One of the first songs from middle school I super loved, even all these years later it still rests in my mind. Great piece! The brass have such an overwhelming presence in its highlights.

We played this at a huge state finals. I am a percussionist, and my friend and I like snare drum and bass, stuff like that. But the problem was, there was only one snare drum, and I was first snare, meaning I got to choose my instrument first. One the last day before the concert, my friend asked to switch, he was on Timpani, and I had never played. So in desperation, he taught me in under an hour. We won the competition with flying colors

this was so fun to play!!, I had just come back from performing it and played it in our concert. I was a flute player for it, and played the solo during rehearsal. it's always so fun to play the solo and hear the band play it because of how good it sounds! :) edit: played this for the IGSMA competition last Saturday, it was amazing! out of 3 songs our band played this is my fav, it always sounds so emotional and I love it!
