This was the last song I played for my final concert my senior year and I got to play the AMAZING trumpet solo. I've played a lot of music, but this is BY FAR the best piece I have ever played.
In literally 3 days my high school band is going to have our final concert and we are going to play this piece. I play trumpet, however I didn't get the solo 😔 but I still freaking LOVE this music.
But you got robbed on measure 242. It should have been arranged so that the only instrument playing across those rests was bass clarinet, like the low vocal part there in the real song.
that's better than what happened to the senior girl who got the solo a couple years ago in my high school band. as music built up to it, she totally choked and screwed it all up. i felt so bad for her.
It was an absolute privilege to have played this arrangement in high school as a tubist. I had only wished my classmates would have taken it more seriously. Thank you Mr. Johnson for giving me the opportunity to participate in this work, even in a little small-town high school.
I play baritone in my town's city band, and this is a staple for the children's concert we do. We also get to dress up as Disney characters, and I 100% always pick Scar 😂
We played this song when we travelled over to Singapore for band. Us and a Singapore band joined together to play with, with some of us singing. And it was amazing. Love this song and piece of music.
Graduation year 2018 concert, pinaghalong saya at lungkot naramdman ko nun when i was graduated as a band member but im so thankful I'll become part of it 💓💕
In my school band we played this and we have a trumpet player with the last name of Hakuna and when we found out that we where playing this we all looked at him and sang Hakuna Matata
During winter break I got bored in 7th grade and decided to learn like 10 new pieces for my tuba like summer dances and steel and just happened to find this. My favorite song ever. BY FAR
My band director asked me which song we should play for the spring concert, and she happened to have this in her archives. Now we’re learning it and it is SO MUCH FUN!
Definitely the best piece I played way back in 7th grade. I remember not knowing the marimba solo at the beginning of Hakuna Matata until 2 days before the concert because the 7th grade and 8th grade bands practiced separately and since there were no other 7th graders playing the solos there, my band director forgot about my part altogether.
We composed our own arrangement of The Lion King, which included The Circle of Life, Be Prepared, and Can you Feel the Love Tonight. We're a 3A band, just got Sweepstakes this year! 1s in marching, sight reading, and concert! Proud
We did this in 1996 when I was in high school. Good memories. I don’t understand how a 3rd grade band could do this ? It was hard for this guy...I was 17 at the time !
Music grading is different from educational grading. Music is graded based on meter, tempo, range of notes played by each instrument, etc. The grading is only from 1-5.
If you look at other videos on this channel, you can definitely see the difference between a Grade 3, Grade 2, and Grade 4 arrangement of the same piece.
This piece is actually the best memory I have in my life yet. I went to South Africa with my orchestra and we played that and many other songs, also South African songs, with and for black people there. It was the best time in my life :)

Obsessed Disney fan here!!! Go flutes!!! I swear Lion King is my favorite movie!! Will be going to Disney in Florida next month, you can probably tell I'm a bit too excited!!
When "I just can't wait to be king" came on i thought that it was "Under the sea" 😂😂😂 Edit: How did this get so many likes? Edit 2: GUYS SERIOUSLY THANK YOU FOR ALL THESE LIKES!
X Radiation It doesn’t matter about the level. It’s about trying to play it lyrically which makes it way harder than your boast about playing it perfectly.
Since of Covid our band teacher didn’t know what to give us. He just said this will work and handed this to us. Btw our band is a middle school band and I am first trombone that’s in 7th grade. I really like this Piece. I just want to say practice for an hour or two a day and then you’ll be ready for college or high school.
I loved sight reading this for first trombone! Then when music got handed out for our concert I got 2nd trombone. I didn't really care honestly untill i looked at it... Listen, trombone players aren't usually salty about their part assignments, or the fact that being a low brass instrument means you usually dont get super interesting parts; but when the first trombone part gets to play melody several times and solos/solis, while 2nd and or 3rds are just sitting there playing sustained notes or resting the whole time (*cough*cough* Circle of Life *cough* Hakuna Matata) then the salt shall burst forth from every orifice in our 2nd/3rd part bodies! Trombones shall stand united or not at all! Like seriously, if all I get to play is some whole and half notes Im totally down for that (without those long low brass chords the music would be so dull and lifeless), or like some super accented bell tones, etc. but only if all the trombone parts do. obviously there has to be variation in the parts, i get that, im not saying make the rhythms all the same 24/7, but dont give the firsts some kick-ass part while the 2nds and or 3rds dont get to do jack shit. If there's a fourth part on a piece, thats fine tho for it to be pretty boring because 90% of the time it will be for Bass Trombone, and so you usually have the tubas for companionship.
fucking same. every time we play this in band, I get goosebumps all over my body for the entire class and then I go home and listen to this about 700 times
We combine our High School and JR. High bands together for a joint piece at our final concert every year, and this one is our combined piece this year! As a baritone, I am very excited for this piece because i get melody for a change XD
I remember in 9th grade we were picking a song in band and this was one of the choices. We were supposed to vote on google classroom and I forgot to vote. There was 51 people in band and I noticed when he showed the results that 50 people voted. Lion king had lost by 1 vote and we played Beatles lonely hearts club instead and I badly wish I voted. I’ve been obsessed with lion king since 6th grade and I miss it. I greatly regret not voting that day

