@@kieranbennett166 yeah as someone who uhhh you know... actually plays an instrument seriously, its obvious you're having a laugh so im just gonna leave this here
@@KairuHakubi The people in the chairs are the concert band students. In most bands programs, both concerts are together so the kids that also do jazz just move to the other set-up, then they move back later. The actual audience is in the bleachers:)
The fact that most of these kids are in middle school is even more impressive. We don’t have enough people in our jazz band, I’m one of only two trombone players :/
It's actually quite easy to play even if the conductor isn't showing every beat. Many conductors actually only show the first beat of each bar and most of the kids weren't looking anyways.
Its also pretty common for jazz bands to not have the conductor conduct, its more of a jazz thing because jazz doesnt have as hard set rules as other music
The only thing remotely bad about this was that the saxes could be playing out more. Or at least heard better. Honestly that’s all, it was really good other than that.
I heard a band kid that plays the clarinet on my bus say that they call the clarinet and flute a sadness stick since you can't hear them much when they play because of the brass and percussion kids. I guess I'm lucky I chose the violin but that means I'm in orchestra and the band kids get to do things that are more fun but at least we get to go to a state fair in 7th and 8th grade for a compition and get to go on rides instead of doing a parade for the elementary schools but, you get some you lose some. At least the orchestra Teacher's chill.
@@katedp7825 lmao out trumpet and brass players lost all motivation and just sound terrible. Im a flute, and all the clarinets and flutes just hear demented goose screams during all the band practices.
Trombone guy here. sorry about that, we hate the sound of each other and ourselves as well. I’ve stopped playing now and now play guitar but me and my two other trombone friends all have the same experience of trying to not overpower you flutes and miserably failing. :(
@@katedp7825 I mean they are quieter but they also always get the melody and are really high so they soar over everything else (except trumpets, I guess). I'm a bass clarinetist so I get the worst of both worlds being quiet, low, and not the melody! Still far more fun than my normie soprano days though
Students: Hey Teacher, there's a "Christmas" song we want to play called "Megalovania." Here is the music. Teacher: This sounds really good! Let's play it at the concert! Students: We got 'em now bois.
Dang. I was expecting it to be slowed WAY down, but the kids took it at a pretty darn good pace. I'm very much impressed (especially by the trombones, as an ex-trombonist). Some of my favorite memories in band were from jazz band. I loved this from start to finish.
My Jazz Band only has 10 kids in it!! You guys are so lucky to have as many people in it as you do. I really wish we could play Megalovania, but the two percussionists always try to outdo each other by playing it faster than the other one on the xylophones. 😂 Great job you guys, and I LOVED listening to this!! 😸
Yeah we have 2 Alto Saxes (I'm one of them), 1 Tenor Sax, 1 Valve Trombone, 1 regular Trombone, 1 Trumpet, 2 Percussion, 1 Electric Guitar, and 1 Upright Bass. All the sax players are girls and the brass players are boys. It's pretty interesting because me and the tenor sax player started out with the clarinet and then learned the saxophone for jazz band!
Well yeah, the percussion is the backbone of any song (pun intended). Try listening to any song with its percussion removed, and you'll know what I mean
Wow this swings. I wish my middle/high school band teachers cared about the repertoire the students liked, instead of forcing their own songs on us. More people would’ve probably stuck with it. Very well done!
The band director: *looking up megalovania for a jazz band* Also the band director: *is failing, about to give up* "You are filled with *determination* "
Man it's crazy what Covid did to band. This middle school band is honestly pretty incredible, it just makes me disappointed in my high school band now because nobody hardly ever practices
Can we just appreciate how supportive the choirmaster (is that what his called? Blame Google Translate) is? You can clearly hear by how he says "a big hit for the kids" and "picture games" that he doesn't fully get the context behind this, but he goes along with it and lets the kids have fun
I played this same arrangement in my middle school jazz band :D I even played the solo but got lost in the middle so improvised as well as a 7th grader could
this is actually so well done im impressed that middle schoolers were able to pull something like this off. this is definitely one of my favorite covers of all time
I remember middle school band where me and my friend would start playing this is people would gradually join in and we’d play the whole song while the teacher was out of the room
We literally were able to convince our director to let us play this in our high school jazz band last year and it was glorious (it's even the same arrangement lol)
God damn! Song aside, I've never heard a MIDDLE SCHOOL band this good!! Every middle school concert I've been to sounded so out of tune, like the way a large group of people lazily sings happy birthday, lol. Love to see talented and driven young people!
Shoutout to the band director for actually finding a fantastic arrangement and agreeing to have them play this!
69th like
2.1 thousandth like
2.2 thousandth like
Jeez didn't expect 3.2k likes holy
Yea, actually finding something that they like rather than making them play some 300 year old song that no one wants to play
For them to be middle schoolers they aren't bad. Some of them are probably in High - School now so it'd be nice to hear them now. 👌
Agreed
Fitting timing on our parade day for band.
@@m1st3r.m.mus1c3 same, I have a parade in a few hours
Nice to see how the UA-cam algorithm brought us together today. And yeah it would be nice to see them now
Some of them definitely are getting high.
This literally would fit *VERY WELL* on a james bond type movie

