Rocketship! - Kevin Day

[@docotuero09]

The fact that nobody is talking about the conductor is crazy. Mans was COOKING 🔥🔥🔥

[@Cor-kid]

The snare is fucking incredible in this song. I heard another local highschool band play this song really well, especially their percussion. Everytime I listen to concert band it reminds me why I joined it in the first place lol

[@that_type_of_guy3842]

ACTUALLY, the snare player at our school played it by himself, and just him alone, i creamed...

[@turtl-r8p]

This song is so crazy… it sounds like the kind of song that you remember for years just because of how incredible it is. Like I play the accessories part and I still feel the vibes of it

[@Mary-w7g]

Hearing the snare up close in the middle of playing was one of the coolest moments ever it felt so amazing I still get excited and then the slower part always makes me get chills THIS SONG IS THE BEST

[@monkeytheman7424]

I'm playing this for my school band concert, playing the chimes is so much fun, absolutely love this song!

[@Ez2309-s7t]

my bands also playing it

[@liasnead47]

Anthony, I simply love watching you conduct!

[@onionorion69]

I love this song so much. I had a lot of fun playing it on the vibes last year for our spring concert!

[@m0chi_liv3]

We played this for our all region band yesterday and it was so fun 🙏🏼

[@leomartino3902]

It’s him! The composer😮

[@DevilOPlaysTuba]

freaking love this piece

[@NathanCrawlyGnome]

Absolutely love this piece. The blend and balance between the flutes, mixed with the aggressive brass parts, makes it very riveting to listen to. I play the snare part, and I love how this piece utilizes a marching snare. It makes for a very articulate sound, which I think is what’s needed for a powerful piece like this. Amazing work by the conductor too, conducting a piece with such technical parts.

[@Cinderace101]

The horn part 👌 I just now preformed this a week after I watched this video I am so happy it was amazing to preform

[@leomartino3902]

Percussionist in my ms honors band, snare is super fun!

[@bronxboy151]

the symphonic band at my school played this 2 days ago for music in the parks at six flags it sounds so good in person. i’m in concert band tho so i didn’t get to play i played a different song.

[@tinyturkey1918]

I played this song in the youth honor band and it was amazing. (I had the chime part) We are playing this song again at my schools spring concert and i am so excited. (This time i will have the snare part)

[@robert19]

chord at 193 (4:02) is INSANE. amazing snare too.

[@na_iromaki1749]

augmented chords!!

[@nosmith0741]

I just played this at all NorthWest band at PLU in Tacoma, WA. The snare part was so fun to play

[@watsonstilwell4914]

No way, I played first clarinet for this piece at PLU, and was about to say something about it...your snare playing went SO hard

[@nosmith0741]

@@watsonstilwell4914 thanks a ton lol

[@MylesGresbach]

Im currently playing this for my school, im on the snare and its so fun

[@NathanCrawlyGnome]

Word, it's so epic.

[@asianstryder8514]

about to play this at my school and i gotta say it’s so much fun rehearsing rn

[@Mary-w7g]

I absolutely loooved playing this! I came back to listen to it cause I wanted to hear the snare part and then I remembered how good it was 😭😭 the trumpet part is actually so fun and the lyrical part is so emotional and I wanna just gobble this song up I LOVE IT

[@CloudyMusik12]

Came here after having a look around the Polaris Dawn Missions website and boy! Not only has it been awhile since I've seen such a lovely design on a website but it was nice to discover such a bangin song!

[@MrHrnplyr1]

Great performance! And those horns!

[@FUNKY096]

dude my senior bff played this on snare and he went OFF, he went crazy 😂

[@charactercreations0]

I love the conductors effort

[@DevilOPlaysTuba]

glad i wasnt the only one who thought a marching snare would be good in a concert band piece

[@gerbia8022]

fr

[@NathanFung412]

I am marching snare.

[@ProPilotF82]

I played this piece for band, and I really enjoyed it. Every bit of it is a treat. Listening to it though, I can’t help but think it sounds like Cities:Skylines music. The only thing missing is the river, the occasional tweet thing with poorly used hashtags, and waste being pumped directly into the water supply.

[@DevinSeeleyDevilO]

It really does, finally someone else noticed

[@angelaclarinet]

This piece goes so hard the marching snare almost sounds like gunshots 😍

[@jorjie1234]

im playing this for band on the alto sax😧

[@charactercreations0]

High desert honor band?

[@stupidswag]

[@ricardojunior3118]
