Sleigh Ride from a Flute's Perspective but...

- my schools wind symphony plays sleigh ride every year but its my first time and its so silly !!
i was the only first flute, there were 2 second flutes, the piccolo and oboe were gone, our band director wasnt there (the choir student teacher worked with us?), it was only the second read of it, and we got stopped halfway through... quite chaotic
Other band members are like "consistent tempo? We don't know her"
We’re either speeding up a ton or slowing down a ton on this song it drives me insane
@@musical.clover It’s sounds really good, just suggestion I be careful playing sped up .Your Christmas Concert this could end up being a combined piece between the band and choir, then it be its original written tempo!
😂😂😂
😊
@@musical.cloverno fr my band does that too
@@quit_mnr SAME
The percussionists in the background are doing the absolute most and I love it
Im A percussionist and we have so much work to do when we play we are basically adults of the other band or they lose it
@@Cora-bz8pv I play percussion in my band sometimes because it was the first instrument I played before I switched to oboe. Percussion definitely comes with a lot of responsibility. Depending on who your band director is, how long you band has been playing, and what type of school you go to can influence how reliant your band is on each other. Like my band doesn’t heavily rely on percussion because we are all second and third year players, unlike our beginning band, who all rely on each other to get themselves through songs (they are AMAZING nonetheless)
Bro I feel so bad for the sleigh bells 😭😭😭
@@badcabbage2822they hurt like HELL 🥲( the pound handheld ones )
400th like
you honestly have amazing tone. as a flute player myself, i applaud you
Aww thank you!!
agreed! i’m a flute player too;)
Same I play the flute and you are so talented ❤️
As a flute player your slurs and trills are amazing like I could never 😭
Thank you!! It takes so much practice- those trills took me a good second to get the hang of too
me asf, i could neverrr
@@musical.cloveromg how do you not have to like apply 10 pounds of chapstick after playing for so long 😭
@@Sonyyy27 I actually don’t know 😭 my lips are always chapped though I’m kinda used to it (I don’t even pay attention anymore atp)
Me as a flute player 😭😭😫🥲🤨😑😮😧
WE NEED TO KEEP THIS TREND GOING GUYS!!
As a flute player who started sleigh ride in 7th grade as a second flute, wow. The constant trills in this song drove me crazy, and I always thought the tempo and rhythms were weird 😢. This is crazy impressive, especially to me.
I totally feel you, the trills are so annoying 😭
SEVENTH GRADE? MAN, WE COULDN’T EVEN GET THROUGH THE SONGS IN THE LESSONS BOOKS 😭
@@auroraa.writes probably a southern state, they have the better bands in the country
YOUR TRILLS?? as a flute player that’s hella impressive 😭
Thank you!! That was honestly the best I’ve ever played them 😭
YESSS, THIS TREND IS BACK AGAIN THIS YEAR
The best time of the year!!
i love how the percussion are just having fun 😂
Those trills were absolutely perfect. I wasn’t expecting to get chills but I did 😂
thank you!!
as a percussionist, i love that these percussionists are just having so much fun with this, it makes me so happy lol
It's sleigh ride perspective season again.. my favorite time of year 😂👏 Great playing and tone!
Thank you!!!
OMG ITS YOU
Play the bass flute part for this
We're actually playing this exact piece in our band rn, I played along with your recording and it's the same arrangement. Your tone is very pretty!!
Thank you!! It’s a super fun piece
I’m playing this in band too lol in a week or so 😅
We already played it!
Dang u play so well! I’m first chair flute. But I’m in 8th so.. I’m not playing sleigh ride this year, but my friend is. But u play so well! 💀💀 couldn’t even tell ur the only one
Thank you!! 🫶
this is my favorite time of year on youtube because there are all the videos of performers playing sleigh rides and im in love with this. Greetings from Italy, please continue to do so xD
I’m not a flute, clarinet actually, but I’m dying playing this piece. Probably cause I kinda suck but I’m getting the hang of it kinda.
ANYWAY. You play so well that I could never 😭
No I feel you, it goes fast and some of the stuff is just goofy. And thank you!!
im a clarinet player too and this is literally my favorite song ever to play, but getting the trills consistent and yhe ornamentation during the swing part of ghe song is really really difficult, its so much fun once you get the hang of it
I'm a clarinet player too :0
this song is so hard, and my band director has us play it like... at a WAY too fast tempo, I swear my fingers can't move this fast LOL.
I’m a orchestra student,, but honestly our teacher treats the band kids better 💀 and these videos makes me wanna be in wind ensemble / band.. and btw it’s really good even though you’re the only 1st flute!
