thumbs up if you're listening to this because you played/are playing it in band and can't get it out of your head.

LOVE IT! Amazing piece of music! And we're also playing it in band! The amazing thing is we're in 8th grade. Well, our band group was the highest scoring band in the 2011 Chicago heritage festival, so I can understand.

Our band played this when I was in college and it's one of my favorites ever (all 5 movements.) There's such a levity and humor to the music, it makes me want to laugh while I'm playing it.

[XredroseX93]

My band played it too last year :)

we played all 5 movements

My band's top group is playing this as a side piece for our Winter concert. I absolutely love it.