I could barely read the notes :/
Why was “This Land” not included in this piece?
This was the last song I played for my final concert my senior year and I got to play the AMAZING trumpet solo. I've played a lot of music, but this is BY FAR the best piece I have ever played.
This is my last song in my senior year of 2019
In literally 3 days my high school band is going to have our final concert and we are going to play this piece. I play trumpet, however I didn't get the solo 😔 but I still freaking LOVE this music.
we played it this year for 8th but didn’t do the other 2 pages (i play trombone)
As a bass Clairnet player in symphonic, I’m so happy we get the melody for be prepared. It literally my favorite measure throughout this whole song
i also play bass clarinet and it sure was surprising to see myself with the melody
I play bass clarinet too, and I can't even put into words how much I wanted my band director to choose this song haha
But you got robbed on measure 242. It should have been arranged so that the only instrument playing across those rests was bass clarinet, like the low vocal part there in the real song.
As a bari sax player I agree
As someone with a friend who plays bass clarinet I can tell you that my friend will be very happy to hear this song as well
6:23 this flute solo is absolutely gorgeous
i have to play that this year.... wish me luck :'D

I’m so sorry 😞
I wish my band could play this! I love this arrangement so much, great job John Higgins!
I just realized how similar I just can't wait to be king sounds compared to under the sea?
all Disney music is like that XD
It does probably to like satisfy the audience maybe?
Really? I didn't notice that at all
@Kimbernesha Barnes Idk
I am playing this in band and I always hum it and get messed up there
Finally a medley with the villain song
It was an absolute privilege to have played this arrangement in high school as a tubist. I had only wished my classmates would have taken it more seriously.

Definitely
I'm glad ,that is so a good arragement, because i just orderred the full score.
Hope we have a lot of good fun with it!
I really wanna make my band director play this
But we dont have all the parts

This is the best Lion King arrangement out there! Woo!
I’m guessing you don’t play bassoon then
One of the greatest arrangements that I ever saw. My band is current learning to play it, it's so fun and nostalgic to hear this piece.
Cannot wait for our symphonic band to play this at our final concert! It's such a fun piece!
In my school band we played this and we have a trumpet player with the last name of Hakuna and when we found out that we where playing this we all looked at him and sang Hakuna Matata
Bird Band racist
How's that racist
Bird Band i was joking lmfao
Woooosh
Please tell me he got to play the Dixieland Shuffle in Hakuna Matata
If I was a core band director, I would definitely have this arrangement as a show!
core as in you being the 'main' director or corp like a drum & bugle band?
Main band director.
We played this song in band and it was awesome!! I'm a saxophone, and my favorite part was definitely Be Prepared.

Woa. Did anybody else see at the end the weird dynamic for timpani? It looked like a fortissississimo. Weird.
I think that's subito fortissimo
that is sforzato forteforttissimo
Yo timpani players
Hannah the Musician AAAAAYYYYYEEEEE ANOTHER PERCUSSIONIST!!!
It's true you don't see sfff too often; the coolest part is easily the pedal glisses going into Be Prepared though.
Amazing🥶 jesus this gives me the chills, we played this like one year ago and I still remembered every theme, every note! This mashup is awesome
It's not really a mashup
God damn, that transition into Be Prepared gave me chills. This was a fun piece to play.
Played this song so many times in different bands, was always such a delight! 🙂
I cried on the arrangment of can you feel the love tonight at the key change from Ab to Bb!!
I wish I could play this in my school. This is awesome!!!
Definitely the best piece I played way back in 7th grade.

Yeah my middle school band plays 4 and 4,5s. 4s are high school 4.5 is high school honors, I believe 3.5 is advanced middle school and so on :)
