We played this for our spring concert and I was the one who got the solo in the beginning!

We played this at one of our comps last year and I got the starting solo! (we use seating auditions in our band and I was first chair flute so I was excited to play this solo) I'm so glad that practice worked. Anyone who has this song, I recommend trying to slow down and play at a tempo where you can play/hit all of the notes then start speeding up from there!

I'm a clarinet. And while at first I disliked this song a little, I have grown to get used to the high notes and love this song for the environment it creates.
