[@Epic4ever]

That is the saddest I've ever heard "Leaving Hogwarts" been played. It made me cry and reminded me how much I miss it all. Thank you for that.

[@squidy2343]

wow....we're playing this in band right now, and there is absolutely no way we're going to sound THAT good. This is like perfect!

[@katiemccleary99]

5:45 made me cry :( miss harry potter so much

[@eliisaabethh]

John William is THE BEST!

[@TheJayyyR]

WOOOO!!! go mr adams :D

[@lvtmp117]

YAY its Harry! Great balance and blend- nice flutes

[@thegoodgeneral]

@stevenhamlin1000 The celeste used in the original soundtrack for HP was actually a synthesizer played by Randy Kerber.

[@xXKiSsxKoNtAgIoUsxX]

Chills throughout the whole thing!

[@MatheusMarGar]

Fantastic! ... Happiness From Brazil!

[@bluebird6545]

My band is playing this piece for our movie themed spring concert.

[@rossignollyr]

Zomg! I wish I could've been there. Always dreamed of going to a "Harry Potter" performance. =)

[@thebigcheesehead]

Just wanted to point out to people giving props to the flutes for the runs in the beginning bit, the 1st clarinet has those runs too, and the clarinet(s) played them very well too. I know from playing them that they aren't easy runs to play.

[@putra0812]

Most perfect...I think. Its wonderful.

[@SuperMarioDWfan]

Leaving Hogwarts... ah that really got me!

[@putra0812]

Most perfect...I think. Its wonderful

Very enjoyable, great sound

[@JohannahWills]

this was beautiful! very nice arrangement!

[@ASenart727]

I wish my band could play this!

[@lambikins]

I've ALWAYS wanted to see what instruments created Hedwig's Theme, in particular the opening music which always sounded like a music box to me. Now I know it'sa vibraphone (I think that's it). Excellent recording and wonderful to see "live" via a recording. :)

[@lifeworksat20]

That was absolutely wonderful....beautiful version. well done

[@thejackadams]

@scy511 Ages in this group range from 16 to 60 and thank-you. I'll pass on your compliment to the flutes.

[@Selana]

[@VictorCaioRamos]

Saudade do Jonh Willians... espero que ele volte pra fazer os últimos 2 filmes... I hope so John Willians come back in the last 2 Harry Potter's movies...

[@AraJade]

Beatiful arrangement, makes me tear up a little, and I'm not a very emotional person.. music and harry potter are the only two things that have EVER done that two me... out of the three times, keep up the amazing work

[@maestro230b]

@Mcl0vin11 I love playing timpani and I'm a flute player. Occasionally there won't be enough percussionists and so I volunteer to play timpani. So much fun!

[@theus2611]

My fav part too, ALWAYS make me cry :')

[@lap116]

nice horns love it play horn myself

[@KevinHeartRound]

SO MANY CLARINETS!~ Their awesome!

[@sputnik00]

your performance was a joy. if you ever come down to singapore, we should arrange a band exchange!

[@N3kronaut]

They need more.

[@ab211125]

this makes me want to be in band

[@Swaggkidd42]

I love the group sound this video impressed me tubas saxes and horns all day haha(:

[@radlikewhoa]

I love how it pans to people not playing when the woodwinds have ridiculous parts.

[@flutegreen30]

excelente presentación... ;-)

[@winteriiz]

The HORNS are AWESOME!

[@zachkilian765]

The beginning was BOSS!

[@emilyekmm]

amazing

[@Dreamhigh201198]

It sounds great :)

[@LarxeneFishy99]

I chills listening to this~ It sounds amazing. I wish my band could play this. -~- Oh well. It still sounds freaking awesome. These people have gained the authority to become a wizard/witch

[@EuniceYoshida]

omg the song is so delicate ! Perfectionn :D

[@elucidator787]

*--* So beautiful :D

[@DaBlondeTwins]

I love this SOOO much!!! We're doing a Harry Potter piece in my band and I hope that it's this one!! I

[@jngeorge]

Very nice. :)

[@thegoodgeneral]

The closest thing to a good recording of "Nimbus 2000." Great job, guys!

[@lazersly]

I find it interesting to hear a different take on these themes...

[@lifeworksat20]

The flutes did a fantastic job in the beginning with the scales. its so hard. I play flute and clarinet my self.

[@thejackadams]

The sign is in Japanese and says: Sasebo Wind Orchestra...the name of the ensemble.

[@j0hnnyboi1]

The very beginning was so BOSS

[@Christian444089]

Awesome I see BASS CLARINETS!!!

[@AthenCarol]

One does not simply dislike this amazing song.. Well, except death eaters.

[@N3kronaut]

Sorry didn't see it, but from my opinion I say there should be more. They give such a beautiful sound!

