This is so good. I miss this. My band always played it as the finale of our Christmas concert, that we always played in the gym. The echo was amazing for this, especially for the timpanis. She always beat the hell out of them and it was great. I played trumpet and took the last note up an octave instead of just playing the regular A. Playing with octaves was always so fun.
the advanced band at my school played this and being one of the percussionist this was the most badass songs I've ever heard and the drums that sound like thunder sound even better in person
Ms. Pendragon, Thank You so very much young lady .. know this one well, granddaughter practiced it every day since receiving her clarinet part - thought the band did a superlative piece! Watch Out GR, here comes the next wave from Brittany Hill!
I am playing this song, and I am a percussionist.... I am in seventh grade right now, and I have to say, PERSUSSION IS THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
.. just realized this post is five years old, and yet, granddaughter's gig was last night(?) so, I am going to the mirror because, obviously, I have egg on my face .. still a great post Shannon! And the granddaughter shall remain anonymous .. baby it's cold outside.
This was awesome saxophone part amazing I play saxophone in AMs Honor band and we played this exactly like this no dragging and no rushing pure awesomeness
Played this at my Christmas concert yesterday. I played 2nd Trumpet( I was absent for the seating test so I sit last chair). It was my favorite piece :)
We just got this song today. Our percussion didn't understand it and then the flutes(and me) started playing it and it was fun!!!! I love it when we divide but I wanna play the bottom part
I played clarinet and played this in 6th grade. Going back and listening I used to think the flute had the coolest part but I’m reality it’s that alto sax.

+Colby Main facts
Im playing this in 2 weeks for my 8th grade Winter Concert ! 2nd clarinet ! and First chair !!!!
My band is playing this and one thing I have noticed is that THIS SONG NEEDS SOME BASS DRUM. The bass drum just DOMINATES in our band.
This recording also needs more low brass. It needs more support, it seems like it is all melody.
I played the congas on this my senior year as well !..and I'm currently on Louisiana Tech Universities drumline !
I played this at my Christmas concert. yeeeaaaaa buddy go PERCUSSION!!
Im playing this on trombone in 7th grade. This song is a really excellent part especially the low brass and low reeds!
+Tanner Epic me 2 but in 8th
I'm playing this at my band concert in Dec. Lol its my fave song in the entire concert

My 7th grade band is playing this AND WE LOVE IT! We don't have any Djembe's so we're using the bass drum
Great take on a classic song!
I played clarinet and played this in 6th grade. Going back and listening I used to think the flute had the coolest part but I’m reality it’s that alto sax.
We're playing this in band! Love it!
Played this song back in high school band, ill never forget it cause I had the percussion solo lol
This is one of my 6th grade band Winter concert songs
we were playing this song last year and I played the saxophone part
Our high and middle school played this together but we had to memorize it and it still sounded like this. GO ALTO SAX!
Played Euphonium in 8th grade. Man, this was a blast to play.
We're playing this in my school band and it's the best song we have this year. I feel like it ends too abruptly though. :/
my high school symphonic band is playing this for our winter concert!
