"Fanfare and Recessional" - James Ployhar

This is the version I played back in high school. I didn't see any "true" recordings on UA-cam, so I went ahead and transcribed the score into Finale and rendered a recording. This is done with the NotePerformer sound font. This version is arranged for Wind Band. I do not own the sheet music.

This hits different when you have to play it like 20 times at graduation 😭😭😭😭

[@reedconneen765]

fire song lowkey

[@deedee33555]

idk but this was so much better than the regular songs we play at graduation

[@ayasayu2135]

So true

[@KermitEFrog-nv7dv]

always enjoyed playing this way more than the processional, especially because we usually had a fairly brisk tempo

[@ericdonaldson5982]

My old band director called this along “March of the One-Legged Dwarves.” Still makes me laugh to this day.

1st trombone part made my mouth bleed this year👍

[@davidgaming0728]

Second trombone here and I just out of band class and my lips are in so much pain

[@blakequal3372]

My nose started to bleed today because of this song

[@James2210]

ikr

[@thejabberwocky5884]

Same bro

[@Waluigi_lover24680]

And when you have to play first trombone with braces, my mouth will really start to bleed, how fun 😁

[@pegdragoondragoon5752]

I love this song I play saxophone and this is the version we play at grad.❤

[@KobiMusic-Software]

i like how the sheet music on the screen isn't even close to whats being played

[@thejabberwocky5884]

Graduation moment

[@courterjunk]

Did this did my graduation from HS (not from college or grad school though). Sheets seemed like a fitting way to leave triumphantly.

[@alejandrafranco6584]

Measure 3 was a favorite where the fanfare happens

[@mikepackard8601]

Thank you!

[@hidude5620]

is it just me or is this song kind of eerie

[@numbers4851]

I wouldn’t say eerie, but it has some interesting chords.

[@goodsprings5271]

Thank you bruh

[@featuringsasha]

i listen to this like in my playlst

[@Bruhbruh-on3ms]

Have to play recessional as 4 other brass instruments cause we’re low on instruments. Pray for me brothas 😭

[@Xman34washere]

Hey at least it's not 28 minutes

[@applehead9239]

I genuinely prefer playing processional

[@MinerGT]

bro I will forever rather play recessional than play professional 70 times 😭

[@yaboicatman4611]

Im playing first trumpet this year for the songs and I would definitely prefer playing processional cause it doesn’t completely kill my chops

[@fffbf6r837]

Processional is shit because the trombones only have quarter notes

[@That_one_idiot_over_there]

I feel that... It starts the get hard to keep track of where you are, cause there's choose to no variation... I'm gonna absolutely die tomorrow at graduation
