This was the last song I played for my final concert my senior year and I got to play the AMAZING trumpet solo. I've played a lot of music, but this is BY FAR the best piece I have ever played.

[emmaslit]

As a bass Clairnet player in symphonic, I’m so happy we get the melody for be prepared. It literally my favorite measure throughout this whole song

[stchair]

Imagine getting the trumpet solo your senior year then the covid comes and takes it away from you.

[zoeyneal]

6:23 this flute solo is absolutely gorgeous

[sydneypadgett]

Be prepared is literally one of my fav Disney songs

[themusician]

I wish my band could play this! I love this arrangement so much, great job John Higgins!

*This is so nostalgic for me. I was first trumpet and I played the solos.*
*I love this medley with a passion!*

[AJLando]

We did this exact song (same arrangement) in our concert last night!

[thergunrd]

I play baritone in my town's city band, and this is a staple for the children's concert we do. We also get to dress up as Disney characters, and I 100% always pick Scar 😂

It was an absolute privilege to have played this arrangement in high school as a tubist. I had only wished my classmates would have taken it more seriously.
Thank you Mr. Johnson for giving me the opportunity to participate in this work, even in a little small-town high school.

Finally a medley with the villain song

[Billothy]

This is quite possibly one of the best concert band arrangements of anything I've ever seen

[aelakrubsack]

I just realized how similar I just can't wait to be king sounds compared to under the sea?

We played this song when we travelled over to Singapore for band. Us and a Singapore band joined together to play with, with some of us singing. And it was amazing. Love this song and piece of music.

[lowrikate]

Let’s just appreciate the pretty flute part ❤️

[trvalocity]

I played this for my freshman year in top band and now I am a senior and I feel like crying just from reminiscing in the memories of those times

[o_zanellinha]

One of the greatest arrangements that I ever saw. My band is current learning to play it, it's so fun and nostalgic to hear this piece.

[SM-xlvs]

Wow this version still does really exist!!
I WAS PLAYING THE FLUTE PART ALMOST 20 years ago...
Wow.... love this...
