The slapstick part is the most important in the band and everybody wants to do it in my band lol

[petergriffin]

This is my first time seeing a calm percussionist.

[dave]

All you kids who are playing this for your concerts, this is what you want your band to sound like. Any of our service bands are excellent role models for your ensemble.

[sleepingdragons]

That horse whinny was unnecessarily perfect

[willsfailsfails]

When you can actually hear the clarinets

[emilyislate]

It bothers me how calm this band is, especially with the jazzy bit with the brass. I don't know if it was just my band but the whole brass and percussion section would become pure crackheads. God I miss band

[pearspeedruns]

Can't we get one smile from the gentleman playing slapstick?

[sarahjackson]

Guy on the slapstick absolutely killing it 10/10

[nickr]

I love how they zoom in on the whip, cause they know that's what makes or breaks the song.

[kleiner]

Of course right after October this is in my recommended

[tsibdatixpayac]

1:43 with the swing is my favorite part. I'd love to see a jazz arrangement of this.

[RambunctiousVA]

They play while leaning back in their chairs?

[Isa-oekq]

theres only 3 insturments you need for this song:
solo trumpet for the horse whinny
trombone
slapstick

[UsherCoolboySWFilms]

The piccolo and the flutes blend very well in this video. They’re in tune and they sound like one instrument.
Like if you play flute or piccolo!

[donnieaidibi]

We watched this in band class and let’s just say if our clarinets actually sounded decent like that I will be the happiest person ever

[laurenmiller]

We play the same exact version in my high school band!

[steakfries__]

this would be the song if there was a christmas level in mariokart

[log]

we are playing this piece for my school and i have the horse whinny it so much fun to play

[charliem.]

This is about the cleanest, up-tempo renditions of Sleigh Ride I've ever heard...the articulation even in the low brass and woodwinds is just outstanding!

[robertgarzajr]

Honestly the tempo they’re going is just right, it’s too perfect it’s not too slow and not too fast some high schools be playing this piece super fast but doesn’t sound good
