i played this as a bass clarinet for my district honor band this year, it sounds so much different here from when you're actually playing in the middle of a band, and this song is glorius
I could see this EASILY working on the field for marching band....which probably would cause you major heartburn. But listening to this, it's easy to visualize. GREAT GREAT music and textures. THIS IS GRADE 2?!?!? Wow....I'm old.
This was my first piece of my 8th grade year and my first stab at playing the oboe. I thought this piece was fun and challenging; a great way to start off a year!
My (small school) band played this a few years back. Most of the people who played it have graduated or left but the few who are still here (myself included) can't end their obsession with it.
Yo Randall, I play this with my band and every day we come into a picture of you on a music stand captioned “Randy on a Standy”. Just wanted to let you know we love this song and are hoping to hear more soon :)
i play the alto sax and we do the little background part for you and the tenors during the middle part and i get goosebumps when you guys come in and nearly lose my place each time
Favorite concert band song... like... EVER!!! We did it for middle school district band, and it was clearly a favorite. I got baritone sax, and it took like five minutes to catch my breath after the song
Hi Randall, I'm a huge fan of your music, we will be playing this song at our spring band concert, we are rehearsing it right now and it is really something, I play the flute and I love this piece
We play at least one of your songs each year. Keep up the great music! Our band loves playing it. I play Trombone and we're playing this for competition this year, So much fun.
I am playing this song at the music conference in Louisville,KY........its my favorite song....You have inspired me to take my music more seriously........I just want to say Tank you for the time you put into your music so we can enjoy it.....Thank you Randall
I remember playing this in 8th Grade as a Trumpet. I remember there was the G that no one could play because we were all weaklings lol. I was the only one to play it in the concert... good times... hella nostalgic
Hey, Mr. Standridge! I am a huge fan! I played Skygazer Fanfare last year at my band concert and now I am trying to convince my teacher if we can play this one! Thanks for the awesome music!
I loved going to ACSI festivals at my old school! Too bad our band couldn't play anything cool and complicated. I'm rooting for you! (It was at that moment that she realized this was posted 3 years ago.) Frick.
At 0:38 when the clarinets play there (don’t know what measures) my teacher didn’t let me play that part at the concert because the other girls who played the same part as me couldn’t play it and I could which I found so unfair. Who agrees?
Soundin' like the beginnin' or the endin' of a mid-90's early 00's sci-fi knock-off from Star Wars. Prolly got robot aliens runnin' 'round and their language be wingdings. When I was younger, I thought these songs in band was LIT!
I know, right? I strained to hear any at all! And then I realized that I was lumped in with either clarinet or trumpet the entire time, I was lucky nobody could hear me.
I'm afraid that won't be the case for long, eventually, you will give into the temptations of the tuba, like many before you... (I know this, and I'm not even a tuba player...)
Thank you for the kind comments, I hope you are enjoying the music.
This is a great piece! I played your piece “Dragon Lord” recently for a concert. Absolutely loved it, a great and powerful song like this one.
Played this amazing peice at ALL REGION 24, would recomend, all the parts are so fun to play and no one is left out.

I played the tuba part on this song and loved it SO MUCH!!! Best tuba part I have ever played!!!
No problem on the marching band idea. I am heavy into marching band and write for it all the time.
Dear Mr. Standridge,
I love your music, I am going to school to be a Band Teacher and I will have us perform lots of your music!
1:46 Best part by far. My band teacher agrees
This song is so fun, the trumpet part is so uplifting and makes you so happy
we are playing this in our 7th and 8th grade band at my middle school and I am so excited for the concert
What instrument?

Guys, I don't even remember this song, let alone what I played. Some percussion part I suppose but that's all I got.
Playing this on the mallets! This is a great song!

And after the concert the first and second chair girls looked at me and just go “thanks..” because, they had to drop out before the note.
@@Smonkyyylol
Damn, played this in 6th grade on 1st trumpet. It was epic as hell.
I know it’s been 4 years, but do you get to play the main melody on first trumpet? My band may do it.
@@waybisplayz7301 Yep, every restatement of the fanfare includes the trumpet parts!
@@huntmcdede1238 Awesome! Thanks for letting me know!
This is awesome!

Hey, Mr. Standridge! I am a huge fan! I played Skygazer Fanfare last year at my band concert and now I am trying to convince my teacher if we can play this one! Thanks for the awesome music!
P.s
I'd be super grateful if you came to see our band play in February and give us a few helpful tips to make our band sound great like yours. Please?

We played this last year for a concert. I love the song but I hate how we sounded when we played it 😂
Clarinets, where you at?
At 0:38 when the clarinets play there (don’t know what measures) my teacher didn’t let me play that part at the concert because the other girls who played the same part as me couldn’t play it and I could which I found so unfair. Who agrees?
@@xxcind3rxx284me like broo why would they do this to you 😭🙄
Played this for an honor and get to play imaginarium for mpa this year, I’m so lucky because Mr. Standridge is a god
So exited to play this on my flute for my spring concert :)

中学生の時に吹いた今でも本当に大好きな曲です
どうもありがとうございます！
Very good piece of music. Love It!
sounds amazing. opening part reminds me of "Into The Clouds" by Richard Saucedo
Thank you Mr. Standridge for composing such a wonderful tuba part! I love it!
I am in 6th grade and i play with my 7th adn 8th grade band we play this song and i love it.
Soundin' like the beginnin' or the endin' of a mid-90's early 00's sci-fi knock-off from Star Wars. Prolly got robot aliens runnin' 'round and their language be wingdings. When I was younger, I thought these songs in band was LIT!
I played snare drum on this song my wrists hurt after
Same. I feel you
Your technique probably needs a looking at then...
JakeClashes Listen to the drum...
I know i have seen the music, it should not hurt your wrists if you are using good technique
its not even that hard lmao
in my 6 years of playing band this is my favorite piece by FAR PS: i play trombone
I got outstanding in the our greater southwest compitition for middle schools with this
I play the french horn
Man I love this dudes fanfares especially skygazer
Haha, I play the oboe however I didn't hear one so I got super confused while trying to follow along with the song^^;;
I know, right? I strained to hear any at all!
And then I realized that I was lumped in with either clarinet or trumpet the entire time, I was lucky nobody could hear me.
I love fanfares
i played it on the alto clarinet it was really fun and at the same time hard but once you get it was the best
LOVE IT
Any Tubas that absolutely love this song?
Playing this in my spring consort ( clarinet )
I love playing french horn i am playing this as a 8th grader
8th grade on FH, so much fun! Especially at 1:46
Playing this on Arts Night, I'm excited (Bass Clarinet Player)
if you put it on 0.75 speed it sounds better
Then its not really a fanfare...
this is a beautiful song
Playing the timpani on it it is hard
I play the synthesizer. It is incredibly hard to play!
this song is lit
Yes we do !!
My middle school band is playing this :D
Same
I love my Alto part
Nobody gives snare enough credit. Listen to how fast we have to move our wrists
Nice new pic Randall

You're welcome
If I knew editing the intro would be explored meaning my free roamer gaming would use this intro for it’s sound says adventure
I love baritone need more never enough baritone.
I'm afraid that won't be the case for long, eventually, you will give into the temptations of the tuba, like many before you... (I know this, and I'm not even a tuba player...)
Scornfulbook The Tuba is great....at bein annoying, the Euphonium is the only hope.
or trombone...
(don't hurt me)
I play baritone and there's never enough
