[@halwaffles]

This brings me back to 6th grade, (beginning band), when we played this. It was fun! Edit: seems like this is a popular song for bands to play. It kind of blows me mind, since I'm now in my second year of college. It's been two years since I've graduated and stopped band, and I kind of miss it on some occasions. It's nice hearing from those still in band!

[@dasanitasteslikedookie]

I was a transfer student and on Thursday (when I am typing this) I am going to be playing Comet Ride, Cruesin Bluesin, and the Tenth Planet, and I had no clue how to play any of it, but now I do

[@_wood_sorrel]

I was supposed to play snare on this piece in 6th grade band, then covid happened... It's been 6 years and it's nice to revisit. I remember that although I was given the snare part because I was first chair I still struggled. But after 6 years the snare part sounds really easy to me now. It reminds me how much I've improved even despite never getting to perform this piece. Since then I've played much harder things and me 6 years ago would've never imagined getting this far!

[@oompaloompa7150]

I WAS the trumpet! It was fun

[@kylie6645]

I am too😖

[@loganthompson5539]

My band teacher was smart enough to put the trumpets in the front during practice

[@classicrockfansam3639]

Not as bad as being right in front of the crash symbol... makes me jump every time especially when he decides to play that for warm up time

[@slide2926]

Trombone parts are the best. It makes you feel like you are actually part of the song, cause everyone has the medley and you are just the background, and you actually get to play it at a certain part in the song. Also, I don’t think trigger trombones will help with this one. ;-; Thanks Mr. Markoplis (idek how to spell his name) for letting us Concert Band students of District 143 play this song. Lol he probably won’t read this at all.

[@crystalzz9237]

FreedomDiveSkeps yeah I’m in 6th now and we playing me and and my friend have trigger trombones

[@_wood_sorrel]

There's only one trombone in my band😂

[@KolasMusicPlayground]

Trombones add power and confidence to a song, trombones are essential.

I’m a trombone player and this is so true

[@ItachiFan137]

That's awesome to hear! 🎶 It's great when you find a piece that's not only enjoyable but also feels just right for your instrument. What specific aspects of the trombone part do you find the most fun? Any particular sections that stand out to you? Keep rocking that trombone, and enjoy every note of the performance! 🎺😊
