Don't Stop Me Now by Freddie Mercury/arr. Matt Conaway

[@lukiepookie7037]

The trombone solos on this one are insane! I hope we get to play this soon.

[@dustynmcmaken]

i feel like going to the directors house waking him up and begging him to do this song

[@oliviapetrowski4553]

*me going to Mr. Ziegler’s (band director) house at 3 AM* Me: “Mr. Ziegler.” Mr. Z: “What...it’s 3 in the freaking morning. Why are you in my house?” Me: “I found another awesome pep band song.” Mr. Z: “Again?” Me: “Yes. We have to play it.” *plays song* Mr. Z: “Talk to me in class about it tomorrow.”

[@liorschifrin]

Olivia Petrowski did this happen?

[@briannaspencer9169]

You should definitely do it, this piece is so much fun

[@addictionsucks8848]

Same

[@andrewmiller2429]

Olivia Petrowski I know this is supposed to be in jest but knowing band students (bass trombonist and music ed major). I can distinctly see this. You forgot one part though: “Wait... why are you in my house at 3 AM?” @The trumpets swiped your keys and made copies for emergencies such as this.” (Stated in complete seriousness as if the norm). “For some reason I always thought low brass would resort to this.” “They’re actually raiding your fridge right now.”

[@Lasang114]

I'm playing this tomorrow night on the field, I just can't wait!

[@emmalonnie6244]

Same but this year and I spin XD

[@schloob]

1:25 and on is so good. I love listening to these marching pieces.

[@d3miden]

TROMBONES!!!!!!!!!!!!! OH YEAH!!!!!!!👍👏👌💪👌👏👍

[@TheRobloxianOfTheWorld]

Dennis Kokhanovskiy they go really well with tenor sax

[@braxtonmontgomery6667]

Heck yeah. My band played this for half time this year and I was on first part for trombone. It was awesome

[@ash_outcastsofsuburbia]

I will move to your school. I would GLADLY play this. Wait, I am. This is going to be used in a concert :P

[@alley.rose26]

Oml can I come? Ill play extra loud and then Ill leave. I promise Ill do good. Tenor sax that has the same part as trombones (pretty much). 😂😂😂

I’ll bring my bari sax and read the trombone part to this and play extra loud

[@juicesodant]

its not even that loud

[@hermishmer]

Okay out of the entire years selection of music, THIS MASTERPIECE has the *BEST* percussion part out of all of them. I don't know how engaging or hard it is as I'm a trumpet player but the part at 1:23 is so invigorating to hear while blasting this song at a football game. Bravo Jack Holt for arranging the most badass percussion part for a badass song.

[@anonymousmuffin956]

I know this is 3 years later but yeah, I had to learn this freshman year snare drum, it was incredibly difficult. The tenor part is not any easier, either. Definitely my favorite percussion piece in any single marching band song.

[@Acr0nixs]

@@anonymousmuffin956 last year i was a snare player and im not gonna lie this is really easy for snare, tenor part is decently difficult though

[@emilypotato3461]

WE ARE PLAYING THIS FOR THE NEXT FOOTBALL SEASON AND IM SO EXCITED ♥️♥️♥️

[@youichiminagawa2554]

So I live in a small rural town where, believe it or not, funeral processions are usually accompanied with a hired marching band. I can imagine this being played at my funeral (no offense meant to the creators), where the first part is where they're carrying my casket out of the church so it's all sombre and slow. But once we're out, hell yeah it's party time! I want it lively enough to make people in the neighborhood come out of their houses and watch the procession and just have fun. Coz it'll be my last hurrah, so don't they dare stop me now! :)

[@sweetestcyanide]

Youichi Minagawa That sounds awesome!!! You bet my funeral is going to have Queen playing.

[@kaykay-xp9gm]

Erik Hermanson At least you don’t have to remember where to place your fingers on the violin, viola, cello, or bass. Orchestra is a lot harder because if our fingers are just a little bit off the whole note is wrong.

[@kaykay-xp9gm]

TheMrCream ‘ You try playing a string instrument and see how “easy” it is. Once you do you can say something

like you end it at the trumpets last note
