if you aren't sweating after playing this piece you're doing something wrong. 😂 after playing this song in rehearsal, i'm all pumped up and sweating a bit. i play second violin for this song in my orchestra, i can't imagine how the firsts feel after playing it.

This piece is such a fun and challenging song to perform! I played my 8th grade year and it's one of my favorite songs I still play it ❤️. Richard Meyer is also one of my fav music composers 🎵.

I played this in 8th grade for a presentation thing at the end of the year and my group had only been playing for 3 years prior and two of the four people had a breakdown and cried when we performed, me and the violin 2 had to carry for about 15 measures. This piece is insane
