    😭🥺 that moment when your band director has this as the very last piece so your notes sound spitty and wet. We had 8 songs to play. Bridgeview, fire dance, Under an Irish sky, Loch Lomond, Moscow 1942, Nebula, Arabian dances, and Rippling watercolors. The band director we had for this passed away due to a heart attack and I miss him so much. I was his most improved player 💔 everyone else hated him but he helped me improve and see the beauty in the fact that they aren't just notes you play on a page. They move you

      Fire dance is probably an all time favorite of mine

      My band director is the same he told us during rippling make a story out of the song and act like your playing for a loved one and put your soul into it

    This song makes me cry. I still remember the first time I ever heard it when my brothers were playing it, and I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. It made me happy and sad at the same time, which is a feeling I hope not to forget. Such a beautiful and emotional piece and is one of those moments you know music has emotion.

    remember playing this in my last concert in 7th grade. That last visit to the band room felt like leaving home for a long time and never coming back. I wasn't placed into band the following year.
    I come back to listen every now and then. Still brings tears to me eyes from when i last performed it.

    Im in 6th grade and I'm going to play with thr honor band of my school being only a beginner since I already had experience with other instruments, they're making me play the harp (not frequent instrument for band or at all kinda) with anither kid in eigth grade that plays the harp as well and its something amazing specially bc I've wanted to play the harp my whole life. I'm going to play this song on my Christmas concert and it's a dream come true to play with the honor band of my school congratulations to anyone that has played this beautiful song before
