This is a video that my brother recorded of the 1st band at Longhorn Music Camp 2008 playing Undertow by John Mackey. This is the 4th and final piece of the concert. This is by far our coolest piece. Everyone in the band loved it and the audience seemed to also. Undertow is the coolest band piece I've ever played. I played Tenor Sax in the band. All the music was so intense. The players all got really into it, and so did the audience. Something worth noting (since it added quite a bit of difficulty to the piece) was that for almost all of the piece the time signature switched between 7/8 and 4/4 every measure. The tenor sax probably had the best woodwind part. Many times, I would be the only woodwind playing a certain part, and along with the high brass an octave lower or be the only person playing a low woodwind part in a woodwind feature. I wanted to add a huge "UP YOURS!" to the fat ass and his dad that were being so annoying and making lots of noise and bothering the audience around 1:40. Luckily, the music drowned out their talking. 2:37 to the end is the best part of the piece. The percussion parts are incredible. If you wish to hear some of John Mackey's other works (which I would really recommend), please visit WWW.OSTIMUSIC.COM. He's an awesome composer. This video was recorded on June 28, 2008.

the symphonic badn (2nd band) at the WTAMU band camp in Canyon played this! we played in much better though :)

yeah, i can understand that. the frech horns actually liked their parts a lot at lmc. the alto and tenor saxophones play more than any other other instrument - which was no problem. we loved playing it. and we nailed the piece after about 3 hours of rehearsing it alone over the whole week week

Yeah, this song is pretty awesome if your not a french horn player and dont have to play it constantly, our band director at hill country made us play it as least three times a day, its hard to keep the energy going
