วีดีโอ

I've sat in the band hall and had a mental breakdown because I wasn't ready to rehearse this song. I've gone home and cried about it. I've hyperventilated in a practice room just thinking about practicing Sleigh Ride. I've dreamed about playing it beautifully and I've dreamed about totally screwing it up during the concert, then dying. I've woken up in a cold sweat in the middle of the night, my first coherent thought being "SLEIGH RIDE." It played in my head for months on end and I couldn't go more than 5 minutes without thinking about it. This song made me consider seeing a therapist. My heart rate still gets faster due to an anxiety if I so much as listen to Sleigh Ride. If it comes on the radio while I'm in the car, I will jump out. Leroy Anderson's ghost haunts me life; I see him everywhere, no matter the time of year. I hear Sleigh Ride playing in the background constantly, even when it isn't there. This song had caused me heart issues, anxiety disorders, and PTSD. Send help, please... (I played 1st Cornet part in Sleigh Ride with my trumpet my freshman year of high school and I have never been the same.)

im playing temple blocks on this song im so excited to destroy my hands with those triplets. my wrists already hurt mimicking them

cool

I’m traumatized by trying to learn this in less than a week from performance day.

As a Euphonium player i cry when i see the octave G CLARINETISTS DO NOT SPEAK TO ME I KNOW

If your band director gives this to your group, that means they think highly of your flutes and clarinets ❤

I LOVE THIS.

Marvelous.

Where’s the piano score?

cool

i remember this from 8 grade band omg

Love it, we had a really good bell player when we played it. I wanna hear more of it here!

I died mid concert trying to play this in first part

cool

Pfft the saxophones should have the same melody as the trumpets

0:15

Audience: this sounds nice Band: this sounds nice Flute: mY lUnGs

Have fun with all those high notes💀 -first chair flute (I’m the only one)💀💀

ive only played this song once 💔 my band director did NOT like this piece

The energy felt in the trombone section is indescribable in words. Especially at 1:50.

I love this massive community of band kids in the comments totally unified by sleigh ride 😅

Recorded in mono sound in 1952 at Decca Records Studios.

I actually played this song with my high school band for our Winter Concert this year. This version of Sleigh Ride sounds very fit for a movie.

im learning the horse perc. part and whip crack just with drum sticks and a drum pad but im a flute-

The sax part at 1:57 always gets me pumped, my fav part

Those trills scared me

bells carry ngl

First year playing Sleigh Ride this coming Tuesday, im excited!

It's obvious the whip crack came from a very angry parent

100% my favorite christmas song ever (specifically band version)

I feel you french horns

I played this a few times when I was in college band. This was such a fun piece to play to get you in the holiday spirit

practicing 1st clarinet, lets see how it goes!!

5:55

I don't care how overplayed this is, I absolutely adore this arrangement, and isn't Christmas until I hear it!

I played sleigh bells my sophomore year and I messed up so bad on it because I suck at keep up with tempo but it’s one of my favorite pieces

ander

1:57 Why do I hear that one marching band song

happy 2 be a saxophone ❤😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😅

2:00

that time of year again

I have to play it this year we are doing a Christmas sing a long, Sleigh ride, nutcracker, and The nightmare before Christmas

Wow, this is my last year coming back... Have a merry Christmas all! I hope your concerts all go well!

Playing clarinet part 1who? Not me😭

My band has been playing this song for our marching band holiday concert for 25 years in a row know and I’m getting tired of it I’m a sophomore this year so this will be my second time playing it

I haven't played this song in band yet, but I played the Euphonium and a few tries was all it took for me to play this correctly. Any fellow Euphonium players here?

Slapstick people! 👇
