I play the flute and in seventh grade I remember the notes being too high for me to comprehend but now I've practiced a ton and it's much better

Lol this song is what imprinted an ego boost in all of the trumpets tenfold. I felt like I was all that when I played this with trumpet in 6th grade 😎

I played trombone on this song, it was my favorite band year (marching band now) I played it in 7th grade 2 years ago, but it feels like it just happened. We went to Carowinds and played this too

I played flute and played the trumpet part with my best friend. Measure 57 was the greatest part of the song, both I and my trumpeter friend started calling complicated and fun parts the "measure 57" because of this song!
