[@sakura.josuke5818]

It’s easy once you get that initial rhythm down

[@powdersjinx]

[@paddy-daddy]

Middle school was fun. This song brings me back to the end with covid and all, made some good memories.

[@simondobes8570]

Man, i have the game on Steam... I enjoyed it so much with my friends :D

[@canalbandashow]

Very Nice Song 👏👏👏 go go Trombone 😍 🎺💂

[@WyattSturgeon-j3i]

I got picked from 8th grade to play with 12th graders this exact song and its pretty easy to me i think its a really good start and i one day want to be a rlly good musician when im older, btw i play trumpet and the high school wanted me to be one of the 1st trumpets

[@paddy-daddy]

god that part 3 at measure 19 is just beautiful

[@artofmusic602]

Bass Clarinet line is 85% whole notes!! 🎵🎶🎵

[@Churro8756]

Damn, lucky if you wan't something easy. But unlucky if you wan't to play the main theme

[@Zoey5374]

That's unfortunate, hopefully my band teacher doesn't get the bass clarinet part from the other band teacher. I play bass clarinet but my teacher doesn't have the bass clarinet part, so I get to play the 3rd clarinet part. Honestly after having this peice for a week I can play my part fairly well and would gladly continue with the 3rd clarinet part.

[@mushroom669]

Clarinet playing this piece, very clarinet oriented at parts. Wish me luck 😭 I’m one of the 3rds and we have very complicated parts at some points

[@paddy-daddy]

Finally, a fellow trumpet/clarinet 3rd. Please agree when I say 19 is the best measure

[@twilkinson1781]

i play first clarinet and it is also complicated

[@WyattSturgeon-j3i]

Trumpets have mostly the same part wish me luck to

[@AlvinCook-o5m]

Finally friends of my rank

[@timgarcia7877]

If you have the instrumentation, go for the Douglas E. Wagner edition. 👍🏼 it’s much more interesting

[@sweetICEmen]

If you have the instrumentation you should go for the versions of either Henk Ummels or Roland Smeets. Much closer to the original. The trumpets in the beginning of Wagners edition just don't fit in my opinion. But that's just me. Glad you enjoyed it though ;)

[@timgarcia7877]

sweetICEmen I agree with going with Ummels, I was just considering if a young high school group could pull that arrangement off.

[@condolcezza5850]

THE PERCUSSION SHAKER GOOD LORD

[@mr.mcmanudry7651]

Holy cow that three minutes! Felt like 10 seconds

[@briannalicciardi6122]

Listen to 8-Bit Orchestra’s version of Baba Yetu!!!! It’s so good! And it’s by a college level video game orchestra :)

[@andrewcasillas3083]

first sogno di volare and now baba yetu!

[@spacebanana5000]

Tin likes to explore different cultures and languages. He has a song in Polish, and he just recently released, "Oh, the humanity" in German.

[@filmscorevideos]

Great piece!

[@SandraAguiar-i2u]

Lindo divino

Where can i get the sheet music pdf for free

[@ohoo14]

why does my band play this at 1.5x the speed T-T

[@_Neptuneee_]

this slaps but the mallet part was such a pain to learn 😫

[@rowan5118]

Is all of this live recording or computer?

[@motis1837]

Live

[@liam_benjamin613]

I can play it on the violin and I am only 11!

[@bettamese3275]

don't care + didn't ask

[@adm_ezri]

Baba yetu melele @yogscastlive 😂

[@jpbguy7343]

Hello Dave! Yognau(gh)t

[@thinukathiyasara6521]

😶🤤

[@Nakoda]

This arrangement is so...how should I say it...dull and boring? When you hear a choir sing this it's with excitement and energy....this was just sad and pathetic...The marching band version was lit though having low brass as a main melodic feature in this bad move should have stuck to the roots on this one. You tried to perfect something that was perfected already. I pray this doesn't make Christopher Tin have a heart attack.

[@beepbeepfire]

Brutally honest yet so true.

[@briannalicciardi6122]

Listen to 8-bit orchestra’s version and let me know what you think??

[@chrislss8]

As this is a Flex Band arrangement, the point is to go for pliability. This will allow you to play with limited instrumentation. I agree it is way more dull, but that makes it doable with an ensemble of 10, that many small schools have to deal with!

[@goldenknight2961]

Band kid and heard the original this a just a bad arrangement of a good song the sogno di volare was better I just wish the soloist part was arranged Better and it would be perfect

[@le_scene]

I am thoroughly disappointed
