Rain by Brian Balmages

[@Nat-rw3il]

I remember playing this in band.. I miss those days.. Enjoy your time in band and keep it with you forever, Music truly changes peoples lives..

[@miss93martin]

You should look into playing with a nearby university! Most have a concert band that is free for anyone in the community to join! :D (I say so because that's what I finally did this semester, and you're right. It is life-changing to be making music like this again.

[@Nat-rw3il]

@@miss93martin yes! I'll consider it! Thank you :D

[@YourFavoriteBlackGuy]

StarFox 837 dude I’m in 8th grade and I play the tenor saxophone. I have a launchpad and create my own music 😂. Band is going with me to my grave

[@Nat-rw3il]

@@YourFavoriteBlackGuy That's awesome! xD You'll do great things with your music, I'm sure of it!

[@rTemp-zf9wk]

True

[@joelheinitz2139]

Tearing up listening to such classics like Irish Interlude, Klezmer Karnival, Alligator Alley and, of course, rain. I honestly miss middle school band so much...

[@ShockzG5]

omg alligator alley is legendary

[@stupido1722]

I miss high school band because this is one of my favorite pieces we played and I miss it so much I’m in college now but I want to go back

[@Andi-zc5vp]

Wow 🤩😍trumpets that don’t overpower

[@jookie4207]

Relatable. I’m a clarinet player and that always happens

[@XeroGaming153]

Relatable I’m a percussionist and I always have to listen them get yelled at

[@prestonhall1793]

Rude 😭 trumpets should always be loud and overpowering

[@user-tl6lo9fl7w]

Lmao

[@coolkid-wk3kh]

I played trumpet on this back in middle school and it was hell bro

[@TheAverageMilk]

My band teacher is like, "what's so difficult? I purposely picked this as our easy song." Bruh this song is both hard and not our easiest song

[@turtlewolf34]

mine said this too

[@TheAverageMilk]

@@turtlewolf34 thank you for reminding me of 7th grade middle school band that I heavily disliked

[@charlotteraynor9484]

OMG i just had to look this up! my school band is learning this song and it was just soo awesome i had to watch this!

[@fabienchavez9680]

Charlotte Raynor it is a very beautiful piece

[@thestarsystem8144]

Charlotte Raynor same here

[@veryhelpfulgroblin4529]

Freshman concert band 😥

[@stupido1722]

This song was so important to me my freshman year of high school and the best part of this during our concert it started to rain when we played this it was amazing

[@MF-dz7cp]

I had to play this for the last concert of the year. I'm in 10th grade now and I play the clarinet. This was the only song I could play really well because the rest of the songs were really fast other than parts of blue ridge impressions

[@pollywog6725]

Funny enough I played this last year for my 10th grade year, but instead on bass clarinet Super nostalgic for me for some odd reason

[@voicelessecho8028]

I just had a flashback to my 8th grade winter concert I miss playing this

[@XeroGaming153]

I love this song just so perfect. I’m a musician and can understand any songs feelings and I’m sure there’s others out there too, currently still in high school though and music is my life. It’s what keeps me going.🙂👍

[@yadiraromero4796]

I played this song for Festival and we got a superior !

[@Megawatt514]

This sounds very similar to the water movement of another of his pieces titled Elements, it was my favorite movement and overall my favorite piece!!!

[@emmanuelnavarette2622]

Me being a clarinet player the solo is very easy and the intro to the song is so beautiful I almost cried hearing it

[@flavioespinosa29]

I like when clarinets play at 0:35

[@flavioespinosa29]

E

[@zainabkhawaja944]

flavio Lojano the clarinets in my band play it but yknow very quietly and I love it too

[@zman42]

I’m a clarinet and I play that part your welcome 😃

[@MF-dz7cp]

That always gave me anxiety because I was the only clarinet in band. I still liked it though 😂

[@kingkoconino5840]

my band is playing this for festival we haven't done it yet though.

[@RandomGraham]

This song is moving. Its so hard to make it sound pretty and get the shaping and phrasing just right

[@tinkercrab11]

man, i knew i remembered this from somewhere. i remember doing cymbals, switching from rolling the mallets on the suspended cymbal, then trying to pick up the crash cymbals as fast as i could lol

[@someguy4425]

I was in 2 separate schools and in band in those two schools. Both of them played this, but none of them played this in a concert. Band kids from both schools rioted because of that.

[@kayleighjudas]

Hah, I would have rioted over it too though. My band hasn't played it yet though.

[@risentra6181]

8th grade memories man

[@r0s3n3k0]

This song always gives me the chills, love it so much

[@katelyndavis9417]

1:07 is my favorite part of this song

[@jakeharlan739]

I want our school band to play this 😢😢

[@kayleighjudas]

I think my repeat/loop button is broken after this I love this piece so much because, me being in band, it fascinates me so muchhhhh

[@r0s3n3k0]

Trumpet #2 unite!

[@patrickmiller7583]

played this in my first grade symphonic band lit

[@zman42]

Patrick Miller wait first grade? Or first semester?

[@B.L.R]

@@zman42 I think first semester

[@astrozxmbiee]

I remember playing this in 7th grade, I had chimes.

[@p4ndagirlz83]

my school is playing that song this year

[@joeydavisson7182]

So many time signature changes in this song

[@tophu_]

Look at Quad City Stomp, you'll regret everything you say.

[@aaljustaal1890]

@@tophu_ Go look at The First Circle, you won't be disappointed (Also, Quad City Stomp is a literal bop)

[@Josie-fb2kd]

Look at Havendance, that one had something like 60 time signature changes

[@ethanpederson]

Look at the Rite of Spring

[@ShockzG5]

Rite of spring: am I a joke?

[@user-tl6lo9fl7w]

I'm playing this in band and I don't even know how to play my instrument 💀

[@spidertitan7236]

I’m playing this at carnigie hall

[@soakedcookies]

[@dorionix]

Very skibidi

[@redtailarts101]
