As a member of this band , thank you all for listening. Music doesn’t have to end when you leave school. We play because we love music and share this with everyone on stage here and we love the special musical moments as if we are still in school. Keep playing and find a community band Btw I play first trumpet and many of us have been in ASB for years

Thank you for this 🥺 I have 4 more years of school and I've been in band since 7th grade, I was scared I wouldn't be able to do band after I graduate but now I know I can 😃😃😃

I played this as a french hornist. This was the first true piece in my entire career where I felt I was flying.

Never overlook the power of simplicity. I played this in my middle school district honors band at their last ever concert, and the utter simplicity of the piece, despite how much power and emotion it projects, makes this one of the most beautiful pieces I have ever played in band.

I just love how each and every section can come together and make such beautiful effects to make Rippling watercolors come to life.

I just played this song yesterday for a region 12 band concert. From SAN ANTONIO TEXAS. I am flute 4 . This piece is so beautiful written by brian balmages while watching his 2 young daughter painting with water colors between ages 2-4... It shows the story behind infinite possibilities of childhood. I love this piece. I cried on stage.

Praise God for young musicians amd artistic temperaments like you. Look into Wheaton College Conservatory ( Wheaton, IL) a great place to play pieces like this amd prepare well for life. Plus the Chicago Symphony Orchestra plays regularly on campus.

Im literally playing this piece from the exact same city! That's crazy

I played this piece two years ago. It was the first song that I had ever cried while playing. This song (along with two others) got my band a spot on a national stage last year. Even listening to it now it just brings me to tears. This is absolutely a piece that has the power to take your breath away, and if you ever play this piece, please do not neglect your time with it.

I made it into honor band for 8th grade and we played this song. I play bass clarinet and this is such a beautiful piece. Complete goosebumps every time.

I just returned from my daughter's final concert band performance as a high school senior and they played this song. Such a beautiful piece and they played wonderfully. I did fine until I saw the tears flowing down her cheeks and dad lost it. The way that music can grip your heart and soul is priceless. I'm so very proud of my little girl....thank you for the memories sweetheart.

This piece is extremely hard to play correctly, its just slow. Every part is exposed. So every note must be in tune or else it will sound funky

I played this song in wind ensemble and I've never felt the power of music until I played this and had tearing rolling down my face. I can still feel them coming while I'm listening to this.

I played this song with Mr. Balmages directing us. It’s amazing how he can fine tune his own song.

I've been playing the saxophone since the fifth grade. My sophomore year of college, we played this piece as a nice relaxing tune, and I have to say this was my favorite song to have ever performed. Music is not about the complexity, it never should be.

I'm in 7th grade honor band and I play vibraphone. My God, this song is so pretty.

Mr. Floyd is currently directing my county’s all county band and we’re playing this! It’s cool that he’s conducted it before. He also told us about this band

Mushyface 2000 wow I have all county today too and we’re playing this but mr Floyd isn’t conducting :(

To all of the middle school kids who have play this piece kudos to you if you guys sound like that. Even though the music itself is easy, the blend and balance of every instrument takes a lot of skill. Crescendos and decrescendos can get very tricky in a piece like this.

This is one of the few pieces that never fails to bring tears to my eyes. Thank you Balmages and band :)

It would be a mistake to call this a simple piece. The harmonies are very rich and complex. Like fine wine or really good chili. It is a great piece for young musicians. It shows how beautiful music, your music, can be without being technical, or lighting fast. As a "mature" musician: wow.

I am in 8th grade band, I play the clarinet and we just played this song today for a band contest at a different school, and we one first place. This song is so cool and I wanted to hear it again so here I am :)

This piece of music really takes me back to my Junior year of High school. I got to play this at our UIL competition last year, and I had chills just now listening to it. The first time I played it, I was badly in chills, because at the time, my grandmother was at the hospital, but she passed a week later. This song reminds me of her everytime I play it, or even listen to it. I played the 2nd trombone part. Keep up the good work!

Love the bass clarinet in this

Yesss I played bass clarinet for this song in band and I had so much fun

I’m a 13 your old band student and I can’t wait to perform this song next year in my 8 th grade band.

This sounds fuller and more beautiful than the professional recording

I love it how it grows and then it goes into suspension it's EPIC

Every time I play this song in band I get really sad and depressed because playing this song hits hard

Congratulations to Dr. Floyd (Director) for having the greatest taste in music. Easily "One of the Greats."

me and my band actually played the world premier of this song because balmages wanted us to

I am presently assisting a Catholic elementary school band director and he has elected to challenge the kids with this piece. All of the fast pieces are coming together nicely; but, this one is a bit daunting and we shall see how it progresses over the next couple weeks. I pray it happens because this music is so uplifting.🙏

Just ended my band career in high school. I played trumpet for 4~ years until 10th grade. The only reason I quit was because of marching band conflicting with JROTC, and many others issues regarding times and meets. I would still love to play concert band and jazz band some time though.

Keep playing if you can. I played in HS and college bands, then served in the the U.S. Navy for 30 years (active and reserve). I really didn't have much time or opportunity to play. I joined ASB after I retired, and it's been a wonderful experience. (I'm the string bass player in the back.)

This song is so easy

The speed is just fine if you ask me. The director will find a comfortable playing speed with the correct color's speed the composer wanted, and play it at that speed. This is about Quarter note=66 bpm.

Well, the song is called Rippling Watercolors. The composer probably didn't need much trumpet color as much as Baritone and Clarinets color did :) sorry mate, however I do think trumpet is a amazing instrument!

Go flutes, oboes and clarinets 😄

i don't get why people think this is beautiful. We play this in our advanced band and it sounds like crap there are notes all over the place that don't blend and it is not "rippling watercolors"
