Sitting in the middle of the band section with 800 people playing around us is the most amazing feeling ever

[@elibart5333]

I KNOW

[@alyssadillon1570]

800?????? Where do you go to school? 😂 I have 30 people in my band.

[@skyylind191]

Fellaswhomst bruh we only have 250

[@cruz.c]

800 u lying right... my school has 97 members

[@flagrockerthegreat]

Skyy Lind Keller Central same exact number of members almost.

Most underplayed pep band song right here

[@jennacrowder2694]

Yes

[@davidlafollette6758]

True dat

[@looiethedog82]

Indeed

[@AeryDual]

I promise you, as a trumpet player, this song is great at testing your range, and a hella lot of fun to play

[@plasmayt9411]

Hello fellow trumpet player

[@etwiro1159]

Can confirm

[@perks8813]

Let's go trumpets

[@chaosreactsyt]

as I am a trumpet player also, I can agree with this 😋

[@giannibrown1123]

Bro so true it really tests my range and I have so much fun playing it

[@howtobenerd1019]

At practice today, half the band gathered around in a big huddled mass and began playing this out of nowhere. When someone begins playing and multiple people join them, it is an amazing thing. (Especially when the BD is nowhere to be found!)

[@zmanrockz6358]

My band does stuff like that all the time.

[@abbigailmariejackson2688]

My band tho

[@isaacthenoob1953]

I gotta get the Allen high school band to do that, I'm in that band and getting all 800 members to join in like that would be sick

[@Iceekreme]

The saxophones love doing that in my band 😅

[@PureWar58073]

My BD lets us do this, he just watches as we do it.

[@Dallior]

First trumpet on this is the greatest part of pep band by far.

[@BH28Racing]

I played this for the first time on first part this year for Pep Band and it’s so fun! So glad I got to play first part for this song my Senior year. Definitely one of my all time favorite Pep Band songs we do!

[@nathandietrich8396]

I strongly disagree, first trombone is much better on this song

[@aidendavis2864]

The best part is taking that last rip to an A up an octave

[@chrisstanton1678]

That A kicks my ass 😂

[@shawnee580]

I learned frist trumpet in my freshman year it's by far the best

[@August_69]

My marching band plays this at the end of every football game we win. It's our victory song and it always gets stuck in my head

[@fireball4thewin108]

Lmao one time our band played taps at the losing team. Our bd was pissed.

[@kaitlynlindholm5473]

our victory song was all i do is win last year, but we're not even practicing it this year because we never win :')

[@Odog-Tbone]

Yo same just played it tonight

[@asunayuuki6301]

We play it every game beginning and end even tho we are 0 and whatever. Our football team is trash-

This is the best piece of music my pep band has ever had in my opinion. I have 3rd trumpet but it's badass. Shout out to all my trumpet comrades out there

1st trumpet here. Feels great to nail the high E in measure 47

HeartlessChild I do it is not that hard but some songs you don't want to play it too much

[@mrbank4828]

The double E is hard to hit at 1:23

[@thomasbabik4320]

I have TPT 1 on this; it's actually quite simplistic. The E is simple. I'm only a freshman but I can nail that glissando.

[@cheesedirks7256]

My lips are right there with you

Horn part is good on this one. Lots of stuff nobody else has

[@elderfrost9892]

yeah lol I thought I would be the only French Horn player here.

[@byzantinechild]

Other French Horn player here - the horn part in Holiday is indeed amazing!

[@jennacrowder2694]

Im a horn player as well and when I started playing out (as I am the only one in my band) my body started shaking

[@humanofgoogle4443]

I have finally found my section in the comments of a marching piece. :)

[@ohyeahididthat8547]

It sucks tho when you are having a MB comp and you get the least amount of breath

[@stephaniebennett9809]

This will never leave my memory :') played this for 4 years straight in highschool in my clarinet. We put so much emotion into this song

[@SMFlexxx]

I also played clarinet and remember coming in freshman year with this being my school’s thing. We played this multiple times a game, every game. This was the only sheet music given out at the first day because forget the Star-Spangled Banner, this was what you need to know. The most fun song to play, especially at homecoming when the whole school was there in a college stadium shouting Hey at measure 34. Tons of fun.

