Final Countdown by Joey Tempest/arr. John Higgins 

This song just shows the truth behind the phrase, “Your band is only as good as your first trumpet.”

I'm a trombone player....who else listens to this like fifty times....my sisters hate it...they have no idea how much fun ther missing out on band #teamtrombone

We played this at football games. If You're not out of breath and kind of light headed at the end, ARE YOU EVEN PLAYING CORRECTLY???!!!😂

how many times do u want the trumpets to have the melody? “yes”

I am just gonna say this, the tuba/sousaphones sound amazing in every one of these songs. I can't believe just how good this band sounds.

1:12 I love that harmony with the trumpets and horn. It's interupting, but somehow sounds really right.

This was always my high school’s marching band tradition to play this song after 3rd quarter at every game.

We played this song with the beginning 6th, intermidiate 6th, 7th, and 8th bands combined. I was one of two kids to play the high clarinet notes in my grade. This song is SUPER fun to play!! also LETS GO BAND KIDS!!! 🎶🎶

*when you play flute for the melodies, then you get into marching band ._.*

I was in band from 5th grade to senior year, marching, Pep and concert band. It was the high light of my day. My band teacher past away my senior year and I always play these songs to remember her by!

TRUMPET GANG WHERE YOU AT?!?

instead of the final count down it's let's go trumpets

Clarinet and flutes: yeah I do a lot…..

I remember doing this in band and winning state band contest with it

You know an arrangement is good when it sounds good coming from a computer. But hearing this live is awesome.

measure 24: trombones get melody for a moment and... wait. whats that? could it be? Melophones play it with them? Just like in every piece of music ever? who could have forseen this?

When your team is losing 42-0 after the two minute warning and stadium is empty but your band director still makes you play this song.

I love joey since 1980, i've 50 now and i love him as the first day, his voice, personnality, charism, sensuality and all his songs... It's the best of my generation. From the band Europe to your solo songs. JOEY, YOU'RE THE BEST. Thank you Rolf for all these years 😉👍👍👍👍😘😘😘 💙💙 . I'm a big big fan in France

Nothing better than learning to play this on every instrument and editing it all together

Trumpets anyone? 🎺 👌

I love this song!

I’m in the top band in my school. We played this for our first concert. I’m a tuba player. This song is so fun to do on tuba.

The one time we played this during class we had a sub, and he pulled in an orchestra kid and made him play the gong. It was beautiful.

i play the trumpet and we are learning how to play this in seventh grade for a parade. the high notes are not my favorite but fun to play. i read like most of the comments and i love the fact that every one that commented has or is playing an instrument or in band. #bandfamily

My god this brought back the nostalgia! Same arrangement and everything.

Does anyone else think at the part of this song where is goes, “It’s the final countdown”, feels weak. There’s all this build up for what we hope to be an explosive part of the song but we are then disappointed when it’s quiet and the trumpets hop back in before the notes are even over. Just a thought. Also team trumpet. 🎺

Trombone for life

Some part of me just wishes that I was good enough to play this in the main hallway at my school.

As someone in a band full of one-ups-man-ship, I straight up passed out and had to go to the nurse due to how hard I blared for the "IT'S THE FINAL COUNTDOWN" part- #TeamAltoSax

I'm a tuba player, and it was a great decision because now I'm playing this song with my beloved tuba

I’m sax but I played trumpet BAND FOR LIFE

played this exact version of final countdown I still can't believe I remember the notes it's been so long😭😭😭 #missbandsomuch

We had this for like 4 years. I play alto sax. Our band plays this at a faster pace.

as a flute, those whole notes triggered my asthma every time XD. I stg after this song i was like dead and out of breath. But i still love this song and it gives me SOOO much serotonin

Trombones😍✌❤👏

These high notes kill me, #RipTrumpet

I have a friend named Joey and the man who wrote this I feel like Joey would play this and be the only trumpet #trumpetsonfleek

French horns for life!!! #frenchhorns

Throughout this song everyone had the same parts except for 1st trumpets. At the end all sections except percussion had it! That's awesome.

I love the snare and high hat combination

I remember playing this when I was in pep band and it's so hard but fun to play as a trumpet

This song is so cool I love to play this on the radio I love it so much

As a tuba player im looking foward to this, im basically the concert to the fondation to the band.

We’re actually learning this this year so we can play it at our football games, I love it!

the reason i started playing trumpet (FINAL COUNTDOWN!)

Time do trompete 🎺 🎺 forever!!

I am a student at perth modern school western australia and this song is out of my world 👍

This song is so good I listen to it all day almost every day Now I know how to play it I am going to play it at a concert

I really like the horn and trombone solo

My lips are numb just looking at this 😂❤

Go Baritone and Trombone 4 life

I love this song I can’t stop playing it this song is so awesome and amazing I love it so much it’s so cool I love this song

Top mesmo Parabéns para quem fez a música

Our band needs this.

O Som Desses Trombones ❤😍😍😍😍

Finally I've been waiting for this to come out

Pride of Archer Marching Band

We played it in 6th grade and we all thought it wouldn't fit into the class but now I love it😊😉

we can all agree if not for my unknown friends in percussion, the band wouldn't know what the hell they're doing. we're the tempo for a majority of songs played

Magnifico !

I love this song really much.

When the game reaches overtime

This sounds exactly like my HS band director's arrangement. And he doesn't copyright stuff for his bands. This is odd.

Hey guys, I am pretty young, I'm in fourth grade, and I don't know if you can join band as early as fourth grade, but I LOVE playing the trombone even though I am one out of two that is playing it. #TrombonePower #BandFamily Edit: Hey guys, thanks for all he replies and likes! Now that I look back, my comment is very cringe-worthy haha thanks for all the support

wow, i love it!!

This is so good I am crying

This song absolutely sucks if ur a flute or clarinet
