Counting Stars arranged by Matt Conaway

[@franklinwilcox75]

We played this song for a tribute for a kid who passed away, who played on our high school basketball team. We slowed it down and it was so magical. I couldn't even see my music from the tears.

We play this exact arrangement and the rhythms are a bit weird at times but it sounds great! (Also I knew that the trombones were playing something wrong in this!)

[@ZWood-if4lk]

This arrangement, which I found last year, my first year of marching band, in which I had more fun and good times than I'd had in my life, makes me feel so nostalgic now... but the coronavirus has taken it all away. We've only gone to 4 home games, and that's all we're gonna go to- yesterday was our last one. It feels like it was merely the second. I know that, a year ago, I would've thought I was crazy to be nostalgically missing marching band so, but... Even though it was a lot of work and pretty tough sometimes, especially during the summer heat, it was so much more fun than I realized. It actually made me feel special, to be included in something unique. Our band was rather small, but we all tried our best. And we had so much fun. Our low brass may have just been a duo, as was the trumpets and saxophones, but I feel like, due to that fact, we grew closer than we would have if it was bigger. It was kind of like a family. We are still small but progressively getting larger as more people join. How I wish we could've had the chance this year to do all the fun activities like competitions that we did last year. Oh...I'm rambling again. Hmph... Music really does highlight memories, doesn't it? ... Stupid coronavirus... Why did to have to be this way? Why...? When will it go back again? When will it be normal and not suck? When...? Or... Will it, at all??
