@Shinythingmakessmile i am playing this for LGPA festival and i am a horn player.....it is indeed a glissandi; we are holding are trigger key and rolling are fingers up the normal keys for the first level of the horn.
Theres defly sum 4/4 time signature but a lot of it, like 1:26 seems like some kind of 5/? Signature like maybe 5/8 if that even exists?!? Mindblown, love this song tho!
3:30 im playin second chair trombone wit the top part tho and comming off bein sick its so hard to play and keep up wit everything haha but its my favorite part i think one of the best endings ive ever heard love it
This piece is a lot faster than what my band is playing it at lol. Were working on it but we are definitely lagging. I hope we have it by October. I am reading the music and I am like oh yeah we behind lol
The brass in this song sounds like its gonna punch you in the face!! Im a 9th clarinet playing this for our Spring concert and the runs are killer, but the brass is my favorite part without a doubt
definitely one of the hardest and most fun pieces I've played. I was in 7th grade playing with a local symphonic band, it was a little over my head at the time, but I think it's still one of my favorites.
I played this at PMEA region band today lol awesome piece

What are these things the horns play at 3:26? They sound almost like glissandi, but not quite.

I love this song so much. The bari sax part was simple but so catchy. It had all of the grooves by itself before the tubas and baritones joined in :D
Low reed appreciation!

This was the very last piece I played in high school before graduating. I was horn 2, and we played it awesomely. <3
Unfortunately many of the percussionists had senioritis so their line wasn't as pronounced as this ensemble. :P
