    Contemporary Marching Band - Grade 3-4
    Featured in the hit TV series Glee, this familiar hit from Neil Diamond has certainly stood the test of time. Written in an up-tempo shuffle style and with plenty of full ensemble punches, this will work great in the stands or with drill teams.

    This song has a backstory at my school! We had this really good activities director who took care of all the activities, not just the sports and this was his favorite song. When he died, they had the band play Sweet Caroline as the funeral procession went by! And now we play it at every basketball game, in the gym that they named after him!
    Edit: Accidentally wrote athletics director instead of activities director and didn't notice it until like 3 years later, my bad haha

      Yea I would also to but my Alto Sax 🎷 is at the school 🏫 yea I just play off the piano 🎹 well technically a keyboard 🎹 but I like to call it my Yamaha piano 🎹. Yea I am a Junior in High School 🏫 who plays 31 instruments but mainly the Alto Saxophone 🎷 and the piano 🎹 run 2 Facebook pages and a RUclips channel straight from my phone 📱. And I from South Alabama a very small town in Castleberry Alabama and go to T. R. Miller HS in Brewton Alabama and obviously play in their band which is the T. R. Miller HS “Tiger” Band 🎶 . I would say it’s a marching band but you know it changes about every season in band and stuff like that. Like concert season it would be called a Symphonic Band for us . But I would play mind but it’s at the School 🏫 and yea I played my piano 🎹 about all night last night just about ... 🎶🎷🎹🎸🐅🦅🇺🇸

      Same lol. There was also a time when we were playing land of a thousand and us and the cheerleaders didn't know that someone was injured and we played through the entire song 😅💀😶😬

    At an away football game the other team was playing this in the stands and all us clarinets (and maybe 1 of the 2 flutes and 1 piccolo we have but pretty sure just us clarinets) litterly singed to it the whole time they played and even said bum bum bum during the part it kinda goes like that and it was fun and it was this season which is still going don't know how many games yet though. And like this is my first marching season to. And at the same stadium different team (cause they shared the stadium) the music that like they played over not the band though did party in the USA and again we singed and I mean loud and we were sad when they turned it off but we kept singing so yeah. And an also sax actually said he was scared of the clarinets and I said why and he is like yall should be scared of yalls self and one of the girls is like I am and ngl there are some in our section that scared me at first but not that much anymore but I think it is cause of our energy (I don't think any of them can handle the nets energy). Also the clarinets/upper ww section is the hypest out of all the other sections sorry saxes (this might just be for my band and some of the other bands I have seen but who knows out of all bands we are and ngl we are probably the weirdest but funnest section so)
