[RileyS_]

If you payed attention she wasn’t playing the whole time. She took breaks instead of holding the last note of a phrase. She came in at 20 to play the melody

[Verde_Forest]

Fun fact! Oboes actually take the least amount of air of any wind or brass instrument; playing quietly, it only takes about four litres, (sometimes even less, ) of air to play for an entire minute!

[TFB-GD.]

flute being out first is just a cannon event

[aviation-dabpa]

Legends say she is still playing to this day

[LixFzArrz]

The song is Morning Mood (Peer Gynt Suite No. 1). You can now sleep in peace.

[TheProsecuter_]

the oboe played at least 20 seconds with one breath so id say that still counts as something

[TheOOPprogrammer]

Oboe player not only breathed, but was not even playing for a while

[Silver_Thornss]

Who is just now noticing Tim is in the army band😂😂

[MangleIRL]

Oh my goodness I’m actually freaking out I’m literally playing my flute RIGHT now and I was playing the SAME exact song at the same time- am I being spied on????

[PaisleyWilliamson_]

the flute did so good! flutes actually take the most air so she did amazing! 🤩

[EnbyBee]

That’s because oboes take basically no air, while with flute a lot of your air doesn’t make it in. That’s why beginners usually get really dizzy on flute

[Ima_bandkid]

as a percussionist, i see this as a total win

[johnpaschold]

I played with Kelly Longmire (oboe) many years ago for a production of My Fair Lady. She rocks!

[AnnaThompson-rq]

Morning from Peer Gynt was always my favorite band director’s favorite song. Thanks for letting me relive that nostalgia of me playing it for him.

[HenryPereira-zy]

This is personally on of my favorite songs to play on the flute ❤

[FightbackMediaGroup]

The back pressure on Oboe is so amazing they have symbols on music telling them EXHALE!! Crazy!

[wilddoggames]

One of my teachers had the extraordinary power of being able to breath in through his nose while playing his instrument so he was basically able to play forever

[NotASensiblePerson]

Respect to the flute player for lasting that long
(As a flute player, I could probably only last 7 seconds 😅)

[Lfe_vibezz]

My favorite part is for sure the trombone solo

[DanganronpaFRAK]

So true!! Flutes take more air than it puts out, but she played amazing she sounded so beautiful🙏🙏
