Seven Nation Army - Buckeye Boys State Band (2015)

Description Our Band is comprised of approximately 150 young men selected to be delegates to Buckeye Boys State (BBS), a youth civics and leadership program administered by the Ohio American Legion. The members of the Band are complete strangers from every corner of the state who perform service and program music for daily assemblies and special events at the 8-day program. Because of BBS’s full schedule, each member of the band commits to short daily practices and all the songs you see and hear are performed with less than 30 minutes of practice beforehand. The experience of playing in the BBS Band is a uniquely rigorous and transformative one that is the highlight of each band member’s BBS experience.
Jeff Jordan, Director
Dierre Upshaw, Assistant Director
Richard Alberts, Director Emeritus

This song is cursed for my school, every time we play it our team starts losing or something bad happens

Mine was the exact opposite. Anytime our team started falling behind, the tube's would start up, and the student section would lose their shit, and the football players got hyped like it was a goddamn football movie

I wish we had a trombone section that big. (So I checked this after 3 years and didn't even know it blew up, but a little more context, my band has three trombones. One that isn't as proficient, and is in the same grade as me, another who is a young bass trombonist and is my protégé, who is a sophomore now, and me, a senior now who is majoring in Music Education this Fall. Hope everyone is staying safe in COVID-19!)

It’s not really a school. It’s a program called Boys State in every state for Juniors over the summer.

[@RBVFYT]

@@elliotkim8639 just asking how you know and I play trumpet and how do I get in this

[@elliotkim8639]

RBVF I went to Boys State this past summer for a week at Rider university. In New Jersey, people can apply for the camp at places called “American legion posts.” Essentially, Boys State for New Jersey took on a governmental aspect where hundreds of kids from all over the state are split up into cities. Each city would elect people into office. The part with the band is where kids who play instruments can bring their instruments to the college or university and for a week train with other kids to place a slew of classic songs that is chosen by the person running the band. (There is a lot more if you want me to talk about) If you want more information you could look it up or I could dm you more on Instagram or snap. To start, try look up “Boys State” and add your state name after it.

As a clarinet, I never knew that brass could take over that much.

[@bibliophile4292]

we just never get the chance to; the woodwinds always seem to have the melody

[@Noodle-xk3vy]

As I clarinet as well... I know this will always happen unless you have more woodwinds. I can play really high on the clarinet though and have overpowered a tuba and trumpet.

[@thedankknight8333]

It’s called balance. Realistically us brass have to back off and play less for you to be heard. Same with percussion. That’s why orchestra has a million violins playing but only three trombones 😂

[@09DinoDino]

Me with my 1 Bari sax being able to overpower the 10 altos in my school band

[@dougdimmadome3694]

Yeah, brass tend to do that quite often. I’m a trumpet player, and in my 11th grade band class, we only had two trumpets (including me) and like 8 woodwinds. Somehow, we would overpower all the woodwinds, and we weren’t even playing that loud to begin with. Basically, for every one brass instrument, you’d need like 10 woodwinds to balance it out

[@hotdog1082]

@1:40 I don't see how they could hear themselves play that and say to themselves, "hey, that sounds really good, im gonna keep doing this"

Гопак и Присядка это два разных танца, ты прежде чем писать, на движения посмотрел бы. И раз уж зашло дело о "Гопаке", это движения танца казаков еще в начале 19 века, а уже потом этот танец взял украинский артист балета и подделал под украинский лад. Такие пироги.

[@stealthylama6846]

Не, гопак восходит к XVI-XVII векам, т.е. к временам Сечи. Это украинский танец и не надо тут ля-ля. Ну и в принципе, мы имеем слишком короткий отрезок. Это может быть как российский так и украинский народный танец. Такие дела.

[@НикитаСокол-т5в]
