It's been almost 10 years since I played this piece (I played flute). And even though I quit band at 14, I'm 20 now and I still remember and find myself going back to old pieces like these. Truly a masterpiece of music.

When you're struggling with the clarinet part but you have all of the notes down. Edit: I just had my concert, rocked it, and had to turn in my copy of sheet music. I'm so sad frfr 😭 The Tell Tale Heart lives in my brain rent free. Thank you (Band Director) for introducing me to this song and easing me into being a new clarinetist.

I played snare drum on this song and it was such an awesome experience. I loved every second of it, increasing and decreasing the volume with the 16th notes and how it felt like the heartbeat of the song, just as I was taught.
