Celtic Air and Dance arranged by Michael Sweeney 

its like a battle between the clarinets and the flutes and all everyone else is playing battle music for them

Our conductor always makes us speed up the last part like 10 times faster, and it instantly becomes both one of the best and the hardest pieces to play on kit.

I love the part where you think it's going to end then the percussion come in bam

How can one piece sound so majestic and epic at the same time 😭

WOOO TRUMPETS! I know this song was more for the wood winds, but I'm glad that they gave us a part. It just sounds so marvellous!

I play flute and this song is AMAZING

Everyone be like "flute" "clarinet" "trumpet" "percussion" And I'm over here like.... Bass Clarinet?????

8th grade band, those were the good times. No stress, no long hours, and so much fun. No drama no worries just happiness.

I love how the “air” part and “dance” part are so different! I’m doing this in my intermediate band class, and it sounds amazing and is so much fun to learn and hear all the parts together!!

I played the flute and I loved playing this song, where my fellow flutes at?

trumpet anyone? I personally think that this is an amazing piece to play in band (my band is performing it in 2 weeks) and it's different from the other pieces we've played because us trumpets finally have an epic part!! Listen for our solos!

I play clarinet and I love this song

I fricking love playing this on the clarinet it's so fun

Man, this really takes me back to me early middle school memories and to how fond of life itself. Now, saddly, it's really difficult to get myself out of this downward spiral I had gotten myself into. I ask not for sympathy at all! Just sharing a personal anecdote about the memories this song sends when I listen to it.

i’m a flute player and we play this song, i love it so much because i feel like it gives the flutes a chance to stand out

Lowbrass to me is what makes this music perfect 😍. Can’t have a band without lowbrass🤷🏾‍♀️🤪

Out of all my years of being a percussionist in middle school, this was definitely my most favourite piece

I play the baritone/euphonium and I just got this music TODAY can't wait to play this piece🙂

awesome i play the trombone .. on glades middle school. at glades band and i love that song its really cool

My band is playing this and it's amazing! Btw I play the flute so those parts are nice when I play them.

We did this for practice for sight reeding (so punny)

Playing this song for band. I play B flat clarinet

My middle School played it I'm in band I play 🎺

I've had this stuck in my head since band today

2:00-2:10 hits different playing the French horn!! It was my favorite part of the whole song when I played it in 7th grade 😂 I’m 22 now and I still think about this song!

We played the song for our teacher who passed away and we worked really hard bc he was like a father to us all and ik its weried but we had to remind everyone of what a great man he was he always complamented the band and on how we were improveing and and I played bass drum,. And for anyone who is reading this from mms good job guys.....

Clarinet! My band is playing this and I love it!

Where My FRENCH HORNS at Bro

I played the snare drum part on this at my 8th grade band concert. It felt like two armies about to face off in the field of battle, and the drums are the armies' steps at they get closer and closer to each other

Percussion yass

This song is so good it still sounds good when my band class has 9 people and no percussion or trumpets

I remember playing this in 6th grade It’s f***ing beautiful

We are playing this in band. Amazing song. Clarinet is the best btw!

This song is amazing!!!!!!

Flute gang over here

I played precision for this piece and it's AWSOME But sometimes hard when ur the only girl percussionist and the boys think there better than you

We are playing this in my seventh grade band class Clarinets where you at

Clarinets where you at?

First half of song = the parting glass an Irish folk song

Amazing song! I love the part where you think it's over, but then the percussion comes it. I played Tenor Saxophone :)

I play french horn on this song and I love it it sounds pretty cool!

I am currently in band playing alto sax and clarinet and I am playing this song and I love it!

I'm an 8th grade bassoonist and got picked out for an honors band program back in November, and this was one of the songs we played. It's so beautiful :) we also played Zombie Tango, Pirates Of The Caribbean, Colliding visions, and March On The King's Highway. I got accepted into the next "level" of honors band and I wish we were playing this song again since we're playing one song from each band(there were 3 different bands) This song brings back so many memories of rehearsing for like 8 hours 2 days in a row. I hope to have more cool opportunities like that

just played this song at a concert last night, definitely my favorite song i’ve played with my french horn so far

Flute player here...just learned that my 8th grade band is gonna play this at our concert in October. I fell in love with it immediately...too bad the two other flutes have been struggling with this piece.

All the songs arranged by michael sweeney are amazing

Played this song last year and I still remember my flute notes/music 😭🫶🏽

I had a snare drum solo in front of the stage. Playing this song is so much fun!

I’m a band student and I’m glad because this music is pretty af and Celtic is one of the prettiest things to exist I don’t know what can change my mind

This was one of the first pieces I ever played 😊 and oh my god, that was about 12 years ago. This gives me the feels big time

i was looking trhough the whole channel to find songs to play, and then i found this song, two years ago....... it was fun old times, i cry each time i think of the old memories with the band and now i maybe need to quit cuz we are maybe moving.....

I'm currently in band and my conductor said that this video will help a lot with our concert a lot and it does I play the flute and I love this music that we have to play.

Hey! Trumpets! Where are ya’? So what grade did you play this song at? For me, grade 9.

