This was my audition piece for drum major. I had to learn how to do 7/4 time sig. I don’t miss the duties of drum major but I miss conducting

[@jvc9987]

I'm planning on conducting this for my drum major audition. How did you conduct 7/4? So far I conducting in 4/4 and switching it to 3/4 and just been doing that for the 9 measures

[@johnnytheyoungmaestro]

​@@jvc9987 In this case, it would be easier to split it up as 3/4 + 4/4, and then 4/4 + 3/4. Alternate between that, and it will come together in a way that you and the musicians themselves can understand.

[@jvc9987]

​@Johnny the Young Maestro awesome thank you so much!

[@js_musicmedia8981]

At the end, our trumpets play a full C chord, but the octave above the staff. The ones with best range end the show on a double G

[@noahhawthorne6866]

And I thought our band was cool by having trumpets add a couple of high C's to the ending chord

[@JohnJApanovitch]

An absolute monster of a work by an incredible composer, and arranged by another incredible composer. Fantastic job!!

[@SplashpotionsMC]

Horn solo 😍

[@ZDBlake15]

I love this cause it sounds like a Pokémon battle theme

[@jerryromero115]

In my sophomore year, my band played this as our marching show. The music was AMAZING!

[@iAmNovaFilms]

Anywhere I can find a video?

[@jerryromero115]

Sorry man, the video isn't on youtube

[@dedede5586]

[@myasnuggs7097]

Omg in so excited. This is my show for this year

[@KillerRaspberry]

Tea Time Lucky

[@elijahvaldivia3729]

This is my show for this year

[@myasnuggs7097]

@@KillerRaspberry We were the talk of our district cause we had awesome props and dances and packed with our bent leg marching. It made it very majestic. Listening to it and watching it on video( I was marching) gave me goosebumps

[@jameswaller717]

I love this music.
I really wish I was up to standard with DCI.
And that I came over to March with Blue knights.

[@SuperJonrocks]

Phantom did it in 2007.

[@alexboltz3081]

I'm marching this with the Marching Knights high school marching band

[@Overide447]

Played this my freshman show...now a senior. Was so much fun.

[@guyplus3053]

Same here. We played this down at the Peach bowl back in 2003/4. Good times...

[@andywillis3704]

I played Key Poulan’s arrangement of the firebird suite last year. You should check it out in the marching band section of keypoulanmusic.com

[@eth61920]

I think this may be the closer in our show this year. We still haven't gotten the music for it

[@KillerRaspberry]

That Binge Watcher wow, you get good/cool show music

[@iteinflammateomnia]

Oh helllllll yes.

[@luiscobos21]

Phantom Regiment?

[@HyukBurgersTV]

[@mmay9107]

[@randomthoughtsbytaryn5636]

And Legacy Lightning High School's show this year

[@oliverbrooke2937]

Conducting this song is so much fun

[@leoarevalo6786]

The og version is better in my opinion

[@kierstenfultz9770]

this is in our show this year! ☺

[@Erikgarcia312]

same

[@yaktv_linda]

Me too

[@ezra433]

Lol I was about to be like same but this comment was made four years ago so I guess I'm a little late for that.

[@m4rshadow441]

This is in my show for this year!! It’s one of my favorites. :)

[@cameronremrey3546]

v6nish part of this was our 4th movement! Our show was called from the ashes

[@JoLynnPaulsen0402]

closer for our show this year. Beyond excited. it's my sophmore year and my first year on Mello. I'm auditioning for the solo around septmeber when we start intense rehearsals. Wish me luck. The solo is honestly easy to sight-read. I think the only thing that would be a problem is the tone of the horn itself. so excited to pick up my baby and hit hard this schoolyear.

[@giot2627]

jo p. it's our closer, my freshman year

[@oliverbrooke2937]

It’s our closer too, and my junior year. Good luck dude! :)

[@ninjaian06]

I played a variation of this for my freshmen year in marching band and damn do i love this piece

[@leoarevalo6786]

[@GOODNGHT]

[@SuperJonrocks]

[@zealousnote4239]

Too bad the flute solo went to the trumpet but it is understandable.

[@RennaBennz]

you can tell a non percussionist wrote the percussion parts

[@razimoh12]

the chromatic part sounds like Zelda

[@144adex3]

Just because you can do it doesn't mean you should......

[@aycc-nbh7289]

144adex I was actually working on my own arrangement a while back. It is truly a test of how much a marching band can endure.

[@andonmefford9142]

Played this my freshman year...

2:30 is this canon

[@thepianodad1]

Yes those are the last few chords in Canon

[@kirakustime1215]

The "canon" warmup that phantom Regiment has played since 2003 is a combination of Pachelbel's Canon in D and Stravinsky's Firebird. The last few chords in the arrangement are transcribed directly from "Firebird." Phantom Regiment transcribed the last few chords of their "canon" warmup from Firebird as well.

[@DocHollidayGames]

No, I'd say it's fan fiction.

[@elijahvaldivia3729]

Where the bari sax

[@leoarevalo6786]

With tuba

[@TroubleLightCoasters]

blasmephy to remove the mello sustain

[@Ellie-kk5pq]

we played this in 7th grade

[@WrenchBreaker]

how you supposed to march 7/4 wut

[@TheSilver13579]

Wrench Breaker make each set two measures long (14 counts/steps)

[@dpguinee]

you have to do some right foot step offs. either that or just continually march without stopping

[@alena4920]

actually wasn't that bad
