Just saw this, but I’d definitely try to make a recording of me on something like my soprano sax… even if I’m a 22-year-old in college now, and I have to deal with the fact that Xmas music’s never played there, and concert band only happens in spring semesters anyways. :/ But hey, I’d be happy to see what other people would make. Plus, I hope to hear more energetic trumpet whinnies, rather than plaintive, complaining whinnies. XD
@@jayraygaming3147 be terrified. You have to learn and memorize insanely long music, if you had plans for Friday better cancel, you'll be at a football game running across the field. During the weekends you could spend about 5-9 hours polishing music before a competition. You will get insanely hard music, and high school teachers are way harsher than middle school, if you're in a lesson, they will not settle for just knowing how to play it, you better know how to play it correctly with correct articulation and dynamics after the first or second month of having said music. Wanna know how you'll spend your summers that used to be fun? Running around, dehydrated, with an instrument. Buuuuut all bads aside high school band is an amazing experience, you get to go to all sorts of places. I believe only those who's hearts set on music or has the full dedication can make it through high school, it's a tough process. Don't let that discourage you though, I Guarantee that if you do nothing in life but blow things high school band is for you 😁😁
@@bluejay9638 I am in high school and I am going to be completely and bluntly honest, when I was I was like, yep, yep, do that, yep good bye free weekends, and honestly it all is so true but especially the competitions I always had a blast with them so JayRayGaming I hope you stay in band because it may get harder but it gets so much more fun in high school
@@jayraygaming3147 I mean yes, they were right. But band (and marching band!!!) was by far the best experiences of my life. I wish I could do it all again. I’m in college now and unfortunately not in any of the bands but I highly consider it. My last couple of years of high school were online because of the pandemic so I really missed out on these special moments. Even though it can be tough sometimes, I promise you won’t regret it
@@bluejay9638 really? Band in high school is hard but not at all as hard as you say. Honestly, I barely practice and I’m still pretty good at the instrument and do well at competitions. That’s what most people are like here. I go to a private school so idk if that’s why it’s easier
wasn't sure what to expect....but it was pretty good!! and i love that the trumpet player ACTUALLY HOLDS THE INSTRUMENT UP instead of to the floor like 75% of them do....I'm sure your ears don't like it though!! lol
@@pearbear. yeah everyone in beginning just screeches their lower notes as trumpets. Later we actually get better and don’t just blare and deafen everyone lmao
Couple squeaks but overall, they stayed together and had amazing articulations. The time signatures in this song are hard to get used to and I’m quite impressed
Love how the girl on the left looked into the camera during the jazz part lmao what a mood. Also, I am absolutely envious of your intonation and blending. Us clarinets and flutes struggled with that on this piece.
@@queenemmers still just like the rest of the song. only difference is thats a more intense part of the song. any jazz musician can feel when something is jazz or not. its a feeling
I love how there are so many sleigh ride videos on CZcams that are getting recommended to me now. I seen so many people in the comments who all have played this. Sleigh ride is just that universal piece most people play in school band at least once, myself included
As a young clarinet player I love seeing older clarinets playing so I can learn from them to get better. Since half my family are clarinets I learn from all them now I have 3 first chairs in 3 honor bands. By the way, the way yall played the high notes were amazing with no squeaks.🤯
as a junior high clarinetist, i am very intimidated by the super high notes (anything higher than high c, the one with just the thumb and the register key)
Don’t be!! Just think of them as just any regular notes on the clarinet ☺️ I used to struggle with that in middle school as well though, so it’s totally normal haha
my guilty confession for the day: I was second chair clarinet my senior year and I could barely play the beginning of first part for sleigh ride 😖 practiced so much and still couldn't hit those high notes that fast....the shame haunts me to this day
As an ex-clarinet player in high school band I am extremely impressed (and jealous!) of your intonation and articulation. My friend and I used to call this song the “Death Ride” because we couldn’t really play it until our junior year. Only clarinet players truly understand how agonizing yet beautiful this song is to play!
That was surprisingly well played. I assume this is high school. It is more typical to hear intonation problems or articulation problems, usually both. This was a pretty darn clean performance. I myself started with clarinet (well, after piano). But then switched to bassoon which is an entirely different experience. Then to brass. French horn, and then fully to the dark side - trumpet. Strange, I know, but I had always also played around on the trumpet as sort of a hobby from the beginning even though I principally played something else. I recommend that young musicians try other instruments - they may find one that better suits them.
