[cassierawr123]

love the song

and the pace is perfect

just a little more trumpet

but this is awesome i played this song for UIL

[trumpetsandocarinas]

my director had us play it like a million times faster a couple years back

[fallentacoman12]

i like this song but i dont play it this fast

[strawberrikandi1]

@fallentacoman12 then you don't play fast enough

[KaoruxxHikaru]

i loved playing this piece

[smilezglitter2]

this was such a fun piece to play

but it was SUPER easy

maybe its cause we are a highschool band

but it was fun :D and pretty

[ooCINIMINIMONSTERoo]

We went to UIL with this song!!

:D gosh i love it!!

[RaimiiChan]

This song is in the series of unfortunete events game. and! Then i played it in my band class :)

[ScorchtheHawk]

For the second part, our eighth grade concert band plays it a LOT slower.

[34reed]

we play this song to i play percussiion!

[SkippyElectrochomp]

The funny thing about this song is, spite the fact that it's so easy, in the band I'm in, THE WHOLE TRUMPET SECTION [including me] seems to encounter problems on 0:58 to 1:31! I just hope this problem gets resolved before Friday...

[IKissllamas]

This song i extremely easy. Way to easy for me, an 8th grader! I play the 1st clarinet part and a little part of the 3rd.

[KoraProductions]

my band played this song at a concert and we got a 2!! but it was very easy

[zerosaprentice]

@KoraProductions it is easy when i played it we got a 1 goin at full tempo. it was fun!!

[sauters]

@zerosaprentice

[missbritface]

Hmm.. I'm surprised that an orchestra is playing this peice. It's so easy. But it sounds great. I love the clarinet part for this peice.. especially the third clarinet part.

[cre8ive65]

lol i had the 3rd the best!

[Talis64]

implaying agua's whelm and its really hard

[hisguhfrmtx]

i love it

[kakashi2930]

i dont get why a pro orchestra is playing this easy song lol i plyaed this in 7th grade and sounds pretty much like this

[girolle01]

Uh, so beginning and developing band directors can hear it. Duh.

[OliviaFlorence]

I'm in 7th grade band, and we are working on this song right now. Slower, yes, but sounds pretty much the same. Not as good as this orchestra though, obviously, not nearly as good.

[sissypiss123]

lol im in my 7th grade band too lol and i am also playing this song i got the 2nd clarinet part

[n3k0girl]

I'm in 11th grade and our band sounds like crap because I just HAD to join BEGINNING band...>_> stupid freshman were screwing around the whole year. it was our best song tho...the only song I practiced so I know I sounded good on this song

[bettynebula]

i love this song

[bananadruid]

I'm in a 6th grade band and i play a trumpet we are trying to learn that song a bit more and we almost got it but my schoold band isnt as fast as them

[melomelod]

this is pretty good... but i'm surprised an orchestra played something easy. im in grade 8 band and my sisters in an orchestra.. she plays a lot harder music...

[Ryanjustin132]

I'm in 8th grade and play the clarinet our school band sounds EXACTLY like this

[kakashi2930]

my band could play this song about 125-130 and not at full speed but wel'll get there

[KrazyKristen123]

this sounds like our 8th grade band.

Wow great!

I love this song one of my favorites!

[xsomethingx43]

that was awesome.

[yacob209]

I play saxophone in my 8th band. We're working on this peice. We almost sound like this.

But someone always squeeks at the end. HAHAHA.

[num1fanmileycyrus]

this is actually the correct pace i know the conducor of this peice he conducted us and this is the correct pace

[nprevo22]

@num1fanmileycyrus very true... i hate when i listen to recording of this and the band plays it at an unusually fast tempo... it doesnt even sound right.... it says 160 and 160 is what it should be played at!

[13patwil]

we played this song for our big contest and got distinguished. i play tenor sax. we also played imperium. we got distinguished on that too

[PUREMO21]

lol im srry but you guyz suck at this song im only in 7th and our band is way better at this song we played it at festival disney this year and we got a superior best in show and a gold mickey you guyz play it to slow

[casey963]

Yeaaaah, no.... I highly doubt any 7th grade band will ever out-perform a professional band.

Besides, they are playing at 190, 10 BPM more than what the sheet music calls for, so they are fine on speed.

How else do they suck? They are in tune, I hear the correct parts and and dynamics. Looks like they hit it spot on. I would love to know how they suck.

[hellboy12814]

this was awesome and were playing this piece for our spring concert but we wont be that good

[lemonloveshow]

wow...is hella good ...

i play 2clarinet..

is so fun...

[casey963]

We are playing this and hopefully getting good.. I play first clarinet on it and it is ridiculously fun to play.

But how come this is faster than we are playing?

[AppleCak3]

Probably you Teach is making you go slower on it : [ Our BD is making us go much slower until our helper comes xD and he makes us go fast like this <_<;;

[cheyennerivera16]

to fast!!!!!

[oORPGMasterOo]

We play this song but you guys are way better!

[lameface12]

lol i love this song. I played this in middle school (8thgrade). im in highschool now and the songs we play are a lot more fun. Stay in band!

[Kakashi1777]

[jonasforevershow]
