You know how there's ComicCon....well there should be a BandCon where band kids and adults could listen to concert music, talk about band, meet other kids who play the same instrument, play together, or somethin like that.....idk it was just a thought
After listening there's one thing I want to know.. Did ANYBODY in "high school" or a lower grade ever play this with their class? *And it still sounded the same!!!*
I did in middle school! I played 1st baritone on this, even tho I'm about to be a freshman in high school, also we played this in 8th grade Ahh, good ol' 8th grade times
My middle school band (8th grade that year) was supposed to perform this but so few people in the band were interested that the director “let” us play an easier piece that we’d already been performing for the entire school year instead. It’s been over a decade now and I’m still not over it.
My schools band played this when younger kids from other schools visited to see ours, and everyone was so hyped up especially during the building up parts
This was one of the first pieces I remember playing on the contralto clarinet, on loan to me from the high school (I was in 8th grade). It was probably my best memory - the start to learning a range of different instruments. Good times.
this sounds absolutely amazing. I'm so glad someone at school introduced me to this beautiful piece of art. Amazing 10/10. my favorite part is probably the shaker part or the part when it goes quiet and then gets loud. I love it
KittyKat 7249 My high school orchestra is playing this for our spring concert. We're only getting 3 weeks (which is only 3 rehearsals) to prepare this and two other songs.
I played tuba for this piece in 7th grade and you really have to pay attention to dynamics and the. I played trumpet for it in 8th for honors band and I noticed it sounded like a piece for a spy movie
The percussion in this piece is amazing. I know because I actually am a percussionist if you believe it xD But anyway, I know the mallets parts are pretty complicated because that's what I play and you have to look at the music while playing the mallets so it's sorta confusing. The drum parts are essential in this piece.
Because the younger when this very *_complicated_* piece, mind you, is played, it's more of an achievement. High schoolers can play this easy, but for middle schoolers, it's more rewarding to tackle something like this and execute it beautifully than something like Anasazi or Up on the Housetop. Songs like Rites of Tamburo and Trepak (very fun piece to play for Christmas times, especially when played as a final wrap up after Waltz of the Flowers and the Nutcracker March. Hall of the Mountain King is certainly a tough piece, but also Sarabande--more of a solo act though, but just as rewarding). Only non-band members do not understand the feeling of the glory.
i played this in 7th (??) and i’m in 11th now and it’s so fun to look back on pieces i thought were hard LMAO , time skip to now level 6 solos 😭 i’m a flute and i’m currently playing the swiss Shepard hAhAhA my fingers are broken
I performed this piece this morning, and it sounded very similar to this arrangement. I was in the horn section - I love playing the opening, but it took us ages to get it because we kept laughing whenever we heard the rest of the orchestra doing the sound effects! Just goes to show what fun you can have with a piece of music :)
Just saying, this song was taken from J.W. Pepper. This is a symphony playing it. I love this song! I'm playing it next year! Can't wait!! I saw my school do a preformence on this, but it was the band that was in the grade above me.
Why is the orchestra version in A minor while the band version is g minor? I wouldn't think the key difference would be any harder on the fingers for the winds.
We just got this piece for high school symphonic band today, kinda getting worried seeing nothing but middle schoolers commenting here. Probably gonna be too easy
After like three years of not doing concert band, this is the one song I would go back and learn to play clarinet again to do. Besides the Harry Potter soundtrack
We almost performed this in Spring of 2020, but then COVID came along, and the concert was cancelled. Fortunately, I got to keep the alto saxophone part for this piece because that was the instrument I played in band.
Robert W. Smith is all-around cool, but I think this is my favorite of his songs and the first one I ever played. Unfortunately, it's technically an easier piece than some others like Into the Storm and The Great Locomotive Chase, so I never got to play it after 8th grade!
I'm a clarinet player too. I was second in the county and also tried out for all-district but got nervous and messed up on my scales and sight reading so that's why I didn't make it but i'm trying out next year. :)
My school band played this not too long ago. i played the suspended cymbal and the Cabasa, i was so nervous i would mess up lol. Surprisingly, we sounded very similar to this.
