You’re not just a gladiator, you are the entire colosseum.

@@noonelaughed6598 so?
@@noonelaughed6598 it’s a fucking meme it’s not that big of a deal
Your are the entire circus
Or you are the entire CIRCUS!!
When played in this tone, it really does sound like the military march it was intended to be.
People are talking about how good the song is and I’m thinking about how I thought Fucik was the f word
@@jhova lol u watched this about 40 min ago and im watching rn
Same
It's not a song.
@TechSamsung TS Of course we know: It's simply a march and not meant to be sung in any way. It's not (unlike some other marches) derived from a song.
SAMEEEEEE
Absolutely PERFECT tempo, not over the top, played as some circus band might play it. This is EXCELLENT! BRAVO for The Marine Band !
SpeedyNeutrino172 the marine band is the best!
True
120 to the half note played in cut time. had to play it in flute choir! it was very fun.
Well, it's a tad bit faster than the original 120bpm March, but I personally like it
I absolutely agree. I played it on trombone in college in '88 or so, and my director had us practice it at about ~144; he got over-exited at the concert and directed it at ~156. I had to double-tongue the 2nd strain, which takes the bite that you hear in this excellent recording out of it. This mistake is quite common when this march and _The Stars and Stripes Forever_ are played too fast. by Dunning-Kruger bands.
Curiously, my tongue is faster at 58 now than it was at 21 then, and I can put a lot of precision into it instead of just hanging on.
One of the most underrated marches ever written. It’s truly a gem!
Julius Fucik: “It is an epic piece of melody that will evoke what it was like when the Roman gladiators entered the arena of the Colosseum, the bloody combats in front of the emperor who with a thumb decides if the defeated gladiator lives or dies and the execution of christians that was apparently the halftime show” (And the reason why a Pope ordered that these Roman coliseums must be preserved in some way instead of being demolished and managed to survive to this day)
P.T. Barnum: Yeaaaaaahhh... whatever, Take this whole fistful of dollars for the rights of your tune. I'll make a few slight changes but believe me that people will remember it for all that you said about gladiators and stuff...
Many years later:
Julius Fucik: What the Fucik?
It was more like "man, I just made a really cool march for fun with a lot of chromatic stuff in it. There's so much chromatic stuff that I almost felt like naming it 'The Chromatic March'. Actually, I think gladiators are really cool, so I'll just name it after them", but I still find it funny how the song changed like that
Fascinating that the Pope would keep these monuments to such things up. History must not be erased, as to not be forgotten.
Imagine walking into a gladiator arena, expecting to die a horrible, painful death to some opposing gladiator with a giant battle axe and then some dude plays this
🤣🤣🤣
Clown act ain't it? punk... (I'm just kidding lol)
No gladiator used an axe
It was a circus
and you're apart of the grand act.
The parts 1:20 to the end of the piece are really underrated
YES FINALLY SOMEONE SAID IT
So prettt
*pretty lmao
@@GwensFlixs The melody is so sentimental it’s crazy
I believe this melody (the "trio" section, or third theme) is the one about which no less than Johannes Brahms himself, upon hearing it, remarked "I wish I'd thought of that".
This music always makes me smile i don't know why
Maybe cuz ITS CLOWN MUSIC THESE DAYS! 🤡🤡🤡
@@joel784 I read this with clown voice 🤡😂🤣
@@nurrich i BADLY wanna hear that
Julius Fucik would surely be pleased to hear his march played so well!
I go straight to the Madagascar scene with Marty in this song!!!
"Entrance of the Gladiators" or "Entry of the Gladiators" (Czech: Vjezd gladiátorů, German: Einzug der Gladiatoren) is a military march composed in 1897 by the Czech composer Julius Fučík. He originally titled it "Grande Marche Chromatique," reflecting the use of chromatic scales throughout the piece, but changed the title based on his personal interest in the Roman Empire.
I can't believe nobody in this comment section has mentioned the trombone/tuba soli at 0:43. Virtuosity at its finest
That section is one of the main reason this march doesn't get played more...there aren't a lot of bands which have low brass sections that can play it cleanly.
@@kurthoesly890 Haha yeah imagine having a brass section that can actually tongue properly lol
@@Josie-fb2kd this comment vs my orchestra in 2019
@@Josie-fb2kd I feel like it’s less the players and more the synchronisation. For example, if someone tongues, another player might tongue a bit early or late resulting in an ‘unclean’ run. Also moving a big chunk of brass isn’t very easy.
To just up and disrespect the Euphonium like that.
Anybody else find it weird that we associate this tune with clowns throwing budgets glitter and elephants balancing on beach balls and not what the title actually implies, i.e. guys hacking each other to pieces in front of bloodthirsty crowds?
Heck, the "circuses" in "bread and circuses" was actually referring to the latter!
It is, but some music just is like that. Like "Yakety Sax" is an incredible piece and extremely difficult to play but we just think it as a haha funny tune.
if I was a composer I'd be thrilled that my music had stood the test of time and was still being played, even if was known as clown music.
Ummm.... anyone who has played the low brass line in the 2nd strain likens it more to violence than clowns, let me assure you!
Couldn't agree more! Tempo is just right. I hate when groups play marches way too fast!!! MM=120!!!!
It's a circus march. They're made to be played faster, unless it's too fast for the group to play well. Most of the time it comes off as a cluster-fuck.
@@excalibur1812 No, it's a military march. It was just taken up by circuses and that's where most people know it from these days.
@@excalibur1812 The version of this most of us are used to hearing is a faster-tempo, higher-notes rearrangement of the original military march, repurposed for circuses.
@@Donleecartoons I realize that. I have been a professional musician for 41 years and have played under some of the world-famous band directors, including William D. Revelli, Frederick Fennell, Leonard B. Smith, Colonel John Buergois, long-time director of the U.S. marine band. I had great band directors growing up and have played with the Heights Concert Band since 1979. Our conductor was a former military band director and I live in Killeen, Texas, home to Fort Hood. I grew up in a military band environment.
Unless the march in question is Rolling Thunder, in which case it should be played about 4 bpm faster than what the trombone section is comfortable with
Ok am I the only one who noticed the tuba that dropped an octave at 0:58? It’s already hard enough to play that as written and they played it practically perfect with clarity and direction. That’s why this is the best military band in the U.S.
It sounds so good when they do
I mean theres only one military in the US
@@DragonHuman00 He said "military band." There's multiple
@@AlcerusOfficial no there's only one military
@@DragonHuman00 The army has a band, the marines have a band, the air force has a band etc.
this is the version plainrock used
I am in love with this piece of music! I honestly love how the trombones go so fast! the music in this is amazing!
I think this is the same one heard in plainrock124’s video titled “Idiot spends $300 on chips”
It’s also in BUYING 30 COPIES OF WII FIT (I think it was called) and Moving On? (Camera)
@@juliodaguy yes, it is heard there too
As seen in Plainrock124
"Ladies and gentlemen. the national anthem for twitter!"
lmao
I imagine like I won in a battle and this song plays in my head when I feel like that could happen
Ladies and Gentlemen please rise for the National Anthem
Of the Nation of Clowns
69th like.
King and his Canon GX7 Mark II.
(Only Plainrock124 fans will get this.)
lol
We’re walking out of Walmart with the chips with this song!
Whos here from the Plainrocks moving on video
The theme song of Donald's legal team?
Who’s here from PlainrockVlogs’s “Buying every copy of Wii Fit”
I’m here from the moving on video
I am
Now you know why you had to learn your chromatic scales.
Rolling Thunder march by Henry Fillmore is even worse
Amen brother
@@christiannicholas just hearing that title makes me shiver oh gosh
It was apparently written because chromatic brass instruments had just been invented and was original called something like grand march chromatique before fucik took a trip to Rome
I play trombone... there was nothing to learn.
Most people think of this as being the circus theme, but man does this really sound so a march.
THE WINNING MARCH of Sacred Heart Schools' particpation in Sousa March Mania 2017.
There's just something about Czech music, isn't there?.....that trio is the lovliest!
Hmm... "The President's Own U.S Marine Band?"
I read that as US President's own theme, for some reason.
Crimson Scythe at least it makes sense
Yeah it describes Obongos pretty well
Yep, I too think of Gladiator when I think of our current CIC.
Please don't involve one of the best bands in ths country in politics please.
Crimson Scythe It was the President's own walk on theme...notice, it was released while Obama was "ruling", Aug. 3, 2015.
WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU
by Plainrock124
song: starts
me: haha funnie clown music
song: Keeps Going
me: ........damn it it's actually kinda good tho
God Bless our National Anthem
Man as a tuba player that second second slaps
Oh man that's a gorgeous trio section too....it's kinda too bad what has happened to this piece because of society...
Alternate title for that song is "Thunder and Blazes"
Robbins Mitchell That was the title of the marching band arrangement. The original title was to be "La Grande Marche Chromatique" as much of it was written in the chromatic scale. Fucik retitled it later to reflect his interest in ancient Rome.
The piece is actually really good especially the second and third sequences are just beautiful.
What a very appropriate theme tune for the current Big Man.
AndreiTupolev lol
AndreiTupolev LOOOOOOOLLLL

