Sounds like you’re the only person who practiced 💀

[@EmileighE]

Lol, totally

[@AltoBariSax]

What about those Altos?? I played this 2 years ago and lemme tell you that part can get hard lol

[@Baby_LampShade]

Played this last year as an alto and it can be very challenging

[@Yuri_VT]

Fr thooo😂😂

[@tbspf]

The bass clarinets sounded fine

[@fourp0ds78]

THE TRUMPETS ARE OUT OF TUNE IM GONNA CRYYY AAAAAAAAAA

You’re out of tune

[@jonizockt7166]

Everything is

[@ILoveHighNotes]

Clarinets...😭😭😭

[@Nynodon]

Trumpets out of tune. Horns missing partials. Basically all woodwinds out of tune. Yep. Sounds like high school middle band

I think it didn't sound TOO bad I mean wonderful flute playing the solo was filled with good tone and great musicality but you can tell somebody didn't practice over in the brass

[@composerbrooke3298]

OMG IKR, and as a horn player, all those horn solos made me cry, because they're really not hard if you just PRACTICE

Same is happening in my band if your not gonna practice at least sound good 😒

[@dulce_dragonesa2966]

My school concert band played this piece last year, and my conductor let me play it with them (im in wind ensemble, which is more advanced) because i had requested it. Nearly cried on stage. HTTYD has been my favorite orchestral work for years, and I’d been waiting to play it since I was in 6th grade. Last year in 11th I fulfilled my dream. He even put together string parts for it so the younger strings could make it a full orchestra. I’m so happy to see other people playing this arrangement, or even just these scores. They’re breathtaking all these years later just the same as when I first watched the movie and fell in love. Awesome playing ❤

[@_.romaamor._]

Awww I love this

[@zenanli7543]

we had to play this in symphonic band in 8th grade last school year and this is one of the songs that gets played over and over. I get it, it sounds pretty good, but it gets annoying

[@hxau9896]

Im in 7th and I’m in wind assemble cause of our program and I’ve been requesting this song for so long, also because I love this song and reminds me of the movie that as a kid I loved so much, this song give me goosebumps.

AWEEE I WANT TO LEARN IT NOE

[@matthewfarquhar6962]

My band doesn’t get to play movie pieces/ famous pieces

I loved that you included the sheet music on the bottom of the screen, made it really neat and easy to follow. Truly a wonderful piece, one of my favourites to play👍

[@_.romaamor._]

Glad you liked it!

Percussion was spot on loved it

[@thetheoryofphantomsdelta2779]

my schools percussion was so bad, they made me (a tuba player) fill in some parts, and now im doing mallets :)

Whenever I'm in band I'm the ONLY one who picks up my pencil and takes notes on my sheet and it makes me feel so embarrassed. Thank you for showing your own music; love to see that some other people actually do too!!

[@Caff-pv8fg]

dont be embarrassed, I am personally embarrassed that I'm to lazy to pull it out.

[@grbwbb689]

@@Caff-pv8fg Thanks 😂

[@o.l.l.i.i]

don't be embarrassed! my audition music was half pencil and half actual notes. writing on your music is good!

[@LuciusLucius]

people who write on music sheets are usually the ones who improve, write and circle anything if it helps prevent mistakes

[@anapplepie306]

i’d much prefer that people take notes when they know they don’t know a part than play the wrong notes loudly

[@marije179]

As a trumpet player, I find it interesting to see what other instruments plzy. Not once have I heard the flutes play all these little arpeggios. Maybe bc we play too loud lol idk. But anyways it's fascinating

[@noahhomyak9477]

Sadly you don't hear us play it because it's too difficult to play confidently 😭

[@marije179]

@@noahhomyak9477 Aww:((

[@Three-Moonwatchers]

As a flute we do play oddly fast arpeggios A LOT

[@elixheartz]

real shit, the trumpet section and the flute section are on COMPLETE OPPOSITE sides of our set and i sit in the seat thats furthest away, so the only time i can really hear them is when we arent playing, and even then its a struggle bc theres a whole army of clarinets. 😭😭😭

[@AbelAlemu-uy5il]

As a horn player, 2:05 hurt me physically and spiritually. 😭💀

[@Mik31998]

goofy ahh horns

[@spruceboybuilds4003]

You killed that solo!

[@zh4172]

i too am a flute and we tried to play this at my school towards the end of 8th grade year, as something fun to do until the year ended, but no one wanted to play it except for the front row (I'm a flute) so my band directors gave up. However, the entire front row proceeded to learn their parts anyway and now we all still know it to this day, and play it during band before warm ups

[@nicolasgarcia2306]

I played the full orchestra version of this arrangement a little over a year ago. I also had the melody at 0:43 on cello and it nearly killed me every time we played it lol

[@Xavywavyyy]

YES !!