I would love to play in an orchestra oh my gosh- but yeah band is super fun! And thanks!!
I’m in orchestra, and we do not get much. The band kids have rewards, a TV, easy sheet music, and everything (This is my school, not all schools are like this). We get so much more music. However, all of that doesn’t matter. My orchestra teacher is so nice. He always makes my day. I do have a friend who plays the flute, and I sometimes want to play the flute just watching them. I love the adrenaline of playing an instrument.
I'm in both and I think I prefer violin but band is more fun then then orchestra -
I feel bad for orchestra kids, they’re like tucked into a corner at my school-
@@musical.cloverI'm also 1st flute at my school
speeding up his yapping in between the runs is so funny to me
as a trumpet im scared of the flute part 😭i'm not even playing this song tho
ur really good, i love listening to u play it was great. but watching the distress on ur face when the trumpets entered was hilarious i was cackling
Shhh we don’t talk about that (also thank you!!)
I'm a violinist so I'm not super familiar with the flute but this sounds really good!!
Thanks!!
FOR ONLY THE SECOND READ OMFG YALL ATE THAT SO HARD...my band is doing Sleigh Ride this year (I'm the piccolo) and we are a hot mess and it's been like 4 reads by now like help...we've only gotten through like 12 measures 😭
Also may I add your tone is absolutely beautiful like amazing job fr
Aww thank you!! This is something our band plays every year so a lot of them have played it before
@musical.clover my director does it every 4 years so that nobody plays it twice 😭
as a flute player, i can confirm this is what happens in band when we play sleigh ride
ughhh as a flute player i would totally do this but my school forbids us to have our phone out 😭
Our schools allows it but I was trying to be secret about recording 😭 idk with being in the front row everyone can see ig idk- but yeah like everything but my camera was covered by music 😭😭
same during rehearsal i hide it under my book then put my sheet music over my book
Literally this is the first one I’ve seen out of this years sleigh ride videos, and I already love how chaotic it is.
Also hello? Tempo?
0:29 Ayo bro everyone be talkin about her flute skills while I’m cheering for that trumpet kid just vibin in the background
Are we going to ignore the trumpet player swaying left and right😂
Yeah I’m pretty sure all of them were doing it 😭 the others aren’t in the frame though
IM SO GLAD THIS TREND IS BACK OMGG!! You play absolutely amazing though, like I’m astonished, and the way the percussion players jump in the back 😭 I can’t stop giggling at that
Old guy percussionist here. (OK Boomer.) Playing a whip crack inches away from another person's ear is a really bad idea. It is great to have fun while playing music, but tinnitus is a life sentence of living with unwanted noise. Don't do it to yourself. Don't do it to others. Ask your director to talk about hearing protection or to invite a health specialist to come do the talk.
I enjoyed the video. 👍👍 I'll perform Leroy Anderson's winter opus at least 6 times this season alone with different concert bands but I've never heard the flute part before.
The trumpet in the back having the time of his life
All of the trumpets were doing it it was so goofy 😭
the fact that i got reccommended this the day i played this song for a concert is insane
in my school we play this song every year, and i struggle so much with all the trills but this is helping me see where i need to improve and stuff cause you did really well!!
Thank you!! I’m glad I can help :)
This is fantastic! Great work! And those trills!
Thank you!
you sound so beautiful!! this made me realize how much i miss playing with an ensemble, i haven't done it since before covid. like this just looks so much more fun than searching "flute sheet music play along" on youtube and playing for your cat like i did today 😭
Thank you!! And yes playing in an ensemble is so different than just playing along with a recording. I’m surprised I stuck through Covid and zoom band but that was when I actually realized how much I loved it! Maybe you’ll find an ensemble to play if you want to!
This is my all time favorite Christmas song to play on trumpet. How fun!
As a fellow flutie (flute player) this is absolutely amazing! I’m debating whether or not to try a new instrument though
Thank you! I’d say if you have the opportunity to try a new instrument, go for it! It never hurts to know how to play other instruments. Like I got a keyboard and have been “teaching” myself piano and it’s been fun!
I am a trumpet player for 6 years now, and started teaching myself piano like 5 months ago, and flute less than 2 I guess and it's soo much fun to try. (if you have tips, everything is welcome😅)
@@musical.clover That’s a great idea! do you have a good instrument i should try??
@@lavendr_haze I’d say look into some and choose whatever you want! If you’re looking into buying one it all could depend on price ranges and what works best for you. Going into a music shop to try some before actually buying one might be a good idea too.
