I remember playing this march in middle school. For the first half of the season, I played first clarinet then halfway through the season our school got a bass clarinet and I had to learn the music in two weeks for competition. Good times...

[@dreamvibez3534]

I feel you

[@eki_154]

I didn't participate in the march, but I'm a clarinet 3 so I feel you

My high school opened up this year, and our mascot is the aviators. My band director found this piece and immediately got it 😂

[@JackSmith-hm7fh]

That is such a cool mascot. Does the mascot look like the baron on Red Baron pizza boxes?

[@danielkormendy9378]

i found my old music folder from middle school with all my old music, and this was one of the songs we played I guess. we played so much music back in middle school i don't remember all the songs I played. middle school was an amazing time for band for myself and many of my friends

[@mrplebpotato2824]

I am in middle school this song is so boring compared to last year

[@WOLFM0THER]

I love the trio section. Brings back memories of my freshman year

[@badjokes4ever905]

And I’m now listening to this on repeat until I memorize it

[@Cloclo17020]

I didn’t play this for marching band like everyone else were doing it for our spring concert

[@TheBandMan]

Shmelo how did your concert go?

[@calixcosgrove3437]

I love playing March songs more than anything in band, so this is a fun one to listen to

[@EvelynBarnes-hl8qx]

I played this on trombone, and it was literally SO FUN 😍

[@CristinaSignoretti]

this song is so iconic for my band lmao

[@robloxvincent1120]

playing this at honor band 6th grade too 😞

[@spinzkingz5407]

I played this at Honor Band too. I was in 8th grade, and we only rehearsed this song and a couple of other songs for a few hours before performing for the public. Too bad I didn’t sound that great to be honest 😂. If we had like a few days of rehearsals with this song, I think we could’ve done a lot better, but still we didn’t do too bad in the end.

This is amazing

[@tr0nshad0w42]

this is one of our uil pieces that i have the pleasure of playing bass clarinet for yay i love this piece a lot

[@TheBandMan]

That's fantastic! 🎉 Playing bass clarinet on a UIL piece is a great opportunity, and it's wonderful that you're enjoying it so much. What specifically do you love about this piece? Is it a particular melody, the overall mood, or perhaps the challenge it presents? Your enthusiasm is contagious-keep making beautiful music on that bass clarinet! 🎶😊

[@tr0nshad0w42]

@@TheBandMan Thank you so much! And one thing I absolutely love about this piece is that it's like a bouncy, uplift march and I enjoy all the different components (I don't know how to describe fully to my best), but it's really amazing!

[@aceroro20]

ugh I’m so happy that the trombones have a good part in this song. Also I’m the only one on trombone 3 in this song and I feel special. edit: we had a chair test and i got 3/7 so now i’m first part, but it’s ok i like first part :)

[@mattsherelmao]

i have to play this for a school grade (60%) and it isnt fun playing a heard song you never knew.

[@aceroro20]

Shirley Lee nah b it’s easy as shit

[@backalleysports4799]

Ur not alone brother

[@andyzavala2349]

Shirley Lee I mean I was trumpet 1 and then my fellow lower chairs did the fail and needed help so my band director moved me to tpt 2 and I’m sad but now tpt2 is actually heard so life is good for now

[@HamvurgerDash]

What school do y’all go to?

[@maia___7259]

i have the horn part and i’m literally so confused bc i can’t hear my part

[@hardcharging]

That's because we only have off-beats. 95+% of all march repertoire are off-beats only for us hornists.

[@supermaril]

Yeah marches and horns don't mix too great most of the time

[@laurenmckellar9871]

any way of knowing WHO this recording is of?

[@ThePrimeLegendYT]

Hi ms mclekkar

[@TheBandMan]

If it's a Swearingen piece, probably the "Washington Winds" which is the name of the studio group they assemble for demo recordings.

Not to brag or anything *takes a sip of my tea* I got 1st trumpet on this song. I don’t know what music education you got but I am 100% better than you *laughs in egotistical*. Nope guys I did the fail. My fellow tpt2s are the bad at this song and made me laugh from egotistical to crying in moving down to tpt 2 but now the part is actually heard

[@exstreamise302]

Imagine not having the melody the whole song. *laughs in mallets*
