This is a fantastic arrangement, but let's not kid ourselves: this is higher than a grade 4. The high C on the ledger lines in the first trombone alone is enough to bump it up to a 5.

Man, I'm so glad I had the opportunity to play this in high school. Literally a once in a lifetime.

Incroyable arrangement avec chaque pupitre à fond, special dédicace aux trompettes ! Et quel chorus de baryton ! 👏 Incredible arrangement with every section playing at full throttle, special shout-out to the trumpets! And what an improvisation from the baritone saxophone! 👏

Fun chart. I was lucky enough to play 1st bone on it what must have been almost 15 years ago. Funny to see it pop up on YT now.

It's about time first trombone actually gets to use their range holllyyyyy...like if first trumpet constantly plays in the stratosphere why can't first trombone? It's kinda stupid if you're playing lead and never going above high concert F
