Real reactions from the players, directors & students who love Carol of the Bells.
2019 anyone......I play bass drum on this my arm gets tired but this is amazing the whole school in my auditorium loved it
I'm a tuba player personally still love this song even though there's not many exciting parts for us. I still get caught up in the melody while playing such a rush!
I play snare for this, it ain't easy, but simple at the same time
Why I hate this song is because (former clarinet player) that repeating those notes for a long time can get confusing and make you mess up if you're not careful, so be careful!!!
I played tuba it was very easy after 3 months of practice
I'm alto sax and I literally die every time at bar 37 T_T
I'm playing this in band as the with only one other flute and it's freaking sick. Btw this is my little brother's account, real account is Sacroin
I play the trombone it gets pretty intense in this song since we have most of the melodies. But practice enough you'll be fine.
I play alto saxophone on this and it is so fun
We are going to play this in my band but "make it sound like we are going into war" is how my band director said it. An accent on the first note of each measure and a gradual accelerando
