  • last year we tryed learning this song(:

    the director was deborah carnahan,,, the composers wife:D

    now my band director is mr.nordquist, high school band is so much different than middle school:p ...

  • I played this song 2 years ago. It is so beautiful! The French horn part is outstanding and so much fun to play. This is tied with Whale Warriors by Brian B. as my favorite piece. Both have such beautiful French horn parts.

  • jefferson middle school is performing this for UIL on friday and i think we are prrty good but we would never sound as good as the original its a beautiful piece. (: my director is Ms.Roberson and she rules!!!

  • I played this at Western Regionals today, (: Great song.

  • Except with us, it sounded different because of the amount of instruments and variety.

  • playing this in honor band concert love this song

  • you guys did good for a middle school band..i felt it was kind of rushed the whole song...and a few pitch problems in the 1st trumpets but other than that..awesome.

  • If you play the trumpet, here iz a tip, before and after playing this song, rub an ice cube on your lips and massage your lips. It loosens them up and makes it easier to blow air and hit those pesky high notes! :)

  • We are learning this in my band.. Our director is Deborah Carnahan ... The Composers wife (:

  • I am learning this song in my school band! My band director is really serious about the whole region/state/honor thing and today he yelled so much his face turned red! It was crazy! TRUMPETS RULE!!!!!
