As a middle school oboe I legit have never seen a piece where we play this much without the flutes XD. Now I get to rub it in their faces ;-;

[bigboitime]

the point of the song being arranged like this is so middle school bands can play this. that doesn't mean we will forget the original childrens march. btw ty for the song it made playing it a lot easier

[jakethecarsandreactorvideo]

I didn’t play this in high school but my high school 9th grade concert band played this in the fall of 2016 at the time I was a sophomore

[kayleedotterer]

I play the alto 1 part. The many times I play with the melody is insane.

[Ben-zlfc]

I have played this piece and the actual melody has not been watered down. The arranger just cut out a snippet of the original and I don't know how its sad when the original piece is still out there.

2:11 I much prefer that being a euphonium solo as opposed to being split between multiple high woodwinds

[shmepenator]

I play Bari sax for this and its great

[rafaelrivera]

Sucks to be a flute player who rest for 93 measures

[alissaaglr]

percussion gang not playing for half of the song🥰

[ja-wmqk]

I play 3rd clarinet it's actually fun

[cupfsh]

i play 3rd clarinet in this peice and we stand out more than the 2nds and if only the other 3rds could figure out that we have like 5 key changes and that in the first part of the song it's not f natural, but f#, maybe we'd sound good as a band

[ThiccmunchKid]

[rodneysworld]

[zakk_thesuprem]

[yoonbumsankles]

I play first trumpet on this, and it hurts my lips a lot

[Asomeonewholikesmusic]

[glancy]
