ANOTHER SIGNATURE SONG OF THE HOUSE OF PRAYER FOR ALL THE PEOPLE!!

[@salvagesonic2903]

I wasnt in expecting that

[@vkendrick904]

The more I see Uhop bands the more I am impressed. Their harmonies and arrangements. They aren't afraid to play any song. Their interpretation is awesome. Do they just make up the harmonies or is there an arranger. I hope someone can answer. Simply amazing

[@miawillis9904]

They play by ear usually the leaders arrange the songs.

[@efartstainedglassdesign2383]

As I know there is no written arrangments. They play just as singer style. There is main rithm section, harmony back up and lead melody section. Main leader control all the process of song, start and stop and play the main solos in all... It can be felt it is main to serve the church process which need be flexible. It is so much similar as circus bands of the band era of entertainment when the conductor flexible lead the band thrue the show. They are professionals with much of together practice, much of work and high flexibility thrue the instrument. They play as singers sing ;) For it is the trombone best instrument to play as sing. Couse that we trombonists say we sing that musis more than play :) In that, ahout band is the best i think so...

[@Treynite75]

It really depends on the band. Sometimes its the leader sometimes its whoever brought the song to the band. It varies.

[@senergystarr4808]

HAPPY music amen

Its hard for me to hear the bass horn and the run leads
