Club Penguin Music #9 - Festival of Flight

[@river_ties2991]

Am I the only person to feel that this man right here is the godfather of our childhood 🤩😭😭

[@zerquix18]

I was 10 years old back in Aug 2009 when the Festival of Flight came out. It's been almost 10 years! and I'm almost 20 :( This brings me nostalgia even though I was barely a kid.

[@VocaPigeon]

Me too! Just turned 20. The nostalgia is so strong :( the music was so good it left a great impression!

[@titonylebel6512]

me i miss tee old day so much x(

[@thomashines100]

I love how hilarious and whimsical the idea for this party was

[@ChrisHendricks]

Penguins: Hey, we got a broken window in the underground pool. Any ideas? G: LIFT THE ENTIRE ISLAND!

[@TiStardust]

Chris Hendricks And that’s why I love G.

[@Tech70]

I am disappointed that the Festival of Flight did not return and I did not get to experience it, because it was a party like no other. Plus, your beautiful soundtrack could be heard everywhere*! *Apart from the Night Club because they only had "dance club-y sort of songs"* Now that makes me wonderful what a Festival of Flight Night Club song would sound like.

[@ChrisHendricks]

Good question. I expect I would use a lot of synth pads and airy synths, rather than heavy beats.

[@TechWalker]

I joined CP at the very end of the Festival of Flight. Didn’t really understand what I was doing at the time so I missed out on getting a jetpack. For all the years I played Club Penguin, getting a jetpack was my main goal. I never got one and always regretted being so stupid during the Festival of Flight.

[@totally.normal]

I obtained my jetpack by a code

[@nicoquet.]

I FEEL U

[@UnChiller]

**starts crying**

[@1998Anderson]

I know that feel, bro. I joined during Music Jam 09', but I wasn't a member, thus all I could get was the free hat, which was cool though.

[@Pokestir]

All CP music is just so relaxing 😌 Beauty to my ears 😄

[@Wrench55154]

Wtf pokestir

[@Chroncitrus]

I really appreciate you making these videos, club penguin had this charm that none of it's competitors did, it's really interesting to see the origins of these things.

[@Ryboflavin]

This was my favorite party growing up. The music made the event feel so epic and magical.

[@halopona6918]

Great video! The Festival Of Flight soundtracks are some of my favourite on Club Penguin so it was awesome to see this video be a thing! The Nimbus soundtrack sounds so cool, it would be awesome to see it be used for some sort of Medieval or Epic adventure preparation room/scene in a game someday, it may be very unlikely, but I can picture it in my head so well!

[@hellocloverkitty]

Halopona It would be cool to see some unused/unreleased songs in CPR

[@Trianull]

Honestly the compression of these songs just added more nostalgic charm. I was saw you before hanging out with the Rewritten staff and had no idea that you were a main composer for actual Club Penguin. I love your stuff man, so glad you’re sharing your experiences.

[@TylerRJenkinsMusic]

Please do puffle party music!

[@daemeongoodwin2985]

@Tyler Jenkins what year

[@rysk6913]

This was honestly my favourite party of all time and was gutted it never returned too

[@JustCoNa]

Holy jeez balls, you made the music of my childhood. Oh and Nimbus should have definitely been used for the dojo haha Almost 24 now, started playing when I was 10 in 06. Still cant get over the fact it was over half my life ago wtf #nostalgia Edit: well shit, you're screenhog. 11yo me would freakin love these videos haha

[@ChrisHendricks]

It feels like a lifetime ago, sometimes. Let your 11-year-old self know I said hi.

[@GoodApron]

my first club penguin party and where my penguin was born that date and yes that background music welcomes my penguin and i was only nine years old that time. i miss this party and will alwaysb e in my heart.

[@mxdnxghtraven]

When you mentioned matching the music to the visuals for the storm worsening then calming, I adored the idea (and still do, that would've been an awesome concept to implement), then I remembered that flash is immensely temperamental... and that went right out the window.

