As a tuba, "I'm in danger". We're working on this as one of our "Hey, it's a virus and we don't have many people in class so let's just play whatever you want." Love the song, These high notes are gonna kill me.
My school's 10th/9th grade band and wind ensemble are playing this together in March. We just got it today. I've only been playing flute for like a year whereas the other flutes have been playing 4-5 years. I am not ready for this XD
I'm playing this for my summer camp, I'm playing clarinet on it and we only have 10 days to practice but by the third day we could play this nearly perfectly. I love the clarinet part for this piece and the percussion parts (:
Diego Garcia hey pal! hope you like being reported, because that just happened to you. Oh, and don't think about reporting me because you are already blocked. Thanks, pumpkin.

I like the timpani its fun and almost no rest
Had the entire mallet to myself say what? :D
The marimba is by far the highlight of my life.
My friend did as well. She was running around to the Marimba, Xylo and Vibraphone. 😭
mallet runner gangz
Same😭

Greatest song ever! Me on bassoon and my friend on bass clarinet ROCKED the stealthy-spy part.
Oh how I loved bass clarinet and bassoon part.
LOVE this song. I've listened to it about 25 times without getting tired of it.

i remember i playing this in 8th grade. I was the only decent mallet player doing all the solo's so you would just see me running across the stage
I remember playing this at distract band about two or three years ago. I still play that clarinet part that starts around 1:56 often when I'm warming up. So great to listen to this piece again!
And here we are three years later. Do you happen to have any tips?
he came and directed this at our district band

I’m a third chair freshman trumpet playing this on first part. pray for me
As a saxophone player, I absolutely love the part I get in this song, a very key role and a fun melody to play, it's a phenomenal piece!
In percussion and this song is so amazing to play, but you have to really listen

I'm not sure we needed to know this ...
Thank you for the vital information, ignore that other guy.
I had to learn this in one week for band camp

We're playing this in our Symphonic Band and it is really fun to play. I like it.
I played lead trumpet on this, and the night of our concert my other lead was sick, so it was all up to me! My lips were so dead afterward.
I played this in my 6th Grade Honor's Band when I was in 5th grade.
I love how intense it is
As a tuba, "I'm in danger". We're working on this as one of our "Hey, it's a virus and we don't have many people in class so let's just play whatever you want." Love the song, These high notes are gonna kill me.
I remember playing this in 6th grade with the other middle schools in our town and our high school.. Such a fun piece!
The most fun mallet part in the world to play. What a great piece.
I feel like I'm actually flying a spitfire
Listen to this live. End of story
What does that mean?
my high school band played this in St. Patrick's Cathedral last year in Dublin, Ireland....gives me the chills just thinking about it....
this was the funnest thing we played when i was in high school we enjoyed it alot
We're playing it in concert band, I can imagine that some of the time signatures would be very difficult to march to
Last year 9th grade I played this, I played the gong, vibra slap, suspended cymbal , basically auxiliary percussion :) it was so much fun
My school's 10th/9th grade band and wind ensemble are playing this together in March. We just got it today. I've only been playing flute for like a year whereas the other flutes have been playing 4-5 years. I am not ready for this XD
The horns are amazing
Playing it is really fun too, had an amazing horn section when we played it in districts
Man do I love playing piccolo for this piece in our symphonic band
I played this freshman year. It was fun playing the awesome stealth like parts on the bass clarinet. Oh how I wish i could play this piece again.
By far my favorite band piece I’ve ever played....I remember sweating so much because of all the counting + meter changes 😅
Play a few Gilroy arrangement so far in high school, it gives such energy to me. I love this one in particular.
yeah i remember playing this in grade 11 band. sounded SOO amazing! 1st trombone ^_^
I'm playing this in my high school honor band ( I'm in 10th grade) and I play baritone.
I'm playing this for my summer camp, I'm playing clarinet on it and we only have 10 days to practice but by the third day we could play this nearly perfectly. I love the clarinet part for this piece and the percussion parts (:
That’s great! I’m also a clarinet, have any tips? Going to high school cool in 2 years.
@@keshu_771 i found it better to push myself to play higher notes which were outside my comfort zone and to play on vandoren 3 reeds
@@haileyiskool by higher notes, like above the register or much higher
@@haileyiskool I have memoized all the notes

i played this in my 2010 marching season it was really fun
Awesome! I am playing this in All-State next month, and this sounds great. Thanks!
my director decided to give this to us to learn at home during the pandemic. Never had I been so challenged by time signature changes.
This song is super cool!! I wish I could play this song on a wind instrument or just go to a concert and hear them play this.
The Walker Valley Symphonic Band played this. It was awesome.
The OaKhurst Community Band played this tune, with Gary Conducting. It was a BLAST/
epic percussion
We played this song for our Christmas concert, but NOWHERE near as fast
I'm going to be playing this on marimba in a few months. Good stuff.
I love playing this song as a Piccolo player like if you play piccolo
in my school band the high schools did it with about percussion players so they had to run around which made it cool xD

My band is thinking about playing this as one of our songs for comp
I'm playing that marimba solo in my high school band (and then a duet)
