Michael Puterbaugh lollll

[@Karen-hf4rf]

I am playing this on Wednesday it’s our winter concert I play trombone and we play this song and we play one called La Volta and another on called Jingle Bells and Jungle Drums

[@c43a.gc-2]

guys, this is a piece for more lower bands, not something like the original.

[@briancosner1365]

All the music theorists in here need to calm down - it's a Grade 2 piece...

[@erikrodriguez4977]

Sounds a lot like Battlerock Galaxy from Super Mario Galaxy.

[@Ginger5010]

+Erik Rodriguez (Luigi) thats because the Battlerock Galaxy music was based off of the original song

[@thewalmer7942]

what are these chords even

[@Georgiax0x0]

Bro I play alto sax and I rhythm is so off from everyone else it's like stressful

[@tml4437]

The tonguing is hard for trombones but a fun song

[@Karen-hf4rf]

TML 44 YES YES IT IS I PLAY TROMBONE IT IS SO HARD

[@omeganik]

At least keep it in the original key

[@mjb9295]

well it is made for kids

[@CrokedBlueCreeper101]

I thought Jay Bocook's arrangement was terrible, somehow someone made it even worse than an already existing terrible arrangement.

[@blazerivers3000]

Johhny vinson makes music for little kids

[@Twixted23]

Way off, original is in C and the counter melody (with triplets) starts on concert G not concert F

[@thechurchofshrekandlatterd1765]

Shut up

[@mlefeb]

This is worse than Bocook's arrangement!

[@mlefeb]

***** It's true lol

[@mlefeb]

***** At least Bocook uses a Tam-Tam in the beginning while this arrangement uses a suspended cymbal.

[@mlefeb]

***** You're a troll lol

[@amymilsten2673]

Matthew LeFebvre I agree I think this arrangement is no fun at all, the original is better no offense,

[@shannonstumpf1861]

I just dl'd sheet music for this, kind of feel gipped, lol. glad it was only 3 bucks. the original movement is 7 minutes long and a different key. wha???!!!

[@picklenumber6168]

The ending was too slow

[@agreenunderripebanana8901]

Actually, it wasn't slow enough!

[@bqpahdoesstuff5123]

The original is already better than this, but I am performing this. *sighs*
The first note in this arrangement is e flat but in the original it is actually g.