i played this in middle school last year and it made me think tuba was fucking boring.. thank god i stuck with it because our marching band show is hard af and the tubas have a more complicated part than the trumpets
You know how there's ComicCon....well there should be a BandCon where band kids and adults could listen to concert music, talk about band, meet other kids who play the same instrument, play together, or somethin like that.....idk it was just a thought
There's a TMEA Convention in Texas every year.
yes
I'm going to the UMEA conference tomorrow here in Utah - same idea
Ill cosplay a tuba or marimba lol
Honestly, yeah
After listening there's one thing I want to know..
Did ANYBODY in "high school" or a lower grade ever play this with their class? *And it still sounded the same!!!*
I did in sixth grade bc i was in the 7/8 grade band, that was a bit ago tho
I did in middle school! I played 1st baritone on this, even tho I'm about to be a freshman in high school, also we played this in 8th grade
Ahh, good ol' 8th grade times
hahahaha heck yes bro lol, I played the baritone
im in 8th grade, we learning this rn
Yep I’m in year nine
That anxiety moment when you are the one that needs to play that melody in the beginning
It helps if you don't feel
French horn?
Yes mallets
Our band didn't have a Horn, so as a Saxophone, I have that melody
The most anxiety youl get is when it goes fast💀😭
Revisiting after 7 years due to my Band teacher who had us play this passing. Rip Mr. Frank Chlorie, Elko Middle, Richmond VA
My middle school band (8th grade that year) was supposed to perform this but so few people in the band were interested that the director “let” us play an easier piece that we’d already been performing for the entire school year instead. It’s been over a decade now and I’m still not over it.
I played clarinet on this piece love the song
jbwwefan1103 SAME it's so hard bro
I am playing it for my 7th grade concert and I think I’m doing pretty well so far💛 It’s coming along!
same! First clarinet part tho sksksk
jbwwefan1103 I have first clarinet....I love it.....😍😍😍😍😍😍😍.
First clarinet part for this is sooo fun
I love the trombone part for this. Even if the trombone part is short, it's still pretty damn good. I'm playing this currently for Concert Band
Steampunk Elise I'm playing this piece for my pre festival
True
My schools band played this when younger kids from other schools visited to see ours, and everyone was so hyped up especially during the building up parts
flutist/piccolo player! love this
Carly no last name me too!🎶🎶
This was one of the first pieces I remember playing on the contralto clarinet, on loan to me from the high school (I was in 8th grade). It was probably my best memory - the start to learning a range of different instruments. Good times.
I played this over 8 years ago and I still come here to listen to it lmao. Great nostalgic piece!
1:01 is the best, most hyped up build up ever
this sounds absolutely amazing. I'm so glad someone at school introduced me to this beautiful piece of art. Amazing 10/10. my favorite part is probably the shaker part or the part when it goes quiet and then gets loud. I love it
Oh gosh. Im gonna play this in middle school. Right now XD
any good ol flutes around? i need friends who play flute
yea
AYE I PLAY FLUTE
I play flute too, I'm playing this with the advanced orchestra, I'm in 7th (advanced band,I'm really good) Its a really fun piece for flute.
Lucky, it's not hard to find people your age who play your instrument. Try finding an oboe friend.
aye fellow flute
God, I love when flue has the melody. It's so much fun to play.
Clarinet sounds absolutely BEAUTIFUL here....but everything here does. It’s just a beautiful piece.....
i played this for concert band in sixth grade 2 years ago. definitely one of my favorites
Sixth grade! This is a grade 2.5.
One of my favorite pieces to play....Clarinets all day baby!
OMG ITS SO COOL! i searched this because i am playing this in my school band!
IT SOUNDS THE SAME AND WERE IN 6TH GRADE!
That Guy's Channel i searched because my schools high school band went and grouped with 12 other bands to play this its a great song
It's sad to read the comments and be the only high schooler playing this piece.
KittyKat 7249 exactly
KittyKat 7249 My high school orchestra is playing this for our spring concert. We're only getting 3 weeks (which is only 3 rehearsals) to prepare this and two other songs.
KittyKat 7249 My high school band is playing it today because the Jr. High and beginning band are "Trash" quote band director.
KittyKat 7249 was just thinking the same thing as I read this comment lmao
y’all playin this in high school..? my middle school thought it was easy.
I know it's almost been a year but I just now heard the tragic news. RIP Mr. Smith. Thank you for getting me through grade school band 🕊🙏
My senior high school band played this in in New York in 2001. The good ol days! I was the percussionist. Kept the body moving-!
I played tuba for this piece in 7th grade and you really have to pay attention to dynamics and the. I played trumpet for it in 8th for honors band and I noticed it sounded like a piece for a spy movie

