I played this back in 1997, on French Horn, for NYSSMA with my Middle School Concert Band. Popped Back Into My Head Today, So Searched It On KZbin. Great job to the band. Hope they are all still playing, wherever they are.

My band teachers grandpa is John o really and he wrote this song

I’m doing this song rn but that’s like rlly fast how they are playing it-

i think im a tad bit late

memories of middle school concert band

Trumpets are out of tune, like a lot

Wait you dont do the repeats during the Coda but they did wow

it is me charlotte hi

In currently in band and we suck and we do it 2x slower

My band is preforming this soon

Yemember children this is from 2009

We played this faster

I see an empty chair where an oboe player should be

Flute part is awesome

where does this song come from

aa. i recently just played this for my first concert of this year! honestly one of my class favorites besides love of three oranges march!

Lol. I remember playing this when I was little. Good memories.

Tuba part around 1:15 is so fun to play my concert is in 3 daysss

I think there music was diffrent and did not have the coda

Noooo! My band is playing this at six flags festival and at the adagio, there is 2 trumpets, 2 clarinets, and 2 saxophones i am first chair trumpet so i have to play then like after 14 measures of that it goes to 1 trumpet and 2 clarinets why i get solo for lgpe i will totally crack

They did a very nice job. I love this piece

I wish some of you guys would stop hating they did an awesome job

OMG u missed the repeat during the Coda because u guys were to fast!!!

GRRR you don't repeat after coda!

poo

I don't know if anyone is going to read this but does anyone have a link to where I can download the field show music?

I'm in the 7 grade and play the clarinet and my band learned this in 2 days

I love this song we are playing this for our next 6th grade concert and I can't wait!

im in the 8th grade band in hampshire county and last year we played this and its my favorite thing i played

Loving the adagio: )

ive played this in all county band and it is way tooooooooo fast!!!!

Couldn't see a baritone it's a good addition to any band coming from one

My band is going to play this At MPA and at the ABA Confrence in Alabama in a month

measures 109-127 are so fun to play when you're a sax player. And when I say fun, I mean oh so painful.

Thomasville High School played this at Carnegie Hall in the Spring of '97. They were invited to Carnegie Hall by the way!!

, aw i am playing that for my christmas concert c; were in middle school yo cx

yeah same with mine, kinda . a few months ago when school was still in, my countys band day was in session, and we played this song(my favourite,but not my schools choice), pirates of the Caribbean, safe and sound, and defying gravity.i believe over 10 or more schools were there with a total of over 200 members! sadly last year my schools band only had 12 members,but 200 people playing Jefferson county overture,just amazing!

Chiawana high school is doing this show this season, and we got the music today im pumped

My school is playing this song and they did a nice job it sounded great

they need to play together.

too much flat/sharp mistakes

I seriously haven't been able to get this arrangement out of my head! I played it for my winter concert and since its a holiday song it won't be played again for a while :(

Asolutely. Clarinet huh? I was Trombone. Yes I remember Drix. I still have an empty box used to store old school work. Also Mister feddern. Also recording this at a tv studio for KET I think. Good times. Also going through some things found a small "yearbook" with the trip to nashville in it. Good times indeed Hmm I had a crush on one of the clarinet players :P

This song just popped into my head as I was remembering the days of being in my middle school concert band. I'm glad I found this, brings back tons of memories.

I'm going to play this next week...

We are playing this in 7th grade. I play tenor saxophone. We rock at it. Our low brass sucks tho.

played it in 7th grade cool piece

Hearing those drums on game day gets me so crunk!

OMG-Jesus is probably pulling the nails out of his cross on this one. The tuning- GOD AWFUL. This is a beautiful arrangement,absolutely slaughtered. Although, the muted trumpet does a great job.

It sounds like they speed up WAY fast. But still awesome.