Maybe I'll play another instrument besides the trumpet but since I've only had 3 years of experience with the trumpet I'll most likely work more on that and then go into different instrument maybe even the alto sax
Sometimes it’s not all just about playing every note, but also about having fun and I could tell you were enjoying yourself here. Great job, there’s a bright future for you as a clarinetist!
Great work. I'm impressed. This brings me back to 9th-grade band in 2005 during the Christmas season when I was playing the clarinet. We played this song (I believe the exact same arrangement because a lot of it sounds very familiar). Good times...
Very nice!! Hard to hear over the trumpet at the beginning but, still amazing job. Im glad im starting to see perspectives other than trombone and trumpet now 😂.
I love how each instrument POV has different things behind them. Like low brass has either curtains or percussion, percussion has curtains, clarinets have trumpets, flutes have clarinets, it's so interesting.
the trumpet in the back is an amazing trumpeter. she has very good lips to make the notes sound very good and clear which i like. im a trumpet player to and i have to say im so impressed by her skills in the trumpet
Omg, I remember playing this in my school band when I was in year 9 😂 Unfortunately, I remember this part too well 😭 Love it keep going guys 🤙 I miss all of this because unfortunately, covid has hit hard in the uk😭
I feel like it’s every high school band players requirement to play this song at least once. I played alto saxophone and some of those high notes we had to hit were insane! Especially high E
You girls played this really well! The clarinet part is pretty difficult. I remember I had to spend a couple weeks every day to even get the altissimo out.
My high school band director had us sightread this just before the Christmas/Hanukkah break at school. Safe to say it didn’t go well and I’m 1st Clarinet (I’m a junior 😵💫😵💫) you guys KILLED it!
You guys did great! I also play the clarinet, but sadly I'm struggling to play certain notes, but its amazing to hear you play! You sound cool and I hope you keep up the good work!
this made me miss band :((( half of my junior and my entire senior year was completely online so I missed out on my last moments like this. anyway y’all are great and I love how you play with your whole body haha!! I used to do that too (tuba and trombone player!)
Early on I had my volume turned down enough that I could just hear you guys in the video, and I thought we were going to get the whole thing with just two parts!
Like this comment if you think all of the people who have been making Sleigh Ride videos should collab!! 👀
Just saw this, but I’d definitely try to make a recording of me on something like my soprano sax… even if I’m a 22-year-old in college now, and I have to deal with the fact that Xmas music’s never played there, and concert band only happens in spring semesters anyways. :/

YES PLS
I mean I’m down. I play trumpet as well so lmk and I’ll be glad to collaborate 😮💨
Any space for String Orchestra people?
PAIN?! That was f*cking awesome.
I like how if you add one trumpet to a song it’s the only instrument you can hear
not my band we have 6 trumpets and thats the most for one instrument but they are the quietest doesnt make sense in my mind 😅
@@majiimiike interesting
You can mainly only hear the brass and percussion
For my band I play flute tho so on some songs flute is higher
In my band class the saxes and trumpets are the loudest
Despite listening to Sleigh Ride hundreds of times, I don't think I ever noticed those trills at 0:55, so thank you for teaching me something today!
it’s was so hard to hit those for me on my clarinet
I noticed them because the flutes and piccolo have them too, I’m a piccolo
Yeah in quite a few band songs I've had there's always very silent trills that you can only hear if your either by that section or in that section
@@meghanmedendorp3257 oboe too! :)
Flute here, they’re rlly hard to get
As a clarinet, I have a love hate relationship with this song, but you guys did amazing!!! Great job :)
same 😭
wait you are a clarinet?
lol
You are the instrument fascinating
Clarinet worst instrument
@@Bacon_Jtoe L
I love how much yall move. I love moving along to the music but no one else does it so I just sit still LOL
Omg relatable!!
It’s really quite helpful for keeping your whole section in time. Would highly recommend
@@jackcallahan1848 haha yessss honestly true
So relatable for me too! I move along and enjoy the music and everyone else is just like they're dead or smth
@@jackcallahan1848 the rest of the clarinet section I sit in is freshmen that hardly play so I think they need more than movement 💀
Wow, that was great!! Extremely well articulations, many clarinets struggle with this piece but you 2 did fantastically!
Thank you!
I fully agree! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Cause I sure did 😭
it’s me, i’m many clarinets
Is not amazing is yuck no actually is very 🤮
Come on, how can anyone NOT love this!!! For those of us who miss High School Band, this is a real joy.
I’m a 6th grade clarinet, does it get really hard, I’m gonna okay though high school and college I think so it be cool to know

I played first clarinet for this twice and it is painful. I love the song but the first clarinet part makes me wanna cry.
