    Holy cow! I haven't been on this video in a while....over 2000 likes? Thank you to all the students and directors who have played/programmed this piece. If it's made your band experience a little more fun, then that makes me extraordinarily happy. Also happy to announce that "Tales from the Darklands", a collection of stories from the Darklands, will be coming out sometime in 2020.

    Rip, my band had to remove this song because our *Dang Clarinets* couldn’t play it,
    And as a Bari Sax player this song is so fun to play 😭
    Edit: this was back when I was in middle school, i was an 8th grader and it was the second band. most of the 8th grade clarinets were in the highest band since they were good, so my band was full of people from 7th grade who were still new. I understand this may not be the most difficult piece to play, but our clarinets were definitely below average (unfortunately)

    Hello, Mr. Standridge! I am a trumpet player in my school's wind ensemble, and after hearing the intermediate band play this piece, I looked further into it. This is quite a piece of music! It has a degree of simplicity, and yet nothing is missing. The melodies are catchy, the harmonies are well-written, and the piece does an excellent job of painting a mental picture in one's head. Particularly ingenious is the F horn part during the 'first strain' ;) something about the horn line works wonders for the piece. All in all, a very good tune that can be played at the intermediate level! Thank you!

    Mr. Standridge, may I just say, I played this in seventh grade back in 2017, and I believe this is one catchy piece of music, because I find myself humming it to this day. I played the second clarinet part, and I had a blast playing it at our ISSMA Festival performance. Really catchy song.

    I remember playing this song some 7 years ago in band. Still young now, but boy was I a little guy then. We all loved this song so much. The band teacher accidentally called it "Declans march" one day (my name) and from then on we called it Declans march. Was my absolute favorite

    • @randallstandridge
      @randallstandridge  2 года назад +1

      Thank you, Declans. Maybe you made such an impression that he thought you should have music named after you. *fist bump*. Thank you for the kinds words!

    Randall I absolutely love this piece a lot seriously I'm in highschool band right now and I carry the bass section as a baritone sax, and let me tell you boy I tell you what I love when our band director chooses songs with a heavy bass because It took me a few years to work my way up to baritone sax and I absolutely love it, we had a Barnum and Bailey's piece and our band director loved it because of how powerful I carried it, I am the only one in bass so I take a lot of responsibility

      @stephenradicchi5322 7 лет назад

      My school is playing all 5 songs from the series darklands march, darklands legends dance of the mad prince, serpent and the black bell and the queens mask and darkheart. Personally my favorite would have to be darkheart then the march and so on. I can't seem to find the legends on RUclips but my teacher found it somewhere but I don't know how and were he found it but I got it in April and playing it on May 12 and that's not really a long time to practice but I think we can do it and I as well played Trumpet but use to play snare and base drum
