My school uses this as a "scatter song" at our band carnival. Basically, a scatter song is when the band all runs to random locations in the huge room and plays the song together as the last song of the night. One of my friends is a senior, and I'm a freshman. He means alot to me and it was his last year doing band carnival. His tradition he has been following from his brother is to run to the judging balcony for games up into the tiny seats near the ceiling above the room, and stand above everyone and play. We did it this year and it was most possibly the most emotional band experience of my life. He doesnt know how much his friendship means to me and damn am I going to miss him next year.

instead of the trumpets playing, we sang fallen kingdom, and that was the best band experience i've ever had in band.

Coldplay was the theme f my last marching season this year. Got to serve it as drum major. Will never forget my time as a marching cobra. ❤️

You know when the tenors and trombones come in to take the melody it’s a good song

[MyDaysAreAlwaysSunny]

The flutes in my marching band brought the melody at 1:10 up an octave so people could hear us. There 21 of us so we have a block of high notes with like 150 other people playing

I just handed a copy of this yesterday and almost cried. With each more sheet of music I am one step closer to being a high school band student in the Busy Bee Band & Honeybees

[mjohnson]

as a clarinet player, i love switching between all the parts in the same key

[lunchboxbro]

I'm playing this on Saturday for the first time at a football game, wish me luck 😀

[toust]

i love how the tenor and trombones finally take the melody for once

[bluforrestleaf]

I play Alto Sax and Clarinet. I really like how it gives the spotlight to woodwinds lol

[nayleshkacolon]

[tyleraldh]

[corporacaomusicaloperariad]

Wonderful and perfect! Thanks Michael Brown, from Brazil!

[jocani]

The middle school orchestra plays this every year for the tour of the schools (a.k.a. The elementary schools form same district)
And this inspired me and other songs the middle school orchestra played inspired me to play in the orchestra. I am now in the 7/8Th grade concert orchestra, and I am proud.

Good chart but the cymbal part is so boring. It's almost like not having any at all. A good cymbal part could make the chorus sound so much bigger and have a bunch more impact

[atlaswilliams]

Learning this for matching band, I plat alto sax. Have my sheet music in my flipbook and baclround music to back it up. Its starting to sound good! Wish me luck! 😀

[DontRushTheProcess]

We’re playing this for our senior night and I think our director made a wise song choice.

[abbyvogt]

My band is playing this for our pep rally along with another song, I am the only clarinet one and I am carrying my entire section. This is a middle school band and my band teacher gives us two really hard songs.

I played trumpet in marching band... we had 8 chairs... chairs 1-3 we used to play 1:32 to 1:40 one octave higher. My favorite part of the song 🎺
