Electricity by Brian Balmages

[@blackh9604]

I love the part where we got to dip a gong into a large bucket of water.

[@Scout819]

Yesssssssss!! My schools percussion went crazy over that part!

[@jaromtoy7128]

I dunno, that wild Tom Tom solo had me really excited.

[@emilytorres8639]

BlackHangola ikr

[@hannah9075]

Ikr my band went insane they were so happy

[@zanderfurrow9671]

Dude that was my part. I felt like a chad.

[@ElainiaMania]

I love the "blackout" part of the song with the effect of the gong it's such a unique sound

[@jaykobleuthauser]

for our band, we are lowering a tam-tam into a tub of water slowly while dimming the lights

[@jonestherambler8807]

that moment when your clarinets sound cleaner than the trumpets.

[@itsmehavd9889]

BuTTerKnight48 that’s always

[@elito7023]

trumpet superiority!

[@cinnamoncronch915]

I mean when you hear them (You know which one of those two I’m talking about)

[@glencoco2499]

u mean all the moments?

[@theheven2038]

My band trumpets sound horrible ngl

[@insaneghost7846]

I sadly say, as a Euphonium player, that we had almost the exact same part as the trombones, but for some reason are never heard in band, marching band, symphony, or orchestra. 1 like = 1 saved Euphonium player.

[@electricplayz4778]

I know how that feels bro. Trust me, I played in marching band as euphonium.

[@sebastiansebastian7377]

I'm a trombone and in our band the euphoniums are extremely loud and play over us trombones

[@davionjones5967]

InsaneGhost new never heard of this part interesting

[@alexprice9876]

But at least you instruments are close. As a bassoon player I find it crazy when we get super hard fingerings because it is easy on euphonium or trombone.

[@snivysaur7455]

All I can say is true

[@jaxoncroydon3516]

brian balmages is the best

[@aprilyates7791]

FlyRC omg yes! playing this in a week. bass guitar in first low brass seat (trombone 1)

[@DonutMaster56]

I’m not playing this, but I’m playing Comet Ride which is by him.

[@rafaelgagnonleclerc9632]

Jaxon Croydon he is. I love his music. It's just incredible! : )

[@luce.3560]

so true

[@dianacontreras1398]

Jaxon Croydon I adore his songs where the tempo goes fast

[@andreale5671]

I'm going to play this song at the end of the year concert. AWESOME SONG. #fluteplayer

[@mercedesgarcia6029]

Playing this for our spring concert, first trombone!. Love the tone, and how staccato notes help the trombone stand out.

[@amberbarnes8470]

My favorite part is the tam-tam being dunked into water. When my band played it, the audience loved it. We set it up at the front of the stage and had to run to it to be on time. :)

[@amberbarnes8470]

+GiBBOdashes A Tam-tam is basically a slightly smaller and flatter version of a gong, but yeah. :)

[@jayoodahdon5574]

Ayyyy Just played this piece! Came out clean in my class. Trombone SQUADD

[@theemeraldpizza]

Jayoo Plays TROMBONE FTW

[@vvindigou]

[@stephenowens5091]

#learningtrumpetandidontsuck

[@gaiblexx1919]

I did that last year

[@nilamejia8942]

Andrea Le I can never do the part where it goes C CDDC C CDDC I always mess up 😂

[@TheNelston]

French horn here is such a key part :D

[@stiingrayy]

TheNelston I've never played this piece but I think so since it's a Brain Balmages piece

[@yellowtiger5123]

ye which I like

[@aprilyates7791]

TheNelston wish my band had any brass besides trumpet and bass guitar

[@seejay9903]

we only have 2 French horn in my band, it sucks, and I'm 1st chair

[@tylerhinton4664]

Im a FrenchHorn

[@subzeroxd7667]

Anyone else REALLY appreciating the snare drums?

[@LoopJoop]

its fucking impossible to do

[@George4rcher]

@@LoopJoop not impossible. my band teacher had us practicing this piece 50 more bps at least on the metronome it was hard but not impossible brother

[@Cashcads]

its so hard bro

[@vertievertigoz]

We had to switch drummers because our ol one couldn’t play it up to tempo 😂

[@jackielu5242]

My band is playing this song for the next concert... It's soooooo hard but it's so awesome

[@FidgetBoss4000]

Hard? Haaaard? I played the baritone for this piece last year in 7th grade, and it was pretty darn ez. I don't know if it's just my part that's easier, or all the parts are easy.

[@matthewfry9174]

Love this one, Baritone sax

[@luvvlanie1167]

Horrible Jukes I play 7 parts

[@shnyjolteon6924]

The only reason I find it hard because I’m the only tenor sax in the entire school and no one else plays my part

[@jaromtoy7128]

Try percussion. ;)

[@Heyitsaveri]

I've loved Brian Balmages since my 7th grade year when we played Moscow 1941. That is one of my all time favorite concert pieces :)

[@stephenowens5091]

i love moscow so much

[@jaleahlittle1199]

I am playing this for our spring concert and I beyond love it!!!!! 🎺 2nd trumpet all the way!!!

[@Sorceren_]

+Jaleah Little Me to

[@mlefeb]

The Tam-Tam part is so sick when it is put in water.

[@beesgeetar]

Matthew LeFebvre im playing this in a week and pretty excited for that part!

[@cmsmolenaars]

Matthew LeFebvre i play that part and am performing with the band in a week

[@randombandfreak2130]

Matthew LeFebvre When we played it in 8th grade we had no clue what to do or had a tam tam at the middle school so we rented one and bought a huge cooler and filled it with water it was so fun when we hit it and the stage and house lights went out for added effect!

[@bellab3352]

ikr!!

[@btslover-iw7px]

Any flutes?😁😁😁😁

[@abigailgonqueh6433]

Yeah me

[@Akuen0]

+Enlightened One I'm playing a bari sax part for this, almost the same as tuba (possibly the exact same rhythm).

[@theopneustos-eureka]

I've listened to Brian Balmages music since seventh grade, when we played Escape From the Deep, but this has got to be my favorite piece of his music. Tied with Shadows Unleashed.

[@SolarOnFire]

Shadows is top tier ngl.

[@crankitup9904]

Yeah, why.

[@boohooter23]

Played this when I was a trumpet player in my middle school band for a competition. We did surprisingly well! Mr. President/Donald (my trumpet) had some amazing times together

[@marioandmichellesantiago2509]

This was so fun to play at my pre festival!I was so nervous because it was my first festival.I am a trumpet and my concert band did 3 songs for 2 judges, Festiva España, There Will Come Soft Rains, and Electricity,in that order.We did very well as a band,as we were in tune,had a good tone,and we were very articulate and payed attention.Pretty good for first time. My favorite song was Festiva España. P.S. Brass rules!

[@marioandmichellesantiago2509]

WE GOT SUPERIOR!!!! GO CONCERT BAND! I DON'T KNOW HOW WE DID IT BUT WE PULLED IT OFF!!!!

[@TheProffesorX]

Sounds great, I played this piece, snare drum, in middle school.

[@stephenowens5091]

I played this in 8th grade there were actually two mallet percussion parts and for a trip and i had to play both of them so i had the glockenspiel behind a marimba so i could play them both at the same time.

[@Santana1765]

Any trumpets here

[@deshawngoncalves6734]
