Played this for my last middle school Christmas concert, and boy does it ache. High school band is nothing like middle school band, and listening to the music we used to play is amazing. Middle schools are smaller, so that means more Student-Teacher bonding and leaning in layered and complex ways. You just don't get that in highschool, and it makes me sad. This was such a beautiful piece to get to indulge before leaving adolescence for early adulthood, and it will stay sacred to me.

Our school orchestra played this for the summer concert cause the christmas show got cancelled three times due to covid and huge snow. Played the timpani part, was super fun!!

[@erei-i]

[@georgedummin]

my teacher has got the swing part in "hot chocolate" on the drumset, I somewhat have it down, but I'm having trouble coming up with an interesting drumset part.

[@lisagillon4056]

Is it a piccolo's part ?

[@OGCBxGrub]

no SAXOPHONES?!!! WHAT WERE YOU THINKING

[@celeste9549]

This is a string orchestra..

[@obinnanwakwue5735]

It's a full orchestra, which usually doesn't have saxophones. But I bet altos could transpose and play the horn part

[@marketmadden8351]

Obinna Nwakwue orchestras should have saxophones though

[@musik350]

@@marketmadden8351 No, they shouldn't

[@marketmadden8351]

RDVMusic why not? The alto saxophone blends perfectly just like the French horn

[@thedarksun2148]

You can't just replace replace almost all parts that were originally from the concert band version with strings which typically makes it so that only strings are required. This is why I like the concert band version better.

[@everardogarcia6047]

These arrangements are meant to be playable with only strings, with the winds and percussion extras.

[@Elle-mm7sq]

i play violin 1. pray for me

[@interstellar9056]

same... it's all fun until measure 120 lol

[@LegendaryFrxst_Drxgon]

It’s not that bad if you start measure 120 in third position. (I’m also violin 1)
