your band director is a saint for choosing this song. If I don’t get this for a marching season I might seriously quit band

[@707s_robotcat4]

As an ONLY French hornist, in a 120 person band, the horn parts are truly amazing. I have always been insecure and scared to play my parts in songs, but with this song, it’s almost like it disappeared. This is the best piece I have ever played. Playing my parts out felt surreal. Whoever made this I love you ❤️😂

[@dyslexicape4249]

I have always felt this with French horn and I got offered the part today now I think I’ll take it

[@juliamccue]

I'm playing this piece and I'm the only Horn in my class period, but there's 2 others in my band. I've always been scared to play loud in case I was wrong and worried that the teacher would dislike me because I'm not perfect, but I feel so at peace when I'm playing this. Also French Horn is the best!

[@anaa6573]

I just picked up the horn and I have been playing Tuba for awhile and I play Tuba for symphonic winds and I play for Symphonic band as horn and I am not aloud to be in 2 bands so my band teacher just gave me a big folder of songs that I have to play in 6 weeks for a concert and they don’t have a horn player in the band right now so all the pressure is gonna be on me if I mess up because the band is smaller so if I mess up everyone will know and I just picked it up like 1 month ago so the pressure is on me hard.

[@pachho808]

The original score for the How to Train your Dragon had 12 horns in a 23 person brass section

I love this music. the music from httyd is so amazing because it gives the spotlight to some instruments who never really get the spotlight, (horns, kinda low brass, and definitely the woodwinds/clarinets/flutes), I'm just confused why the trumpets don't get to have much of the melody or don't get the spotlight. they normally do. but still this song makes horns feel more special. 😊😁

I've been wanting to play this peice ever since I've gotten good at playing the flute, which was my seventh grade year at junior high. Its been two years, I'm now a freshman, and my band teacher wants us to play it at our first concert, I'm very excited, even if it is difficult and has a lot of triplets.

I played this as a part of a 12 person ensemble, I played French horn and trumpet one, I basically just played French horn where I'd usually be resting, and I did the opening on it, then switched to trumpet for the other parts. It was really fun in such a smaller group.

[@patrickherta6394]

We are playing this!!!! Finally!!!

[@Starestaller-uu6mi]

The flutes do so well in this. Im loving the really fast part

[@frannklyyn]

[@frannklyyn]

Jacob Picking welp ok

[@TxRxAxP]

lmao

[@ghost8459]

I play the French horn. Btw it is the FRENCH HORN!

[@aysarmarzuqi]

French horn is in F..... So it is a *type* of F Horn. There's also F Alto Horn to in existence~

[@mikey1305]

Have you ever studied your instrument history? The Horns we play and refer in America to as "French Horns" are actually German in origin. The French also made horns, but they use piston valves and are small bored.

[@larrychandler2173]

Love the trumpet solo👌

[@Sunnysheis]

playing this as a horn was the biggest blessing; it was so much fun

[@annnabobanna]

We're playing this for our band concert Tuesday and I'm so hyped I absolutely adore this song

[@andyguevara8929]

Horn piece will always bring me great happiness and tears of joy.

[@subarashi4712]

this is my childhood... IM SO HAPPY TO BE PLAYING THIS AT THE CONCERT THIS YEAR 😭

[@datmangotho9618]

I remember in 7-8th grade hearing my highschool wind ensemble play this and just.. completely being in awe. I looked up to them so much and now I’m a junior in wind ensemble! I feel terrible tho lol I’m not nearly as good as the saxophones were back then.. I really wish we had the opportunity to play this!

[@Candace101fan]

1:12-1:20 Flute solo. 😉 I adore this part. I would LOVE to do it.

[@aaliyahcolby8249]

Candace 101 fan omg trust me it’s so much fun to play

[@matthews.693]

Dreams sometimes come true

[@bummer8631]

Played this song for my spring concert last year, boy do I miss this😢

[@superiorcatapult]

Do I know you?

[@AmeliaGrindstaff]

this was the theme for our marching band show! ❤

[@louisgarcia2415]

Dude the day my band director announced we were playing this I internally screamed. Trumpets are amazing.

[@Panic_Pickle]

This has been so helpful for practising, learning the piece with my school band and I love it :)

[@rubenmoons7457]

i can plug my phone in my drum so i can play along

[@sameena6960]

Amazing! We just started practicing this in our year 7 band but all we hear is alto’s and even when the conductor tells them to be quiet, they overpower the entire band lol.. I loveee the flutes and trumpet parts

[@Emma-be8fh]

NerfThis Mercy! Lol in my band we have 1 alto sax me! Lol

[@sameena6960]

Em Mey wow its the complete opposite in our band lol

[@angelanguyen3372]

I know what you mean, in my music class there were like 17 altos most of them just played normally, around 8 trumpets but only 3 really played, 3 trombones, 3 tenors but really only me and this other dude played, 1 baritone, 10 clarinets only like 6 played, maybe 5 flutes really only like 3 played, 2 tubas rea`lly only 1 played, and 2 basses which always messed up lol, and all we heard were altos. They always overpowered, I don't if it's just me but other than altos for some reason we have something against altos.

[@TwistedCind3r]

This was the first ever song I got to play as a high schooler and I will always cherish it

[@mightywizard5036]

Going to be playing this as a freshman. Super excited!

[@Ace-gg2el]

I love how even though at measure 14 a lot of woodwinds have the same part as trumpet and you only hear trumpet same with the measures after, you only hear trombone and trumpet 0:37

[@Meerkat_209]

Playing both bassoon and bari sax on this piece. The low woodwind part is so fun

[@amylu266]

Why can't the trumpets in our band be as good as this.

[@loganbeaumont2490]

Played this last year for class, best band song ive ever played. Period

[@austin3454]

played this for our junior year band concert, love this piece
