As a French Horn Player, the horn has some very important parts in this piece. It is quite simple and a very beautiful song. Btw... I am in the 7th grade band and have had the privilege to play with the high school band and other top bands in my state.

I love this piece remotely because it takes unity of the band. Everyone has to have the right pitch and volume.

The harmony and synchronization in this piece doesn't make it feel like a grade 1. This piece packs a lot of dynamic contrasting and control which makes it more difficult than it looks. I've heard high school groups play this piece and it was nowhere near average. Do not underestimate this piece.

I played this song in 8th grade. I'm a trumpet, I played at my fundraiser concert and now I'm a sophomore. I'm gonna learn clarinet.

It reminds me of my freshman year when I was in interim band... This song makes me cry because it reminds me of the day when our band performed this song and that's the night where me and my ex girlfriend were catching feelings for each other and it was beautiful. We had so much fun... I still remember the smiles, the laughs, and giggles... I miss that sweet connection we had...

I'm a clarinet player. I love the sound but after such pain to my cheeks and lips is unbelievable.

I wish this had a better sax part. I can't believe I have to get excited when I see a note that isn't over 1 beat long at 70 bpm.

Had to play this at a UIL concert (8th grade symph. band). It sounded really good, but we sound so bad compared to this recording.

Me and the rest of the trombone section nicknamed this counting simulator.

As an 8th grader who plays bass clarinet, it is very hard since the tempo goes really slow.

I had to play this with my band and I hated it for the French horns. No rests to breathe besides like 5 random ones.

We're playing this for UIL. I have the timpani part. Pretty easy if I say so myself.

I'm playing this for my 7th grade concert. It sounds good but none of us like playing it 😭
