All of the percussionists in our band always fight over who gets to play the train whistle

[tjandanaiyasworld]

I’m a flautist yet I find the lower voices’ parts in the Believe section so satisfying. I love how they harmonize with each other

[mikizambeck]

My school used to play this every year as tradition, and we got new directors so we don’t play it anymore :(

2:51 must be one of the best alto sax solos i've ever heard

[meghanmedendorp]

4:02 trombones and horns sound so pretty 😊

[chloetovar]

Why is everybody saying how they're the only person on their instrument for this piece? I'm pretty sure it's not supposed to be like that—

[ligmapatientyt]

As a tuba player in high school, Hot Chocolate is a certified hood classic. It's my favorite one, I love the sound of the trombone

[kyrainay]

Played this years ago in middle school and hearing this again brings back so many memories of me starting out as a hornist and really enjoying this piece as I was learning how to properly play my instrument. I'm currently a sophmore in college persuing a degree in music performance. I never lost my love for playing music and pieces like this helped built the musician I am today.

[dinobun]

4:01 is definitely my favorite mainly because french horn, trombone, baritone (if we had one), and tuba sound sooo good together and these instruments are sometimes left out with the cool parts and stuff. when we played that for the first time the other tuba player was like THAT WAS AWESOME. sadly I'm the only one now

[wolftribe]

We are playing this song for our Christmas concert this year and I love it😁💖🎺I play the trumpet solo!!!

[Quandale]

im a bass clarinet player and this piece is so fun for the bass clarinet because we have some melody and we usually don't and we can play fast

[andrewyates]

[pamnedwetzky]

2:14 MY LORD AND SAVIOR THIS IS A BANGER THIS IS WHAT KEEPS ME MOTIVATED AS A TROMBONE

I was the trumpet soloist at 1:33 in my band and when i realized the solo was coming up i was shaking so hard and almost cried after it cause i was scared that i was gonna gonna mess up but good thing is one of the highschool directors complimented me and so did my band directors wife (she was a trumpet player in her schools wind ensemble) so it made me feel better about it

Edit: I'm sorry I wrote a whole story i just wanted to talk about it

[BellaCullen]

I love this song. My band sounds so good, even though we got it a few days ago. Whoever made this was a Love the clarinet part. <3
