[@lilrapfanman]

I remember playing this back in Middle School! Ah, the good old days. First Trombone ftw!!!

[@BanditChan]

[@brentlesser2958]

TUBA FTW

[@shreyasridhar3544]

1st sax I remember playing this in MS summer camp

[@johni.1037]

Played this in seventh grade, absolutely loved it!

[@Bassocontinued]

I love this piece so much. I vividly remember playing it in middle school 7th grade. It really is near and dear to my heart for a lot of reasons... Mainly because I played first chair flute (yes, that beautiful solo) back then and it was the first time I really ever overcame my fears of playing in front of people. I miss playing the flute in ensembles so much ughhhh. Now I'm a bassoon performance major. Lol I'll let y'all guess why I switched in high school. Had to get my free ticket into college somehow ;)

[@Amanda-jv9cc]

David McCafferty I had the flute solo too

[@user-oz4xk1nr3h]

@@Amanda-jv9cc i have it right now too

[@nicholasberghoefer1987]

[@Underpantswher]

I played this in seventh grade band. By far my favorite song we ever played in band

[@Underpantswher]

[@emchevy2011]

I love playin this song so much!

[@musicrules13fly]

[@theluszr]

This song is so Great to play!!!!

[@alynanord4922]

I got to play this at band camp it was so much fun😍😍 I play the Bari sax

[@cateswords]

I play alto and was so excited to actually have the melody in this for a couple bars (bars 54-63)!! This is a pretty epic piece!

[@selkie3]

My 8th grade (middle school) band is playing this song, and I play the flute. This song is so fun!

[@ashleyscheld9167]

I'm playing it in my 7th grade band

[@SuperJalen51]

We're playing this for the writer of this piece, Mr.Jay Bocook himself. He's coming to our campus soon, and I'm ready! :D

[@drakedespain9924]

J Jack how'd it go?

[@beaver181222]

Awesome piece. I play the mallet percussion for the song and it's so cool. Playing it in Sydney for a band trip. Should be epic!!!

[@thebluesylveon6336]

Playing this in seventh and eighth honors band with the original composition ☺️

[@thomasgipson7120]

The bassoon part on this was awesome

[@cadetwafulz]

Great song to play in war based games after victory.

[@takendownbyvelvoc6755]

1st oboe! I loved this at honor band!

[@askhetalia9785]

This is probly the best recording i heard of this it helped me the best at the music and hopefully on Tuesday (concert bands first concert) it will sound awesome as well

[@MarioLuigi593]

I fucking rocked the wood block in this song when I played it . .

[@moyako_woahhhh]

very nostalgic for me

[@shannonchilders4916]

lovelovelove this song! btw the flute solo is the best part :):):)

[@JustHereToCreep]

Btw, there is no flute solo. There's a flute, oboe, and lower instruments and snare drum "solo," but there's not a flute solo.

[@shannonchilders4916]

I understand your point, but on the sheet music it says its a solo...

[@Dominick.wn23]

Katie Childers sure it's not soli by all means?

[@Bassocontinued]

Oh no, Katie you're 100% correct. It is a flute solo. Even with the other instruments playing, they're simply the accompaniment in this case. Even the oboe with the same melody is just support to add tone color. You see it in many, many orchestral works that are sometimes centuries old. Even in those published parts and scores, similar passages with flute, oboe and other instruments accompanying are still marked as "solo."

[@lilabowe734]

I play alto saxophone on this song and even though we're in the background for a lot of the piece I still love it. Measure 23 is my favorite part.

[@user-pp3bd3pv4p]

I play the trumpet! Number one baby!!!

[@thehockeyfreak6825]
