Bro this is the best version of Sleigh ride I’ve ever heard, you guys did amazing ty for making this video I was looking forward to it a lot, I love playing the alto, and this was so amazing to see.
I play alto and this is my first year, I’m already progressing faster than the other students and they suck. This is really refreshing to hear alto players that are actually good
This is so refreshing to hear! In our band the director for whatever reason makes brass cover up the woodwinds for every song so I can never hear altos 😭 you all sounds amazing !!
I know I’m still somewhat new to the alto but how can you move your tongue and fingers that fast? I tried playing both sleigh ride 1st and 2nd part and I just couldn’t get it
Honestly I still kinda struggle with that too. For getting your tongue to be faster, I’d say relax your embouchure while making the back of your tongue your molars. The only thing I can recommend for your fingers is finding a technical book with exercises you can practice. There’s plenty out there you can find. Of course, everyone learns differently but I’m sure with practice you’ll become a great musician!
I love how in sleigh ride you can almost always manage to hear the bass clarinetist
Finally an alto sound that doesn’t make me wanna kill myself! You guys sound amazing! The altos in band at my school suck.
Thank you! But I’m sure practice will help them sound better.
Fr though 💀
oh lol the horns in my band r bad and only one of the trumpets sounds good 😭 im the oboe player
and the worst trumpet in band is for some reason 1st trumpet like his tone is HORRIBLE OMGGGGG
why did the kids on trumpet (braeden) at this same concert get 500k veiws buy you only get 3.3k? we neen to fix that
Womp womp
this is a different band tho
Braeden's video was made a year ago
lil bro that was like two years ago
(I think)
@@KikiGarcia-we2wq 1 year ago actually but yes your right
Our band tried to play it this year and just couldn’t get it ready in time! Happy to see what it could’ve been like lol😭
Aw man I’m sorry! But hey there’s always next year, glad you enjoyed!

I have a feeling the trumpets took a vid as well
I WAS JUST THINKING THE SAME THING
@@lizz6387 yeah i just watched it
Braeden’s vid was a year before this one(i still watch these even though its spring)
Great job! It’s sounded amazing! ❤
Thank you so much!!
ITS FINALLY HERE 🎉🎉🎉

That's the instrument I play too! Sax 4 life :D
This is so refreshing to hear! In our band the director for whatever reason makes brass cover up the woodwinds for every song so I can never hear altos 😭 you all sounds amazing !!
Frr😢
Thank you! I know exactly how you feel. Altos especially are told to play quieter in our band.
@@benballard exactly it’s not fair 😭😢
@@MadisonTimeseven my fellow altos don’t like how loud I play what am I suppose to do?
@@benballard sometimes I wish that I played trumpet😤
What reed do you use?
I use a 3 vandoren blue box reed for concert
2:11
Great job this year! I see you moved up to the first part. Your tone has improved a lot. Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much!
i think this also took place in braeden's vid
Braeden was playing in this recording. But his video took place last year.
@@benballard ohhhh okay tyyy