Be honest, who else is jealous that their middle school wasn't this cool??? As a freshman in high school I am definitely jealous!
My middle school jazz band did this last year!
@@is_a_plant The coolest thing my middle school did was play a piece that made us sound like a train. The Great Locomotive Chase
@@unobrunoboi1499 I mean, that sounds cool! My bffs band played that! I'm really happy because my band director chose awesome music for us this year
@@is_a_plant High school music is soooo much cooler
@@unobrunoboi1499 I bet!
Wow! (I was lead trombonist) fun times. So happy that someone recorded this lol
This is a wholesome band reunion here
Small world huh

Hey guys I didn't go to this school but is one of the Altos named Camille? Pretty sure I'm in jazz with her at Dreyfoos
You unironically have an insanely talented middle school band
they were really impressive for, what? 12-14 year olds?
They sound almost as good as my highschool band, mega props to this Jazz Band!
@@KarateLaurenprolly some 11 too
ah yes, middle school. The awkwardness and timidness of this piece perfectly demonstrate how everyone is during that short period of their lives
Megalovania is not supposed to be timid
Is that why the audience chairs are all turned away from them?
@@KairuHakubi The people in the chairs are the concert band students. In most bands programs, both concerts are together so the kids that also do jazz just move to the other set-up, then they move back later. The actual audience is in the bleachers:)
@@phiona3880 Ohhh okay. that makes sense.
I will never get over the fact that an official Hal Leonard arrangement of this track exists.
I lost my mind when it got uploaded lmao
Even though he played it off as something only the kids would like, the parents probably loved it
The fact that most of these kids are in middle school is even more impressive. We don’t have enough people in our jazz band, I’m one of only two trombone players :/
my jazz band has none
My middle school jazz band had 5 people
there's only 2 trombones in mine as well lol
my middle school didn't even have these types of groups
i play flute and my flute has a leak so I may change instruments because it isnt repairable. lol i am considering trombone in fact
This is how you know that Undertale had an unimaginably large impact on humanity.
There is no logical reason for this to be so good. Props to that teacher for how good he is at teaching them.
you know that the kids are really good when the conductor does not even need to wave his hands to every beat
It's actually quite easy to play even if the conductor isn't showing every beat. Many conductors actually only show the first beat of each bar and most of the kids weren't looking anyways.
Its also pretty common for jazz bands to not have the conductor conduct, its more of a jazz thing because jazz doesnt have as hard set rules as other music
The only thing remotely bad about this was that the saxes could be playing out more. Or at least heard better. Honestly that’s all, it was really good other than that.
As a saxophone player I can tell you, never tell a saxophone to be louder, you will regret it
Joey Nista I mean I played alto sax for 4 years trust me I know
😂
Yea, my band director is always telling me to play less.
yeah seriously, these kids are actually really good for their age
This is what school concerts should be like. It'd be way more engaging and more fun that way.
"I guess you guys aren't ready for that yet, but your kids are gonna love it"
My middle school did this as well, I was a flute player. There were three of us and we did almost nothing besides a part near the end, I was so sad.
I heard a band kid that plays the clarinet on my bus say that they call the clarinet and flute a sadness stick since you can't hear them much when they play because of the brass and percussion kids.

@@macaronandcheese18113 Yes lol
I guess now it can be considered a pretty "holy song", guess they oredicted the future. (The pope has had it played for him)
I'm sure if Toby saw this he would be proud, his music will inspire for generations to come!
Dang. I was expecting it to be slowed WAY down, but the kids took it at a pretty darn good pace. I'm very much impressed (especially by the trombones, as an ex-trombonist). Some of my favorite memories in band were from jazz band. I loved this from start to finish.

