Awakening Hills by Richard L. Saucedo

[@Accreal]

Our band did this for MPA this year, probably my favorite song we've done in the 4 years I've been in High school band. All of the parts go stupid crazy hard!

[@MidoriyaAigis]

It's amazing that me and band mates are going to perform this song in the spring concert on April 27th which is my birthday! I'm a mallet person which means I'm playing mallet percussion 2!

Happy birthday

Playing this in my seventh grade class. What a song!

[@ILOVEFILMS-21]

WHAT? HOW? IN SEVENTH!?! How did it go! This looks extremely difficult.

[@tomekczerepinski1860]

​@@ILOVEFILMS-21 it's not hard, playing it is a lot different from looking at it

[@ILOVEFILMS-21]

@@tomekczerepinski1860 you’re right I just played the piece in my band class and it was pretty easy

[@comedyyyyyyyyyyyy]

it's so difficult as a tenor sax player

the flute solo gives me shivers is so good

[@Nolangranttt]

i could fall asleep to the flute solo

[@hayvenlewis8449]

i'm flute player and my high school credit class played this song at lgpe in march of 2020

@Hayven Lewis. Melody hog- lol. I play trombone

[@echoesofcrows]

just got back from mpa and we played this ❤️ such a cool song

[@saraimarks3044]

Omg we did Awakening Hills this year for our concert! Great piece.

[@masunori]

This piece kills off mallet percussions and woodwinds

[@tobias1423]

richard saucedo's a very big brass and low brass guy so thats probably why lol, man loves baritones. but there's a lot of woodwind parts that are cool lol

[@P1X3LSgolf]

@@tobias1423 And in this piece specifically, it it actually quite percussion heavy too. I am playing snare on this song for my high school band.

[@summarizer-g5d]

These are one of the pieces that I'm playing for my concert that's happening in 15 days 😭 wish me luck y'all. Because if I fell this I'm definitely not going to be in 10th grade next year ☺️👍

[@nicknyethesaxguy894]

Anthony Rollins I’m guessing MPA is like LGPE

[@tonyrollins2064]

@@nicknyethesaxguy894 it's like a thing where you are rated by performance and sight reading.

[@nicknyethesaxguy894]

Anthony Rollins ok so yeah LGPE. Ours stand for Large Group Performance Evaluation.
