This song basically got me kicked from band, true story. I LOVED the trombone's lines in the song and noticed something I'd NEVER seen in musixc before: PICK ANY NOTE with a fff dynamic (fortisisisimo). I had THE HIGHEST range out of everyone in the section and I went for broke. (Highest note I could possibly hit, slide all the way in) The next day I was called into the director's office for "not producing a band sound" 😂😂😂😂 it was well worth it

A small group of Confederate men find a trolley on the track... And the Great Locomotive Chase begins! How do I know so much about this?

It's not paradiddles though... all the accents fall on the beat. if it were paradiddles, the accents would fall on the E of the beat, which would completely throw off the feel of the song. just straight 16ths with quarter note accents. the only actually challenging parts of the song are the accelerandos and ritardandos at the beginning and end of the song.

This is one of the greatest pieces I’ve ever played in all honesty. I had the pleasure of playing the French Horn for this and that was probably the most fun I’ve had in a while in band. Our entire group was 14 people including percussion and this piece is designed for ~35. We managed to score a superior on this and the joy all of us felt from that was indescribable. As a final note, we were down a few percussion members so I was given the train whistle and I remember how funny it was to place that thing in between two slots on my horn and quickly getting that part in between breaths

I'm 27 this year (2024) and I'd like to dedicate this to two very important people in my life. The first being my band teacher from middle school, Mr. Frank Chlorie, who passed away a few years ago. He was a big fan of Robert W. Smith. We played many of his songs, including this, but this is what got us straight superiors. We won the Blue Ribbon Music award, and it was the first time a middle school in my county had ever done so. He always believed in me and told me I was gonna be a musician of some sort and now here i am playing my melodica along to the trumpet parts from this, by memory 😅 I'd also like to dedicate this to my friend Mark Nichols, AKA Hobo Shoestring. He passed away recently but was a good friend of mine. I feel like he would have enjoyed this.
