[@mr.clickbaiter8607]

Ah. Memories of a time long passed. I was but a wee lad, would have been about 4 years ago now. Played this song with my fellow percussionists and we played this song with amazing passion and excitement. Those were the days of grand band teachers and amazing enthusiasm. Such amazing hunger for music at such an early age. I feel old. 👴👴

[@Loudbigmouth]

Hey do you have any tips for playing snare for this song

[@zzzzoz22]

I love how serious this comment is 💀

[@kellankirby-b1t]

bro types like an old person too 😭your like 25 max bro

[@skybrineplays4110]

god its been ages since i heard this piece! Im so glad i found it again, its one of my all time favorites!

[@MrCamerononicus]

Me too. Played it in 1993 in middle school. I still think it sounds great!

[@aichitran2341]

The recorder part is so beautiful! I love humming and playing it

[@prot0z0a]

the trumpet at 15 tho... loved playin that

[@xxnelliexx]

Yeah i had 6 measures of rest XD but the trumpets seemed to love it

[@LeahDatCat]

I remember playing this for my All-County concert in the 7th grade. I am a senior now.

[@roderickli6505]

wtf

[@epeekerr8067]

Im in 7th playing this lol

[@roderickli6505]

cant be talking u piece of trash im assuming leah cat made all county in 7th grade and had a clinic and for 3 days im guessing they prepared the piece and performed it while u on the other hand is just play the piece in a normal school and probably took some months to prepare

[@measypeasy]

Ah grade nine... three years ago. I loved playing this one. It's awesome when you're on the drums because we put the speed up quite a bit and it was crazy and intense. Except we didn't have a recorder solo because my teacher had a vendetta against them. I think it was a clarinet that played the part or some other type of flute.

[@paulaell9088]

I can't believe I found this music. I played it in Jr high over 20 years ago and had the recorder solo. We won our festival that year. I've thought about this piece ever since. It was one of my favourite pieces of music we ever played

[@TheDStar4]

Played this in concert band on tenor sax 14 years ago. The intro was epic! Felt like you were back during that time.

[@legendarynicogaming9917]

I loved playing this song 3 years ago

[@JustKayden_YT]

I first played this song when I first joined the band, and as a trumpet player, this was beautiful.

[@Evelyn_onfire]

we played this at our concert. By far my favorite song we played! Clarinet squad were you at?!!

[@katyfear4082]

ME! Just finished our concert with this song less than a werk ago

[@arianna_lynn]

Right here!

[@av3rage529]

Love this song sm, reminds me of my middle school band Bc we played this, simpler times man:/ ~ Trombone Dude

[@sophsabelli3000]

This was one of my high school’s festival pieces last May in Toronto. It was so much fun to play on flute!

[@user-nb4kj4hj1w]

[@ethancampbell3266]

[@Soul_Tune1]

[@LoopcrateAudio]

Played this freshman year on Bass Clarinet. I’m 24 now. Have now idea why my brain dug up this random memory but I’m glad I decided to find this video. Major nostalgia.

[@birchtree334]

This sound like it was written by Studio Gibbly! (They made Ponyo, Howl's Moving Castle, Spirited Away, and my Neighbor Totero)

[@imtired9688]

YES

[@graycea_5]

Our band is playing this osng this year, and I got the recorder solo. It's going to be really fun to play

[@katewarren8160]

I’m in grade 5 and my teacher is making us do this for are concert! It’s a very fun peace coming from a flute 😄

[@EthanVanHMusic]

[@chaeyoung4074]

Taemi P Me to

[@HelloooThere]

Start one

[@dlhayasan]

Woow!! Played this in 7 to grade. Over 20 years ago!!!

[@I_Wish_I_Was_Home]

now I NEVER heard an orchestra for Native American Indian style type of music, and I gotta say, I like the "Greatest American Hero" and 70's - 80's tv show and the sports tv and Native sound it has to it. Nice!

[@BillB3737]

Used to play this on trombone in grade 8 band, was so terrible that the teacher agreed to pass me and my 2 friends as long as we never signed up for band again😅 but I had a lot of fun with this song and will always remember it.

