You know how there's ComicCon....well there should be a BandCon where band kids and adults could listen to concert music, talk about band, meet other kids who play the same instrument, play together, or somethin like that.....idk it was just a thought
After listening there's one thing I want to know.. Did ANYBODY in "high school" or a lower grade ever play this with their class? *And it still sounded the same!!!*
I did in middle school! I played 1st baritone on this, even tho I'm about to be a freshman in high school, also we played this in 8th grade Ahh, good ol' 8th grade times
My middle school band (8th grade that year) was supposed to perform this but so few people in the band were interested that the director “let” us play an easier piece that we’d already been performing for the entire school year instead. It’s been over a decade now and I’m still not over it.
My schools band played this when younger kids from other schools visited to see ours, and everyone was so hyped up especially during the building up parts
This was one of the first pieces I remember playing on the contralto clarinet, on loan to me from the high school (I was in 8th grade). It was probably my best memory - the start to learning a range of different instruments. Good times.
this sounds absolutely amazing. I'm so glad someone at school introduced me to this beautiful piece of art. Amazing 10/10. my favorite part is probably the shaker part or the part when it goes quiet and then gets loud. I love it
I played tuba for this piece in 7th grade and you really have to pay attention to dynamics and the. I played trumpet for it in 8th for honors band and I noticed it sounded like a piece for a spy movie
The percussion in this piece is amazing. I know because I actually am a percussionist if you believe it xD But anyway, I know the mallets parts are pretty complicated because that's what I play and you have to look at the music while playing the mallets so it's sorta confusing. The drum parts are essential in this piece.
KittyKat 7249 My high school orchestra is playing this for our spring concert. We're only getting 3 weeks (which is only 3 rehearsals) to prepare this and two other songs.
i played this in 7th (??) and i’m in 11th now and it’s so fun to look back on pieces i thought were hard LMAO , time skip to now level 6 solos 😭 i’m a flute and i’m currently playing the swiss Shepard hAhAhA my fingers are broken
Because the younger when this very *_complicated_* piece, mind you, is played, it's more of an achievement. High schoolers can play this easy, but for middle schoolers, it's more rewarding to tackle something like this and execute it beautifully than something like Anasazi or Up on the Housetop. Songs like Rites of Tamburo and Trepak (very fun piece to play for Christmas times, especially when played as a final wrap up after Waltz of the Flowers and the Nutcracker March. Hall of the Mountain King is certainly a tough piece, but also Sarabande--more of a solo act though, but just as rewarding). Only non-band members do not understand the feeling of the glory.
We just got this piece for high school symphonic band today, kinda getting worried seeing nothing but middle schoolers commenting here. Probably gonna be too easy
Just saying, this song was taken from J.W. Pepper. This is a symphony playing it. I love this song! I'm playing it next year! Can't wait!! I saw my school do a preformence on this, but it was the band that was in the grade above me.
I performed this piece this morning, and it sounded very similar to this arrangement. I was in the horn section - I love playing the opening, but it took us ages to get it because we kept laughing whenever we heard the rest of the orchestra doing the sound effects! Just goes to show what fun you can have with a piece of music :)
We almost performed this in Spring of 2020, but then COVID came along, and the concert was cancelled. Fortunately, I got to keep the alto saxophone part for this piece because that was the instrument I played in band.
After like three years of not doing concert band, this is the one song I would go back and learn to play clarinet again to do. Besides the Harry Potter soundtrack
My school band played this not too long ago. i played the suspended cymbal and the Cabasa, i was so nervous i would mess up lol. Surprisingly, we sounded very similar to this.
Robert W. Smith is all-around cool, but I think this is my favorite of his songs and the first one I ever played. Unfortunately, it's technically an easier piece than some others like Into the Storm and The Great Locomotive Chase, so I never got to play it after 8th grade!
i played this in middle school last year and it made me think tuba was fucking boring.. thank god i stuck with it because our marching band show is hard af and the tubas have a more complicated part than the trumpets
I'm a clarinet player too. I was second in the county and also tried out for all-district but got nervous and messed up on my scales and sight reading so that's why I didn't make it but i'm trying out next year. :)
Why is the orchestra version in A minor while the band version is g minor? I wouldn't think the key difference would be any harder on the fingers for the winds.
love this song playing it in our Middle school band. I play alto in regular band, tenor in Jazz. might switch to Bari, or Tenor in High school next year
Its a very fun song. Our orchestra had a lot of fun with it. Cellos nailed it and seconds were on time. Our violas needed some work . However it was a blast!
You know how there's ComicCon....well there should be a BandCon where band kids and adults could listen to concert music, talk about band, meet other kids who play the same instrument, play together, or somethin like that.....idk it was just a thought
There's a TMEA Convention in Texas every year.
yes
I'm going to the UMEA conference tomorrow here in Utah - same idea
Ill cosplay a tuba or marimba lol
Honestly, yeah
After listening there's one thing I want to know..
Did ANYBODY in "high school" or a lower grade ever play this with their class? *And it still sounded the same!!!*
I did in sixth grade bc i was in the 7/8 grade band, that was a bit ago tho
I did in middle school! I played 1st baritone on this, even tho I'm about to be a freshman in high school, also we played this in 8th grade
Ahh, good ol' 8th grade times
hahahaha heck yes bro lol, I played the baritone
im in 8th grade, we learning this rn
Yep I’m in year nine
That anxiety moment when you are the one that needs to play that melody in the beginning
It helps if you don't feel
French horn?
Yes mallets
Our band didn't have a Horn, so as a Saxophone, I have that melody
The most anxiety youl get is when it goes fast💀😭
Revisiting after 7 years due to my Band teacher who had us play this passing. Rip Mr. Frank Chlorie, Elko Middle, Richmond VA
My middle school band (8th grade that year) was supposed to perform this but so few people in the band were interested that the director “let” us play an easier piece that we’d already been performing for the entire school year instead. It’s been over a decade now and I’m still not over it.
I love the trombone part for this. Even if the trombone part is short, it's still pretty damn good. I'm playing this currently for Concert Band
Steampunk Elise I'm playing this piece for my pre festival
True
I played clarinet on this piece love the song
jbwwefan1103 SAME it's so hard bro

