Contemporary Marching Band - Grade 3
Written for the Japanese anime series “Cowboy Bebop,” this blazing theme has taken on a life of its own! Slightly quirky, but definitely bombastic, this chart is sure to create a buzz!

Paul Murtha always drops bangers

[@Earth2Atlas]

My pep band is learning this right now, and it sounds SO fun but we are absolutely STRUGGLING

[@Memeking65]

I played the jazz version of it and it is so much harder

[@ThatOneAnnoyingPubPlayer]

3, 2, 1, let's jam.

[@darxc1ty]

they missed the opportunity to add that part

[@2mas_dub]

Nah didn’t, if you start it from right after the beginning it lines up, doesn’t sound right but you can still include it lol

[@henny7895]

we’re playing this is the stands. i play first trumpet and i literally love this

[@2mas_dub]

Same man, We actually are playing this in the stands and in our actual show this year, its gonna be awesome

[@wyattswofford845]

I’ve waited for this for so long!

[@webduelist]

try 17 years

[@willn703]

This is awesome!

[@TheCooledBrickBattle]

I remember playing this song in grade 5 band. Everyone loved it.

[@aidanclements5682]

THIS IS SO COOL OMG

[@adumneeli4966]

all winds: grade 4 percussion: grade 2 this is why i hate stock arrangements

[@ThePickIeGod]

My Jazz Band git this piece today and we could play like the first page of music.

[@canalbandashow]

*com certeza muitos vão tocar esse arranjo* 👏👏👏

[@RapotatoGAMING]

where is the "3, 2, 1, let's jam"????

[@TWMB]

Awesome

[@tonykeast6352]

Can’t wait to march this lol

[@josephthomas7462]

Oh hell yeah

[@mrbean1192]

I just suggested this for my jazz band director and can’t wait to see if he’ll let us do this

[@zorasmith4880]

This is what every jazz band student dreams of.

[@Stephenp503]

​@zorasmith4880 a couple of years ago one kid in my jazz band kept begging the director to play tank, and eventually we did for like 2 days before stopping. Now, the year after he graduated, we're playing this at all our halftime shows

[@captainkiwi77]

It’s perfect on 1.25x speed

[@dedede5586]

NO WAAAAAAY

[@FastnOut]

They've been using a lot of virtual drum line recently. It's not bothering me but it's just interesting

[@williamsanborn9195]

Not too shabby. Definitely wasn’t expecting it to be in F minor!

[@Tingalinga]

Bro I want to play this in pep band!!! Sigh

[@firekid4085]

The tenors in this recording sound crispy

[@eboone]

Virtual Drumline

[@starkill69]

i also play trumpet who all plays trumpet

[@MikeyWayne-zw9pw]

The original arrangement was already in c minor why he add another flat?😮😅

[@eboone]

No clue

[@FastnOut]

That's a good point. Usually arrangements from Hal Leonard are commonly written in the key of Bb major, F major, Ab major and E flat major. It's very odd tbh I agree

[@Kryptopunk2007]

please do sunroof.

[@MasterFighter06]

Bro the beginning sounds like zavodila

[@ThatOneAnnoyingPubPlayer]

better to think of it the other way round, this song is 20 years older than zavodila

[@DATANK553]

goes so hard

[@eboone]

Why not do this in the original key

[@alejandroalvarezossa470]

Tank is a pretty advanced piece; this key and overall arrangement is easier for a high school marching band to play
