My teacher handed this out yesterday, and I leaned over to my friend and said,"This is my favorite composer. Well, del Borgo, Howard Shore and John Williams are tied for first, with Edvard Grieg coming in as a close second." I am a true band geek.
never heard the song and it is cool i can hear the bass clarinets the flutes (for once let me tell ya) and it sounds awesome and intense for anybody who played this in ratings or just at school tell me how good u guys were this is a good peice
This Piece is a star for the Brass (mainly french horns), great precussion part (mallets), flutes and clarinets are beautiful, saxaphones sound stunning, baritone was steady, and snares great articulation. Over all an amazing piece. Truly Maestoso or Magestically! I play saxaphone brass clarinet precussion and I am the conductor so I appreciate this very much we shall play it this semester if it is the last thing I do!!
I played at the beginning of my seventh grade this year and now my band is playing The Irish washer women which makes this piece look like a grade -5 :)
Thanks for posting this. I'll have my 8th grade band listen to it. (Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe this is the demo recording from the publisher and/or a performance by a college/university band. I don't know many young bands with exceptionally mature tone quality in every section.)
im in jazz band. my insturment, viola. im the only jazz violist in the district. were playing this song right now and i usualy play the oboe part because we dont have one. but out teacher really needed a timpani player so i got the job :)
Woohoo!!!!!!!!!! GO FRENCH HORNS!!!!!!!!!!! GONNA PLAY THIS SONG AT DISNEY IN APRIL WITH THE HAMPTON COVE MIDDLE SCHOOL BAND!!!!!!!!! GO BULLS!!!!! WE GONNA KICK SOME ASS
to all percussionists who have this. i feel ur pain. this was a bich last year. claves, tom tom, snare, cowbell, bass drum, cymbal, timpani bongos. this aint easy. this aint even hard. this is just, just insane
my concert band is gonna play this song for my school on tuesday 2nd period 6th graders then 3rd period 7th graders then on wensday were going 2 uil at soccoro high school i play percussion and they forgot the toms part
I'm playing this song and it was really hard at first but now....its kinda easy. Except for the 16th notes at the endish, it goes really fast. I play 1st part clarinet
Though I play the trumpet, I must admit the flutes sound pretty good. Go trumpets!
Nah it’s the low brass and low wood winds
Yo I'm using this to play along to practice cause I'm the only first trumpet in my band. Btw I'm just in concert band and we only have three trumpets.
All instruments are amazing I’m a trumpet player too and I love the trumpet but I know the flutes had the hardest part
You know with this song being called Flight of Eagles you would think it would be woodwind heaven but it highlights brass so much more.
I played 2nd flute in 6th grade back in 1994. So many memories. Truly a great piece!!
theres no other words... it was simply magnificent!!!!!!!!
I play the first flute part and my fingers just have memory of what I play, even I my mind doesn't process it haha! I loooove this song so much!
One of the best concert band song I've ever played in my freshman year.
I played this at my school, it was fun as hell. Go percussionists!
Play 1st flute on this song it's intense! #flute
Breanna Valles try being the only first flute cause there were only three flute players lol. (me like three years ago)
They couldn’t afford the bumblebees
I loved this song when we played it in 1994 in band!
Played this in 7th grade on the trumpet... brings back memories
1st clarinet, love this piece! ❤️

LOVE this song..! Played this song on flute in my sophomore or junior year of high school
My band plays this song extremely well. I play bass drum and claves. It's fun. I like rolling the bass in the beginning.
Jamenuses - Mobile Gaming definitely my favourite part. it was super fun

My teacher handed this out yesterday, and I leaned over to my friend and said,"This is my favorite composer. Well, del Borgo, Howard Shore and John Williams are tied for first, with Edvard Grieg coming in as a close second."

The Flutes are absolutely amazing in this piece... and trombones (I played trombone so I have to compliment my section)
