  • Take to the skies again in this "relaunch" of Randall Standridge's work Afterburn. Rescored, revoiced, and with new harmonic and countermelodic gestures, this new edition maintains the energy and fun of the original while creating more engaging moments for ALL musicians. We hope you enjoy this reimagining of a well-loved piece for band!

    We played the original version of Afterburn in my band two years ago now. I liked how the song sounded but most of the Clarinet section didn't like to play it. Seeing the tweaked version brought back some really fond memories around that concert. I think we also played Darklands March, which is still in my top three favorite pieces. My first year of band I almost quit, because I didn't like how much time I had to put into practicing and playing in order to get better. Then I saw one of your posts about how far staying in music has carried you. Now, I've been first chair, our band won a superior rating at a festival a few months ago, and I'm going into high school as the only Clarinet in the higher band.

      We played it in Band Camp a few years before, and I loved it so much! Sadly a few years later COVID came, and then highschool and I didn't persue band any further, but I really miss it sometimes!

      Playing the same song and im a clarinet player I can agree my ssection didn't like it cuse the parts are the same 90% of the song and that's boards us and it's tedious overall . We are playing this song for our spring concert.

    My kid had to learn this piece in under 2.5 days during a bad workshop for primary school seniors and it came out amazing. Really impressive and sticks with you.

    My favorite thing about this song is that recurring rhythm the Alto Saxes and the French Horns have. Sounds really good!

    I played this piece in SEVENTH GRADE a few days ago at our concert and even WE didn't go this fast - I can't imagine kids FIVE YEARS YOUNGER THAN ME doing this... WOW!!
    Edit: I feel so stupid but in my defense I was never taught that it was a difficulty. 😃👍

    • @lander90

      It doesn't mean second grade in terms of 1-12. 2nd grade is a difficulty rating for music

      Thanks for clearing that up. My music teacher doesn't talk about that stuff. She never even told me the timpani is also known as the kettle drum. Sorry for the misunderstanding. I was just never taught that. 😅

      Grade 2 is the song rating, which is 6-8 grade. I am in seventh too and we are playing it in the honor band that I made, I’m first chair.
