Dark Adventure, by Ralph Ford - Score & Sound

[@Nullient]

I remember playing this way back in seventh grade. I was a trumpet and played the solo. It was my very first solo ever. Brings back memories now looking back on it.

[@kayleenagorny607]

Me too! I’m also a trumpet player, it was also my first solo. Currently missing the good days.

[@mythicalbean]

I’m in 7th grade, I’m not a trumpet player, but I kinda get a solo I think? Idk, I’m a flute player

[@TwistedSox23]

Haha same. I miss those days. Everything was so simple. I’m in 10th grade now and play the trombone.

[@uezurichowa5285]

I had that small Soli on Snare/Timpani but the Timpani player was so soft it was basically a Solo.

[@madison5648]

Honestly, this song has remained one of my favorites. I play flute, and being able to play most of the song and some of my favorite parts keeps it in my top 10 or so band songs. I remember this song being really hard to learn to play fast, but it was really fun to learn!

whoa nostalgia! I played this a few years ago in seventh grade and it was one of my favorites to play on my trumpet, especially the solo (without realizing it was a solo so when i got my first explicitly stated solo the next year i was terrified lol), but over time i had forgotten this piece even existed! So when it randomly showed up in my recommended i was just hit with a huge wave of nostalgia.

[@korunae]
