Im an 8th grade trumpet player and my middle schools honors wind ensemble is playing this, I'm playing the first trumpet part and it is so hard! But great song!! Its a lot of fun to play and even if your band isn't playing it, you should find the music and learn it!! Love this song!
I love this song. My band teacher told me (a Choir nerd) he needed me in band so he could have a percussionist who could read music (LOL). This was the first song I had to do, and I had all four mallet parts to myself!!! Intense.
Incredible!!! how much time was put into this piece?!?!?!?!?!?!?! I love James swearingen especially his piece Excalibur TRUMPETS ARE THE BEST ESPECIALLY IN OVERTURES
our band has this piece in the first lineup, this piece is cool, kinda hard at my case because I play the horn in Eb, the piece was in F... got to transpose
For 8th grade promotion, we played this song at that speed, too. In my opinion, it sounds better that way :P. But that's just my opinion. Still, great video!!
8th grade year. . .B/2 rating. i'm trying to conduct this for the end of the year concert. . . which is 2 days from now. . .i found out 2 days ago. . . never conducted before. xD *dead*
I played this my seventh grade year. it was slightly challenging then, but I had only been playing my instrument for a year. it's pretty easy. =D what instrument/part do you play?
While you might not enjoy a piece, it is rude the way you expressed such dislike. You might have simply said that it is not one of the songs you enjoy, and he is a composer you aren't exactly fond of, but *you're ( @burnsyboy1918 ) not dumb.
You know what. I play this song on competition. and win. but my band are only the band that send on competition on my area. Lol second round I was lose.
the song is good and all i'm playine it in by band but it's so easy. The one really good play is: First suite in Eb flat. That's the best piece in the world
DON'T TAKE THIS THE WRONG WAY Was this in japan or something cuz all I saw was Japanese(I think) players so of course this piece was played 5/5! Compared to this school my school sucks... really. Anyway that was great!
how i missed the brassband.. hey! check out the part of the clarinet..maybe clar is not that popular but i'm proud i can play it well. sax is easy than clarinet..if u dunno..
My band is playing this at Central District festival in NC...and basically yall need a cymbal player in the fast part... and accents...Don't hear them. everything else was perfect.
damn that was a long time ago. . . i didn't bother looking at youtube comments. D: anyway. . .i copied mostly what he did and it worked out fine. . . i want a chance to conduct again though. i kept flipping my fucking bangs and i could have been a little more enthusiastic with my conducting. =/ oh well. . .
WOOO HOOOO!!!!!! let's go clarinets!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that's what i play and we're playing this in my middle school band cause we so awesome!
I love this piece!! Very well played!! Trumpets, flutes, and the trombones sound amazing!

Timpanist is such a beautiful girl :)
I play trombone
But now I can play it decently
It was hard when I first started XD
Why is James Swearingen's songs' pattern are almost the same ? (Like Celebration and Dance or Novena Overture For Band)
Let's go trumpets! >w<
Bass Drum pride
Tuba Rocks
the speed is aright. its normal if i'm not mistaken. nice band
If I can play only that like you. I must run around the band for punishment.
For beginner that good.
keep Practice.
honkida!
You know what. I play this song on competition. and win. but my band are only the band that send on competition on my area. Lol second round I was lose.
Im a trombonist lol played this piece too its simple
@ErvvMeUp Preach..
We are playing this in my band.
I can't get it right even on 3rd trumpet and 1st is WAY to high.
@ranger2613 yay clarinets! :D
the song is good and all i'm playine it in by band but it's so easy.
The one really good play is:
First suite in Eb flat.
That's the best piece in the world
i play flute.:D ♥
sounds a lot better than our one per part band playing it. but anyway go trumpets!
DON'T TAKE THIS THE WRONG WAY
Was this in japan or something cuz all I saw was Japanese(I think) players so of course this piece was played 5/5!
Compared to this school my school sucks... really.

go percussion!
i play baritone leh...somemore i in primary only...
My band is playing this at Central District festival in NC...and basically yall need a cymbal player in the fast part...
and accents...Don't hear them. everything else was perfect.
how come the beginning is that fast? it's supposed to be maestoso ain't it?

i kept flipping my fucking bangs and i could have been a little more enthusiastic with my conducting. =/

I don't think that it is a school band
look at the tubas and baritones, they look a little older, so do some of the trumpets