Yeah I play mallets on this piece too!!! They are really confusing. :D

The first violin part in this song goes into fourth position.
Bob Th it’s right at the bottom of the violin
Played this in 8th grade back in 2009. Nostalgia.

creeper: ssssssssplotion!
I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!
A mallet piece that plays during the entire song, and has melody!? Incredibly rare
We are a band, not orchestra. So we replace string with differnt parts each time, like violins for french horn, clarinet, or even flute
I’m playing this as a first clarinet in freshman band highschool 4th seat.
played this in 7th grade its bringing back so much dude
I'm playing this on trombone (band) and we have about 60 whole rests. Lol. I feel so loved.
played this last year, it was legit one of the best pieces ive done
Playing this in concert in April. Oboeee.
what's with all these people stating what grade they're in , like ok what does that prove ?
Weird flex but ok lolol

Only non-band members do not understand the feeling of the glory.
Just let them be happy dude

Practicing this song for my 7th grade band on alto saxophone this song is really great!!
It's been 4 years since I played this my first year of band for my spring concert.
My 4th ever song played
Absolutely breathtaking.
Im the french horn playing a solo for 20 measures
I performed this piece this morning, and it sounded very similar to this arrangement. I was in the horn section - I love playing the opening, but it took us ages to get it because we kept laughing whenever we heard the rest of the orchestra doing the sound effects!

I'm a flute player and I love measures 26-34 and measures 52-60
i play tenor sax and i love this song!
someone in our class this year was switched to tenor from bari for this peice
Why is the orchestra version in A minor while the band version is g minor? I wouldn't think the key difference would be any harder on the fingers for the winds.
Gonna play this for our concert (8th) as the marimba player! I’m hyped.
I wish my band class stopped talking and start listening to this! We sound terribible 😅
Finally! :D thanx soo much. love the crap outta this song!
woot playing this 4 honor band AND my schools spring concert. woot 4 bari and alto sax!!
Wow. I played this song in band, like, 7 years ago.
Any fellow 1st trumpets?
We just got this piece for high school symphonic band today, kinda getting worried seeing nothing but middle schoolers commenting here. Probably gonna be too easy
Same like everyone in this and other Rites of Tamburo videos, I played this in 8th grade.
Beautiful and awesome song.
1:39 is my favorite part that I played as a clarinet
My school orchestra is learning this piece rn! We’re in 8th grade, and it’s sooo fun.
After like three years of not doing concert band, this is the one song I would go back and learn to play clarinet again to do. Besides the Harry Potter soundtrack
brings back high school memories!!!
We almost performed this in Spring of 2020, but then COVID came along, and the concert was cancelled. Fortunately, I got to keep the alto saxophone part for this piece because that was the instrument I played in band.
Just got this piece for band last Friday. My mind is officially blown.
The timp part is so good here
The snare part to this song is a blast to play.
I get to meet Robert Smith tomorrow at District band I'm soo excited!
Playing this for band assessment was really fun , as a Flutist my favorite oarts are measure 52 and 85
I'm in grade 12 but I'm playing the mallet percussion part for the junior high band at my school. It's so much fun!
as a violin 2 when I played this, I got about a lot of sleep playing this
Played this in middle school, fun as hell, was clarinet and played the main melody
And we just got this piece and we are amazing! Only in 9th grade
I'm so happy I get to play this
I love this song so much like the first day of hearing it in band I loved it

Same but alto sax sad there is no written part so I’m playing a transposed soprano part
the french horn part is fun! i love this song and The Tempest!
We have to play this at all states this year... I GOTTA GET PRACTICING.
Robert W. Smith is all-around cool, but I think this is my favorite of his songs and the first one I ever played. Unfortunately, it's technically an easier piece than some others like Into the Storm and The Great Locomotive Chase, so I never got to play it after 8th grade!
Aprinsa I hate Into the Storm 😂😂😭😭....

My school band played this not too long ago. i played the suspended cymbal and the Cabasa, i was so nervous i would mess up lol. Surprisingly, we sounded very similar to this.
i played this in middle school last year and it made me think tuba was fucking boring.. thank god i stuck with it because our marching band show is hard af and the tubas have a more complicated part than the trumpets
Playing 2nd trumpet for this piece in the spring!
3rd trumpet