Read the description of the video
@@papasquash919 i completely agree lmao
I played Eb and first clarinet for this and trust me it’s really fun but it’s painful
just wait until they want clarinet 1 to play the melody up an octave
@@QuandaleDingleProductionz lmao it'd be so high pitched you wouldnt be able to hear anything lol
wasn't sure what to expect....but it was pretty good!! and i love that the trumpet player ACTUALLY HOLDS THE INSTRUMENT UP instead of to the floor like 75% of them do....I'm sure your ears don't like it though!! lol
AGAIN WE ARE NOT LOUD
@@mamaduck1136 i never said you were
@@michaelshelley1289 opp wrong person
I’m in beginning band and the trumpets are so loud in my ear but I cant blame them were only beginners 😭
@@pearbear. yeah everyone in beginning just screeches their lower notes as trumpets. Later we actually get better and don’t just blare and deafen everyone lmao
i’m finding all the infinity stones of sleigh ride
Nice tone. I play clarinet and love how pretty it sounds. Good job y’all.
I play clarinet too!!
Same
Same
It's a shame it was out of time
Couple squeaks but overall, they stayed together and had amazing articulations. The time signatures in this song are hard to get used to and I’m quite impressed

dont forget oboes! its incredibly painful for us too
theres no jazz part here
@@structlightning What would the section at 2:00 be considered?
@@queenemmers still just like the rest of the song. only difference is thats a more intense part of the song. any jazz musician can feel when something is jazz or not. its a feeling
As a trumpet player, I can say she sounds fantastic. As a person who knows nothing about woodwinds, you two sounded good too I think.
i think 💀

Oop I don’t usually practice anything higher than that because it’s not used that much in the songs that we do l0lz
hehe higher than high g on trumpet scares me so yea
@@mamaduck1136 Anything higher than C5 scares me as a cellist.
Anything higher than C above the staff scares me as a flautist
With all the different instruments POVs I have watched now, I definitely know this piece better than anything I have ever played.
my guilty confession for the day: I was second chair clarinet my senior year and I could barely play the beginning of first part for sleigh ride 😖 practiced so much and still couldn't hit those high notes that fast....the shame haunts me to this day
(y'all sound great!!👏👏)
As a retired clarinet player this song is hell
Love how much emotion you guys are showing. It just comes to show how much you are really connecting with the music
As a trumpet player I can’t help to focus on the wrong person - nice solid tone for the low notes!
same haha
Im not gna lie i wasnt expecting this high lvl of clarinet playing. Well done👏🏽
Thank you so much!

Or they can sub the night of the concert if there band director is mean
Yes! I started on clarinet, but I also play the alto sax; it took me until my senior year to try, but I found that I definitely have a passion for it
Do not encourage trumpet players 😡🤬
Maybe I'll play another instrument besides the trumpet but since I've only had 3 years of experience with the trumpet I'll most likely work more on that and then go into different instrument maybe even the alto sax
Yea I started on flute, and now I mostly play oboe. I've tried alto sax and trumpet (I'm not good at those lol..)
Sometimes it’s not all just about playing every note, but also about having fun and I could tell you were enjoying yourself here. Great job, there’s a bright future for you as a clarinetist!
Thank you Nathan!
I remember feeling so happy with my performance about a month ago even though I didn’t get every note correct because I enjoyed the whole experience
@@thomasdalton9211 that is what music is all about. There is no such thing as a perfect performance, so you have to enjoy the journey!
Great work. I'm impressed. This brings me back to 9th-grade band in 2005 during the Christmas season when I was playing the clarinet. We played this song (I believe the exact same arrangement because a lot of it sounds very familiar). Good times...
wowww yall handled the register above high c really cleanly! no way i could do that, you guys are really talented!
this video comes up on my recommended every month and im so glad
you guys are so good! We’re playing this next year and I need to learn altissimo for it idk what I’m gonna do
Thank you! Good luck!
Wth is altissimo?
@@plunger9165 just very high notes that r hard to get a sound out of it
@@plunger9165 Above the high C above the staff.
@@plunger9165 very high notes
Very nice!! Hard to hear over the trumpet at the beginning but, still amazing job. Im glad im starting to see perspectives other than trombone and trumpet now 😂.
This is so cool
Love the emotion and love have talented you guys are.
This is literally amazing- I’ll probably never be able to move my fingers this fast.
Beautiful playing! I am impressed with the cleanliness of your A G# A E “turns”. I know that was a bit difficult for me to get to a good spot.
Wow! You guys are practically non-stop for the whole piece! 😯
Keep up the good work! Beautiful sound, and so fun to hear!!!
all 3 of you did amazing!
