Jungle Dance - Brian Balmages

Jungle Dance - Brian Balmages

Your band will lead a musical celebration of life in the jungle with this captivating piece. A never-changing melody is cleverly woven throughout the work as the surrounding harmonies and textures constantly evolve as the music develops. As the melody is passed from section to section, it is layered on top of itself numerous times along with the countermelodies that have been heard through the course of the piece. A large battery of percussion compliments the winds perfectly in this enchanting selection that is sure to become your band's favorite.

I own nothing.

The low brass part at 1:17 is actually 🔥🔥 it fits so well with the horns having the melody.

When my band director put the recording up of this song the whole class was so exited! Now whenever we get it out we all are so ready and exited to play

I played this in 7th grade at a regional band congregation in my county, revisiting as a freshman in college is so much fun. As a trumpet player, I lived for that melody!

[lolol]

We are gonna play this for our spring concert! I’m super excited because after we preform in front of parents we then preform in front of judges a couple days later and go to six flags after! Our school won last year so we can hopefully expect the same.

As a baritone player, the last 30 measures are a certified fire moment
Edit: it's been 2 years. Let this comment die

In middle school, I was assigned lead Aux for most songs. While we never played this to a crowed, easily my favorite memory from band then was when we had a sub and a student took the lead and we managed to get through this song with minimal errors. Thank you for posting this so I can relive those memories even after I quite band in my 12th grade year.

[idk...--]

We are going to be playing this at festival soon! I play flute it sounds so good! I'm actually really excited for festival this year

[yoonjins_sweetiepie]

I remember distinctly playing this during my band exam in high school and the person watching us perform this was so impressed by my rhythm that he said, "you keep her around. She has good rhythm". And my band director being so proud of me and by the end of this song I was so proud of myself. I was playing the bongos for this song

[NateSilva-mlvg]

Wow. What a nostalgic song. I’m leaving my current school and percussion, and this was the last song we learned together. All the memories flood back when I listen to the last song I played and learned with them. 😊

[ario]

We just played this song for our region concert, it was really fun! I play tuba and counting the rests was a little hard but I really enjoyed playing it. I think my favorite part is the clapping.

[weston]

I’m a junior in high school and this is still my favorite piece I’ve ever played

[itswook]

I remember playing this in 2013 in middle school, definitely one of the more memorable pieces! I enjoyed every bit of it, was really fun and interactive

[king_chicken]

Finally a piece where bassoon actually gets partially recognized

[mikehawk]

This song makes me scream without the s.

[turtlesout]

This the best horn part I have ever played

[t-wnlo]