[@bloatypizzahog]

Nice, the Festival of Flight was always my favorite party for both visuals and music

[@troll4697]

This channel is gonna blow up

[@mew11two]

The Festival of Flight was the first party I experienced in Club Penguin. Since I had no concept of parties at the time I thought it was a permanent change. Coincidentally I started playing another children's MMO with a similar flight theme (I think it was called Spineworld?) at around the same time.

[@lukel1724]

The Festival of Flight was possibly my favorite party ever (tied with the Puffle, Halloween, and Jungle? Parties). And the music really made it magical. I can't imagine why they never brought it back. At the time, even though I didn't know it would be exclusive, I was immensely excited by this party. Just overjoyed. The sense of freedom and community, everyone defiantly shouting, "Who says penguins can't fly!" and the music that made the atmosphere all blend together as an indelible memory of happiness from my childhood, and the feeling that anything is possible!

[@ChrisHendricks]

I was surprised it never returned as well. It should have.

[@SeanThibodeau]

I totally forgot about this party! I think your compositions really captured the spirit of the flight, which is pretty hard to do in my opinion. Not sure if you're open to requests, but I'd love to see a BTS on the brown puffle cave music from the wilderness expedition in 2011! It's one of my favorite tracks from a party.

[@ChrisHendricks]

Brown Puffle Lab is one of my favorites too. It's on my list to do.

[@nathanalexandre137]

Cumulus is my favourite one, it seems like if already heard something like Cumulus before! Waddle on and happy new year Chris!

[@blinkingberry9591]

Maybe the one of the ds games?

[@TiStardust]

I always wanted to be a part of the Festival of Flight, but I joined Club Penguin just too late, as I found a newspaper in the Boiler Room for a party that ended, that being the Festival of Flight... I then barely missed it when joining Rewritten. It’s fate, I tell you.

[@_windywilliams]

this was my 1st party with a membership and i remember being so excited about it, brings back good memories

[@TheSuperqami]

I did play Club Penguin during this party, but I don't remember Cumulonimbus that well- I most recently know it as one of the "Beacon Boardwalk themes", it sounds so 'new' compared to all the old Club Penguin track lol

[@TheSmart-CasualGamer]

Nimbus could have easily been repurposed as possibly some sort of Card-Jitsu event music, what with the pipes and light drumming.

[@MiloMurphysLaw]

I like Nimbus. It sorta feels like it could’ve worked for the Dojo or maybe the underwater cave below the forest

[@AQSWDEFRTHYJUKILO]

The music was always my favourite part of this game

[@davefrance4355]

Festival of flight was the first party i ever played when I joined, one of my favourite party

[@nattie3932]

Aw this brings back so much nostalgia. FOF was my favourite party.

[@gonzarizzoehrenbock]

I joined cp during this party and i couldn’t believe how amazing every single room was decorated and i loved the nusic. All i have to say is thank you for creating this amazing world, thank you for being one of the creators of unforgettable moments during my childhood. Wish you the best

[@ManunKanava]

WOW, I was 5-6 years old when this was, and I still remember playing then. I didn't even understand English back then.

[@dariyama]

I love the festival of flight’s music and it’s interesting to learn about it!

[@can_obeans5646]

I loved this party!!! I remember being 10 and meeting Gary while eating leftover olive garden breadsticks and freaking out.

[@benjaminRhodesLEGO]

oh my god... I remember the Festival of flight and I remember waiting Years to see it again but I never did!

[@benjaminRhodesLEGO]

and that song was amaazing ^^

[@c_kr3t358]

I didn't end up joining CP but I joined CPR, The first time I joined I had a account which i forgot it's name but I ended up joining during the festival of flight, i forgot the password for it but it had the festival of flight items.

[@lukel1724]

Cumulus defines this whole party for me! Such a feeling of expectation, possibility, adventurousness. The perfect backdrop for the party!

[@hellocloverkitty]

Whenever I hear these songs I remember flying

[@suppidish]

I used to play Club Penguin on my grandmother's crappy computer that was on dial up when I was over at her house. Actually, I'm writing this comment with the video still playing and Cumulus just came on and I remember being on Club Penguin during this party. Crazy enough I wasn't at my Gram's house very often so that's cool.