@@-Unstable-history-Nerd thank u ☺️
I'm in orchestra but I can relate to this. I play viola so I understand the very short amount of players and having to restart at measures where I have to count for 8 of them and at measure 2 we restart to measure one of D. But I love your hair and you look amazing!❤
Aww thank you!!
First sleigh ride pov reccomended to me this year... IT HAS BEGUN
Yep!
As a flute player, this is so good! Keep it up
Thank you!!
Excellent job! I've played that part in my professional years, and it's not easy. You were keeping an eye on the conductor as well.
Thank you!!
I’m an alto sax player so ofc I don’t know flute knowledge, but your tone is amazing! I wish my flutes had the same trill ability as you 😅
Thank you!! The trills are quite tricky I’ll say that 😭
@@musical.clover Even as a different instrument I feel your pain 🥲
I’m an violin player but you sound incredible! 5 of my friends play the flute but your intonation is far the best sound I’ve heard! ❤
Aww thank you!
STOP NOT ONLY ARE YOU AN AMAZING FLUTE PLAYER BUT YOURE ALSO SUPER PRETTY LIKE WHAT😭❤️
OMG HELLO THANK YOU
@@musical.clover NPP JUST SPEAKING FACTS I REALLY LOOK UP TO YOU TO BECOME A GREAT FLUTE PLAYER TOO😁👍💕
As a flute player this is absolutely amazing, like I could never do that as good as you😮❤
Thank you!! All I can say is that I’ve practiced a ton!
This is so good I’m obsessed!
the percussionists are having the time of their lives
Help I’m playing this on piccolo. I’m the only ninth grade out of sophomores,juniors,and seniors
Who are flutist. Pray for me
as a flutist, i pray for you. good luck, my friend
That’s crazy, but you’ll do great! I feel you, im first chair as a freshman and it’s terrifying 😭
dont worry, my director said we might play this next year and I'll be one of the only few freshman and the ONLY oboe player 😟😟 I actually don't even know if there will be any freshman in that band next year anyway but oh well 😭😭
Good luck!!! But don't worry too much, the Picc part is the exact same as the flute part, you just play 1/3 of the time they do. Our Symphony plays this EVERY SINGLE YEAR at our Christmas concert, and I'm playing Picc this year too
2:11 THE GUY IN THE BACK LMAO
Yeah they do something crazy every year… like last year he ran around the auditorium while the director was chasing him for the slapstick and they fought over it 😭
The percussionists made me laugh 💀 but your tone is sooo good and I could never on my flute
Thank you!!
The trumpet in the background is a mood
I could hear the trombones and it hurt my trombone soul
As a flute player, I just want to say, you sound amazing. Keep it up
Thank you!!!
I'm playing this as first flute out of two flutes!! You did soooooo good!!!
Thank you!!
The slapstick player in the background got me good 🤣
I live for the jumping slapstick kid in the back
Just typical percussionist behavior
As a flute player I wish my trills were that good 😭 You did so good btw! 🤍
Thank you!! The trills definitely took me a little bit to get
I’m a percussionist and seeing the percussion section at the back having the most fun with whip made me smile!😂
Thank u trumpet player in the back for dancing, I live u fellow trumpet.❤
I wanted to play the flute but I ended up with the trumpet and idk how😂 Amazing playing!❤❤
Thank you! At first I actually would’ve chosen trumpet, but I couldn’t figure out the buzzing 😭
@@musical.clover the buzzing feels so weird😂 I feel your pain though
well, i remember playing it when we didn't have any flutes so it was just me (oboe)
but for a second time you did so well! greatings from Belgium!
Thank you!!
Short little story
I’m a cello player and I’ve had like 6 weeks of percussion experience( only with hand drums) my orchestra teacher had a nonet group of 7-8th graders and I was 1 of the two 6th graders there….. I had to solo and learn percussion by myself. We actually played this and some other songs in front of actual people and kindergarteners I had no idea what I was doing. I was just sitting there looking at the music lost because I had no idea what any of the notes where my teacher didn’t tell me what I was supposed to be doing let alone teach me the names of the instruments.
I asked her if I could play cello for the nonet, she said no. But the other 6th grader was able to play her viola which I didn’t get so I quit the nonet. I honestly don’t know why they didn’t get a band percussionist to play😀 PS I auditioned for the nonet AS A CELLO PLAYER I DID NOT PLAY PERCUSSION FOR MY TEACHER I DONT KNOW WHY SHE MADE ME A PERCUSSION PLAYERRRRRR💀
Classic percussion section in the background. Life is a party for them
I just had my band concert and this was one of the songs
awesome in every way lad!!! ;D keep it up
also just saying, this video was like asmr to me because I play the saxophone at my school and I love the orchestral rendition of sleigh ride
as the only flautist in my band, you’re doing great!
