    Bro I love Michael, his stuff goes hard. I love playing his pieces in band. Ever heard or played Spy Chase by him? Fire stuff dude. Playing triangle and cymbal in that song was lit. I did snare in this one, I had no experience with snare other than a drum set in my basement, and our usual snare drummer was like: “yeah, cymbal” so I was left as the only snare drummer in the entirety of 7th and 8th grade band.
    Edit: I wasn't thinking straight. Spy Chase is by Brant Karrick, not Michael Sweeney

    I did this piece once In 7th grade, but I also happen to have a very poignant memory associated with it. So I'll probably never forget this song

    I get to play this in my band concert in December, looking forward to it, but kinda scared. 7th grade band is something else.

    honestly we kinda sucked at it and we did have to cut some measures out because we would not be able to make those work in the span of 2 days so . yeah
    it was kinda fun though

    Okay this sounds dumb but when I first heard of this song I thought it was gonna be the theme song to Survivor because it’s official name is also “Ancient Voices” so that was confusing 😂