Mine has 7….
bruh, im the only brass player in mine.
Mine has 48 people 💀
The jazz band I have in my school is ok with the amount of wind instruments, but we have like 7 qualified people for percussion ;-;

Hearing this arrangement live is so good, holy hell. This is a perfect arrangement.
I so thought this was gonna be another “when your the only one in band that practices” video but these kids did super well!
Ngl the drums really carry the music

Touché
Eh, I have some trum-PETS that would like the trom-BONE you’re offering!
Sans... it's you?
This is too good for a middle school band
LOL for reals
I think it even beats the professionals to some extent
Also they most certainly did NOT have a bad time learning this!
imagine walking into the room and hearing that, i'd honestly be agape
Kudos to the kids, they killed it!!!
you know what, at least they're having fun.
Doesn't sound half bad either.
you wanna have a jazz time?
you bet you do
This is legit fire, They seem very organized. I've never seen a middle school ensemble play THIS good. Good job and props to them.
*when you wanna have a bad time but your having an amazing time.*
even after a year the creator is still hearting comments. B)
Great arrangement! There must have gone a lot of effort into this. Great job

First there was Still Alive from Portal, now it's Megalovania from Undertale.
Game music sure is a charming, fascinating music genre.
Ah yes, everyone's favorite Christmas Song. Such a classic song it is!
Hell yea hit that shit trombones🔥🔥
This was better than expected really good for a middle school jazz band
This sounds great! The band director is awesome for letting them play this.
I tried this with my band, my teacher doesn't want our band playing pumped up kicks though.
I wish I was there on the keyboard
As someone who also played this in middle school, the drummer was rushing a bit. But other than the rushing it was a solid performance
I guess you could say that your gonna have a "jazz" time ayyy
Ayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.
AYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
Ayyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Ayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
@Kaigert Entertainment OK party pooper
You're gonna have a band time.
This sounds like it would be the opening to Incredibles 3
Props to the teacher for not only teaching them Megalovania, but doing it so well that they sound almost professional

He is my band teacher right now, I cant believe I found this video
I expected maybe a slower tempo rendition with a bit of swing, but man they just went for it. Major props
They're better than my concert band was in high school. That's amazing how well they're doing.
Would not expect this from a middle school band. That’s better than a good chunk of high school bands. That’s really good.
I played this same arrangement in my middle school jazz band :D I even played the solo but got lost in the middle so improvised as well as a 7th grader could
This teacher sounds like a rad dude
this is actually so well done im impressed that middle schoolers were able to pull something like this off. this is definitely one of my favorite covers of all time
Awesome stuff. Not perfect, but also middle school so I'm impressed. Hope these kids got to enjoy themselves for once

Kid On Left w/ Big Guitar on Lap: *Literally Facepalms for 3 minutes*

The basses/ low brass sounded great!
i’m sad so many people won’t understand how incredible undertale is
I was jamming all night long.
These middle schoolers are playing better than some seniors in my high school…bruh

This is a genuinely smooth group for middle school.
This is actually really good i want it on Spotify
You guys playing was FINtastic!!!!!
SHUT UP, UNDYNE
Percussionist was beasting it this whole performance
ayy that was me haha
the trombone army in the back though being in jazz band and in 6th grade this is a masterpice
This is incredible!!
they do know about determination
how i would kill to have this experience in middle school
this is so good i mean im suprised the band director would let them play this i like this style
Damn they actually pretty good , better than me
Really good sounding MS jazz band! Also, we can hear the bari sax for once!
the song was a banger but my favorite part of this experience was scrolling down to see the immaculate profile picture for this channel
this jazz band is almost as big as our normal concert band at school...... In 8th grade
Wow! (I was lead Trumpet) fun times. So happy that someone recorded this lol.

Imagine stealing someone else’s comment? Lol jk
The kid on the piano was sitting WAYY too low
They just did the epic mix of megalovania but irl
*You watch this video as you smile at sans hearing his music*
*You're filled with, DETERMINATION*
😭😭😭 I wish I was at your school, then my friend and me would have love this.
I love everything about this.
Unironically goes hard
My band class would be too chaotic to play this
the fact that undertale grew so much in popularity that a middle school jazz band played it is still insane to me. (in a good way)
This sounds even harder than the songs in my high school’s jazz band
Toby Fox and Paul Murtha are so proud right now
Shared this to my friend. Then he emailed this to my school's band director.
Guess what we are playing now
