In the mood. Most recognizable jazz tune ever. Also, we played without warming up, and our director just walked right out of the room without a word.

The song I remember the most and think it was the best was:
Viva La Vida by Coldplay
It was the best song we played all last year! And the only song I memorized! (We have to memorize all of our marching music!) I don't thnk I'm ever going to forget this one!

Last year my band played a medley of songs from "The Nightmare Before Christmas" for our winter concert. They'd played it the year before too, but I wasn't in that band then. I was so sad when our director said we wouldn't play it this year!
Last year for competition, our first band played "Shaherizad". It's probably spelled wrong and I don't know the composer, but the song was amazing. sweatdrop

The Phoenix Project. It was a jazz piece written by Larry Barton I believe specifically for my school's jazz band. He came in to direct it and everything. Awesome it was.

I loved Second Suite in F by I think it was Holst. For some reason my brain just had a huge fart o_o
I also enjoyed Commando March and English Folk Song Suite both of whom I forgot the composers.
My altime favorite, although I've long lost the music, was Ontario Overture, which we played in 8th grade. It was the first, and so far only time I've ever had the chance to play a solo in front of a group. Well, not countign my alto sax soo if I manage to get it out tomorrow(stupid ghetto sax is being stupid and concert is tomorrow)
Triumphant Spirit was pretty good, although i would like it better if I had first on it.
My least favorite...Toccato Marziale by ...brain fart again. It was...erm...fun. We palyed it, sort of, at regionals last year. if regionals band can't play it, it shouldn't exist. We almost cut it, it was that bad. Its fun, but its uber fast(why its fun) with weird jumps, and its pretty much every section, and every part within the sections, playing completely different rythyms that dont ffit together at all(Kind of like some weird twisted fugue that a drunk personcomposed to play with a band on acid)

The three I remember most are our percussion ensemble "Mosaics" by Jared Spears, a festival song named "Westwood Portrait" also by Jared Spears, and a 7th grade festival song named "Headless Horseman", and I don't remember the composer's name.
Funny, I just realized I played bass drum in all of those...
Well, actually, Headless Horseman I didn't play anything because I rejoined Band while they were learning that song, but at a pre-festival the person on bass drum was sick and I filled in for him...

well...i've never played any of these, but being an uber band geek who happens to be in colorguard, i know them smile
i know there was a piece that a different band played in middle school. i forget the name (but i'm sure they ALL would remember if i asked about the song that inspired the music-burning party...) but basically what it was for the clarinets was 60 measures of continuous 8th notes on one note. with one or 2 measures scattered on one note lower...and i think the song was only 1 maybe 2 pages...
but songs i love? wow...
the echo never fades
pilatus-mountain of dragons by steven reineke
harrison's dream
ghost train by eric whitacre
godzilla eats las vegas by eric whitacre
el camino real
in heaven's air
LA FIESTA MEXICANA by owen reed!!!!! epic contrabass clarinet...even though we don't own one so we used bari sax and bass clarinet biggrin
october by eric whitacre
paris sketches
then, of course, the winter drumline shows "clockwork" and "dark circus"
haha sorry i have too many smile
oh and the tyger by tichelli. just because its such an f***ed up song... smile

Let's see... Three for me...
These two because I I came fully circle with them... Tamburo played as 8th grader with highschoolers (recruitment concert) and the other because they played it then, too. Then I played them my senior year for the same concert.
The witch and the saint by Steven Reineke
Rites of Tamburo by Robert W. Smith
And this one cause I played it at all-state:
Strange Humors by John Mackey
*EDIT: And Chester by... ummm I forget... Was one heck of a piece to play... So many sixteenth rhythms... Hard. But fun for someone like me who never gets those kind of parts (I'm a TSax.)

Lord Yujinma In the mood. Most recognizable jazz tune ever. Also, we played without warming up, and our director just walked right out of the room without a word. In the Mood is definitely the most memerable jazz tune i've played too. When the band was staying at the hotel, it was playing in the lobby.

2) Chameleon- I love jazz
3) Make Me Smile- Jazzzzzz, gotta love that jazz
4) Andromeda Galaxie- very simple, sounded very starwarsy <3