[@ThePikminMaster6523]

As a bass clarinetist, they did very well! It's hard to articulate down low. Awesome job on the flute solo!

[@obojud]

However, as a Oboe, I died.

[@MidnaTwilight-od2ee]

I know! But I believe that the higher notes where even more challenging

[@nataliecoon6984]

Glad to see people are still playing this music. Makes me feel old. I remember playing this piece in seventh grade band on the flute - that was about 9 years ago now. Y’all rocked it, and you especially have a lot of potential on that flute!

[@olliek6709]

bro the percussion went so hard, as a percussionist i am so proud

[@Ilovekneecaps]

That horn duet part was painful 😢 they were NOT in sync

[@GoofyIvanVR]

The HORNS werent in sync

[@Kesthechicken]

I’d like to apologise on behalf of all oboes for the really squeaky oboe/ slightly sharp I can hear lol. there’s always one in every high school orchestra. Also the horns sound pretty good :]

[@NikkiNuts-vy2gy]

Literally it sucks because people don’t really know how pretty oboe can be be because of the goose sound bad players make😭

[@no_enerji]

Got this in my recommendations and upon hearing the first note I paused to grab my own flute to sight read along

[@skyhover.2]

As someone playing this song right now in band at school I feel this helped. Great work on the flute

[@_.romaamor._]

thank youuu, hope you have fun with it :)

[@domingaelizarde9185]

You are really good at flute.

[@IHaveABetterCaneThanYouLUCIFER]

As a flute player hearing the flute out of tune is making my head hurt 😭 (ontop of the other instruments being out of tune too)

[@Froggie-draws]

My band played this last year and it was a hot mess until the night of the concert. We couldn’t decide on a saxophone soloist so that was a fun 10 minutes of arguing

[@moonfirestudios5741]

This is probably the best level my concert band can get to if we ever played this piece

[@victormainetti386]

knew from the first chord it'd be straight fire

[@anthony-ud4to]

Oh God that's messy (beginning atleast) Later on: Dang those horns are struggling

Tuning. Your band director needs to tune y’all and teach y’all to tune

[@annedelissen5639]

We’re playing this piece to right now. As a oboe player and a HTTYD fan, I love it!

[@firebird4269]

I love this piece and am also an oboist but can't find the oboe part. Do you happen to have a link to it? P.S the oboe in this recording is... interesting...

I'm a cellist in a youth symphony that's playing this exact piece right now, it's so cool to hear from a flutes perspective!! :)

[@eelitsss]

"how many times have you seen this?" me: "yes."

[@crimson_rose9563]

As a flute player myself I feel you

[@bennettstouder9849]

The descending triplet thing at the beginning is absolutely awful for the first violins lmao

[@aLitttleLoloBird]

Violins? This is not an orchestra playing..

[@rquijencio1522]

heh? this aint an orchestra

[@ferusskywalker9167]

If it's identical to how it's written here, just do 1st position with extended 4 to hit the Cnat.

[@calcium_deficiencyyy]

​@@aLitttleLoloBirdyou do realize this person probably plays in an orchestra and is playing this song, right? In the original score violin and flute most likely had the same part(and then when it was arranged for concert band violin got taken out) or flutes had something different but whoever arranged this piece for concert band decided that the violin part was more important and gave it to the flutes. Either way this person is talking about the same song, just different arrangements lol

[@bennettstouder9849]

It’s the same thing but for about three measures of it instead of it going to other instruments

[@rquijencio1522]

why am i seeing this rn, its been 7 months, ur so good at flute better than our flutes in my school😎💪

[@bechunter4581]

I did this song in band, and after not playing the flute for most of a year, me playing along (just after going for a run and therefore having sweaty hands) really did sound like the dragon died 😂😂

[@celestethesloth]

my band played this and i swear every time i played the music my flute went from perfectly in tune to unbelievably out of tune

[@kurootetsurou9740]

My school concert band played this for their first concert and it’s safe to say that their dragons went extinct bc out of three trumpets only one was playin 😭😭

[@averagefluteplayer]

The last year I was in concert band, we started playing this and getting it ready for the concert. I had the solo, and then like a week before the concert our band director took it out because he thought we didn’t work on it enough (to be fair 2/3rds of the class didn’t) but I worked on that solo so hard :(

[@mckinzeenelson137]

I played this when I was in 8th grade but I had to suffer because they lost the part for my instrument… So me, a baritone saxophone player had to read a E-flat bass clarinet part that I couldn’t even get low enough for some of the notes. (I was very sad and disappointed, I was looking forward to playing it) :(

[@ari_alpha8146]

I just checked the instrument, it’s actually an e-flat alto clarinet

[@Starkidfan27]