[@mariebiscuitlambpok]

I like the Glockenspiel at the start

[@emiliegibeault7140]

wow that was amazing. I want to play this in my school band now...

[@emmawilding886]

nah school bands can be really good! our secondary school has an orchestra and they are actually good! you have to be minimum grade 4 to get in.

[@Sehvash]

what age group does this vary from? it's pretty good, and the flutes are doing a really good job on the scales at the beginning.

[@nassor22]

Lindo !

[@mewsermeow]

That percussion part at the beginning, just gorgeous. Instead of our percussion, that stand around like dork wads.

[@SunsetGrey]

i guess there is no way i can get a full sheet music on this? :D very nice playing all of them

[@vonteboyPlaysMC]

this a really good preformance

[@lambikins]

@chunwong1993 Hey, chunwong!!! I just discovered your answer to me; I had changed youtube addresses right after this. Thanks for your answer; I wiki'd "celesta" and was fascinated by the instrument...never heard of it in my life and it makes perfect sense that that is what John would have used. Thanks again for the education!

[@fantastomatic]

wooow, das ist sehr gelungen :)

[@martynabobek]

Love ot

[@thejackadams]

The people you see playing timpani are percussionists. They don't just play one instrument. They learn to play all of the percussion instruments. Most of them can play the drum kit as well...and playing timpani is fun!

[@Daedalus33]

the timpani player also playing the triangle never seen tht one before. hope i get to play this in band.

[@panicandfoblvr]

@harrypotter4ever25 this is why johny williams is a genius!

[@TheFantasticHarry]

From 6:22 to 7:06... Amazing...

[@reymysterio619221998]

I love this ! usually i wont watch stuff for 9 minutes straight on youtube , but this really amazed me ! i wanna learn this now(: Im a clarinet and im having trouble moving my fingers on 8 notes and 16 notes from low notes to high notes . but im trying .Bu i wish my band can play this . they cant even play John Williams Trilogy ......

[@shonhayashi]

Awesome piece, but some parts of this are ridiculously hard ^__^

[@5botball]

Japan bands are always good this goes for orchestras too

[@thejackadams]

@stevenhamlin1000 Unfortunately, we don't have a harp player. That's the only part played on the synth.

[@TheSoftballstar1261]

I

[@NeonTwister]

~Someone needs to sue the guy who is coughing and interrupting this beautiful performance.

[@SunsetGrey]

Wow, that is brath taking, specially the start

[@TheDarkblue8]

You all sound very good, I like you all, your band is very great. I have heard it varies from 16 - 60 in age, most of the people playing percussion look around 16-25, is this true?

[@MrDanielBrisk]

@jbe1996 I have taught at every grade level of instrumental music. I can tell you from experience that even 5th graders love to play timpani. Also, what thejackadams says is true: the musicians you see are well-rounded percussionists, but they will have a natural inclination to be drawn to one instrument over another. Some prefer mallets, some snare and some timpani. Make no mistake though, there are those who want to be percussionists and then there are those who want to hit things.

[@MiNamSshi]

Wow. When I'm listening to this, I feel like my own class really sucks. xD

[@rexckt]

@jbe1996 I love Timpani the most in the percussion, more than the drum set, when I was a kid.

[@happyjenna4]

I love this,it is just too mysterious!Well this is a WIND orcheastra so I don't see what is the fuss about

[@Tannerleonardo]

Amazing! if by anyy chance, could you please please please email me the synth part to this?

[@Sehvash]

@thejackadams No problem... even though this was made in 08 :) I'm 16 myself. I play clarinet where are you located, or is the band an invite only type thing? I'm trying to get my feet in the door in the classical community.

[@jbe1996]

@thejackadams i know that, I play timpani my self (: but they have probably been offered, like me, to play in an orcestra, and then learned how to play timpani. I play all kinds of percussion instruments, so I know what it's like..

[@thejackadams]

@Mcl0vin11 My guess would be none of them and I know them all quite well. This is a community band and all of the members play in it because they love to play. Japanese children are usually allowed to choose the activities in which they wish to participate and then encouraged to give their very best effort at all times. A strong work ethic is a huge part of their culture. In this case, that translates to strong practice ethic which any accomplished musician knows is necessary for success.

[@ProDucktionzz]

5:40 best song

[@RetardedSunshine1]

UAAAAAAAU!!!!!!!!! O_O

[@yuumari428]

かっこいい！♡吹きたい〜(￣▽￣)

[@BaySean]

[@WyPotter]

nicenicenice

[@firelordwolffang]

1st part my favorite 0:05 to 1:30 what is that called and where can i get that part?

[@NMC21887]

I'm guessing this ensemble has no oboes since there's a soprano saxophone playing a section where oboes are supposed to...

[@NetoxxHD]

... 6:21 ...
