[Sangheiliultra1]

I play trumpet and the trumpet part is amazing but since i have braces it leaves a huge indent in my lips.

[twist98663]

The only hard parts for the clarinets and flutes is when you just repeat the same notes for three lines it just feels like it could go on forever but other then that i LOVE this song!!!!!

[twist98663]

[Gooterslaw]

The French horn has such a beautiful part. I loved playing this in high school. Everything I have ever heard/played by R.W. Smith is phenomenal

[fsxflyer787]

apparently, this is torture for the clarinets.

[TheBr0therHo0d]

@fsxflyer787 yea it is they repeat like 2 parts the entire song and u can barely even hear them

[fsxflyer787]

@TheBr0therHo0d I've played this on sax, bars 16 to 34 are always fun for the clarinets

[ekh97]

love this song. we begged our director to let us play this for festival in 8th grade, but we ended up playing something else... and we lost. boo ):

[sunprincess951]

[18pell09]

[siempreconmusica]

Yes, I like the flute haha I play it ;) it rocks very much! But in my opinion in this song the melody of he saxophone is more beautiful ;)

[siempreconmusica]

I played it maybe two years ago and when I was playing it with the flute I was be able to listen only the flutes, not the other instruments but now, listening at all of them, it sounds very beautiful, I like it, hope play it again :)

[oohimsowet34]

[lovelygrrl1012]

[battleking500]

@lovelygrrl1012 so right

[powerranger3223]

@Chloe10145 my conductor calls it an A exercise

[Mroyy12345]

I was watching the Great Locomotive Chase cos' we play it this year in band, but i just clicked this and I hope we get to play this so much. Then again I am in percussion--actually check out my videos, not too shabby if I do say so myself--and the percussion doesn't have that big a part.

[cstue18]

Play this this last year and I luv this song go Alto sax!

[mattissoc00l]

[Luscius55]

Cool song overall, but I remember in like 6th grade I got stuck with second clarinet on this song, and it was my least favorite one to play. This is basically how the part went:

AAAA Bbbbb A A A AAA A AAAA A A A A A A A A A A AAAAA A A A A A A A A A A Bb A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A MOTHER EFFING A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A AAAAA AAAAAA A A A A AA the end. :P

[oOxKatieKatxOo]

@neonsea98 You think that sucks. Ever heard of Canon remix? I play trombone, and I played the same 8 notes throughout the entire song. :< But i still loved it! XD

[Luscius55]

@neonsea98 I can beat that. I can't remember exactly how many measures were in the song, but I remember counting up all the beats I had that were not an A, and I believe it was something like 2 and a half measures. That includes rests. Everything else was the same note.

[chaos20951]

I remember playing this in 6th grade

ALL THE WAY TUBA'S

[YCAT7]

Hm, Smith really likes storms doesn't he? Played this two years ago, it was fun.
