Rocking in the high school

Those of you who follow our weird covers semi-permanent section, have seen many a weird thing spacer . But a high school brass band doing Purple medley must be a first. Lots of Japanese girls (that rule) playing music we all love and this time they don’t hide their faces:

    Awesome. Burn is such a great song.
    Thanks for the link.
    Especial thanks for moderating comments. I had almost stopped coming back here because of the ill mannered comments.

    Japanese people always have to offer something outstanding and special while covering Deep Purple.
    the last time I watched them covering maybe Smoke or Highway (don’t remember) played by the Japanese folk-instruments, in National Japanese clothes. this was the great example how Purple’s music can fit and rule two absolutely different cultures (western and eastern)

    Knowing that I was a big Deep Purple fan, some students from the jazz band in the school where I work got together and serendaded me by playing “Smoke on the Water” outside my classroom window early in the morning some years back.

    This is actually a symphonic band. Someone took a great deal of time to score this, and they did a great job. A lot more work than one might think was devoted to the final product.

    I love it!! A brass band, a symphony orchestra or a rock band, they can all power perform!

    Music is a breaker of borders, and this goes to show just how good great music will cross all perceptions of genres.

    I am a rock´n´roller at heart, however I love all great music!