[@Purple_Sloth]

0:56 As a pit percussionist, I can guarantee that the most satisfying thing in the world is destroying the whole cymbal at the “Hey!”

[@jordanburkert6208]

You play stand tunes?! At my school we don’t play stand tunes 😐

[@Holidamned]

agreed

[@probablylinguini]

Yes

[@Mellow-mq8sf]

That high CONCERT D. E for Bb instruments. is awesome.

[@literallylysander3444]

I agree source: am a trumpet

[@liamgue5712]

yeah i play trumpet 1 and gosh when you hit that it feels great even thoug afterwards i typically forgot to go back down to a🙃

[@ya_boi2872]

As a trombone yhe first couple times we played this I would always see high nits and get terrified and overshoot, so instead of " D D Bb Bb F F C C" it sounded like "F F D D G G E E"

[@bradsweeney5781]

Can confirm. When you hit it on lead trumpet, its a huge adrenaline pump! And when its in tune its like god cried and it was the trumpets job to help him get better

[@LucasIsHereYT]

It's adorable how quiet they expect saxes to be, honestly, us alto's are up there with the trumpets for being the loudest.

[@brianna-6390]

It’s the way of the saxophone 🤌

[@nekotheanimecat4757]

Saxophone supremacy!!

I wish my band does this song this fall! This is my favorite Green Day!

at BOYD high school it's one of the pep rally songs we play. Sometimes even at games.

at wadsworth it is a stand tune

[@ravensight1]

At QCHS it’s a stand tune

[@justonepepsi8088]

this is fucking awesome

[@meghanmedendorp3257]

my old school band did this (i've changed schools) and we only played it in our literal one marching song. (we only marched once). it was so awesome, except my band wasn't very enthusiastic and fun so it was boring on that behalf, but otherwise it was such an amazing song to play. we didn't play it anymore after that marching thing even though literally the entire band was suggesting we play it. my band director kept on screaming "NO MORE HOLIDAY" in our faces lol

[@katlynhaff5986]

my band gets super excited when we play this

[@hamsteronacomputer6692]

as they should

[@zekecne]

I see why😅

[@ryancarter2959]

Man listening to stuff like this makes me miss college marching band. We did a lot of more simple/fun shows like movie themes, funk, cartoon themes etc

[@zovible]

Our band plays this at 1.25 speed, maybe just a tiny bit slower but about that fast and its fun

So This Is The Best Song I Have Ever Heard In My Entire Life!!!!!!!!! Thanks For Uploadin This Song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It Means A Lot!!!!!!!!

[@darklink64]

We have literally one trumpet in our band (who literally just started playing this year, so they have basically no range), so the director had to give the 1st Alto Saxes the high note. Let me tell you, every time we hit that part of the piece, it's heart pounding. Playing a high E is, for some reason, absolutely exhilarating. Shoutouts to our director for this.

[@dragonteam1684]

The alto saxaphone part is good. My band went thro once and we had a blast.

[@jharuldsmythe]

last year we closed with this and god DAMN did the crowd pop off when we ended

[@emilysipple226]

That feeling when your team wins and in the background, you hear your 300 student marching band rocking out to this to celebrate Best!!! Song!!! Ever!!! #CLARINET#BANDFOREVER#PINERICHLANDMARCHINGBAND

[@isaacthenoob1953]

300 students is a good amount, but Allen high school marching band has about almost 3x that, so rip

[@owenberg3366]

This is so much fun as a trumpet 1, but it wrecks my lips

[@dinoknight6538]

I'm the sole baritone player for the University of Idaho basketball band, this is so much fun to play, you just get caught up in the passion of the song. Also glissando on Baritone sounds really cool but is a good kind of hellish to play. I've played this with nearly a thousand college and high schoolers on the field during football season, and it is truly epic. So many pep songs have so much more heart in them than the song they're based off of.

[@tallysingatsby]

EYYYY GO VANDALS
