This is a very awesome piece. Me and my band classmates are trying to play this for one of our concerts, possibly our spring concert. I love how this song defines "Red Giant" about a giant star in its last stages and trying to stay strong and/or find its way to stay in outer space. Great work!

@Ngozika-sh9yo YouTube

I seriously can't get this song out of my head!!! It's soooo GOOD!!!!! Like literally I sing this everywhere! (I'm a trombone player, best brass instrument ever, no take-backs) Fav part is 37 to 50, where we have the melody, and measure 80 to 88. We played this for a concert and everyone was blown away, even first band (I was second band, Symphonic Winds in middle school) LIKE THIS SONG IS TOO FIRE🔥🔥✨ Thank you Jorge L. Vargas SO MUCH, your taste in music is amazingly the best, no cap. God Bless✨

I play trumpet and baritone TC, so I played Barton TC for this part. However, I switched back to trumpet, and this is quite a challenge because you have to move very fast, and I'm playing first part, so good luck to me. Wonderful song.
