Lady Gaga Saga, The Breaking Winds Bassoon Quartet

[@LShackley]

You ladies are loads of fun. When I was at ESM in 1974, one of the bassoon majors wrote a huge Christmas carol medley for 8 bassoons & two contras, and they performed it on the stairway in the main hall. Also much jollity.

[@bobshishkabob05]

all of my favorite things in the world are in this one video. nice.

[@m_matthew]

I knew I recognized that room! I was ESM (BM 1999). I used to love doing things like this. Thanks for keeping the tradition alive!

[@nubesnegras10]

I think if Gaga sees this would be very proud !....nice work ladies!..

[@grawrlove]

You know, this just made my day. Two of my favorite things, Bassoons and Lady Gaga. If I wasn't the only bassoon at my current highschool I would so do something like this...And I'll be the only bassoon at the college I'm going to next year, also because the only one there currently is graduating...so I don't get to do this...

[@emmapeters6391]

I’m the only Bassoon in my entire towns school system. The other one graduated and here I am

[@wilde1016]

Ah, you gals sure know how to get the job done. I know how hard it is to March bassoon, I've been doing it since I was 10, and I'm 15 now. Keep up the good work, I'm inspired by you girls.

[@nickbarrow2805]

Wow, since 10.. I started saxophone at 13 and marching tenor at 16.. can’t imagine doing it with a bassoon.

[@redfoxcat5537]

This is literally the most perfect thing ever!

[@TheBreakingWinds]

Lauren from our group actually switched from flute to bassoon, and look where she is now! The fingerings are all different, but the way you use your air will be pretty similar.

[@xxabbeycatxx1547]

Same here

[@missvampirefreak191]

WOOT WOOT!!bassoon POWER!!!makes me proud to be one!!

[@psft001]

absolutely friggin awesome - bloody brialiant . . . . . . . I've been playing bassoon for almost 40 years and totally loved this - my pupils thought it was so cool - excellent, rock on dudes!

[@psft001]

absolutely friggin awesome - bloody brilliant . . . . . . . I've been playing bassoon for almost 40 years and totally loved this - my pupils thought it was so cool - excellent, rock on dudes!

[@malopelli]

youtube is showing the beginning of a new approach of the playing of this marvelous instrument in all styles

[@ak42u68]

That was absoultuely amazing! Great tone, balance, and presentation!

[@Jazzyrose95]

I wish we had this when I was in school! I started on alto sax then switched to bassoon in the 7th grade and played it all through high school. BASSOON'S RULE!!

[@dulcimoo]

Unless a CONTRABASSOON is in the house, then the CONTRABASSOON rules!

[@PeterTschirky]

hello from switzerland, wow, this is really great music, I love such funny bassoon music. Sincerely Peter Tschirky

[@saxmangeoff]

Absolutely brilliant! The arrangement, the costumes, the choreography, and the basson playing are all top notch. Kudos, and thanks for the 6 wonderful minutes listening to this.

[@adiri021]

I think this is amazing and so good that you can make your instrument accessible for people who do not know about it or are not as interested in the typical music you would play.

[@TheVenhammer]

The Breaking Winds actually came to my school the other day and performed this medley among other popular songs. They have a really unique thing going for them. Keep at it Breaking Winds!

[@lucythompson8088]

i used to play brass but now i love my bassoon!!!! you people rule! i love your music

[@astraldimma]

Not only is this a great idea, but the performance was awesome too!

[@AXEEEisLOVE]

My band director played this for the 8th graders in class today and told us to watch the video because he only had the sound recording. This is just amazing! Our Bassoon player needs to learn to be this amazing! And If my band director reads this, yes you Mr. Gore, try and figure out which student wrote this, won't be hard. You should do another Quartet, but to a different band with a bunch of their songs just like this. Keep up the amazing work! :)

[@GracefulTacos]

This is amazing! I wish I could dance and play the bassoon that well! Pure talent~

[@joaopereira-rd5wg]

*Hard work and Pure talent are different things.