jbwwefan1103 I have first clarinet....I love it.....😍😍😍😍😍😍😍.
First clarinet part for this is sooo fun
1:01 is the best, most hyped up build up ever
My schools band played this when younger kids from other schools visited to see ours, and everyone was so hyped up especially during the building up parts
flutist/piccolo player! love this
Carly no last name me too!🎶🎶
This was one of the first pieces I remember playing on the contralto clarinet, on loan to me from the high school (I was in 8th grade). It was probably my best memory - the start to learning a range of different instruments. Good times.
I played this over 8 years ago and I still come here to listen to it lmao. Great nostalgic piece!
this sounds absolutely amazing. I'm so glad someone at school introduced me to this beautiful piece of art. Amazing 10/10. my favorite part is probably the shaker part or the part when it goes quiet and then gets loud. I love it
God, I love when flue has the melody. It's so much fun to play.
Oh gosh. Im gonna play this in middle school. Right now XD
Clarinet sounds absolutely BEAUTIFUL here....but everything here does. It’s just a beautiful piece.....
i played this for concert band in sixth grade 2 years ago. definitely one of my favorites
Sixth grade! This is a grade 2.5.
OMG ITS SO COOL! i searched this because i am playing this in my school band!
IT SOUNDS THE SAME AND WERE IN 6TH GRADE!
That Guy's Channel i searched because my schools high school band went and grouped with 12 other bands to play this its a great song
I played tuba for this piece in 7th grade and you really have to pay attention to dynamics and the. I played trumpet for it in 8th for honors band and I noticed it sounded like a piece for a spy movie
One of my favorite pieces to play....Clarinets all day baby!
The percussion in this piece is amazing.

Yeah I play mallets on this piece too!!! They are really confusing. :D
abbeycatMC I agree......
abbeycatMC i’m playing timpani for this piece :)
Yess i do too
SNARE AND I JUST BRBRBRBRBRBRBRBRBRBRBRBRBRBRR
My senior high school band played this in in New York in 2001. The good ol days! I was the percussionist. Kept the body moving-!
Played this in 8th grade back in 2009. Nostalgia.
same
And here I am in 7th grade in 2016
Andy Romero You're so lucky! How I wish I could go back to middle school!
Christian Ballard in the future I'm gona look back at this video and have nostalgia
It's sad to read the comments and be the only high schooler playing this piece.
KittyKat 7249 exactly
KittyKat 7249 My high school orchestra is playing this for our spring concert. We're only getting 3 weeks (which is only 3 rehearsals) to prepare this and two other songs.
KittyKat 7249 My high school band is playing it today because the Jr. High and beginning band are "Trash" quote band director.
KittyKat 7249 was just thinking the same thing as I read this comment lmao
y’all playin this in high school..? my middle school thought it was easy.
The first violin part in this song goes into fourth position.
Bob Th it’s right at the bottom of the violin
I play the vibraphone on this yayyy cant wait to play this at my concert
any good ol flutes around? i need friends who play flute
yea
AYE I PLAY FLUTE
I play flute too, I'm playing this with the advanced orchestra, I'm in 7th (advanced band,I'm really good) Its a really fun piece for flute.
Lucky, it's not hard to find people your age who play your instrument. Try finding an oboe friend.
aye fellow flute
We are a band, not orchestra. So we replace string with differnt parts each time, like violins for french horn, clarinet, or even flute
I’m playing this as a first clarinet in freshman band highschool 4th seat.
where's my fellow clarinets at?
Bass clarinet here.
Brisa Arriaga yaaaas
+Brisa Arriaga RIght Here Im a Clarinet playing this song in 7th grade
+TheCryoSheep O my god no way I played this song in my winter concert and I'm in seventh grade twins.

