Ikr, snare drum part is really cool too

[@Kilogram-]

Thank you I'm a Low brass I play the Baritone

YES PERCUSSION GANG! my band could not play this song, but i could on the toms, I was asked to play *louder* at 1:41

[@chicoravelli5703]

The thing I don't understand about your comment is adding the "Coming from a percussionist" part. You can have a positive or negative opinion on music no matter who you are. Have a nice day!

[@scorn-52]

@@chicoravelli5703 i agree, but in his defense, hes just informing the reader what his position was. Have a nicer day!

[@el-yahshaddai2789]

This piece is so passionate and alluring. It just feels undescribeable. I remember playing this piece on 1st clarinet 20 years ago. Wow..sweet memories

[@juanalfredotrujillo6606]

I also play the clarinet, I learned the song but my instructor didn't let me play I wish he would have let me but I love the song.

[@quentinm.williams9]

I'm 22 now but I remember playing this in 7th grade thinking it was the hardest thing ever! 🤣

[@huzilafwa5792]

I'm 22 as well now, I played this when I was in 7th grade during the winter concert in December 2014. Time flies so quickly... 🥲

[@lmaohahayoudead5581]

My band messed this song so badly during the day concert that the conductor wanted to cut the song for the night concert

[@jeshuabaniaga5613]

For all the people who commented this well don’t like it...

[@PoopyGorillaFace1]

Our concert is tomorrow and We’re gonna play that song. I’m kinda scared cause the drums barley know the notes

[@dimster6814]

My band is learning this song, and so far we suck. I hope will sound like this in the future.

[@extraterrestrialdisco]

@@dimster6814 haha same here

[@wonhosthigh265]

😬 my band learned it and it’s really good but our trombones just need a push. A good size push.

[@scorn-52]

My favorite band song ive ever played.

[@isabellarose9892]

I play this in band and I’m a bari sax and finally have a good part along with the other lows. we have a good time cuz we got told to play LOUDER?!? Since when??

[@denieskag394]

Bari sax squad

[@firecoolkid7512]

As a tuba player I can relate because all out other songs we have to be quiet and help the other instruments, on this one we get the melody and are louder.

[@Doodles290]

I play trombone and fully relate to this

[@Trainlover-pk9hn]

Elliot Del Borgo does this a lot. I played Voodoo Dance and it is pretty similar in concept with low brass getting the melody.

[@karateladybug6324]

Bari sax let’s gooo Same here✨

[@alexszutor4697]

My friend and I played this last year and I was just chillin in my room doing the online school bc if corona and I just randomly started humming this.

we play this song for the spring concert and i love it - coming from a trombonist

This was my favorite piece to play when I was in band

[@swordshadowslasher2517]

Just played this at my spring concert. We actually started playing this piece 4 days ago and it sounded good!

[@theresarapistinmyboot1081]

Finally deep base has an important part.

[@roboxer7527]

😐

[@Thetitanic2010xxxs_alt]

If your talking about all of low brass sure but if you talking about tuba then o will say tuba is the most important instrument because it’s the foundation of the band

[@Light-d5t]

Shut ​@@roboxer7527

[@chicoravelli5703]

This is my favorite piece singularly because most of the pieces I've played have very major trumpet parts, and this piece has a lot of big trumpet in it, but the trumpet isn't the main melody constantly and I love it.

[@taylorfrisco9648]

Honestly I love it and the melody of the flutes is just amazing then from the trumpets going to the melody is amazing

[@HiImHaven]
