@@hectorcayetano7341 same with us and our new song Lmao. My friend had to attach a drumstick to a hat so he could play cymbals and wind chimes at the same time, it was hilarious.
I’m so lucky my school is an extremely small school so we don’t even have enough to do this for seven minutes. Becuase right now I’m the only clarinet in the JH band.
I’m a middle school flute player self teaching clarinet and will be in high school next year, I hope I play sleigh ride next year it looks so fun and I like it in general.
I wish our band had percussion. The percussions section is always so energetic and cool, I don't think people understand that a band needs percussion, it's a very important role that keeps the band together.
Yess I’m percussion and it’s so fun! In class we always js be in the back laughing and all the percussionists r js good friends and were definitely the band teachers favorites 😻
as someone who is a percussionist, any time I wasn’t playing for a section, me and my friend (who was also in percussion) would just be vibing to the music. Especially in this one song, Colossus, where I had crash cymbol and he had triangle. Every time I had to crash the cymbals together, he would say "crash" in the most monotone voice you can imagine. Good times.😂
As a flute player for my school I am desperately trying to convince the 2 music teachers to do this song this Christmas. I am definitely going to show this to them how they can have fun AND be amazing at playing aswell. But honestly the man in the back at 1:28 was so hilarious. Not to mention the smack was on beat like they planned it 😂
Seeing this video while thinking of quitting band and percussion for multiple reasons made me realize that these are the things I might be doing when I'm older so thank you !!!
Bro this audience be real hype 😭meanwhile the one we did last week they started clapping during one of the rests, she also had us doing some chamber group thingy and she didn't have enough chairs for my group so I had to go back and get my own chair and then the kid next to me claimed I took his chair and me and this other kid tried telling him that his chair was right there but he didn't listen and grabbed another chair and then once he realized put it in the row behind us oh my goodness that concert felt very rushed tbh :,)

us percussion section are always talking about how we're the best section LMAO. not just bc like oh we're so amazing but our section plays the most instruments and we like get really hyped up.
At my Christmas consert we had this dude that eats protein powder for breakfast to play the slapping thing and he did not hesitate to make a noise it was so loud
bruh yall percussionists have so much fun and i play bass clarinet and in my band the clarinets sit like in the front front which means if i get even slightly off track for like 0.1 seconds the band director is like "bro are u serious right now" 😭😭
As someone who has played this piece before in band this stuff is hard to learn for a middle school band so we didn’t do it like them but I played marimba with a friend and this shit can be difficult I don’t think I could ever play as good as they can
They're having way too much fun, my band directors would chew us out if we did this during a concert. But hey it's Christmas (when this video was recorded obviously) and the crowd enjoyed it so I'm not gonna be critical👏👏
Man….why do percussionists get to have so much fun? As an alto sax player, I hated sleigh ride. You either get boring parts, or the high notes killed you. It’s amazing how much fun you can have when you don’t have to have an instrument in your mouth the entire time
Sure is different from the flute section view! ( I play flute piccolo). I would have thought jumping with the slapstick would make it harder to stay in time. Did you ever have any accidents or trip over things while jumping?

I think your snare might need some tuning. that snare drum sounds so off imo. other than the wacky snare, this was great, and yall put a lot of personality into the music! Just a tip, putting a phone or a wallet onto your snare drum will get rid of that ringy, open sound and make it sound better and more in tune. also, your snare player was very loud (probably caused by the microphone angle), which did not help with the wacky sounds coming from it.

This is such fun to watch. A really festive atmosphere. I like how the two young men are taking turns and sharing the laughs.
Said with the greatest affection from a brass player: "Typical percussionists!" 😊
Being in the flute section right in front of the conductor, I always wanted to fool around with the percussion crew and have some fun!
Yesssssss. As a fellow flute, I agree. It feels so stressful in the flute section, trying not to die from forgetting to BREATH

Respect that you can hear the ACTUAL crescendo (before the whip crack) on the temple blocks everyone.
I love their bestie energy
This is the most accurate thing I’ve seen in a while
Love the elf on his shoulder

respect for the guy having a blast in the back
the percussion kids had it so easy, they can literally just sit and talk for half the song.
Then there is the really hard stuff where we play 5 things in one measure
We did this every year when I was in the high school band in the mid 70s. I played French horn. Good memories 😊
