This is well played! Congratulations!

my band played this for uil last year i played the flute solo😘😘

Amazing playing!

The squeak at 2:20 tho

This video also shows just how amazing the band community at GL is. It's a post game show that starts like 10 minutes after the game ends and we still get a crowd so loud you hear them

I'm not gonna lie i remember this being about 100x harder than it looks to me know... then again I was only a freshman at the time and mimed well over half the show

Wow better than my school

This one was definitely a band class classic. Back in the 80's!! I was second trumpet, first chair and I rode that glory for the whole 4 years. Hearing this brings back memories, thanks...

that almost flew apart at the seems

This is such a great idea! Love the cascade of musicians adding in as the piece progresses. Bravo!

I couldn't hear the trombone 1's high Eb in the second strain and the tempo was a little slow but other than that it was good.

I noticed you have previously posted videos from Spartan Youth Wind symphony. Do you have any of this year's performance on Dec 7? If so could you please post them? Our son is in SYWS and I only got one video. Thank you! Wonderful performance from GLHS!

nice job! do you know what mallets the vibe players used by any chance?

helped me with my choir group

very good. :D

We are plating this in middle school for concert

Beautiful sounds!

Thanks, this helped me for my audition, I enjoyed playing along.

cause lower brass has a melody in the begining

Wow better than my school

My school's playing this friday! This band did a really good job!

My school's playing this friday!

Our school is playing this right now :D

word up! hoorah

Great job!

Further memories...don't know how clear they are. When we rehearsed this I believe we did Mass before Aztec Dance. This music is as good as it gets if you are a bandman. James Nielsen, if I remember his name right, one of the deans of american band master directed us for the reading clinic. Thanks for the memories MSU

Please forgive me. If I remember right this piece was around for a while. We did two more, one of which was essentially newly published and was going to be used as contest music in the 1968-69 school year. This is a wonderful band playing this.

Played this when it was essentially new music. 1968. Did two of the movements for a reading clinic put on for high school bands in Ohio. We did one brief run through with our director before playing it for everyone at clinic. At the end of Mass the trumpeter sitting next to me whispered "that is one bombastic sob", everyone in the band heard. The director looked at him and said "I agree, wholeheartedly, magnificent stuff!' Not much more to say.

cool

Our school is playing this in May 2013 for the Fine Arts concert. :D I'm obsessed with LOTR and I was kind of spazzing when our teacher announced we would be playing this. Like, jumping up and down and screaming. *fangirl*

Really nice job! Aside from my own ensemble this was the first live performance I've seen of this piece. Thanks for posting!

Thanks for posting all of these, Steve!

00:28-00:40 can someone tell me where you hear this part in the movie? I don't really remember. Also, is that part in the soundtrack and if so which track can you hear it in? Please respond. Thanks! :-)

Played this in high school. Brings back memories.

This is really a wonderful performance of this piece. This piece is not easy by any means and to have students watch the conductor carefully so that everything stays in time is incredible. Kudos to your ensemble!

This price only needs brass. Thats how we do it at Kearsley! low brass ASSEMBLE!!!!

amazing

we're playing this right now

You're lucky to have so many horns! In my performance of this, there was only two horns and five/six trumpets. You could tell how that would end.

I played this arrangement at a camp once, it's a pretty fancy song.

we will be playing this song pretty soon, it sounds amazing

this is the way it was meant to be played. LOW BRASS SUPREMACY!!!!!!!

Conductor: Stephen W. Pratt

Nice. I hope the students appreciate how good their ensemble is. I hope your clarinet player got some rest after the performance (1:20). Just teasing :) These are long days for everyone. This will be my reference as I try this with my band. What else did you program for this day?

Do you know who the conductor is?

i want to play this so bad.

Amazing!

awesome i have to play this for orchestra class :) really hard...the rhythms are hard!

Well done, clarinet soloist!

Measure 38 = Lugia's Song nostalgic piano solo = mine I almost cried when I played it; out of both happiness and sadness.
