My biggest flex is that I got to do the scream part at the end of this song when I was in band 😂

As a bassoon I can confirm that playing this at the concert finally gave the lows a good part XD

@AedanOlinick-ld7yt YouTube

I'm playing the siren whistle, the vibraslap, and I have the scream solo at the end. Last measure is gonna end me 😭🔫

I play mallet percussion in this song. (Xylophone) It's great. The one problem is that our teacher decided that SEVEN PEOPLE on xylophone was a good idea (we have two xylophones and a marimba that he doesn't let us touch)

i played this for my 6th grade marching band, and the kids who said they were the "rizz lords" always barked instead of yelling.
