[@XENSION3528]

tpt 1 or 2?

[@lilabauer1877]

i’m a senior now and this was the first song we ever actually played at a concert so we revisited it & it was so much fun

[@AsielLucial]

As one that has played this song in two of my grades. I have a few minor issues. The tempo for this song is a bit too slow and they need to go up a few tempos in the beginning. The rest is alright other than the slight delay for some of the inertuments. I am a 9th grader and I'm happy to see that Comet ride has made it so into 2019-2021. Besides these minor issues, this is a great masterpiece for the young ones of just entering middle school! I was once in this league and I hope sixth graders now in band can improve like we did.

[@tizomizz]

I believe that the slow tempo at the beginning is to mimic what happens before sighting a comet, or a shooting star. Not the entire song should've been fast-paced, which is why measures 0-8 are slower than the rest.

[@Telberi]

@@tizomizz Agreed.

[@sweetheartsdeath]

@@tizomizzyes thats correct.

[@PIXELAT3]

idk why but i love the part at the end with the saxophones going over the trumpets

[@David-ql8cn]

[@triplefilleddonuts4142]

That's what I thought! Haha

[@sazsafrazs4641]

I do that. Everyone thinks I'm weird

[@tomahawkmoegames320]

[@oliviagrisso8185]

I'm playing this in my band concert Thursday

[@friesianrider4606]

I swear. The band can never get the "sshhhhh" right. They say "SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP" instead, which always makes us laugh, so you can imagine what the concert was like.. but they said ssshhh. When we were playing, the audience clapped, thinking the song was over. I always think the "ssssshhhhhhh" part was meant to make the audience think the song is over, then shush them as a clue that the song was over.

[@laurenannrayburn3439]

This is what song my 5th grade child is doing

[@diamondflowers5968]

with us we play the piano too and with the “shhhh” part everyone would always look at me and another girl cuz we were the only people playing and they would look at us and shout “SHHHHHHHHHHHHHH” like they were trying to say” SHUT UP AND STOP PLAYING”

[@cammejia5665]

They have such good tone

[@IraSonawane]

OK obviously all you haters down there have NEVER been to the Fowler Band Hall, because if you did, you'd see the amount of trophy's that "informal foot tapping" got us.

[@jacquelinepina6190]

I suck at this song, I hate me life. I'm the worst trombone out of 36 trombones, I feel bad for myself.

[@hellokitty98011]

It was good but the clarinets could have done a bit more crescendo and de crescendo on the slow part! All in all it was really good :))

[@TheKrabGamer]

To be fair everyone hates having to play crescendo and de crescendo so can you blame them for not doing it.

[@liminallimbo001]

+The Krab Gamer lol you mean "can't" lol

[@mady4117]

[@lovelylife234]

Mr.Wimpykid true

[@amberlilly1899]

ugh dont tap ur shoe that looks so bad also there lack of proper uniforms is unformal

[@lukethewalrus7555]

Amber Lilly Hey idiot, if you've ever played an instrument in a school band, then you were probably most likely taught to keep time with your foot

[@secondri7121]

Amber Lilly it's middle school, they're taught to tap their foot. As for the uniforms, once again its middle school, don't expect them to come in fancy business casual.

[@NightEcho]

Luke The Walrus very true im in band and they tell us to tap our foot even in concert to keep with the tempo. Also uniforms dont really matter for us all we have to wear is a navy blue shirt and kaki pants

[@soulcollector7141]

What do you mean "Ugh" I have to tap my foot as well, exactly as everyone else said, it keeps our tempo .-. as for uniforms, a white button shirt and black pants owo

[@tylergervasio3726]

dont hate its not your channel