Thanks!!
You did AMAZING!! You are very inspiring :) I’m 2nd flute all the time lol
Thank you!!! Second flute can be so fun sometimes, they always get such beautiful harmonies
The tempo is insane like my band director would kill us for any tempo problems 😭your lucky yours isn’t there
Tempo was a very big issue for us for a long time on this piece. But during the concert we actually played it really fast- like we kept the tempo well but it was very fast 😭 but also we didn’t really have a conductor, because our director was running around with the slapstick shenanigans
Some of those percussionist and that one trumpet got me with some of those actions in the song😂w job on the song though!
THATS amazing! I wish we could have a band like that 😢 I live in a small town, and there are only like 12 people in our band. I play Saxophone, and DONT know much about flute, but that is SOOOOO GOOD
Thank you!!! Band programs have ups and downs over time. But just because you have a small band that doesn’t mean it’s bad! I bet you guys sound great.
As a flute player that has been doing it for 2” years
Your so good at flute!❤
Thank you!! I think I’ve been playing for 5-6 years now?
I can relate, I did Sleigh Ride for my winter concert at school last week. And since there were only two flutes I had SO MUCH pressure 😅 and it also was my first year 🙃🥲
Percussion up to the usual shenanigans I see.
as always
They do smth crazy every year for sleigh ride, not sure what they’re planning this year though
your tone is amazing !!!!!! i'm not very familiar with flutes or woodwind instruments in general since i'm a violinist (my breath control is shit so i've always veered away from band lmao) but i can tell you're super skilled in what you do :]
Aww thank you!!!
I did percussion while in band, and the percussion players' little jump with the slap stick brings back so many good memories lmfao
It’s always so interesting to see what they’re up to! During the concert they chased each other throughout the auditorium and fought… it was quite the sight
**SIGH** Sounds eventful and I just love how the trumpet who was just jamming out around the 0:40 mark. As a trumpet player myself, this is so true
Yo we’re playing this song in my band class! You’re such a BEAUTIFUL flute player WHAT?
thank you so much!!
how funny is it that i came back home earlier from my school’s winter concert and this was one of our songs- my friend who plays the fkute thought we couldn’t hear them- i honestly couldn’t but that was probably because im a percussionist i was too focused on my music to hear them
THE TRILLS OML I COULD NEVER
I graduated almost two years ago and I was in band for 6 years, and god I miss playing this song every year. I might start picking back up on clarinet again.
id totally say pick up clarinet again if you get the chance! i mean im a nerd and obviously would want anybody to but i bet it would be fun to come back to it. If thats finding a community band or something or just playing on the side for fun!
the trumpet vibing in the background
As a flute player, you play really well, I hope I can be as good as you one day 🤩
Aww thank you! And you’ll get there I promise you (after an insane amount of practice obviously 😭)
the trumpet in the back vibin
that one trumpet in the background going side to side lol 🤣
Lucas dancing in the back is my fav part
You all should go check out the french horn part for this... I play 1st French Horn and its SO fun
The slapstick from percussion gave me nightmares first time our teacher showed it to us 😢
This was out band like 3 years ago, we only started having an oboe (singular) 2021-2022
I can’t have that great tone and move my fingers fast, but you sounded nice! :]
thank you!!
As the only 1st flute you nailed it!!! 🎉
I imagine this is how I sounded being the only 1st flute 25+ yrs ago 🤞🏽. I practiced Sleigh Ride for H.O.U.R.S.!
Thank you!!!
I CANT WAIT TILL I CAN DO THIS SONG IN HIGH SCHOOL AS A BARITONE
Ahh, it’s officially sleigh ride season
The slap stick in the back ground 😂😂
The guy with the slap stick was having fun in the back 😂
Edit: I rewatched it, the whole damn percussion group in the back was doing their own thing lol
The percussion team at the back seems having a lot of fun
As someone who plays viola and has nothing to do with a flute: you did amazing great job
Thank you!!
im in band as a flute player and you put my whole band to shame
You sound amazing!
Thank you!!!
Ofc!!! you ATE@@musical.clover
The trumpet in the back 😂
Also a silver trumpet is so expensive
this sounds better than my school’s band
Off topic but the guy in the background moving his head to the beat of the song was sending me, yall played amazing tho,I love this trend so much and your class players really well despite the set backs,and sorry if that insulted people.
I know the feeling 😭😭😭
Great job!
Thank you!!