This is why Obama always had that s**t eating grin on his face, he replaced the Four Ruffles and Flourishes and Hail to the Chief w/ this catchy ditty. After all, he did try to change the Presidential Seal w/ HIS "O" logo! Ha, ha, ha, ha...!
The President's band playing the President's theme.
>When you suck at political arguments so you proceed to call the president a clown even though thats not an actual, valid argument.
@@DarthCookieKS >When you get salty and triggered over a joke, despite Google having a definition of clown saying "A foolish or incompetent person" which is a fair comparison when looking at the fact that quite a large part of his staff at the beginning of his term either quit or were fired, and even mistaking 52% disapproval for 52% approval, or being unable to repeal a law despite having control of both Chambers of Congress. Need I go on?
oscarnout maybe you should try 4.1% quarterly GDP growth, tax cuts which saved the average American family $2000, meeting with Kim Jong Un and averting nuclear war, recognizing Jerusalem as Israel's capital in favor of the Jews and building the US embassy there, (mUh hItLeR) 3.2 million new jobs, 340,000 new manufacturing jobs created compared to 190,000 lost under Obongos, various companies returning to the US after they moved international, deregulation of business to help small businesses, illegal immigration cut in half, human trafficking arrests skyrocketing, food stamp enrollment at an 8 year low, unemployment at an 18 year low, minority unemployment at a historical low, appointing the first African American woman as Marine Corps Brigadier General (mUh rAcIsM aNd sExIsM), supporting homeless veterans with the VA act, sections of his wall being built and tested along the border, black approval rating jumping from 18% at this point last year to nearly 40% now, securing a new trade deal with México, and so on. Need I go on? Yeah, "mUh fAiLiUrE aNd iNcOmPeTeNcY"
@@KsPRNightrmare If you actually knew anything about Trump, you would soon realize how he is actually a very competent person. Not really a clown
@@sojasous5018 You're right, perhaps he is competent. His party lost the house, just like Obama in 2010 who was definitely competent. Trump must be doing something right then ;)
Good band instructor Awesome presentation
did anyone else come here because of plainrock124?
me lol
Me lol
This march will forever be associated with The Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus.
IT'S A GIRAFFE!
I feel there should be more comments, that's where I first heard the tune lol.
haha
I like it so much
When you’re buying every copy of Wii Fit you see:
Fucik the entry of the gladiators. Thats what it kinda looks like to me, i do like it very much.
Spending $300 to win a switch be like

