Notes from Thomas about this arrangement:
With all the times Sonic the Hedgehog has gone to space, I might have been stretching the space theme of this album a bit by including a track that isn’t actually in space. Oh well! This track offers the challenge of fleshing out a simple A-B form piece into a full-fledged concert arrangement, and we get there by tossing the melody around to various soloists; first on trumpet, later to trombone, then horn, before going into a straight-ahead orchestration of the original track. We squeeze a lot of variation by treating the melody in various styles, from a lyrical solo treatment to a more triumphant fanfare… and also by sneaking in another Sonic music quote near the end!

the trombone takes the lead 🥹

Simple man here... I like Game Brass, I like Sanic, when I see them combined, I listen to it 5 times

[@maxgemstone7257]

Great job guys, this was AMAZING.

[@Hakkee1980]

wow ...ty so much

[@TornaitSuperBird]

I thought I was already subbed to you guys... But apparently I wasn't. I just rectified that.

[@Medllix]

At the beginning I’m like *wait, OoT title theme??* 😂 Ha, I love this one! Arrangement is great, it’s a pretty simple track that you’ve really fleshed out to be a BANGER. I especially love the horn in this one!

[@Westonnator]

You guys are literally the best concert band ever. I've never seen such a good sound from every single instrument. And don't even get me started on the trumpet sound. on another level. As a trumpet player I salute thee. Only you know the struggle.

[@Sean081799]

Such a clean arrangement as always! Also Fs in the chat for Alex falling off the edge.

[@thiagofoliveira]

Always impressive, guys!

[@dinosaur468]

Where do you guys get these arrangements? It sounds great!

[@theGameBrass]

Thank you! All our arrangements are original and specifically made for The Game Brass, usually by someone in the band itself. This one's by Thomas Kresge.

Great! 👌👍

[@WaterMusic34]

Sounds great. And I love the rolling tuba animation.

[@gustavoasismartinez2273]

EXCELENTE

[@TornaitSuperBird]

Suggestion; Have you guys done any Monster Hunter content? There's a whole dearth of great themes you guys could do!

[@sean.not.shawn1]

Hey. This is awesome. 👏🏽

[@Caedynna]

Gorgeous! I love when different tunes are sprinkled in too :) Well done! 👏👏👏

[@DrBagPhD]