Practicing this song for my 7th grade band on alto saxophone this song is really great!!

Just saying, this song was taken from J.W. Pepper. This is a symphony playing it. I love this song! I'm playing it next year! Can't wait!! I saw my school do a preformence on this, but it was the band that was in the grade above me.
It's been 4 years since I played this my first year of band for my spring concert.
My 4th ever song played
I performed this piece this morning, and it sounded very similar to this arrangement. I was in the horn section - I love playing the opening, but it took us ages to get it because we kept laughing whenever we heard the rest of the orchestra doing the sound effects! Just goes to show what fun you can have with a piece of music :)

Any fellow 1st trumpets?
1:39 is my favorite part that I played as a clarinet
We almost performed this in Spring of 2020, but then COVID came along, and the concert was cancelled. Fortunately, I got to keep the alto saxophone part for this piece because that was the instrument I played in band.
Im the french horn playing a solo for 20 measures
Absolutely breathtaking.
After like three years of not doing concert band, this is the one song I would go back and learn to play clarinet again to do. Besides the Harry Potter soundtrack
I wish my band class stopped talking and start listening to this! We sound terribible 😅
woot playing this 4 honor band AND my schools spring concert. woot 4 bari and alto sax!!
The snare part to this song is a blast to play.
My school orchestra is learning this piece rn! We’re in 8th grade, and it’s sooo fun.
My school band played this not too long ago. i played the suspended cymbal and the Cabasa, i was so nervous i would mess up lol. Surprisingly, we sounded very similar to this.
Just got this piece for band last Friday. My mind is officially blown.
Playing this for band assessment was really fun , as a Flutist my favorite oarts are measure 52 and 85
doing this piece in orchestra, i play first clarinet its so much fun
Same but alto sax sad there is no written part so I’m playing a transposed soprano part
brings back high school memories!!!
I get to meet Robert Smith tomorrow at District band I'm soo excited!
Gonna play this for our concert (8th) as the marimba player! I’m hyped.
I'm in grade 12 but I'm playing the mallet percussion part for the junior high band at my school. It's so much fun!
Played this in middle school, fun as hell, was clarinet and played the main melody
Same like everyone in this and other Rites of Tamburo videos, I played this in 8th grade.
Beautiful and awesome song.
I love this song so much like the first day of hearing it in band I loved it
Robert W. Smith is all-around cool, but I think this is my favorite of his songs and the first one I ever played. Unfortunately, it's technically an easier piece than some others like Into the Storm and The Great Locomotive Chase, so I never got to play it after 8th grade!
Aprinsa I hate Into the Storm 😂😂😭😭....
And we just got this piece and we are amazing! Only in 9th grade
i played this in middle school last year and it made me think tuba was fucking boring.. thank god i stuck with it because our marching band show is hard af and the tubas have a more complicated part than the trumpets
Just got the music today, the Alto Saxiphone part is SCARY 😅
I'm so happy I get to play this
I could imagine this piece as like a scene in Zelda. I played this before in an honors band, it's pretty sweet.
the french horn part is fun! i love this song and The Tempest!
As it one of my favorites..... Trumpets over here!
Haha we're doing this song for our spring concert and pirates of the caribbean so it's going to be awesome!! I love rites of tamburo! :D
I played this in band I played the flute part and we played it during festival awesome song
I'm a clarinet player too. I was second in the county and also tried out for all-district but got nervous and messed up on my scales and sight reading so that's why I didn't make it but i'm trying out next year. :)
I played bass clarinet on this piece. Such a beautiful piece
Why is the orchestra version in A minor while the band version is g minor? I wouldn't think the key difference would be any harder on the fingers for the winds.
love this song playing it in our Middle school band. I play alto in regular band, tenor in Jazz. might switch to Bari, or Tenor in High school next year
We have to play this at all states this year... I GOTTA GET PRACTICING.
I'm playing this on 3rd Clarinet in my school's wind symphony and it's so much fun

I played this last year (7th grade) and it helped is get a 91 at a festival
Measure 20 Is my favorite part at 1:04 I played this on saxophone at my last concert about a week ago.
I was the lone euphonium playing this lol, the only one of my kind
I LOVE PLAYING TRUMPET, even on this sheet (I played it just recently)
I feel like the only violin here. I had a symphonic orchestra so this piece was pretty amazing.
opener for our show this year :]
Its a very fun song. Our orchestra had a lot of fun with it. Cellos nailed it and seconds were on time. Our violas needed some work . However it was a blast!
Finally! :D thanx soo much. love the crap outta this song!
