지부티boogiewithdajibooty 😂 I play both clarinet and bass clarinet, but this year I’m playing bass clarinet in band.

@@Tei_022 lol cool . what grade are you in?

[@cjaverysrandomreviews4675]

AtypicalWeirdo it’s not a bass clarinet it is a contra alto clarinet

[@fareedsamu9274]

I love how every single clarinet moves in sync when they’re playing. I’m still wondering if that was planned or just by coincidence. Also that percussion soli was BEAUTIFUL!!

[@animefan8245]

Cause they be practicing 40 hours a day

[@liamwelsh7599]

it most likely wasn't planned but when you're playing fast like that you tend to move like that. the 1st flute does it to in the beginning

[@TrashCanBoiBoi]

[@guysensei3867]

the way they’re moving reminds me of snakes in a desert lmao, cool

[@kom2146]

I’m playing this for my middle school UIL performance and it’s super fun. Our band tends to love challenging music and the journey through this song was tough (especially considering I have never seen a high high f before and being the only 1st clarinet) but we ended up doing amazing in the end

[@JonJonGopro]

such a outstanding performance, the percussion really put there blood and sweat into there parts, phenomenal

[@carpediem8566]

SECONDARY SCHOOL- They sound amazing!

[@ZoeDovydaitis]

Ahhh I love this piece! I’m playing the Darbuka (that yellow hand drum) in this piece at my school! (That is if our concert isn’t cancelled because of COVID-19 😢)

[@yanumicarey2005]

Way to go kids! Awesome!

[@nemiyahharris2924]

If you've never felt like you've been appreciated as a clarinet player (I understand 😞) look up rhapsody in blue, it's amazing and has a clarinet solo part

[@derpman1027]

1) I'd like to start off by saying very nice entrance. 2 During the flute solo, I saw that the flute behind the soloist was supporting. Which is nice, but the soloist should be able to hold their own. 3) Clarinets, after the second part of the solo make sure you guys are together in playing. 4) 0:57 Piccolo sounds a little sharp. 5) 1:18 enjoyed the intensity. 6) Very balanced over all. 7) Someone in the high woodwind came a little early at 1:39 8) 2:03 sounded like trumpets were taking off and French horns were struggling to keep up. 9) Good job on the run at 2:04 high woodwinds, make sure you guys are all together. 10) A big moment like 2:20 was excellent, but I heard someone hit the note and didn't support so it kind of sounded like a crack. 11) 2:34 Trombones, make sure you're confident when playing. 12) 2:36 Bass clarinet, don't take off. Stay with Tubas. Overall Begining: 2 - Excellent

Yep true, they're moving too much and make their tempo not stable

over to the right behind the tubas

[@dylanbayless6480]

They played it slower than it should be. Hmm

[@BengDonn]

Nice to hear but still need to improve. For example yes we know moving while we playing is fun but it can make us drag or rush easily. And the way they hit the darbukas was wrong and their rhythm on the percussion solo quite messy, it was so obvious especially on 16th note. But bravos to this band bcs they still can play this piece ❤️

[@christianortiz324]

its a secondary school most HS bands cant even perform this well.

[@BengDonn]

@@christianortiz324 secondary school is not an excused,, this piece is only in grade 4,, there’s a lot of secondary school that can play with good intonation, rhythm and so on.

too much body movement, should be just little to none.