Good job the trumpet player sounds amazing
CARTER PLSMNSNSJJSJ
LMAOOOO
😭😭
Wow you guys did great on those high notes! As a clarinet player struggling with high notes this was very impressive. Keep it up!
I love how each instrument POV has different things behind them. Like low brass has either curtains or percussion, percussion has curtains, clarinets have trumpets, flutes have clarinets, it's so interesting.
Great job playing this piece. ☺️

I play the clarinet too. Never fangirled harder
I use to play the clarinet and listing to this, brings back a lot of nostalgia.
Omg, I remember playing this in my school band when I was in year 9 😂
Unfortunately, I remember this part too well 😭
Love it keep going guys 🤙
I miss all of this because unfortunately, covid has hit hard in the uk😭
I know I’m late on this video but the clarinet with the glasses has the most beautiful curly hair I’ve seen!
That was really good! Keep up the great work.
Brilliant job guys!
u guys were great and so was the trumpet behind u guys
Fantastic, ladies..
I absolutely love this song too bad we didn't get to play it, it was an absolute blast to play and this helped me to learn those trials
I feel like it’s every high school band players requirement to play this song at least once. I played alto saxophone and some of those high notes we had to hit were insane! Especially high E
You girls played this really well! The clarinet part is pretty difficult. I remember I had to spend a couple weeks every day to even get the altissimo out.
The girl on first is vibing I love it. Those high F#’s came out effortlessly
All the instruments are finally getting recommended to me lmaoo i love seeing every side
this song gives me flashbacks to when the first trumpet we had practiced the whinny at the end NON FREAKING STOP
When the trumpet player is looking back to the right, see is looking at he conducer.
Ah, memories :-) Nice job!
It’s nice for me to finally hear a clarinet part in a song because our clarinets are so quiet. 👍
I play trumpet and we’re playing this in band right now. That horse whinny at the end is so hard!
와 진짜 듣고 있는 네네 몽글몽글 했어요 3분은 환상의 조합입니다 .. 💖
we love the staggered breathing!!!!
This song is hell for clarinets
My high school band director had us sightread this just before the Christmas/Hanukkah break at school. Safe to say it didn’t go well and I’m 1st Clarinet (I’m a junior 😵💫😵💫) you guys KILLED it!
I play clarinet too and this really beautiful!! keep going! ❤
all of these videos make me want to pull out my sax and play again!!!
You guys did great! I also play the clarinet, but sadly I'm struggling to play certain notes, but its amazing to hear you play! You sound cool and I hope you keep up the good work!
My favorite video trend that pops up every year around Christmas time without fail.
i wish my band sounded like this!
Soo talented ..caw can anyone not gonna like this? Keep going..xoxo
As a flute player for many years who is longing to play clarinet, I’m genuinely overjoyed this is so cute and it makes me so happy.
0:36, those high notes - well done! All is excellent, but this [and again later] in particular
this made me miss band :((( half of my junior and my entire senior year was completely online so I missed out on my last moments like this. anyway y’all are great and I love how you play with your whole body haha!! I used to do that too (tuba and trombone player!)
This looks so much like my old high school band room.
woahh wait what high school did you attend?
I have a love-hate relationship with this song. I've played it on percussion, clarinet, and bass clarinet.
Early on I had my volume turned down enough that I could just hear you guys in the video, and I thought we were going to get the whole thing with just two parts!
You two sound really good
This video has made me want to pick up a clarinet again. Haven’t done so since HS❤
clarinetist here :) this is amazing! you guys sound so good
I miss playing sleigh ride during Christmas band concerts 😭
Yall did amazing :D
Am gonna play the alto saxophone I can’t wait to play it in band class am soo excited!😊
I love this
Well done, everyone!
I am so glad I'm not the only one who leans forward and back when I play
i wish i was in a high enough band to experience this😭
この曲好き！フルートとクラ上手すぎ！
As a clarinet, love it.
that was great!! and i play the clarinet and when you video it, ur face usually doesn’t look very flattering 😂 but all of y’all look so pretty.
Great video!
The one on the left vibing
Me on Christmas morning on my clarinet then scream “ CHRISTMAS IS HEREEE “ ( Amazing Performance!!! )
I love that YT keeps sharing the different perspectives, the trombone one is still the best tho💀
This is really good. I love Sleigh Ride
Watching this in June, just because.
Ayy just as good as the WBI camp! Great job!
Thank you so much Connor!! Hope you’re doing well!
@@nataliedesimonee I'm doing great, I hope the same to you! Happy new year!!
