I saw 'LHS'. I thought it was my high school. Clicked. Wasn't my high school. Still awesome. Inspires me to try and get my high school band to play this.
This is so great... I absolutely love to see not only the Homestuck music team but also the students' interests getting so much recognition! So much of the music from Homestuck is amazing, and I can't even tell you how often I've imagined how cool it would be if our choir somehow managed choral versions of some of the songs. The fact that this actually HAPPENED with HIGH SCHOOL MUSICIANS is amazing! School music departments should be this interactive and satisfying. So cool.
Hah, no we did not take credit. I saw the arrangement on the forums, saw that we have exact instrumentation for it and leaped on the idea of doing it. We actually did have a recording we did of this in rehearsal that was 4:13 a few of us that read it lost it. The xylo players were requested to have harder mallets actually. It really is like 90% the video quality, they didn't actually cover us up at all. The mix was rather good. We had some better rehearsals but are proud of how it ended up!
It was definitely off at parts ^^ but all together a pretty great arrangement. And it's freakin AWESOME that you guys did this OuO ima try to get my band director to let us do this!!
I freaked out when I read the title, then I realized my high school (Lakeside High School) doesn't have a percussion ensemble... xD OH DARN. But still. THIS IS BEAUTIFUL.
Oh this is great news. Granted, the controlling of the melody could've been better, but this means there will be more orchestra renditions of homestuck music in the future. OH MY FEEELS.
@Dageoffant02 Yeah, a piece like this requires virtual perfection from all of the performers. On the other hand, I can understand why it would be so difficult, especially for high school students. It's a pretty fast piece, even when slowed down, and not an easy task.
These kids are so fucking lucky. I asked my band director if we could play it for our percussion showcase and he said it was too hard =___= like seriously, what the fuck? I want to do a Homestuck themed marching show. I'd use Sbruban Jungle, Sunslammer, Cascade, and Black Rose/Green Sun
I'm trying to think of tracks that would be best suited for high school performances... a lot of them are synth heavy. ... Maybe Rex Duodecium Angelus could be arranged for orchestra? You'd have to figure out what to do about Gamzee's section, the fact that it's in a 'mocking' instrument is important to the feel of the piece (though you could get away with shifting it to something more available than carefully tuned clown horns certainly)
@Gadoink1 It's a performance by a high school band, you can't expect professional quality from them; the only problem I see here is that they are out of sync with one another to a degree, but really, it's still pretty good.
@Hammm99 about 80% is vid quality man. for a high school, they aint bad honestly. also, with 4 melody/counter melody harmony parts, it is incredibly difficult to achieve this capability.
@1drummergirl97 Really he said its too hard??? My school is playing this even though our percussion ensemble kinda sux :/ It's pretty fun practicing it though, we haven't performed yet.
I suppose anonymity empowered you to belittle my lack of knowledge. I'm a parent who posted this based on the information provided to me by my student's music program. Nothing more, nothing less. Like many who've posted here, I'd never heard this particular group/song prior to the performance. Your statement without the GEEZ would not have offended me; rather, it would have educated me. The GEEZ was unnecessary & unkind. Please think of how your comment may be perceived before you post. Thanks.
I saw the title, and though my highschool,( Largo high school) Might have done this.... we have a percussion ensemble...... but damn.... we aren't that cool....

this was posted on my birthday. and i am a marimba player. and i love homestuck. THIS IS THE BEST THING EVER!!
... i wish my school was this cool!
i was thinking of asking my band teacher about this! it's a wonderful idea.
I feel like I will die from happiness. If my schools band or choir ever decide to do a song from homestuck, I would be.....beyond happiness
I WANT MY BAND DIRECTOR TO TEACH US SUBURBAN JUNGLE!!!!
Why wasn't my high school this awesome?!
oh man it's winter season and i find this, now i want our winter percussion to do a homestuck show
THIS IS AMAZING
homestuck is taking over the world

Yeah, like 8yhehehe said, it's in Colorado. Littleton, Colorado. This is my high school band. :)
Gonna get some competition coming up!
I got my band director to let us do this for our concert.
You guys rock. I wish I could get my school my school to do this but some kid suggested WOW first. -_-
I probably would have pee'd my pants if I were in that audience. Out of love. SO MUCH LOVE.
This is really awesome! How'd they ever get to do such an obscure and epic song?
I wanna see more homestuck in school! I only know one otherperson who loves homestuck, and we never even talk! :(
i would now like to attend this high school
oh my god... can i just like, hug whoever decided for it to be this the song they play.
Forever love. FOREVER.