Yes, buying $300 worth of chips with a slight chance to win a switch 😂
then wasting more money buying a switch and burning the evidence
only to find out you burned the receipt and now you can’t return it.
Plainrock124 Anybody?
Yep
Yap
Yeeeeeah
Yep
Yes
So amazing!
ANY United States military band playing this song is incredibly meta.
Oh Fucik!
So many arrangements of this out there. Where can i find THIS arrangement?
Buying 40 copies of WiiFit

Plainrock124
Plainrock lol

3 dog night uses the beginning of this song..to make one of their most popular songs...The show must go on"... as did Leo Sayer before them.. In BOTH cases...the circus theme is fully implied in the song..
I split these quotes into parts of videos, so stop asking me if there’s something wrong
Theme song for the Colts having to beat the 2-14 Jags and absolutely choking.
Have any of you people seen my giraffe? Yell, “it’s a giraffe” if you find one.
When I first heard it I thought clowns. Don't you hate it when you know a song but not the name of a song
This is what happens when you Shazam Plainrock124
"march" madness gang wya?
hmm
Oh those poor trombones
(Sigh) We only use the dishwasher for storage
Behold! the anthem of the USA!

Does this come with copyright?
If you are here is probably of plainrock124 moving on video

best version of the song
I’m using this in one of my videos!
the national anthem makes me feel so patriotic🇺🇸🦅🎆
Agnieszka dzisiaj nie dałem rady, ale się nie poddam, nigdy. Dobranoc Moja Kochana.
Who arranged this version/transcription of entry of the gladiators?
Probably one of the staff arrangers of the MCB. They are amazing. But, this version sounds almost identical to the standard marching arrangement we played when we were kids in high school band. Our director loved the classic marches from the circuses and Sousa, Fucik, King.
I came to vote Lol
Circus afro Circus afro Polka dot Polka dot Polka dot afro
so THIS is the song everyone knows but doesn't know the name of!
Any President's theme song
i love it
this makes me wanna buy 30 Wii fits
"HAHAHA IT'S A GIRAFEE" -Patrick Star
This played in my Head when America left behind *Thousands of M4s,Armoured Vehicles and Aircrafts,claiming that the Taliban cant fly the Aircrafts*
I have to do this in my band, and the hard part is that I have to do the chromatic scale on the song super fast😢
It’s basically 0:1 to 0:8 I have to play part( the chromatic scale)
What instrument?
how did it go
This reminds me of an idiot who spent 300$ on chips
Sounds more like "The Entry of the Circus Performers".
vote for this one in sousas march mania
This betta win or imma go back in time and slap fucik
🎷🎺👍
1:59
What's the tempo?
Joe Biden's theme song.
all stand for the latvian national anthem
“Ahaha haha it’s a giraffe”
0:13
CIRCUS AM I RIGHT
the fact that this song won most of the things is such a fucking shit in the face
WOO
The first strain is just the ladies strewing flowers in front of the warriors.
The second strain is the Gladiators, and if you don't get out of the way your friends will have to scrape you up from the pavement when the parade is over.... #LowBrassForever
