Sleigh Ride - 6th Grade Band

Selections from the 2018 Holman Middle School Winter Band Concert.

[@omg-bz4cp]

As a 6th grade band they sound good, even though they're going slow, it doesn't matter if it sounds good

[@ace3058]

They sound amazing for a 6th grade band!! I haven’t even played sleigh ride in my band yet and I’m in 8th :) but they are such a talented group good for them

[@Epicbot095]

You might in high school but you better hope you don’t if you play the clarinet because the clarinet part seems impossible

[@ace3058]

@@Epicbot095 I play flute and tenor saxophone :) I’ve looked a little bit at sleigh ride for the flute part and it’s seemed really fun for the most part (except the trills 😞)

@@ace3058 LETS GOOOO TENOR SAX ME TOO!!! i really wanted to play a part in the song and i looked up the sheet music and its what i play :) im in 8th grade and we're not playing sleigh ride for winter concert sadly, and the highschool im going to has no band so oh well (i dont really want to try out for all state). hope you get to play sleigh ride someday cause its the ultimate band experience lol

@@bucketofvitamins3637 Aw thank you so much! I haven’t really heard of a high school with no band in a while, I’m so sorry about that :(. But trying out for all state isn’t as horrible as you think it is, I promise you must of it is just nerves leading up to it. If you practice and play with confidence you have a pretty good shot of making it especially in the 7-8th grade age group. I will let you know how all state goes once I actually experience the rehearsals and performance but I would at least consider it as an option :) during the auditions I made a bunch of friends and everyone is very kind and humble

[@bucketofvitamins3637]

@@ace3058 thank you for the suggestion! I was a little iffy about all state but ur comment kinda helped me out, I'll probably audition cause who knows what'll happen

Play the video at 1.75x it sounds fantastic

We are playing this in varsity band in High School for our Christmas show. Props to these 6th graders.

[@ashtrological262]

As a Junior and actively playing this song for our Christmas Song, I can't help but think about why they sound good for being so young. Our band was no where near this lol

[@claironne]

not bad for 6th graders! i remember the time i used to be a 6th grader and we were lerning something less complex so good for them!!

[@Average_BandKid_OSC]

As a 6th grader who has 2 years of experience(flute) this is wayy better than my small 29 member band could do, good job!!

[@luciferonyt]
