Mars & Jupiter from "The Planets suite" : Inagakuen Wind Orchestra

[@Getnill]

You guys were amazing, but if I wrote a suite and someone played that good, I would want to hear the whole suite performed.

[@charleyhibschweiler4555]

There are 7 trombones. No excuse for all that paint to still be on those walls!

[@jigjamz]

Yes! This! The dynamics need to be improved.

[@kanedillon4107]

a tip: you can watch movies on Flixzone. Been using them for watching a lot of movies lately.

[@madduxelian4413]

@Kane Dillon Definitely, I have been watching on Flixzone} for months myself =)

[@augustinedraven1329]

@Kane Dillon yea, have been watching on flixzone} for months myself =)

So immaculately precise....but it's so "safe". Not all Japanese bands play like this, but a lot of them do. A cultural thing I've learned from watching vlogs of Americans teaching English in Japan is that Japanese students are perfectionistic to the point of being horribly scared to make mistakes. This certainly comes through in how a lot of them play.

[@kenzieford3612]

takigan I don’t know that they’re “horribly scared” or anything. Just that’s how to succeed and/or get into good schools here is to be technically as perfect as possible. I’m from North America but live in Japan and am in band here. It’s the same. Their chords are perfectly in tune with a tuner even when it should probably be done by ear. It’s not wrong, just different from how we do it in the West.

[@ExtremeRecluse]

They should be ripping the paint off the walls during some passages.

[@jigjamz]

I was thinking exactly this - the dynamics are not quite right.

[@aicdbckmkemcm]

Great! My 2 favorites from the Planets.

[@chrislohutko727]

WONDERFULL

[@Dragontrumpetare]

They play just wonderful. In Sweden the windbands is almost gone. So those who are left miss instruments so this great transcriptions or arrangements isnt possible to play. Swedish windband sometimes have to use this arrangements with 6 parts. But just wondering? Where are the guys? Its almost a woman wind band? I have never seen so many girls on brass its almost non existen in Sweden?

[@takinoborudesu]

+Jerry Berglund Band is considered a very girly activity in japanese schools in the same way cheerleading is considered girly in america, and a lot of wind bands are almost entirely female because of that.

[@claron26]

Hello! Maybe you have a video from the 2015 contest? Bach Chaconne

[@aristocratify]

The Mars section at minute 11:36, was devoid of emotion and musical empathy. However, I must say , this is one fine musical ensemble. Great technical ability.

[@KyleKlabunde]

I think it has to do the the arrangement. I don't know why they didn't play the Holst arranged version for band.

[@riffraftmusic8669]

Where is the musical whatever at 11:36? It's with the absent string section, without which these young musicians are doing perfectly well. I think they deserve a string section, though. They're doing as well as any wind ensemble I've ever heard with a piece not written for wind ensemble. Their articulations, intonation, and balance are better than could be expected for their age.

[@edibletwix]

0:40 why were the trumpets in the back synced...

[@jacobchris356]

Bigalow45 theres lots of "in sync" moments i noticed how all the mutes are in the aame order and all of their feet are put together facing fowards

[@ExtremeRecluse]

it is much easier to have an oversized band play lighter, thus enabling a much cleaner and yet very full sound. a professional band could pull this off with 1/3 the instruments.

[@austonoliver447]

What was the 2nd song

[@johnkong7362]

Their are HS bands playing at this lvl in US. Dynamics and lack of certain instruments really depends on the arrangement

[@dennishouse2172]

Can you name one that performed at the level of the 2nd J.H.S. Koriyama "band", even though it was written for strings, not woodwinds. Nevertheless, these junior high kids performed at an exceptional level.

[@jenniferfernandes9267]

There's supposed to be a tam tam playing most of the way through

[@billylim9919]

Summer Honey Can't hear it though

[@jenniferfernandes9267]

Billy Lim which detracts the affect. It's supposed to be dramatic. The tam tam induces this affect

[@Gigabob6]

THE EUPHONIUMS HAVE MUTES.

[@Bugle121]

fantastic technique... but where is the musicality at 11:36?

[@cdog1089]

Wow... trombones!!

[@billylim9919]

Why are there two timpanis?

[@8avexp]

Holst originally wrote for two timpanists. Uranus also calls for two timpanists. He personally transcribed Mars for band and in the process, condensed the timp part for one person. I've played both his own band version of Mars (taken down a step from G to F btw) as well as the entire orchestral version.

[@bboiliv]

What mouthpiece are the French horns and the euphoniums using ?

[@shun1744]

why does this sound slow to me?

[@antoniocarlosmachadoteixei9870]

Wonderfull

[@kurumatorajirou9982]

！ナイス！

[@ExtremeRecluse]

I would have to say, the dynamics are lacking which makes it musically appealing. I think they do this for a reason. When you play softly and lightly, it is much easier to control. That is why they have such a large band, to make up for the lack of guts or dynamics.

[@maxpowr90]

True but that andante section in Jupiter was mediocre at best. I played both movements in high school [trumpet] and it pained me to see the brass section "gasp" during the crescendo at 12:55. I know it's common to breathe at the end of a phrase but you need to power through when you crescendo into the next phrase. There is a reason there is an accented staccato shortly after the crescendo which is where you are supposed to breathe.

[@wow1983]

+maxpowr90 same goes for 1st violin in my orchestra, its difficult

[@daryltan86]

they're just high school students aren't some of you being a little too critical?

[@Karlinberlin1]

deltatango There's not a HS band in the US playing a this level.

[@MTStingray]

+Karl O There are few college band's in the US playing at this level ⚆ _ ⚆

[@jamescardenas9283]

+Karl O Stillwater Area High School gets to this level! We beat college bands all over the US.

[@jamescardenas9283]

***** Stillwater Area High School Concert Wind Symphony....

[@Karlinberlin1]

James - proud of your school, but.....

[@jaxv94]

8:30 :D

[@markfallows2571]

I will put the brass section of the New York Philharmonic up against this 50 piece brass section any time.

[@hartmehler6069]

your are actually dumb

[@ChoclateMinecraft]

[@ChoclateMinecraft]
