Contemporary Marching Band - Grade 3-4
Few songs epitomize the music of the 1980s like this smash hit recorded by Nena which gained worldwide popularity in 1983-84. Featuring the half-time funk riff followed by the intense fast rock tempo, this is guaranteed to get the stands jumping.

Matt Conaway has been killing it with these arrangements recently.
Don't know if all of them are new, but my point still stands.

[@spencerparker8406]

It's a good point Matt Conaway is a legend

[@arandomerenfan3413]

Speaking of Matt Conaway’s arrangements, Paul Murtha’s arrangements have me at my best prepare for band camp this year.

[@newmariobrothers4617]

Matt conaway is literally the only thing keeping me alive during this pandemic

[@anonnymoose2372]

I have nothing but band to do so I just listen to all the arrangements between practices.

[@obscure_llama2358]

This song sounded so familiar but I couldn’t think of what it was, I love the low brass parts

[@mansamusa8191]

it’s literally the title of the song, 99 red balloons

[@obscure_llama2358]

Well yes but it sounded familiar I thought it was a different song

[@sabsi711]

The Original title is "99 Luftballons" and is from the german Singer nena :)

[@CoryTheNorm]

@@obscure_llama2358 You may have been thinking of Crash by the Primitives. The similarities were bugging me a while back.

What school you go to mate because I have it in my show as well

[@isabellamitchem1593]

It was in my show as well!

[@ZWood-if4lk]

Idk why, it's not like I grew up in that era, but I feel a painful nostalgia listening to this. I don't remember ever knowing this song as a kid, but it reminds me of those days very much. Funny how things can do that.

[@awakenedxxz]

right??

[@HeavenestStCyr]

Maybe it's the quarantine enhancing your arrangement skills but daang. This is just quick production of quality music.

[@fierceshadowxd511]

1.25x speed makes it sound really cool

[@viking5736]

I'd say 1.10x is better

I played this at a football game 2 hours ago and it’s still stuck in my head…

Still the most cheerful song about balloons causing a nuclear war.

Matt Conaway is a blessing

[@The_Roman_Empire]

Have the trumpet solo in marching band because our old soloist graduated, and our backup soloist became a drum major.

[@scherzo7224]

I love this song so much

[@Gaming_Network]

Yeah and the actual song is in German because the band who wrote it was East German

😁

[@Mona-fb1ev]

So the song is originally German and called ‘99 luftballons’ (I am German and was a little confused at first hahaha)

[@RikardPeterson]

Nena did record it in English too. :)

This is a marching song but I’m playing it for concert band 😭

Great video and did you write all the notes for the song by yourself

[@WillTheBassPlayer]

Hal Leonard Music Publishing has people to do this. And the use software and then print it out so it's actually legible

[@norastempin9660]

I hope the orginal German Sing and Songwriter NENA knew about this version
