What i love is that alot of the people playing are smiling!

[@WDRKlassik]

We have a lot of fun playing this song 😊

[@mikeymcmikeface5599]

It shows! Great.

[@tressil3607]

I'm far from a professional pianist, but I have a very different energy when I enjoy what I'm playing.

[@Tadashi2]

I mean, it's a fun song. Why wouldn't they be smiling?

[@movinmetal2596]

The whole arrangement is fantastic…but the man on the sax is really killin’ it 👍

[@WDRKlassik]

Thank you! Nice to hear that you like it.

[@DaiIyNews2023]

I play sax and hope that will be me when we are playing this song on stage 🤞

[@mikeymcmikeface5599]

He vibin.

[@benswithen236]

He looks like a cooler Eric Roberts.

[@murphmanin]

Good to know this song still puts smiles to everyone’s faces, even Professional musicians in an orchestra! And what a version!!

[@WDRKlassik]

Thank you! It's fun to play 😄

[@boftx1]

That guy on the sax was having the time of his life! And the percussion intermission! And that drummer is just rocking out! Hell, the whole orchestra is jamming! Everything is just outstanding!

[@WDRKlassik]

Thanks! 💯

Bustin' ALWAYS makes me feel good!

[@VeryEvilGM]

When I was a kid, I thought they said Boston makes me feel good.

[@Estolcles]

God... the fan interaction... you even see some of the musicians singing the part... you can even see the Conductor getting into it just trying to stay somewhat serious and not to smile and break into dance.... it's just great.

[@WDRKlassik]

​@@WDRKlassik Fantastic! It's such a catchy tune (even if a little overly "borrowed" from Huey Lewis and the News ...) and just seems to be particularly a sort of "smile maker"! Phenomenal choice of music to cover! Also, the sound you achieved is, IMO, fantastic! I'm extremely impressed by how similar it sounds to the original (to my ear) - not really like a symphony covering it at all! Bravo! And, as at least one other wrote already, love the sax player's rendition / part / interpretation!! Following off the comment I'm responding to - it'd be hard to top this performance, IMO ... but, there is some "iconic" dancing that might be considered. Particularly the bit shown at the end of this short clip (where Bill Murray shows off his breakdancing skills...): kzbin.info/www/bejne/q4e1ZXWfotqWabc 😁 _Bravo, and thanks for sharing this excellent performance!_

[@SirSillyJer]

When I was in grade school the original Ghostbusters movie was released. I wanted nothing more than to be a Ghostbuster myself. Seeing and hearing this makes the kid in me very happy

Ich spiele dieses Stück auch mit meinem Orchester, für Posaunen total langweilig. Immer das gleiche. Liegt vielleicht daran, dass wir ein Blasorchester sind😂

[@Zurvanox]

Blasorchester fand ich immer cool

[@DaniEL-tc7le]

Dann liegt es eher am Arrangement

[@sadmimikyu8807]

Tja halt nicht durchkomponiert. Kenne das Problem aus dem Chorgesang: der Sopran hat die Melodie und die Unterstimmen haben immer denselben Kram. Kunst ist wenn jede Stimme ihre Melodie hat und es einzeln und zusammen fantastisch klingt.

[@Der_Komponist]

Man kann es doch anders dirigieren lassen, dass zum Beispiel in der Mitte des Stücks die tieferen Instrumente spielen, oder ein paar von den Posaunen die Trompeten unterstützen, so zum Ende hin. Oder das zwischen den Posaunen und den Trompeten abgewechselt wird. Man kann doch bei sowas kreativ sein und wenn es nicht gut klingt, dann kann man ja es sein lassen. In der klassischen Musik gibt auch Haupttheman die von den Posaunen und den Tubas übernommen werden und die höheren Instrumente spielen durchgehend den gleichen Ton.