[@CadenFeather]

I would have loved to be at this party Sadly I discovered Club Penguin until 2010 - 2011 (fortunately, I still reached to enjoy the best parties from it) I clearly remember that one day when I logged in, there was a lot of decorated rooms and awesome music, I didn't understand what was going on, but I still loved it. Not so many minutes later I noticed they were celebrating April Fools. A lot of parties left me with the most memorable experiences

[@TheQuackinator]

I joined CP back towards the end of 2006 (I was 4 years old!) and the Festival of Flight party was one of those parties that I really remembered, alongside the Summer Kickoff party, the Festival of Ice (that was in like 2007. The Ice Crown from that party ended up becoming a very rare item as I don't think it ever became available available again). Also, the Water Party and 2008's April Fool's party were fond memories.

[@frostflaggermus]

i really love the nimbus theme???

[@CalebWillden]

Definitely one of my favorite parties of all time, and the music was part of why!

[@altro5067]

Just want to thank the club penguin team (among with a few other games!) for getting me into backend development, it was a lot of fun disassembling and later when better tools became available decompiling your game, Club penguin was among my first emulators, I still make emulators to this day! (Not club penguin though, sorry)

[@RJIVHALO]

The music from festival of flight, especially the main theme, always somewhat reminded me of the music from the ride at Disney California adventure called soarin over California

[@ChrisHendricks]

Yep, and that's exactly what inspired it!

[@jackyjess7273]

I absolutely love all of your music explanation videos. I am a musician myself, so seeing how you come up with them and the meanings you get out of them are super helpful and insightful! This also brings be great nostalgia as well! Thanks Chris!

[@Jamberss]

I joined club penguin during the Festival of Flight so Cumulus will always be one of the most iconic tracks for me

[@AscensionUSA]

I remember this one so vividly from back when me and my friend would play this game for hours on end, while being on the phone (idk, it was just what we did when we played to communicate). Sometimes i wish i could time travel back to those days and experience it all as a kid again.

[@GeorgeWilkins]

Man, I would have been 6 years old when I first started playing this game back around when this event was on. So many good memories of gathering in giant groups of people who all had propeller caps and also my first experience with online gaming. So I'd like to thank you club penguin team for giving me an amazing first impression into the world of onlne multiplayer gaming. 😊

[@Dialga22239]

Interesting, the Song Titles are actually Cloud Types - Two of them are Thunderstorm Clouds :D That Pan Flute sounds really like EWQL RA aka the Gates to Infinity/Super Mystery Dungeon Pan Flute (I know it's from Goliath, but Colossus/Goliath repacked it) :3 Speaking of: Did you ever use Native Instrument's Symphony Essentials? I used it alot and it's pretty good :D P.S. That Artwork is so cool! :D

[@Miichelle307]

I'm glad I'm not the only one that thinks a lot of his songs from CP have a kind of Super Mystery Dungeon vibe to them haha

[@TastyTaify]

To me, this is the party with the best soundtrack!

[@Redvox57]

I started playing cp during the festival of flight and the memories still flood back alot of times

[@Johnny_Three-hats]

No kidding, the balloon ride music was based on Soarin's soundtrack? Man, that is surreal to think about for me now, given how into Club Penguin I was back around the time of this party, and how into Disney parks I am now. I'd love to hear about more influences like the ones you've already mentioned, if there are more.

[@SMVvids]

This was one of my First parties, and by far my favorite of my 8 years playing the original game. Thank you for this wave of Nostalgia.

[@keepyourshoesathedoor]

Wow, this sounds so cinematic.😮

[@JohnJApanovitch]

I joined Club Penguin Rewritten a while ago, and I redesigned my home a few weeks ago. My current background for my home is the first piece from Festival of Flight, Cumulonimbus! I originally had Cumulus as the song, but I felt Cumulonimbus sounded more appropriate for that. These three pieces are all absolutely amazing!

[@emmab4587]

Really loving this series

[@steelpenguins5359]

I was so happy and lucky to experience this party, cumulonimbus was also my favorite track from the party. :)

[@hamster92jp]

I completely forgot about this event, so thank you for reminding me of good times

[@1998Anderson]

It was probably my second party ever in CP (happened right after Music Jam 09', right?), I wish it would have come back too. I remember loving to get the flying hat because it's green, my favorite color!

