Real reactions from the players, directors & students who love The Curse of Tutankhamun.
Played this in my all-region band 8th grade year, so cool to play as a clarinet!
Yooo, I remember playing this in 7th grade and I played snare lmao
Played this in 6th grade, it was soooooooooo good as a French horn!
Wooo, learning this as a tenor sax player!!!!! I just realized tenor sax only has the weird part no one else has in the middle with the G's and F's 💗😭
My band is playing this for our last concert for me being in the 8th grade Symphonic Band, then going into high school, but memories with these songs!
Playing this my eighth year of school as the French horn, really cool!
I did this song for my 7th grade concert playing the timpani B)
I played this in the lowest band in middle school. It was hard at first but we got through it.
My class of 7th grade is playing this song with the eighth graders combined, and honestly it is such a cool piece, and for me, because I play the bass clarinet, I get to play as loud as I want because I happen to be the only bass clarinet in my whole school, but still, an amazing piece!
Played this in 7th. Funny and uncommon, I actually played the gong for this song! I was the only one in the entire band to play gong for this.
This was one of my favorite pieces to play in regionals in 8th grade. (Sophomore Trombone)
I played this in junior high band class. I was the tuba guy.
My band played this for sight-reading practice, and we, the bass clarinets, were the only section that could play their part :) #bestsectionintheband
This brings back memories of fifth grade. Go clarinet!
Played this for 3rd grade, it was so fun. Now in 7th grade we play Mozart arrangement 7 Moonlight Sonata. It's a little tricky but still easy.
