[@iisummonedsun4091]

The other middle school in my town got to play this for their spring concert

[@pantasticalcat]

One of the reasons that I PERSONALLY think that band is better (just an opinion, please don't reply saying 'OMG ORCH IS WAY BETTER') is that we get to dance when we play! During this song and many others, the entire saxophone section (me too!) in the top band in middle school dance randomly! Us four like to plan it out, but it's so much fun and when we played for the elementary kids, we were dancing all over the place! My little sister said that everyone was talking about us.

[@kelliwilloughby9224]

Band is soo much better I agree
