Pray for the flutes y’all
Amen girl 😂😂
trumpet
I think we’re all going through it together
Just pray for everyone
Amen 🙏🙏🙏
It is my tradition with my band to play this every year. As a band director, every single time I hear this piece, it almost brings tears to my eyes because of how beautiful this song was orchestrated
Pray for clarinets lmao, high notes are HARD TO MOVE AROUND WITH SMALL FINGERS
They really aren't hard😂
LiStEn BoY I have tiny fingers so they don’t cover the holes all they way😂
@@ciaracynthia i have tiny fingers too but it still works for me😂
Us flutes have high notes and when we dont point our mouths high enough we squeak so...
@@valerier3673 we squeak whenever we do something "wrong" all the time, so there's really no point in your comment...
Our trumpets are dying to hit that last note.
I played this it sounds amazing!
It might just be because I listen to the orchestral version too much but I feel that its a bit slow and could go faster but overall it is a wonderful arrangement (:
Playing tuba on this
Sees sharps
Whole Band: aight imma head out
They be like “aight imma ignore “
A# 😰
This comment is absolutely brilliant LOL
@@andrewpennell7920 when does "aight imma..." equal brilliance. Cavemen sound more sophisticated.
you thought that shit was funny?
When you can actually hear the flutes and they aren't drowned out by the strings.
Rip after :/
InkBlackShadow except there’s no strings
There's no strings in this particular arrangement. In surprised they're not drowned out by the brass.
Strings? What band has strings other than jazz?
TackyFlamingo 8528 particularly a mass band ensemble or some professional orchestra have woodwind and brass instruments added
No amount of words can describe how much this piece gives chills
Real
I get chills every single time at the part measure 70
Duh because it’s the POLAR express…
Pray for the clarinets too
As a sophomore in high school, who is playing first Clarinet for this song right now, I thank you for your prayers. I need them. Desperately.
I’m in seventh grade and we are playing this and I need prayers too😂
My director made us sight read today at tempo it was. Scary to say the least.
As a freshman 1st chair clarinet in high school thank you for the prayers
spvcekitt im also a sophomore in hs that plays clarinet and when i saw this piece i really wanted to play it but once i heard the clarinets i was like nahhh nvm
it would be fun if someone made a marching drill to this
French HornHomie We actually used this in our marching show this year
That's actually amazing
@Organic Gaming & Charles ey same and this is real fun
This man has the only good idea in the band section of UA-cam
NO STOP DON'T GIVE OUR BAND DIRECTORS ANY IDEAS PLEASE!!!!
Who ever played first trumpet they squeaked the high D at the end
Logan Hutchinson where?
I'm pretty sure this was made on a computer. If it was recorded then it would sound so much more choppy. Especially when they got loud.
Hitler The Stripper it’s not, you can here the piccolo go out of tune and the uneven vibrato.
At least they can get to a high D lol
Shoutout to 1st Trumpets, May the high E soar to the heavens
😥
The e is gonna be the death of me
@@ethanstevenson8173 what helped me is playing ungodly loud in a locker room and just going for it haha. Use good air my friend.
@@benson3955 thanks for the advice 😂
It’s basically our bands tradition to play this every year in our top band, takes a little bit for the first years of the band to learn but it’s so fun and always gives me chills.
Any tips for Flutes? lol
@@faultyrainbow4325 pray lmaoo
@faultyrainbow4325 Breathe lol. Also fast fingers 😂
#prayforeveryinstrument
Yo I played 1st Trumpet in this today and I almost overdosed on dopamine
I WANT TO PLAY THIS SO BADLY!!! TUBA SOUNDS SO GOOOOOOD!!!!!
only in the polar express part :/
Clorox Bleach this whole thing is polar express
The magic Pillow lmao no i mean the actual polar express song which is the 2nd one in this arr
Clorox Bleach lol ok
@@cruz.c wait... It's you again... Why are you talking about tubas, I play the tuba. The tubas are good though btw.
Very good arrangement! Playing it on our christmas concert this year :)
Any french horns?
Heck yeah
one of the most memorable snare parts I ever played. How could I forget being the polar express in the song polar express from the suite from the movie polar express?