[@Batsweep]

Every time we play this song in class, I feel bad for interrupting the beautiful recorder solo. I'm a trumpet and have to do the "do do do do dodo dOODO dodo" part. I cant help but close my eyes during that part and imagine im in the forest

[@bridgetbehrens6670]

I remember when we did this, the trumpets had the hardest time with they’re part at 15, but me on my clarinet at home could replicate it perfectly and it was kinda funny, but I still respect them.

[@jaxgradinscak9037]

I’m playing this in my High School band

[@saleamunoz4618]

we are heading to mpa with this piece along with another, I'm a flutist and we play the solos :) wish us luck!!

[@annarupa6471]

Same

[@koyovibxr]

i was given the flute solo and im excited but nervous bc my band is going to play in front of judges and other bands edit: it went greaT

[@1000-years-s9c]

I am currently playing this piece in symphonic band.

[@morticuskhan9266]

we played this in district honor band, tuba part is best, i can confirm.

[@apkfaultz2637]

We were going to be playing this but almost all the other kids said it was, "Too hard to play." I really wanted to play this incredible piece. Oh well maybe next year. 🎼🙂🤔

[@garethbevan1835]

F in the chat

[@whipping_squad9388]

[@toucan1919]

[@totallytechalicious]

I'm playing Alto Sax in this song in my concert band :)

[@dogman2793]

I got this piece about 2 weeks ago and i honestly regret not practicing it right away because i have a concert on saturday (it's tuesday) and im not very confident. Especially because im not going to play with my regular band.

[@rosemarie5640]

Haha playing this at school French horns where you at?

[@trisphine4842]

Yes! French horns for the win (always forgot about) 😂

[@ngrayson]

Played this in 8th grade, the recorder feature goes hard

[@dark_musician02]

I played this arrangement in 8th grade with my trumpet, but I moved on with my clarinet.

[@Soul_Tune1]

I play this next week in a concert…. Tenor saxophone btw

[@aichitran2341]

Lol we were supposed to play this for oir concert but it got cancelled from the corona thing

[@rolfgeschwind2170]

cool vid. :)

[@user-lu5bc2vn3q]

We don’t have any recorders so now it’s a flute solo in our band.

[@zzzzoz22]

Played this as a break from Kirkpatrick Fanfare in 8th grade.

[@sarahedwards2]

0:45 is WAY too slow at 112, I don't care what the music says. We played it at 136. Those eighth notes can also be conducted in 8/8 mixed meter time (3+3+2, conducted like 3/4 only the first 2 sets of 8th notes are triplets) and it will still work.

[@nukihowlter5058]

Sarah Edwards I mean the music says 112 so that the original tempo but your band played it much faster for some reason...

[@Hevonen55]

Sarah Edwards the music is the correct speed, your band played it too fast. I played this in 7th grade for one of our concert pieces and we played how it was wrote and we got gold with distinction which is the highest rank you can get

[@Paul-hx3me]

yeah I agree my band also did it faster

[@littlebits8813]

It might but no

[@xzc55]

Clarinet where are YOU?

[@xzc55]

I guess no one play clarinet... :(. Lonely.....

[@BreathingHurts]

I play trumpet.. when I was in junior band everyone used to hate the clarinets.

[@xzc55]

why?

[@BreathingHurts]

They play like dying cats, that's why

[@silverstatehighiron]

Idiot- Sama I'm a clarinet player and I play this tomorrow night! We have almost the same rhythms and lines as flutes.

[@garethbevan1835]

Cool choon

[@rhiannonbevan4216]

Ah.

[@minisush3842]

My band plays this faster (except for the record solo) and in my opinion it makes it much more fun and exciting (If you set the playback speed to 1.25 we go just a tiny bit slower than that)

[@kingcrysanthos]

I was going to play the recorder solo, but then Covid happened hahaha

[@3foxygrandpas634]

Were playing this at my school I play the trumpet

[@chaeyoung4074]

I play this in flute

[@estebanmartinez5558]

We played this in the SCBOBF and got a superior from all the judges so we just didn’t go back to school and went to the mall

[@pauline8044]
