2:58, every time I hear that I always think of when my Grade 9 band class played this piece. Nearing the end of my Grade 9 year I wished that I had not enrolled in Band class but this piece alone shows just how great my Band class was and what a mistake it would have been to not take Band that year.
@@kaylabakerod9790 im in 9th grade!! And I play flute! And this is sort of hard to me! I got it yesterday and I like it so far! But maybe it will get easier for me soon!
I will never forget my freshman year of high school in 2013 my band director pulled this out for us at the beginning of the year. My favorite piece we've ever played
We trumpets sometimes get the melody usually at the end well in my music that I play but we also have the best parts for example for Aladdin we have a whole new world which i mastered and showed it to my teacher who was so proud of me I skipped a whole day just for band to show all the 8th graders how good I am.
Ahh, the first song where I volunteered by my director's plea to switch from Trumpet to French Horn for a year. Damn this peice made me glad I did so, I loved that beginning.
My school will be playing this in year 2025 but sadly I won’t be there because I’ll be already graduated from high school in college. So I hope to play this piece to come back like some other graduates do or watch the band perform this song.
who else is here because they are playing this for their concert🤚🏻😂 edit: y'all im playing sus cymbal and I need serious help😩. whenever I start 'a whole new world', it sounds horrible and our concert is in like 3 weeks. I'm gonna be so embarrassed that day😔.
@@lisahollingsworth4931 it turned out really great. i think all the nervousness i had that day made me focus on gettin it perfect. because of this, im not that nervous or scared for this upcoming concert we have in like 2-3 weeks.
Im playing this for my spring concert!! I play alto saxophone and am being switched to tenor saxophone hopefully soon:) im in 7th grade and we have a uil this year bc im in the top band at my school!
I keep using this video to practice my percussion 1 part but if you listen to it, there's so many extra notes that arent written in, especially in the whole new world section.
It feels great sight reading this one day and getting it perfect in like 2 hours on this piece 5 rehersals includeing 3 other grade 3 and 4 music check out my band on RUclips at atwe
I'm played this in 7th-8th grade and now I'm a freshman and what are the odds my new band teacher chose this exact piece👏👏👏
i’m in 7th and we’re just getting started

I played this in 5th grade and had such good memories while playing this to perform
1:59 is the best part in “friend like me” and I cannot be told otherwise.
Yesssssssss yes yes yes yes
I love how the trombones in Friend Like Me have that whimsical feel to them
Yea I know I play trombone as I 6th grader and I LOVE ITT
As a trombone in 8th grade, I largely agree
I love the Clarinets!
Because they rule, duh.
me too!!

Same we played this piece my 9th grade year, that was sooo long ago. About to be 21
Looking this up because we’re playing this in band this year, proud French hornist!
The nice little trombone melody made my heart skip a beat, as a trombone player I’ve never loved a composer like I love our good friend Mr. Sweeney
TODD STALTERRRRR
I played this version 20 years ago😊😊glad this still lives up until today❤️
we did the aladdin musical and when i heard this song i SOBBED
I am in 8th and we are playing this for a second time.
Rianna Byfield lmao hey rianna
Same :O
This is actually a really good arrangement for Grade 2. I really like it. :D
Michael Sweeney is really good at writing for smaller/younger bands, in both his concert and jazz music
This is good for maybe 2nd year band kids
GRADE 2??!!! I'm in 7th grade and I have been playing for 5 years and I can't even do this! WOW
@@kaylabakerod9790 im in 9th grade!! And I play flute! And this is sort of hard to me! I got it yesterday and I like it so far! But maybe it will get easier for me soon!
Bruh this should be grade 3 wth
The struggle of trying to play this but the flute part is barley eligible
true
The flute part is easy for me
@@avamachado4841 yeah same
I love flutes even though we are quite ❤
I am playing this currently in my 7th grade band
Same

@@davidweeks6893 ours was yesterday
I played this last year in 7th grade I wish my teachers chose a harder price if you want to see my band look up atwe in RUclips
Same
This piece is so popular, I don't know why. Almost everyone I know is playing this piece including me.
Not me ha ha, I'm doing the Paul Jennings version which to be honest is way better
Carol Storrar yea

Omg I love the trumpet part and I play it in wind
Same. They always get the best part
We trumpets sometimes get the melody usually at the end well in my music that I play but we also have the best parts for example for Aladdin we have a whole new world which i mastered and showed it to my teacher who was so proud of me I skipped a whole day just for band to show all the 8th graders how good I am.