2:25 - 2:50 absolute favorite part! I play trumpet and piano and honestly when I played this a while ago this part always gave me the shivers it was so good

Playing flute in this is such an experience

Playing this for my winter concert at school!

The dislikes were 100% the tuba players who got nothing

i play flute i love my parts and the way they all combind together💙💙

We played this for sight reading to prepare for MPA. I got to play bells. So cool!

I loved playing this on the Oboe

I’m in 9th grade and our concert band is playing this at our next concert and I’m so excited! Is trombones have this song on lock for the most part and it’s so much fun.

I play clarinet. We are playing this song this year. It is by far my favorite

I love playing this on kit and my drum solo is epic ngl i love this song sm, especially the smooth and gentle first half then the faster half

miss playing this song. one of my all time favorites.

My 6th grade class is playing this right now we are getting ready for a concert!

How can people possibly dislike this!?

Honestly the Horns and the low brass are the glue that holds the entire piece together

I remember playing this last school year. Our band teacher has all of the sixth grade bands play this at their first concert. It definitely was an experience for me. And that was the beginning of my journey of playing the flute.

I’m playing this in my school’s band (flute whoo!) It’s awesome.

I’m thinking these are sheets for people more like G7 my music sheets are much more full of notes. Anyways this is a beautiful song. My class will be doing nationals, and I want to prove to my teacher that I can get better then before. Even though I have been slacking in band meagrely. Up until the day where my band teacher said that she recommended me not to take band. That got me to me and that’s when I really realized I should get my ass to school more because everything I been working for my hole life nearly disappeared. But all of my work crumbled away. I don’t know how I’m going to ever pass onto G9, but i will do all my best now for it. Anyways my beautiful band teacher retires next year and planned a Disney trip for us all, hopefully covid won’t strike as bad or even at all by then so that we can create a wonderful memory with her. this always makes me wanna cry. It’s touchy. But what really hurts is that she got so far into teaching me and I let it fall apart by not attending my classes anymore. And that’s one thing I’m really going to think about, I want to be in touch with her for longer. And just last year she complemented me and my best friend, brainne, she complemented our teamwork and improvements in band. Wow, I wish I could have kept myslef together so that I wouldn’t have to feel such a strong pain of regret inside of me. Heya anyways, im going to show myself better, and this time I don’t want to loose nearly everything the way I did this year. Gonna end my comment now. It was more of a story though.

SNAREESSS WHERE YOU AT I LOVE THIS PIECE

I’m playing this for Concert winds, and as a trumpet player, I’m really happy the woodwinds mainly get a part in this, as the pieces I’ve played, it’s mainly been brass as the main lead. I love this song a lot too!

finally mastered percussion lmao

I'm playing this song in 2019, and this is probably the best song I play in my band. (I play snare)

The tuba for this one was so much fun! Easily one of the best if you wanna have fun with the tuba, it's not to fast yet not too slow either. I absolutely love this.

8th grade band arts night just yesterday... this song. AMAZINGGGGGGGGG

Did this in 7th grade concert band, I played flute, I like the first part better.

Where the percussionists be at

Playing this in three weeks. BEST SONG EVER (I'm a tuba btw but it's still so cool)

I played percussion for this song during our band, specifically snare (turned off) and it was one of the memorable pieces.

It only we were this good lol. Then again I’m a tuba.... not like they will ever here us anyways......

I'm playing this in my concert tommorow :3 I play trumpet and in intermediate band :3

This was probably the best sixth grade song i played. It has character, and the melodies blend well together with the bass line, the addition of the percussion solos was one of the best ideas the composer has used. Overall 10/10 beginning band song.

i love this song sm i played part 3 in 6th grade, then online school happened and we didn’t get a concert. now i play part 1 as an 8th grade clarinet. the faster end part gives me so much happiness omg

Where the altos at??

I love how in the middle it sounds like its ending, but really its just a trick

I'm about to play this in November 2019!

I remember playing this in band way back in 6th grade. I'm in 12th now and this remains one of my most favorite piece I've ever played. This was part of the reason I stayed in band, because I wanted to keep playing incredible music like this.

We're playing this song at Dubose Middle School around spring and im playing the 1st trombone part! Can't wait!

im percussion i play bass drum i love this song

Played this piece in my school’s band. We worked on it for months, fine tuning and all. We played well, and when the time came for a concert or an evaluation, we killed it. My fondest memories of the year came from going to sports games and playing for the teams, and I won’t ever forget the familiar nature of the band. In particular to Easton, Austin, Gavin, and Rose, thank you for making the year one to remember. I wish daily I were playing alongside you once more.

We learnt this in grade 7 band and nothing will ever top this. The concert was insane, our parents all had their jaws dropped. Core memory forsure

I play the flute and I luv this song. We are playing it for band

We practicing this at my band, and I gotta say, this is pretty lit. (I play clarinet)

I'm playing this song in band

this is one of my spring concert piecesfor this year, i really loovee playing it.

MY ARCEUS THIS IS HARD and I'm playing it in my band. IT'S FLIPPING IMPOSSIBLE

Ok ok, where are my Oboes at? I know we exist!

I will never forget playing this last year

That amazing moment for you and your other saxes at 67. Azalea Gardens 2018
