Youbhave no clue how long it took me to find the right song omg thanks

[rachmaninoffsgodlyhands]

My band's going to perform this, combined with the orchestra too. This is a thrilling piece to play!

[valerier]

You guys should straighten up. It so you can get enough air to hold out your long notes and make it more clearer especially flutes

[swifty-]

Why does everyone judge this video so much? Just appreciate the fact they took the time to record this masterpiece and let us review it so we can improve ourselves! Stop being self-centered and just listen to the music….

my high school band is plaing this music this year cant wait to play it

[JustMadders]

We did this for concert band.. Very good memories

[alexsnyder]

My schools band is doing this song for Christmas and it sounds so beautiful tbh.although I noticed a bit of a lil of mistakes mainly since not very many are sitting up straight and the flutes aren’t fully holding up their flutes at a good angle

My school's band is going to play this in the annual Christmas show we do (If Covid doesn't cancel it). Can confirm we have better posture than these guys

[cohenwilson]

I play the sax solo tomorrow night for my schools concert and i have to stand, i practiced for an hour tonight to get it perfect and i think its gonna be good but im so nervous

[coasterkat]

Really nice performance. Side note: Why does everyone seem to slouch these days? Our directors were very strict on posture. Very strange to see so many younger musicians slouch, it looks lazy& unprofessional not to mention causing a restricted airflow.

My band is gonna play this this year but it doesn’t sound nearly as good as this lol. That’s to be expected though because we are 8th graders but practically 7th graders because covid
