      We had something similar, it was "APPLES are AWEsome and GRAPES really SatisFY" with those exact annunciations. That class sounded like a kindergarten class for a couple of weeks.

    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 just finished a concert where my 7th grade band had to play this. We sounded absolutely awful. Our clarinets squeaked, our trumpets couldn’t handle the held our notes, and our flutes rushed the entire song.

    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

    It's an easy song, but it still sounds really good.

      I know you've probably already played this, but you'll probably end up with 5-6 parts in a piece again eventually, so I'll give you my advice. Line the instruments up in the order you play them, or in a way that makes it easy to switch back and forth. Highlight your parts in different colors so they stand out. Make a legend if you have to. This helped me when I had multiple parts.