[@ThoughtSpinnr]

Ladies and gents, I present the man who made our childhoods.

[@ProfessorAlpacaYT]

I think what I loved most about the Festival of Flight's music was that it gave me serious Pac-Man World 2 vibes, namely the theme Ice River Run. Also, I'm curious if there are any more songs inspired by specific Disney park rides?

[@ChrisHendricks]

I don't think there were any others.

[@Pinkyshy101]

I remember me and my sister (I was about 8, she was about 9, almost 10) begging our parents to get membership for the festival of flight, since we wanted to go up in the hot air ballon and you needed membership for that, and it seemed so so cool... then we finally got it.. but only after it was over... we had it for years after that though, so it’s fine

[@thebuzz76]

This party was awesome!

[@wiimaster2847]

All of these songs could make some nice school band pieces.

[@ChrisHendricks]

That would make my day so much.

[@tapedispense8527]

When you said it was inspired by Disney theme park ride music I immediately knew that meant soarin

[@ahhh6328]

I loved the music in the nightclub so much back then😅

[@haydencross4929]

i was super upset when i couldn't get the jetpack, and then one day my puffle just dug one up and i was super excited.

[@ChrisHendricks]

I loved that they added puffle digging! That was brilliant!

[@TiStardust]

Chris Hendricks It really harkens back to the Red Puffle’s migrating from Rockhopper Island, home of a pirate and his little friend, Yarr!

[@annabellewannabelle]

Unfortunately I probably wasn’t there for the Festival of Flight, because I was only a newborn when club Penguin released.

[@feathercat9118]

childhood, I used to play this game everyday

[@tinkarobert]

Thank You for sharing.

[@DENPTrains]

This was the party I joined on :))

[@spleedsnow]

"Flight on sunlight or might not be insight"

[@UnChiller]

now who the frick pulled the switch to kill my childhood dreams

[@ryleyw3684]

ahh old cp music was always the best

[@nightshadecataclysm]

Feels bad, I didn't had a membership back in 09'!

[@CheeseGlace]

I love your videos

[@GumSkyloard]

We need a Dojo music video!

[@PenguinNation1]

Absolutely love these videos! I love the Nimbus song as well, too bad it didn’t get featured. Question though, were there other songs that you made that weren’t featured? If so it would be awesome to hear them. Anyway great video keep it up!

[@ChrisHendricks]

Yes! Many of my other videos have featured some of them, but there are still others that haven't come up yet.

[@PenguinNation1]

Yeah I remember you featuring a few 😅 I found the box dimension one the most interesting though, didn’t think it would be that hard to make a box dimension song lol (but I mean, I can see why)

[@kowalski7cc]

I'd listen for nimbus for hours!

[@d3spii]

The song being played during the balloon ride was in CPI 👀

[@bensullivan6032]

BRING BACK CP

[@Purpie_Slurpie]

I remember this!!

[@frostflaggermus]

i loved the festival of flight so much, a big part of the reason was the music... and i agree, why didn't it return it was clearly a fan favorite too.. at least they brought it back on CPR?

[@lumpylumpyloo]

I love you my dad is missing you please come back home

[@CozyFinch]

Cumulus is my favourite!

[@benrad444]

Sooooo goood

[@KingMondoWWM]

Is there any way to get your music in good quality? I love to play various Club Penguin music during certain holidays but can never find them in good quality.

[@ale-qu7kq]

nice video

[@Pejelo]

Actually Nimbus could be used for some flight scene in that "Club Penguin" Anime Film about "Vietnam war" :^)

[@oilyspoilyyt]

i know christmas already passed and all, but can you please do the christmas music?

[@Karmy.]

BTS on Pop Song please?

[@fishmrinc]

Who owns the rights to the music

[@vanilla_labelle]

is it weird to dislike songs that you've written yourself? and as a composer, do you write songs even when you're not contracted for them in order to stay inspired in your craft?

[@mushqoom663]

100th comment!!!

[@drachenrabbit]

i joined the month after the festival ended and im still mad about it to this day. someday ill get that free jetpack..
