Real reactions from the players, directors & students who love Cango Caves.
I remember playing this in the final concert of my sixth grade year. Three and a half years ago. Gosh, how time flies...
I played this at my concert as a 6th grade clarinet who joined band mid-semester and crushed this piece
You don't understand how loud the saxophones are in my band. You can only hear them
While I am a low brass player, I love the woodwind part of this piece.
I played this song for our winter concert about a month ago and this is my favorite
Did this my sixth grade year. We sounded very decent 👌🏽. I play trombone by the way 😌✌🏽. I think the melody for us was a bit hard tho 🥶.
I'm so excited that my band gets to play this! We love this song so much as well. It's fun to play. I love how dark and dramatic it sounds 🙂.
I love this song. It is my favorite of three (El Vaquero and Zombie Stop are the others). I play the clarinet. This song is so much faster in the tape we listen to in band class, but I love it!!! Like if you love this song because I think it is awesome!
Love this song. I am playing the conga for this. I keep bragging saying I am the lead role (conga, conga). But the bells and trumpets play the melody, and I don't play 25 measures in this song. So I bragged for no reason! Dang it!!!!!!! Also, where is my percussion gang at???
Omg, I'm doing this in middle school right now. I play tenor saxophone and our part is just 👌🏻
This song is my favorite from the three (first: Winter Sleigh Ride, Dominance, Cango Caves) for our winter concert in band. PS: I play clarinet
Just did this in honor band today. I'm a trumpet
First piece I've ever played. Glockenspiel was the first thing I ever played 😂
We played this song. I played the timpani. It was fun!
This song gives me memories of 6th grade.... Oh the good ol' days
