As a middle school oboe, I legit have never seen a piece where we play this much without the flutes XD. Now I get to rub it in their faces ;-;

@bigboitime2357 YouTube

The point of the song being arranged like this is so middle school bands can play this. That doesn't mean we will forget the original Children's March. BTW ty for the song, it made playing it a lot easier

I started playing this at middle school in 6th grade. As an alto sax, I would say it was pretty fun and very good on the sound

@M.SuleimanJaweed YouTube

Tenor sax part is fun, my band is playing it for the spring concert

@cupf1sh YouTube

I play 3rd clarinet in this piece and we stand out more than the 2nds, and if only the other 3rds could figure out that we have like 5 key changes and that in the first part of the song it's not F natural but F#, maybe we'd sound good as a band
