[@bhargav305]

I had to frickin rip my heart out as a solo tuba-ist in this piece. Thanks John Williams, my lungs are now scarred.

[@AntonioBrownsNeurosurgeon]

I KNOW RIGHT As a fellow tuba player, the songs fun, but there’s no break from how loud you play. Our band also has awful trombones,, so the tubas were given a lot of trombone melodie’s.

[@billanliao1004]

the small trumpet part in 1:53 is just amazing and i love it

[@evannatoli6805]

I love star wars I know all the soundtracks and I suggested this to my band teacher. I'm so happy she took it into consideration and now we're playing it! 8th grade trumpet hopefully this will be fun to play.

[@AntonioBrownsNeurosurgeon]

So fun to play as a tuba player

[@Sportzclipz15]

Our directors wanted us to learn an extra piece that'll only take a week and they chose this, I'm actually super fond of it (I'm a French horn btw)

[@elenechiew9903]

was it hard for u? curious as a fellow horn player haha

[@glockedpr]

I graduated high school and i dearly miss playing this piece in middle school, i wish i had another opportunity to play it again.

[@bellis724]

this is by far the best piece ive ever played in band

[@dunndunn3850]

This music piece was amazing! Although I have no interest in Star Wars, I say It's very powerful and unique. John Williams did a wonderful job of composing this. My middle school band was going to play this entire thing, but it was just too difficult. But I kept practicing my part and listening to this, observing 18 different instruments.

[@annabanana581]

Dunn & Dunn this comment is so old, but I agree!

[@dunndunn3850]

[@aidanj8389]

We’re playing this, I’m in eighth grade, in our symphonic band for our grade school music tour, but my director told us to ignore this piece and focus on our superstate music. I play the alto sax, and I’m second chair, so I usually get first, but my teacher have the first chair and I second. But it’s still fun

:/ Having such a hard time playing this on my flute, it's really not that hard but it's kind of confusing for me since I've never watched a Star Wars movie in my life. I'm just going to start listening to this nonstop. .-. Pray for me people.

[@Third_]

Socially Awkward I'm praying you deprived child... watch them it's worth

[@faroutJadabrick_tomato]

it can be kinda weird and uncomfortable playing a tune you don’t know, but once you keep working at it and listening to recordings, you’ll get it down without a doubt! i know this was a year ago, but if you ever have any troubles with hard parts, play the measures about 50-100 beats slower (depends on the original tempo) and try messing around with the articulation. try cutting out ties or replacing staccatos with tenutos, etc. things like that. hope that helped! :)
