Richard Saucedo - Song and Dance

[@parmidataheri8932]

I played xylophone on this piece for my high school concert band, took a while to get the hand of but now I love the part, just a great piece

[@harryli7557]

All those syncopations! So tricky, yet those are what made this piece magical.

[@LowkBandKidOrFadeMacaw]

“Magical” is one way to describe it. Look at French horn parts for a few minutes. That is NOT what I’d call magical. But for the combined band, I agree. Very beautiful piece.

we're playing this at our 8th grade band and it sounds great!! i'm a clarinetist and i love hearing the solos (unfortunately i don't get to play the solo for the clarinet). the only problems that we face are that we only have three trumpets, an overpowered baritone sax player, the french horns and the bassoons are too soft, and we're missing a suspended cymbal part at 0:58 D: i still really like the song though, it's catchy and it has a nice beat B)

+Becki Z. (Zuko) I'm still mad that he held the auditions for highbridge excursions when I wasn't here. And he's doing the flute solos as solis... :(

[@NehaGeorge0304]

+Becki Z. (Zuko) And BTW, we can here you guys in the chorus room and it's AMAZING!!!!

[@BeckiZ]

THANKS!!! and i'm so sorry to hear that D:

[@gabrielacholak4165]

Im playing this in a month in 9th grade band, im a percussionist, but i really like the trumpet parts for this one

[@saminaimran84]

I played snare for my middle school wind symphony, its such a fun song to play

[@rickadriano675]

Playing this song for our concert and it's so much fun. I'm playing the bass clairnet part

[@incinduis]

I'm playing this at my school. I'm a freshman in high school. It's so fun! I play Tenor Saxophone and I love the solos at 1:10 and 1:33. I play them and they're so much fun. And FayolaCrayola15, I can listen to the low brass gliss all day, too! It's definitely one of my favorite pieces.

[@howardhodgson1484]

I play the Tenor Sax too! I played song about a year ago, and I loved it.

[@patrickhodson8715]

I played those exact solos when I played this back in high school!

[@torchiyaki9104]

Very late but I play tenor saxophone too

[@iankelsey7863]

My favorite part is 1:58 to the end French Horn.

[@harryli7557]

Same here! It sounds so glorius and beautiful.

[@LowkBandKidOrFadeMacaw]

Yooo as a second year french hornist that looks like it’ll be so much fun to play (I have the music in front of me lol) but also the tempo is 😰😰 Time signature legit changes almost every measure and someone’s gonna get a taste of my fists for it. (I’m kidding. The time signature changes aren’t nearly as bad as playing marches… look up French horn parts in marches. It’s so stupid.)

[@aidandelacruz200]

That Wood Block tho

[@toddles_alex9608]

I'm playing flute for this song

[@hbrider79]

I played this song for district three this weekend for band, it was totally awesome. :D but the ride symbol was loud because I was playing the suspened symbol that was right next too it. but it still sounded awesome.

[@FayolaCrayola15]

My favorite part is when the low brass gliss at 2:32!!! It sounds so cool!

[@Cinuity]

I played this for my 8th grade spring concert, :’)

[@cable_tv7537]

Don't get me wrong, I love this piece, but I don't really think the title fits. :/

[@rickadriano675]

Same. When I first saw this I honestly thought it would be some Indian Bollywood or some type of jungle themed song

[@LowkBandKidOrFadeMacaw]

So real. This title would be more fitting: “Song That Nobody Should Dance to Because the Horns Have a Glissando at Measure 116 and Horns Shouldn’t be Able to do a Gliss but OHHHH NO, They NEEDED the Horns to do That Bullsh!t”

[@noahjezyk]

i played the tuba very fun yes

[@Urolling]

Yes, very fun and relaxing song to play. Usually in most other songs at my school, the baritones are the ones people need to hear. 😅

[@LowkBandKidOrFadeMacaw]

2:32 alright chat how the ACTUAL FVCK are FRENCH HORNS supposed to GLISSANDO??!! (I have my sheet music and istg someone is gonna taste my knuckles. Ofc I’m kidding but I’m still mad) *EDIT-* nvm one of the peeps in my section told me… I’m still not looking forward to it 😅
