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.

One of the best marching band arrangements I’ve ever heard

[@izyreadsbooks5735]

I love when us alto sax’s get a little bit of a challenge. Putting in patterns that take a little work to get used to. Because once you play it correctly you get so satisfied with yourself.

[@lovelexie1945]

I absolutely LOVE when horns and flutes have the melody together! It’s such a warm and pretty sound!

[@totallynotabot7562]

Where my fellow horns at? Finally, we get a good mix melody and harmony, instead just playing some 3rd part harmony the entire time!

[@dannypeaslee1789]

I play the trombone and I say is great i normally play 1st trombone for all my songs but would not hurt for a 3rd trombone to bring lower tone to brass

[@mr.incredible6276]

A third trombone is a bass trombone, so it should copy the tuba's part.

[@inactivechannel1945]

I can play 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. It really depends on what my instructor wants me to do. I normally play first tho
