There’s always that one person that place at the beginning and screws up

[@andrewnyangani1679]

Is this 3rd grade special ed

[@Cowtit]

I’m showing this to my band teacher

[@enriquehernandez2787]

tbch it looks like there are like 30+ clarinet players

[@lexiemaines5922]

in my band there is only 3 myself and two other kids

[@jacquip]

And I thought my band was bad...

[@angieg9742]

Ikr my band did it and we actually did good the only part we meet up on was the flutes solo

Why do this in elementary? Its best to do this in 6-8th grade because you can understand more.

[@Perpyluv]

in my opinion, my fav part was the flute solo, I’m a clarinet and I can say THERE ARE WAYYYYYYY TOO MANY CLARINETS and when their are too many, it overpowers other instruments. I think it’s measure 52 that clarinets come in quarter notes and their the harmony yet it sounds like they are the melody

[@jade-uq6gx]

whwhwh what is this..i don't understand

[@isabellageiser5120]

This is terrible. What's sad is that beginning band players can be worse than this. But gees the cringe is real.... WHO THOUGHT LETTING AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL BAND DO THIS WAS A GOOD IDEA??

[@catlvr-kg9ol]

the cringe is real

[@melakmakonnen7892]

exactly

[@go1dfox969]

Julien Loucks bro the trumpets were late. i am i trumpet, and i played this one before

[@go1dfox969]

Melak Makonnen and theres like 50000 clarinets. when a trumpet cant get over the clarinet section, its too many

[@jcob70]

I can't hear the bases and the trumpets and the band needs to be balanced more ( cause sometimes i hear some instruments and sometimes I can't hear any other ones cause others over play over them)

[@laurenhogan1122]

wayyyy too many clarinets. nothing was on tempo, low brass sounds like they’ve never emptied their water key, trumpets are so off tempo. we’re playing this right now and i’m a trumpet. the pencil part was really off tempo too.. it just sounded like a bunch of random banging on the stands.

[@thecollecter1062]

The tomb sounds off beat

[@lolhi6260]

LOL DID THE SNARE DRUM PLAYER FORGET TO TURN THE SNARE OFF

[@eusiqi6542]

On?

[@extraordinarystreamer2634]

They burly have a low brass

[@derpface322]

This was really bad and they really messed a lot

[@madalenalopez9297]

Ang2004 Molina I know this is so bad. Why would they let an elementary school ever play this song. The dynamics are horrible. The tempo is messy. The overall performance is messy to be honest.

[@andrewnyangani1679]

Madalena Lopez it’s actually 3rd grade special education

[@enriquehernandez2787]

IT HELLA LOOKS LIKE THEY'RE FAKING IT
