University of Michigan: Aurora Awakes -John Mackey. 

I respect this percussionist. He GIVES to the music and properly offers a visual performance as well!

my high school performed this in the sydney opera house. I will never forget the goosebumps I got when the percussionist hit the crash cymbal the first time

Beautiful piece our top high school band is playing it for contest. Absolutely amazing!

This may be the best performance I've ever heard of this piece (and I wrote the damn thing).

This and Ecstatic Waters are definitely my favorite two pieces I've ever played.

they did such a good job. i heard them play this at the band o rama

I don't remember the second band sounding so good when I played in the Symphony Band under Revelli. Congratulations - your conductor must be very fine.

that flute soloist has an amazing tone!

@ostimu Well, you haven't heard Columbus State University's Wind Orchestra play it yet. This September 22nd at the Schwob School of Music.

It must be nice to google your own name and have something this incredible come up....

isn't this the freshmen/sophomore group? it is amazing

i need advice. i dont know if you heard our 2nd band at dekaney high school from Houston TX but if we played undertow by john mackey last year during concert season at UIL and got a 1 do you think we could play this.

ye right... of curse it were you... '-.-

did joel boss play on this piece?

You're cute

High hat player...not good.