song
We played this last year! We were so bad that the BD had to cut out everything except arabian nights lol
Savannah Skelton Meeee
Same thing happened to my band and now that i looked back on the song, the songs i play now are on a whole different level
Ahh, the first song where I volunteered by my director's plea to switch from Trumpet to French Horn for a year.
Damn this peice made me glad I did so, I loved that beginning.
me too I like the beginning too! We are playing this at are concert! Can't wait!
A Friend Like Me is really hard on trombone
It’s also hard because I have to swing the 16th notes in Friend Like Me, I can barely even to the regular 16th notes.
But it’s at a swing tempo
But it’s at a swing tempo
But it’s at a swing tempo
Random Cat42 I play this with band, I play the trombone and it isn’t difficult.
We are playing this for a concert in 6 days:)
i am too! are we in the same band? xD
Favorite piece I’ve ever played in band! I played 2nd trumpet
My school will be playing this in year 2025 but sadly I won’t be there because I’ll be already graduated from high school in college. So I hope to play this piece to come back like some other graduates do or watch the band perform this song.
Playing this on euphonium

@@nana-uf2lh yeah, we might not get to play a lot but its very hard. i practiced it so many times and still i cannot get it right.
Give us an update. How'd it go?
@@lisahollingsworth4931 it turned out really great. i think all the nervousness i had that day made me focus on gettin it perfect. because of this, im not that nervous or scared for this upcoming concert we have in like 2-3 weeks.

I’m so flipping’ ready to play this!
5th Grade Trumpeter.
We played it and it was a beautiful piece!
oh wow i wish i was taught an instrument besides a recorder when i was in 5th grade!! that's cool

I played this in 8th grade and during my concert I played the friend like me part so loud that I basically did a solo on stage
same
Thanks!
broooo i needa get my band director to let us play disney songs for our next concert!!
We're playing this in our concert so fun
I like the saxophone solo in that one part
Great horn part
can i just say the trumpets bailed on us during a whole new world in front of at least 500 strangers
playing this piece this year
this is such a fun timpani part! especially the finger cymbals
Playing this in 6th grade band! Super pumped we play in May
Older arrangement. I played this in High School Band.
@Tracey Rich hey, just a tip, you shouldn't put your school online! theres alot of creeps on here.
Im playing this for my spring concert!! I play alto saxophone and am being switched to tenor saxophone hopefully soon:) im in 7th grade and we have a uil this year bc im in the top band at my school!
My grade 10 sister played this songs in her school saxophone it was very good
We have to record ourselves playing this song for online band. Quarantine sucks 😩
I play bassoon in my 7th grade band and this is such a fun song to do!
やっと見つけました。
お久しぶりです。
頑張ります
I keep using this video to practice my percussion 1 part but if you listen to it, there's so many extra notes that arent written in, especially in the whole new world section.
One of my concert songs in 7th grade polt
Yup I did when I was back in high
school

Intro: 00:01
Arabian Nights: 00:13
Friend Like Me: 1:17
A Whole New World: 2:50
Thank you so much 🙏
It is my opinion "Friend Like Me" is Alan Menkin's best song, MAYBE 2nd but idk if "Under The Sea can top it.
RIP percussion,trombone and trumpet
am trumpet, can confirm
as a trombone player,i wouldn't really say so
am percussion snare drum/ride cym is only good part
whaaaat? trumpet isn’t that bad. at least for 7th grade. :/
@@earthling3096 Bruh the trumpet parts 1 and 2 are easy
I have to play this a month from now. Just wanted a reference
bruh im a first clarinet and those notes and tempo ain’t joking 🙃
Yes yes yes yes yes
I'm in high school band and we just got this piece today. I'm a percussionist and am doing the timpani part which is a bit tricky but it's okay
We are doing this for our 6th grade concert but we are given 4 42 minutes rehersaks

Me for bariton/euphonium

0:53 Am I the only one who thinks it’s sounds like Seven Nation Army?!?!?!
Plazmah Midnight me too
all i know is the bells around there sound 👌 noice
Depending on the arrangement of Seven Nation Army that you play, those notes could be the exact same notes.
When I was in rehearsal to play this my band teacher told the flutes to think of seven nation army.

Good music 🎶
Bad arrangement
It´s only Grade 2. That´s why it is not the best arrangement. But for Grade is it actually good.
Paul Jennings one is way better
We all have opinions!