We played this at my school, but I didn’t get to play because right as I went up on stage my Bari sax stopped working- that’s what I get for using school owned instruments :,)
The pain. This happened to me during Marching band instead tho. I was no longer able to play low B flat or Low A because my Bari Decided to get a random leak. (I ended up fixing it but now when I let go of the E flat key, the pad doesn’t open completely but It’s as good as it’s gonna get)
as a bari player thats finna play this tmr in my town's band,i fet physical pain but i very much relate to having a bari do this to me ;-;,happened during a solo on my sophmore which was last yr 🙃
5:13 I might be brass but I love hearing those 1st Flute high note runs.
i appreciate u
those aren't even just 1st flutes, but the best part is they're the easiest runs in the whole piece
Our flutes are doing incredible on this piece! It made me cry today when we were playing it. I play percussion and im on the hi hat during the polar express part
High D and High E am I right fellow First Trumpets?
Sigma Waffle ayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
😏
High D’s and High C’s not high E’s though
@@christiansaldivar8678 There's a High E in there.
Sigma Waffle 🤪🎺🤙🏼
we learned this today. concert tomorrow. pray for us. pray for my lips. they are numb.
how did it go?
1 day learning? how was it??
Ohh yess the flute oboe and bassoon 2:30 ♥︎♥︎♥︎
(I think that’s what I’m hearing lol)
I hear the bassoon too
Played this song in a concert 2 separate times and like I think the BASS CLARINET'S are under rated.
They always are!!!!!!!! I play Bass Clarinet, and I can totally attest to that! They underestimate us hahaha
@@michaelkemenes6496
Yes! I totally agree! I am a bass clarinet too!
As a bassoonist and euphonium player, I love bc, when I’m playing bassoon I sit next to bass clarinet, they sound so good you guys Rock
Its been years but I love this song on the bass clarinet
yeas I play bassoon and alto sax and my next instrument I hope to pick up is the bass clarinet because it sounds so cool
This movie has a special place in my heart and I am very glad I was able to play this piece in my school wind band.
I grow up watching the movie
I remember playing this back in 9th Grade Concert Band. That was my Band Teachers (an alumni from the school) first year teaching. We only had 27 musicals in 9th Grade Concert Band that year. I was one of only four trumpets. I remember playing the second trumpet part. And now I’m going to graduate school to become a music teacher.
Awesome job man
@@b4nks179 Thanks
The beginning is my favorite.
Octave jumping triplets at 170bpm? Oh yeah, we can do that, totally.....
my band is playing this tomorrow
I played this piece years ago and it’s still my favorite. Really hard but so beautiful! Bassoon player✨
First piece I’ve played in a hot minute that has a real bassoon part
I played alto clarinet on this one. Props to the arranger for using the alto clarinet in such a relatively recent piece.
so, I have to listen to this so I know the piece for practice( I play clarinet), gonna be interesting to see how this pairs with Quake 3
We tried to play this in our winter concert last year and couldn’t get it together in time so we’re just trying it again this year, lmao. It’s sounding much better the second time around, and it’s soooo much fun to play. I was heartbroken when it got cut last year so I’m glad I could convince our director to give it another shot!
I both really want to play this because MY GOSH IT'S GORGEOUS but also really don't cause I play flute/piccolo. do I really need to elaborate?
No way a piece in G major I would’ve never thought I’d see the day
Right? It's the first piece I've played in G major.
I'm a flute...this song is absolute hell...ive only been playing for 2.5 years, its practically impossible on some parts😅
oh lordy, I've been at it for six years and I STILL struggle
I've been playing for 1.5 years and I'm trying to learn this 😢 my 7th grade band isn't playing it tho.
The Donuts, The Donuts 4:11
Flutes are almost always heard in concert season, I'm so happy
My family: you did so go I love the songs
Me: I’m not talking my lips are numb
青春時代を思い出す
0:58 this melody style is so common in some of my favorite pieces. Space ship earth, Mr Magoriumns Magic Emporium,
y’all I’m a flute but in my music measure 97 is transposed to f# major?? 6 sharps I don’t think I-
thats the concert band version... go for this one ua-cam.com/video/oaMFCpg0YQk/v-deo.html
Euphonium is usually not fun and you barely get any good parts. This piece is so fun to play that I got excited every time doing the runs around the end. So sick!
Check out Rapture by Brian Balmages and Arabian Dances by Brian Balmages.
My band is playing this for our Christmas concert. It’s very difficult for me, a freshman
Brooke Himes It’s difficult for anyone. One of the hardest I’ve played, but I think it’s fun. You’ll get it eventually. And when you do, you’ll enjoy it. I play the 1st alto sax part, and I like when Christmas comes to town best.