We had some better rehearsals but are proud of how it ended up!
If only the performance values were better. The idea is supremely fucking awesome. The fact that you thought of this makes me love you.
WHAT. WHAT... WHY HAS THIS NOT HAPENNED IN OUR SCHOOL YET. THIS ATROCITY SHALL NOT GO UNPUNISHED. >:]
If they can play that, then they have all the talent. ALL OF IT.
YES GOOD
VERY GOOD
......................
WHERE IS THE MUSIC FOR THIS
I SHALL EMAIL MY BAND DIRECTOR THIS NOW
NOW
Wish my school's marching band would do this
Yeah, this is about the coolest thing ever.
BRAVO!
all I'd heard about this was how "imperfect" it was but i think that was still actually really impressive, really enjoyed listening to it.
Okay, I love you band teacher
I MUST MOVE TO THIS PLACE
They actually played this at a school. I can't believe my eyes.
Coolest high school band ever, am I right?
If my band played Homestuck songs, I would go to every one of their concerts. (I may even consider joining the program again...)
It was definitely off at parts ^^ but all together a pretty great arrangement. And it's freakin AWESOME that you guys did this OuO ima try to get my band director to let us do this!!
ASDFFFFJVVVVVVV I FEEL LIKE I DIED, SKIPPED HEAVEN, AND ENDED UP ON SKAIA HNNNNNNNNNNG
my god. i love homestuck music.
@GreenkirbyJapan yeah ill tell my mom to record it when we perform. we barely started learning it though so it will be a while.
I freaked out when I read the title, then I realized my high school (Lakeside High School) doesn't have a percussion ensemble... xD OH DARN.
But still. THIS IS BEAUTIFUL.
instant fave, yo.
Oh this is great news. Granted, the controlling of the melody could've been better, but this means there will be more orchestra renditions of homestuck music in the future. OH MY FEEELS.
GOOD TEACHER BEST DIRECTOR
I WANT TO GO TO THAT SCHOOL BAWWWW
whoa, this is cool!
sweet.
@thatweirdkid1997 - It's Littleton High School
whoever hates homestuck is a..
S u c k e r .
Oh wow, I wish my school's percussion ensemble would do this...
THATS IT IM GETTING MY SCHOOL TO DO THIS
I WAS JUST ON SKAIA THAT WAS AMAZING HNGGGGHHHH
@TenorfreaK0 Michael Bowman made the song for Andrew Hussie to include in his webcomic.
Some other guy arranged the percussion ensemble.
AH-MAZING
@Dageoffant02 Yeah, a piece like this requires virtual perfection from all of the performers.

@PercussionLez post it on youtube I wanna see it :D
fuck man, I had this idea like a year ago
Yes. Good.
Thank you, random citizen.

So that's why they sweeped the TSA comp.
Haha, this is how you convert school kids to Homestuck! For my orchestra I made copies of Sarabande as a quintet. uwu
I wish my school would perform Homestuck music.. ;u;
It does, I just really wanted to do Homestuck. Maybe next year.
aw... i thought it was a local school o' mine
YES.GOOD.
isnt homestuck a song made my andrew hussie and michael bowman arranged this percussion ensemble for it?
well, it's time to transfer schools and give band a shot
I can hear one mallet player has the running line down pretty well, the tempos are a little varied. But overall, NICE WORK!
Can we get a story behind this? Please?
@missmcbeth420 Do you have a link to this arrangement? I have a friend who would love to have this sheet music for the percussion section of the band!
DAMN
OMG YES
Dunkass.. shit, first time I've ever heard that.
Colorado I'm pretty sure.
Why they no start piano? I promise there is more than one dynamic.
@Gadoink1 It's a performance by a high school band, you can't expect professional quality from them; the only problem I see here is that they are out of sync with one another to a degree, but really, it's still pretty good.
@Hammm99 about 80% is vid quality man. for a high school, they aint bad honestly. also, with 4 melody/counter melody harmony parts, it is incredibly difficult to achieve this capability.
@vampirefreak127 I also play French horn, and I will ask my Band Director!
@Hammm99 Yeah. A for effort, but a D {at best} for performance.
@thatweirdkid1997 Oh dude I thought it was Lakeland too I almost flipped my shit like WHERE WAS I WHEN THIS HAPPENED?
@Coraliepengy
Sweet mother of God...
SOBBU
WHY CANT MY SCHOOL DO THIS
@TenorfreaK0 You need to visit some high schools with good percussion programs then.
@1drummergirl97 Really he said its too hard??? My school is playing this even though our percussion ensemble kinda sux :/ It's pretty fun practicing it though, we haven't performed yet.
instant fave, yo.
...but then it got to like 0:18, and I was like, "uh...".
Although it seems like it got better towards the end, but I agree that it was far from perfect.
DAMN
A little messy in some places, but all around, AWSOME!!!
LAKELAND??? OR SOMTHING ELSE?

WHY WAS MY HS NOT THIS COOL?
EPIC, and you, down there V it's not clean because its all percussion.
I saw the title, and though my highschool,( Largo high school) Might have done this.... we have a percussion ensemble...... but damn.... we aren't that cool....
What state is this in?
this... must... e-mail... band director...
@mountfraught oh hey, here's an ensemble online that matches our instrumentation. can we do it?
yeah ok
and then it happened
@ttfn999w yea i read the description
A bit too "busy" sounding, but good.
Really, pretty much anything relating to Homestuck has to turn out awesome.
why doesnt my school do this?!
oh yeah. because there are 3 homestucks there. -____-
