My Shot (from Hamilton) by Lin-Manuel Miranda/arr. Michael Brown

Young Concert Band - Grade 3
The highly acclaimed Broadway musical Hamilton has taken the country by storm and already garnered a number of awards, including a Grammy Award for the soundtrack and the Pulitzer Prize for drama. Featuring a masterful blend of hip-hop and R&B, here is the show-stopping My Shot in a terrific arrangement for band that can be performed with or without the optional rap.

started crying laughing when the guy started rapping 😭

[quinn]

I think the rapper has had too many shots.

[daprofessakid]

Personally love the vocals with this right here. Fits perfect in my opinion

[annahoffmann]

The varsity band at my school is playing this.. I'm auditioning for the vocal part. I will sing it just like this.

[rowenwade]

the rapping it’s self isn’t bad the only thing that slightly upset me was that it skipped some parts. (and that’s fine.) i don’t mind that much but as a big hamilton fan i was slightly disappointed to no be able to play the “entire” song. it’s still great and the kid at my school rapping it is so good! :) i don’t know why people are hating the vocals but my best guess is because it doesn’t use “all of the words” and replaces some to make it kid friendly. ^^” great music. fun to play! :D

Doing this for choir, got to impress my teacher and friends by rapping this, very fun, hope to be a soloist for this! I'm no Lin, but it was still great! Plus I saw and had fun at the musical too!

[chimpme]

Is it possible to have a vocal free version?

[EdensRose]

i played this exact copy for my school concert (before quarantine) and i played the A. Sax 1 part. Its good to look back on this.

[denkikaminari]

Am i like the only person who doesn't hate the guy rapping....

[rice]

I'm so excited to play this!!! I get to rap it cuz I'm the Hamilton kid! I mean, my nickname at school is Hamilton

[leonmaloney]

I’m so excited to be doing this for band

[Keirridwen]

( and I am not throwing away my shot with regards to auditioning for it :) )

[SnowTurtle]

[birzayit]

I actually like the vocal it ain't that bad, but that's just me.

[lizziehiggins]

I’m trying out for the vocal part in band soon. Wish me luck

[seanr]

Great song and impeccable arrangement but the vocalist slaughters it.

[RockStarOscarStern]

Hal Leonard Concert Band The Optional Vocal is interesting. We should make a version for Choir, Band, & Strings.

[definitelynotskittles]

playing this one as part of a medley....omw this is the best hamilton song ever.

[adamcollester]

What's the big issue? The vocals don't seem that bad. I don't know why it's getting so much hate.
