Real reactions from the players, directors & students who love The Polar Express, Concert Suite from.
Played this my senior year and I had the clarinet lil solo part thingy😌 beyond fun
Love when I play third trombone and you can't hear the tubas to tune so you just have to pray you're right🙏🙏 Pray for me y'all we put this on next week
Currently a junior in high school, 1st chair clarinet. I'm having so much fun playing this piece!! Although I hate the 16th notes in the beginning of "The Polar Express" part. Other than that, I love this piece.
Senior year of high school! We're doing this! The trumpet 1 part is *chef's kiss*. Sounds like a chop buster being our last song among multiple other 7 minute songs (new director) but I LOVE IT.
Dude I played this exact music with my middle school band except our director put some of his own music in so each instrument had some great moment like my clarinet
Dude, the key change at measure 97! That isn't even in the concert band arrangement. Honestly kinda glad there isn't. I'd hate to play F# major.