Same situation. Freshmen trombone playing this lol
Freshmen first euphonium playing this... This is an intense transition from easy AF middle school music
Same actually, my tiny fingers and chops can’t survive the runs at 35-43
Haha I have to play the whole percussion two part because there isn't enough percussionists and it's one of the hardest things I've done XD
This is so majestic :O
2:30 best part no 🧢
My director changed the fast 16th notes in the main theme to trills on the first note of each group so make it easier
we’re playing this at our christmas band concert and i’m playing the piano part!!
😭For us who play the flute is stressing 🥲
As a 2nd flute playing this, I'm dead 💀
#prayforfirstclarinets
Thank y'all for the prayers #grateful1stchair
My band just had to play this and my fingers were moving as fast as they possibly could on my clarinet when we got to the fast part. So many accidentals 😭
I remember playing synth/piano on this lmao the beginning was fun
I hate how these videos don't tell you the name of the band playing.
1:20 haha...rip😂
Especially for tuba....
How am i supposed to move my tiny hands fast enough to play Cabasa
Nothing of this can beat our jazz ensemble absolutely SMASHING Hot Chocolate. YES
i remember we played this around christmas when i was a freshman and i loved it. (even though i was last chair flute and still didn’t know what i was doing after 4 years. 6th grade to 9th) this will always be my favorite.
Pike High School Marching Red Devils
Playing picc on this, wish me luck
I don't know how this is only a grade 4. I only know difficulty for trumpet and at the end, even without the optional notes, ending on a high D is hard. Even the rest, it's probably harder than all of the grade 4 songs I played in high school
starting to miss 8th grade now...
Same :(
Pray for them horn players!
I'm 3rd trombone and omg I just got this today
Are you in the Branson band?
@@bellasewell0 no I'm in ferris Honor band
Trombone squad! First trombone
You know it
I play trombone too
UHG THE MEMORIES
When I did this in high school the flutes kept playing those triplet octave jumps so damn loud it actually overpowered everything. A bit of bad orchestration on the arrangers part since this appears to be a common problem.
Yayyy I got 1st trumpet in this
This song is so fun to play!! Ever since I found the soundtrack of The Polar Express (I haven't watched it btw), I fell in love with it, it just gave me lots of nostalgias, idk why, but the music is so GOOD.
You should, its one of my favorites
I played clarinet on this once!
we're going to play it this Christmas !
Nichaphat Nink Yee same:')
Same
Horn ❤️
My band is playing this for our winter concert and I'm pretty excited
When percussion isn’t blasting and you can hear the rest perfectly as well as the flutes who are always quiet
this comment section is bORiNg lets make it exciting
yes ma'am
😂
...do i know you?
BurntWaffles *YES*
damn that went dark
Tubas in the train spot.
cmon its only G Major
Any oboes?
Yes. Two.
hey
I played piccolo on this and I wanted to remove my ears
Playing this song this year its a lot of fun
Give prayers to the flutes 😭
We played this about 5 years ago. We should be due to play it again. Not this year, but hopefully soon.
Believe- 0:01
The Polar Express- 1:19
When Christmas Comes to Town- 2:22
Spirit of the Season- 4:12
This would be a cool song to play my senior year
I better be doing concert band in 9th grade because if so we better play this
I can hear and feel those trumpets struggling with the high D at particular points in the song. That hits me where it hurts bro.
wind ensemble is playing this for our band’s upcoming Christmas concert and in im the band below them, symphonic winds, and im so jealous i wanna play this so bad. They always sound so pretty when i hear them practicing. 😭
Trombone 1! Trombonists finally get some recognition!
Fr man. That G on the 16th notes are a pain in the butt...
jiffany is adorable. and johnny better respond to her GODDAMN TEXTS JOHNNY
We were gonna play this this year, but we got a different version cause this one was too long
Believe 0:00
The Polar Express 1:19
When Christmas Comes To Town 2:21
Spirit of the Season 4:11
ah i love this piece, we had to play it this year and every time i hear it i want to cry because it sounds so pretty
My fav Christmas arrangement and my trumpets
Trombones?
Anybody playing any instrument in the percussion 2 part?
Playing this. It is extraordinarily difficult. But also fun
Imagine how fast you have to tap your foot for this 💀✋
This oboe part is wild
