    Sooooo great! Just played it last night and it was awesome. I'm playing clarinet and the final part (4:33 to the end) is the best yet somehow the hardest fingering succession I've ever played.

    • @thorasaylor5075
      @thorasaylor5075 Před rokem

      The one where its Eb then B and F#? Followed by the next set of eighth notes (around measure 63)? To me its such a weird fingering (im used to alternate fingerings for B and C because my hands are small)

    I miss this song...😭. I am a Senior in high school about to graduate and this song brings back memories of my Sophomore when I first learned how to played French horn. This is when I realized that I was meant to be a beast French horn player instead of a trumpet player. We got straight 1s at assessment playing this. I was the best French horn player in my section at the time. The runs were hard back then now when I look at it I'm thinking, "Why was this so hard?"

      My friend Omar just switched from trumpet to french horn/mellophone (in marching band) last year and he's doing really good and as the only horn player we are all kinda proud of him cause he has never cared too much about band but he just started fixing his life and is doing amazing. It's nice to see him improve as a person and a player.
      To quote my teacher, "band is a lot about life, and a little about playing. This experience will change you in ways you could never comprehend so enjoy it while it lasts"