[@janetgrice]

That is so fantastic! I love it! Bravo to you! Janet Grice, DMA

[@TombedOrchestra]

I'm a senior music education major at SUNY Fredonia... just wanted to let you know that this was -amazing- !

[@bradboda]

caught a recording of the group on NPR Public Radio... Unbelievable.... and now I'm subscribed to the channel.

[@egopretiosasum]

YOU ARE INCREDIBLE! I WANNA PLAY THAT THIS YEAR !

[@ImaFermata]

I HAVE NEVER LIKED PLAYING BASSOON AS MUCH AS I DO NOW. THIS IS THE GREATEST VIDEO I HAVE EVER SEEN. I think you guys did a great job, it was perfect in every way, I don't think it could have been any better.

[@OfLittleOrNoPrestige]

YES.YES.YES. omg. this is amazing. i've never been so proud to play bassoon.

[@IAMmisspixel]

Amazing! It also shows how good Gaga's melodies are...

[@lobsidedbob]

When I try to think of Poker Face, it always transitions into Bad Romance without me noticing, and it is 100% because of this video.

[@etcerari]

This is glorious beyond words. I play flute and I know how difficult it is to move around with instruments that take up a lot of space. I salute you! And now I really want to learn how to play the bassoon.

[@VictorAmati]

Just dont read the music and you would be PERFECT. For now you are really really AWESOME!

[@ash2837]

I'm going to start playing the bassoon soon!

[@FitzBurtFamily]

this is all over university of michigan's school of music. we love you guys.

[@savvyandskye]

Your sound is so pure! Very entertaining performance

[@bettendorfer78]

I remember the first instrument I picked up was a coronet. That was all they offered in 6th grade. When I went to Junior high I saw an old case sitting in the corner of the band room. I asked my instructor what is was and he said it was a Bassoon. On that day I put down the brass and took up the double reed. Best choice I ever made. :)

[@Ed1956K]

Loved it! Thank you very much for this! Going to share it on Facebook!

[@ElTeleron]

Soooooooo good! Absolutely incredible!

[@mwa1928]

This just makes me even more excited to begin playing the Bassoon! Switching from Trombone... THIS is AMAZING.

[@randomneko3786]

How is your bassoon playing going 11 years later?

[@luannelu]

Way to go! The bassoon can rock! Love it.

[@yacanman11]

THIS IS AWESOME! I don't play bassoon, but I do know double reeds are so freaking sensitive, stance and position all effects the sound, this is EPIC.

[@lazybum77]

I luv this so much!!! I play bassoon and I REALLY wanna do this!!!!

[@ragnick2]

Very nice!!! You guys did your thing!!

[@TheRedMarie]

[@goldberg988]

[@muscleboi4use]

WOW You GUYS are GREAT!! Fantastic!! Thank you so much for brightening up my day!

[@sugoiokashi]

Switched from bass clarinet to bassoon immediately after i saw this. Without a question, best choice i ever made, because I'm the first bassoonists ever in my school district. Best. Choice. Ever :)

[@jeweltoned]

[@kyralaurel9370]

[@ShadowandTear]

Wow....that's really really cool!

[@emilyshannon8442]

[@kpearloboe]

To say that I can't stand Lady Gaga (the performer) is a huge understatement. To say that I love this is also a huge understatement. Amazing!!

[@KressF]

You gals can break wind anytime you need, well done! Such style, such amazing choreography! =)

[@PurelBloodlPrincessx]

THAT WAS SO GREAT.

[@MyWorldOfBlocks]

[@rosadioro]

Pure genius! Seriously, where can we get an arrangement? I speak on behalf of my music teacher brethren: WE NEED TO USE THIS WITH OUR STUDENTS! I'm thinking viola chorus.

[@TheBL08]

I like this !!!

[@stephbsn]

You are legends!

[@rawrr2099]

As a bassoonist myself, I really want to do something like this with your sheet music with three others now!!:)
