Contemporary Marching Band - Grade 3-4
From the hottest movie soundtrack to come along in years, here is the dynamic opening number from The Greatest Showman. The opening anthem-like strains lead to an up-tempo chorus with plenty of excitement and drive.

[@rebecca-pf5wf]

Ladies and gents, this is the moment you've waited for (woah) Been searching in the dark, your sweat soaking through the floor (woah) And buried in your bones there's an ache that you can't ignore Taking your breath, stealing your mind And all that was real is left behind Don't fight it, it's coming for you, running at ya It's only this moment, don't care what comes after There's something breaking at the brick of every wall, it's holding All that you know So tell me do you wanna go? Where it's covered in all the colored lights Where the runaways are running the night Impossible comes true, it's taking over you Oh, this is the greatest show We light it up, we won't come down And the sun can't stop us now Watching it come true, it's taking over you Oh, this is the greatest show It's everything you ever want It's everything you ever need And it's here right in front of you This is where you wanna be This is where you wanna be When it's covered in all the colored lights Where the runaways are running the night Impossible comes true, it's taking over you Oh, this is the greatest show We light it up, we won't come down And the sun can't stop us now Watching it come true, it's taking over you This is the greatest show

[@vivicacraze9548]

Thx!

[@blockbreaker8839]

We play this at football games as our stand tunes (HS marching band) and the entire mellophone and Trombone sections just GO OFF

[@aidanstokes2060]

The mellophone part is very fun, speaking from experience.

[@misterface4547]

I played this song in marching band on bass one year and my director has kept it as a stand tune. This piece is fun on all percussion parts especially snare with the fast 16th note runs throughout.

[@emma-pd3yp]

A lot has changed since then we got new directors, Corona is happening, I'm a senior now, it's crazy to think of and I'm super happy we did this show because it was best so far! This year we're doing "Music of the Boys" with Drag Me Down, I Want It That Way, and What A Man Gotta Do. I'm hyped!

[@carsonstephens2508]

CameronPlaysTrumpet the difference between a cornet and a trumpet is like the difference between a baritone and a euphonium. One is conical bore(cornet and euphonium) which gives a mellow, darker sound and the other is cylindrical bore(trumpet and baritone) which gives a brighter sound

Its my favorite!

Hey, my marching band is doing this right now!

[@Khay0sTV]

This would be a cool excerpt to play at a parade

[@pandyy]

Man, did I really forget to leave a reminiscent comment two days after the end of the season? I guess so. So here it is: I haven’t talked much about band camp or the pre-season percussion practice. Why not share that story now? That practice was the first time I met anyone else in the pit. I knew some of the people in drum line though!! Not gonna lie, I was terrified. High schoolers??? Who don’t even know who I am??? Who are probably much better than me at this which is kind of intimidating????? It really wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. In fact, I really enjoyed it!!! For some reason, I had to show up late, making things more awkward for me. People kept leaving the room for whatever reason (I think they were skipping for a bit lmao) and the rest of the pit kept trying to get them or something. That gave me time to practice without worrying about anyone judging me!! I understood the music for the most part. Eventually, one of the drum line members came in along with everyone else and said I was doing really well which meant a lot to me because I was super nervous and I ended up playing a little more confidently for the rest of the practice (if you see this thank you for giving me confidence). That’s all I really remember Soooo band camp. Missed the first day because I was on vacation, 2nd day director told my section that we can show up late if we want to since the first few hours are just marching (and we don’t do that). We did that for the last three days and it all went well!!! We also teamed up with the color guard to do a scavenger hunt and won bragging rights which I might try to keep haha. That’s it have a good season guys!!

[@pandyy]

Here we are in the future here we are in the future and it’s bright 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻 just finished my second season ever and I somehow still remember this whole song
