It’s really not that bad, except for a few of the quarter note runs. But after doing them several times you get muscle memory and it’s fine. Not that bad.
bro... i was aux on this and i was JUGGLING all the instruments. i had crash cymbal, suspended cymbal, brake drum, mallet percussion, tam tam if it's in this piece?.. it was a lot of really fast switches, but it was fun!! rlly complicated setup though, lol.
I'm the auxiliary percussionist and I have to deal with tambourine, suspended cymbal, crash cymbal, claves, castanets, triangle, sleigh bells and temple blocks split between three songs. My setup is… cumbersome.
I’m playing 1st trombone for this in day band at school and how is this a grade 3 piece when there is a fricking high B flat in the 1st trombone part?!
All of you talking about grade 3 I think that means actually the 8th grade band because it’s year 3 of middle school (possibly idk) makes more sense that way
my high school is having a hard time with this so called grade 3 piece haha
Jade Diaz same
Same
we’re playing this for our spring concert, and tbh we sound really good
the imperial march in this version is great
I guess. But the original is monumentally better
Grade 3? Yea ok.
At least grade 4.5
i saw the sheet at first and freaked out 💀
Definitely 4.5

@@KM-pd5od what 8nstument do you play because all I see the whole piece is 8th 16th and 32nd notes

I get what you mean. For one song I was probably playing over 10 instruments, switching simultaneously, but man it's such an exhilarating feeling.

i never even noticed that… foul
lol
I also played first trombone for this part so I feel you!
Trying to play the Imperial March on bass guitar is damn near impossible
Oh c'mon this cannot be a grade three piece

This is like at least a grade 4
Or 3 1/2 grade 4 is much harder
@@box3229 if Cumberland cross is a 4 I think this sets the standard
Seeing this now I think it should be a grade 4 or at the most a 5
rip 1st clarinet
I played it in 8th grade its not that bad
Aidan Rutledge what year did you start band though
Over here! Just got this piece and I am freaking out...
marta kalmar how you gonna play this with online school
@@karvz1 dunno. I'm hoping not
fricken saxophones have to play that swing ugh
This is a grade 3?!
It's a pretty challenging Grade 3 piece, especially those Clarinet and Alto Sax runs in the beginning.
a good middle school could play it
trumpet first is pretty hard
@@thomaszhang5437 im 1st trumpet in symphonic its not that hard tbh lol , you can look up ivcms symphonic band , we played it
@weirdo Music How?
HOW IS THIS GRADE 3???? for woodwinds it’s like kinda insane (I’m a flute and piccolo player). Like-
The fucking first tbn part at 148-151!! Holy shit that's high!
the B flat?
@@atthena__ Yes
I had those high notes.
@@anthonytrivisonnojr bro I hated that note.

If you play Baritone Sax, bring a book or something
So, no Flag Parade?
Kinda nice, not gonna lie
I'm a grade 4 flute and this piece has to be a grade 5 in concert band grading
everyone: this is grade three???
me, having played it in my middle school honor band: ...
