Description
Well, you've probably heard of tributes to almost everything, but how about a tribute to bugs? Yes, with tongue very much in cheek, Michael Story has penned this original novelty to bring more than just a snicker from your audiences. Hear the insect as it approaches (your trumpet section playing on mouthpieces) and a resounding "slap" as the culprit is sent to greener pastures. Add some visuals from the band as the insect "circles," and you have yourself a guaranteed successful concert moment. For you environmentalists: No harmful pesticides are included. (Oh my, that's "OFF"-ful!) (1:45)

Does anyone else go back and listen to their old concert pieces from when they were really young just for the nostalgia? I played this in 6th grade and now I'm in 11th and it brings back so many memories 😊

As a flute of only 1 person during this concert, it was basically like my solo during the end!

I play the flute, and when we play the long bit at first with the slur, I always find myself going WAY TOO FAST and my band teacher tells me to slow down

I get to play this for my Winter concert and I'm so excited! I'm a Bb clarinet and I rarely get to do low notes anymore—they're always "above the bridge." Plus we never get the melody anymore and we finally got it! I love spooky music. ❤

I'm playing this for my 7th grade Halloween concert! Kinda nervous because we have a special part added to it, but I believe in us!

I sight read this song today in 8th grade band and I honestly love it so much. I'm a trombonist so I don't really get much in the song, but I just love the melody. It's going next to Dark Matter and Red in my favorites❗️❗️

Bruh, I played this for my 6th grade Halloween concert :( time went by too fast, I swear. Also, I would always laugh at the trumpet mouthpiece part. I'ma freshman clarinet player now and listening to this gives me flashbacks

I love how the trumpets imitate the creepy crawlies in this piece.

I played woodblock and helped fill in a few spots in the beginning band and it was super fun and I'm so glad we have little percussionists

LMAO! We played this in middle school! That was so long ago. 20 years ago to be exact. Wow... I'm old. I still have that clarinet. Carried me through high school and district honor band. Ahh... memories

I just played the 6th grade band spring concert like 30 mins ago and wanted to come hear the original soundtrack 💀🔥🎊

@los3rrat143 YouTube

I can't wait to play this at my spring concert (even though I think it's more of a Halloween song😋). It's super fun

Playing this Monday for my spring concert (I play trombone) and it's my favorite song out of the 3 I play (Windborn, The Winged Serpent, and this) purely because of how easy and nice it sounds

@ColdTeaaa YouTube

I haven't played this song since 6th grade and I remembered my band director gave the trumpets boomwackers—yeah, sitting right behind them, that sound gets annoying (I played Euphonium)

@SillyTopHatMan YouTube

We're playing this music this year for our Halloween concert. I love the part where you remove the mouthpiece lol (I play trumpet btw)

I have to play this for my 7th grade concert and I told my teacher "this is why us trumpet bugs have bug depression" 😂

@colleens1107 YouTube

I'm playing this for spring concert (I'm a trombone). It sounds good—the woodwinds got a good melody and it sounds even better with the low brasses

Lmao, I remember playing this in 6th grade. I played flute (still do) and thought this was difficult
