Pengwinja. I’m not sure I could convince my brass band to play a hot cross buns arrangement for a web forum within a site for an online format or a board game… but I couldn’t get you asking out of my head so I recorded a soulful blues organ arrangement of hot cross buns. I don’t want this to seem like I’m trying to bring traffic to my music or social media… so I’ve put the link on a second YouTube account I don’t post to

Thanks everyone! I’m excited to check out your all’s suggestions tonight. Keep them coming

This is a very fun question to ask. I am trying to think of the *worst* possible suggestion to make.

So far, I have come up with the Major-General's song, but someone has already arranged it for a brass band, apparently: https://www.solidbrassmusic.com/product/gilbert-model-of-a-modern-major-general/

Hello all! Last year I graduated with a degree in music performance, with concentrations on composition and trumpet performance. In the last year, I've struggled at times to find motivation to write in my time away from work and away from like-minded creative minds. I have a simple request that will hopefully lead to your own entertainment and my own motivation... Let me know what piece you'd like to hear arranged for a 14-piece brass band! In the next week I plan on picking my favorite suggestion and finishing this arrangement, recording it with my brass band, and publishing it on a site for all of you to listen to.

Thankfully both percussionists are competent enough to switch off on drum set parts... but I will say some of the auxiliary parts are a bit... makeshift. The fun one is cowbell!

What's the instrumentation set in your group of 14?

5 trumpets, 4 trombones, bari sax, alto sax, sousaphone, drum set, auxiliary percussion

I once played "auxiliary percussion" in a group doing a performance. I ended up with finger cymbals. No one taught me how to play them, so I just played them like crash cymbals.

Greetings, fellow musicians. I am the bass player in two (relatively part-time) heavy metal bands and am in the process of forming a psychedelic rock band which I will be writing new music for in the coming year.

In response to the OP, I would like to hear "Sirius / Eye In The Sky" by the Alan Parsons Project arranged for a 14 piece brass band.

Which piece of brass band music would you like to hear me work out a bass guitar line for?

In seriousness, I also play trumpet (as a pastime, not good or anything) and have been trying to get through pirates of the Caribbean. It’s a medley of many of the songs there, and I can see if i can get the specific music. If that could be played, I think I would really enjoy that.

Is that the Michael Sweeney arrangement for concert band? I think I've played that if so
