We're playing this piece for NMMEA All-State Small School Band of 2010 tomorrow through Saturday. I made first Bb clarinet and I'm excited to play this! I get the melody pretty much the whole time :) Awesome performance, James Martin High! Definitely the best version of this song on youtube.

@RyanZauros My band played this for competition last year too, AND I was 1st Clarinet (technically Solo clarinet, so mine was different from the rest of the 1st clarinets :D)! But.....

I broke my jaw 3 WEEKS BEFORE COMPETITION & they had to wire my jaw shut, so i couldn't play at all... When I found out I couldn't play, i started bawling my eyes out. We were playing another piece called Mt. Everest by Rossano Galante (amazing!), & I was 1st on that one too... needless to say, NO ME GUSTA!!

Man, this is a really great song. I'm in the 9th grade Advanced Band, and I play tenor sax. We're playing it for our final concert. I love this song :)
