My middle school band played Escape from the Deep by Brian Balmages. I loved it so much I went looking for more songs composed by him. Came across Moscow, 1941. Then, Into the Arctic. But now, I've finally discovered Balmages's greatest piece: this.
When the clarinets play the main riff, its fantastic, but when the trumpets are about to come in with it, the orchestras like, ITS ABOUT TO GET DOWN,. great song, mad respect for the writer.
As a trombone player I indeed think it is biased to say the trombone part is the best but good god! It feels good to just blast out the music like a war horn!
Oh that last note missing is EXTREMELY noticeable. I was wondering what everyone was talking about. It sounds like the song just got cut off. On the bright side, this sounds like it'd be really good for looping.
I was searching Brian Balmages because we’ve played a couple of his pieces, and I played this in middle school honor band last year without even realizing it was by him. It was my favorite piece of the show.
Natassha Coronel trumpet players everywhere seem to be absolutely mental I would hope your not but I doubt it pleas be nice to the normal person in the section
Y’all this is a piece of music that has never before felt so rewarding. We got a new band director my 6th grade year, straight out of college. Y’all by my 7th grade year a BRAND NEW BEGINNING BAND went to CPA and played this piece (and a few more) and we beat everyone there. We went a music festival in Tennessee (which is out of state for us) and we beat 6 high school bands. We placed first out of everyone. Y’all when our band got on the bus with the trophy I never felt so happy in my life, and I struggled the most with this piece. And it turned out to be my favorite. But I thought that we would never learn another piece of music that year bc of how many times we played the same section over and over and over and over. And this was our strongest piece, just listening to this I don’t even have to look at it, we played it so much I can’t visualize the piece of paper in my head. Least to say is this piece of music will always have a special place in my heart❤
So where are the fellow oboist Also my band class is gonna be playing this for something Idk what we will be playing for with covid and everything but we’re still learning it and we all love the fluffing heck out of this song.
We don’t have anyone assigned piano and I’m a percussionist. I got assigned the bells part that does literally nothing so I’m ditching percussion for this song to play piano.
Darn this was a fun piece but this year our main big song (this was last year's for the concert) is The Great Locomotive Chase so they're both really cool
Ethan Urias our band director said he wants 1st and 2nd chair trombone to play the solo and I’m 1st trombone and 2nd chair hasn’t been at school in a while so I’m screwed😬😑
I’m playing the bells in this song! It’s super fun! It’s not too hard, but I just have to get used to the notes. We just got this song yesterday and I love it sm. We were going to play colliding visions but we switched it with this song. I like my part in this song but I had a timpani part in colliding visions and that was a fun part (🥲) I think song sounds cooler though
Reply if you like the shhhh and shahhhhh 's. They are soooooo cool
+agfanamerica 177 I love them!
They're fun to do too
shhhhhhhhhhh... SHAHH
My whole class said Shaaa loud and it was so funny
Shhhhhhhhhhhhhh and shhhhhaaaaa am much cool
as a percussionist, the flute part was the absolute best. and the tom toms.
I got the honor of playing the toms. It was so cool.
@@LongLeggedCreaturesame

Escape from the deep gang
You gotta check out jungle dance
When the clarinets play the main riff, its fantastic, but when the trumpets are about to come in with it, the orchestras like, ITS ABOUT TO GET DOWN,. great song, mad respect for the writer.
Played this for all district band with Brian Balmages as our directer. He is a cool guy
What state? I might have been there.
What does he look like?
whatt that’s crazy
That is so crazy! You are so lucky!!
You are the luckiest person alive, my friend.
Our school band played this in front of Brian Balmages! AHHHHH, it was nerveracking! Alto, btw ;)
as a flute player i loved this piece so much the parts us flutes played was so fun to learn and it flowed so well
As a fellow flute player I agree with the comment above
snare was fun tho
Alto Sax parts slayed ✨-we weren't good at playin them tho-😭🎷🎷 only sometimes😂
Trombone and baritone was fun to play as well.
@@user-lw6nv2kp2k oh yeah when you guys had your solo then the saxes joined in
As a trombone player I indeed think it is biased to say the trombone part is the best but good god! It feels good to just blast out the music like a war horn!

@@brendonlundt6920 yeah, this song is amazing.

Oh that last note missing is EXTREMELY noticeable. I was wondering what everyone was talking about. It sounds like the song just got cut off. On the bright side, this sounds like it'd be really good for looping.
as a valid trumpet player, i can confirm. One of the best songs ive ever played
We played this for my school’s Fall Concert. I feel so proud I got to play this amazing piece!
We also did it for our fall concert this year. We got to do Curse of Tutankhamen as well, but nothing can beat this one.
The low brass absolutely carries this song
REAL(I played bass clarinet with the low brass)
We're playing this peice in band and we CANT GET THE DANG DANAMICS RIGHT!!!😂
