Yes. Mellophone. Yes.

[@guitarmansegovia]

SenapatiAN Bocook is a genius at mellophone writing.

[@ratking_c24]

One of the most underrated shows

[@paytondenton9906]

can we mention that their low brass(especially tubas) are really really strong

[@fatherexodus7688]

Exactly

[@TubaSammy]

I marched tuba that year, best BK line of the decade

[@victorkindermann8559]

1:22 = GOOSEBUMPS amazing sound....

[@Mr_Curtis_Kelley]

the one person who disliked this missed his flight to paradise

[@stevendratler6340]

One of the most beautiful sounding hornlines I've ever heard.

[@kai1386]

TikTok can really reveal something extraordinary sometimes

[@lillianbleano7329]

[@gabrielh7517]

This is what marching bands are meant for. Fucking A+

[@jash137]

Best thing to ever be played by the Blue Knights. Incredible.

[@sterlingpinoy]

saw this in person and this made cry. it was so beautiful

[@prionian6641]

That's Eric Whitercare for ya. He made Fly To Paradise or as my band knows it as Bliss, we played it for our brassline instructor that had to go in for surgery and normally before every run at competition, other than that, beautiful song

[@TNG173]

Those mellos didn't miss a thing. Damn impressive

[@scbengarde]

We played Fly To Paradise last year for our marching show. Let me tell you, it was one of those pieces that provoked chills, but this version provides more than chills, the dynamics are fantastic, not to mention the tuning and conducting, hats off to the band, you guys are terrific.

[@TheHoneyDrop1990]

Omg I love this song so much because my high school played it the same year for BOA and holy hell was this just spectacular. My stomach just dropped when they flipped their horns up and produced that god sound and the mellophone just destroyed it😍👏😭

[@rachelleyers8475]

i still listen to this frequently and it chills me every time

[@jarrettallbee157]

This is by far my favorite closer not only because my brother was in it but it’s so beautifully played

[@Aljhun]

[@Cmng8r]

We had this as our opener and closer for 2021 season. One of the best songs out there, just fits marching band so perfectly

[@tubamanhenry]

So glad I'm trying out for BK this year

The Woman never quite liked her father. He never had time for her when she was young, and the memories where she'd seen him genuinely happy were only a hand full at most. He abandoned her and her mother when she was 9, and her mom never recovered from that. After she passed, the woman had nothing. She later learned that her father was a warrior in a war, unseen by the public, against a great evil that was threatening the whole human race. She decided to join this war, but the hole her father left in her heart remained. When she was twentie, she met a man who managed to fill that hole, even for a tiny bit, and together they fought the all devouring evil, the great enemy of mankind. She could't belive her eyes as she met her father again, still fighting against the evil forces. He tries to apologize, but she doesn't want to hear it and so they go their seperate was. After countless battles and years of constant fighting, the woman and the man are looking back at turbulent time , in which they made and lost friends, helped each other out of hopeless situations and became inseparable. But one last crucial battle acainst the dark forces remained, and everything was at stake. After years, in which the readers of this story will have grown close to these charakters, have seen all their flaws and problems they've overcome, they now see them in a hopeless situation. With her back against the wall, the woman has to watch helplessly as the warriors of evil are pushing the man that she loved and who was by her side for all those years into a portal to hell itself. She's crying and screamig, but her hands are tied and a blade is held at her throat. Suddenly, the wall next to her explodes, and her dad runs into the room. He leaps into the portal and manages to throw the man out. As the portal closes, he smiles sadly at his daughter and manages to say the words he could't say in all those years: "I love you" This is the moment where music like this sould be played.

Nothing beats being on the warm-up circles for brass other than being on that field or in that stadium

@@tuttles2944 Fly to Paradise

[@Burbsi]

1:22 is so epic but the ending after 1:48 sounds so wrong to my ears. Am i the only one who feels that way?

[@ViktorHJ]

Its clipping, not very much of the sound left after 1:48
