I was first chair flute in this(:

[cbkuhlman]

My middle school took the third movement to a huge competition in St. Louis. I played vibes as section leader. We were totally awesome, and the top groups (band, choir, and orchestra) all got gold ratings.

at my school the 7th & 8th grade LGPE (large group performace evalution) is playing this for LGPE festival this year

[EmilyfrancesScott1]

this song is easy. =D

[Shortpinoy13]

can they go just one speed in all the movements? they kept speeding up and slowing down.

[riddlemethis12]

They weren't all written at the same tempo...

[pianoandpercussion]

omg... what was that at the beginning of the dance! :O

[yusukekidsister11]

we play this at our graduation every year.

i'm going to cry :(

Ticheli's version of simple gifts is bordering near being the same as Arron Copland. Then again, it is rather hard to change the song too much.

[dminorintheblitz]

ive many mistakes

[ilovedisney35]

we played this in band when i was a sophomore in high school except we did not do the third movement

[IchbineinPenguin]

It's too fast for my taste. Our band played it about half that speed. (Unanimous Superiors at Festival!)

[naturegrl13]

wow. i play the exact same peice at my school, but we do it way slower than y'all do!!!

[davidtenor93]

what was going on at the beginnign of dance?

[damoneybandgeek]

Wow the students look bored.

[rdaniels95]

well the triangle isn't the most exciting thing to play, unless your on indoor line.

[damoneybandgeek]

My band played this last year @ UIL. Its pretty cool.

[nicoleromano]

thats me as first flute, with the solo @ the beginning!

:)

[rdaniels95]

that's me playing the triangle!
