Right? I saw this young while in school too and I was so motivated. I play trumpet and looking back this cornet part is relatively simple (as the title suggests!) if beautiful, so I think that's why the director exposed me to it early. Even simple parts can be amazingly beautiful; play to your ability. What an insidious bastard...good on him.
Wow. I know my old band director was in Blast (he's either a trombone or euph but I can't find him in here to point him out), but I didn't realize the version of Simple Gifts we used to stage at our end-of-the-year show was made so similar to this one. This is very cool. Since we have a new band director now people aren't so much into the whole staging thing anymore, but I'm going to try really hard to get something like this again.
This is all taken straight out of Aaron Copland's Appalachian Spring, especially starting at 3:09. The phrasing and voicing are nearly identical to his original orchestral composition, the only differences really being key signature and instrumentation. But I dig this whole production from top to bottom, so it's great stuff either way.
I grew up listening to this (it's how I best know the Simple Gifts tune) and now that I'm taking a music history course, I knew the voicing in Appalachian Spring sounded familiar!

学校の音楽の授業でビデオを見せられてから何年間もずっと頭から離れない
大好き
I was fortunate to see this show live twice. It was wonderful. I wish they would tour it again.
Went to DCI for the first time this year and it’s so cool to know that’s where this grew from!
Love the pause step over the guard section....Cavaliers, 1960's
My band teacher showed us this show in 5th grade and I absolutely loved it

These are Drum Corps Veterans! Nice talents huh!!!
How cool for those Minnesota kids to have Ben Harloff as their band director!
Michael Moffatt holy shit I didn't even recognize him, what a legend he is
They're doing my mum's dance from the Miamisburg 1995 show!!!
Those basses sound like tubas. I love it
I’m so glad this wasn’t a fever dream of mine and that it actually exists!!
I saw this in 8th grade, such a shaping moment

The Star Of Indiana we miss you
This doesn't capture what it was like to be in the audience and experience this in person. I hope they put this show together again
Doesn’t at all.
My band teacher showed us this last school year and the year before that and I fell in love with it

We were blessed by, the vision of, Bill Cook... He was a special Friend in-Music..
So simple....so pure....
This is my marching bands opener except we don't sing is really close to santa Clara's simple gifts
is there a video of your school's band on youtube? if there is, what the name?
I went to a blast concert and well it was a blast!!!
thats some awesome timing...these girls are good
Love it.
Three words. Santa. Clara. Vanguard.
Three words. Star Of Indiana

Muy grande Copland.

It’s incredible.
je ne me lasse pas de ceci
I wanna know who that trumpet soloist is. Hes amazing!
Benjamin Kelly I think you're right. thanks for telling me! you're so lucky to be able to know him. he's amazing!
it would be really cool to though
The cadets are using this as their closer this year
Too bad it's not as good. Or as good when they did it in 1987
I think SCV did a really good job on it in my opinion.
Noel B. Rivera fuck yeah they did
Smurfs on ColecoVision!
I just shant my pant
It'd be a simple gift to have a black or brown person in the cast.
it'd be better if there were simply the best performers on stage instead of having to meet some stupid diversity quota
+Darkhg that's what i mean
Channel Three Got 'em.
Seriously, STFU!!!
There is actually, not in this part of the show but in the percussion section in other parts of the show.
