[@colinoconnor9852]

i played the solo and it was so fun to play

[@elividal9888]

I am usually a happy 3rd trombone (we get fun tunes like afternoon) but this just makes me want to be 1st trombone so bad

[@BananaMike07]

So glad I’m first trombone

[@noahmartindale8873]

I just finished sophomore year where I play and that was my first time playing solos my my director reserved this one for my senior year and I can't wait!

This song is awesome, doing it with a high school jazz band that I’ll go to next year with our jazz band so a combined concert which is cool tbh

[@keepinitsaxy4273]

This is a great arrangement, did a solo on tenor sax with this.

[@achilles3078]

Hello fellow tenor sax. Don’t see many of you around anymore

[@shawnhernandez9918]

I'm a tenor Sax and I'm making a solo for this, I have 4 days till our concert

[@tituscaesar6960]

[@asunderwolf20]

Fellow tenor sax here, I just recently did my first solo for this is a freshman, fakin terrifying

[@asunderwolf20]

Also how do you guys not just squeak a lot at the D to C sharp part 😭

[@drawingsandthings1291]

I remember playing this in jazz band and stopped when quarantine started, came back to listen to this almost a year later and the song still slaps

[@emmasnipes7209]

I’m playing it in Jazz band, I’m an alto saxophone

[@CosmicPigeonn]

Our old jazz band worshiped this song. But fun fact: We all still secretly do.
Also funnest set song I’ve ever played

[@reesearoni4606]

My middle school played this and it’s the most amazing thing ever period. The solos were amazing

[@kxlei05]

Played this two years in a row and got both trombone solos for it both years 😂🤙🏼

[@karamabilmouna7802]

Played this chart in middle school; it’s a pretty epic chart

[@tromboneman4517]

Sniker Chiken, I played this chart back in Middle School as well. Those years were a pretty rough time for me, but being in jazz band was one of my best memories of that time.

[@riangunnoe563]

Same here. Played trumpet one year and electric bass another

[@conwaytheel]

I love this song so much, playing it at a concert in two days. Piano gang lets go!!

[@judesmith9109]

pog song and even more pog for drumset

[@stefceusplays8551]

[@5crwd]

That dislike is from someone who can't drive.

[@cadenmc3961]

[@shrillkorey4038]

Lol🤣

[@robocfam4577]

XD

[@giornogiovanna269]

Back when we could see dislikes 🥲

[@Jude-wy4xx]

Screw you for that comment a lot of us can’t see the road all that well

[@JoeDFWAviation]

My favorite chart we did in jazz ensemble

[@parmesancheez6087]

One of my favorite songs to play for my schools marching band

[@RustySpoon2280]

playing this in my schools jazz band and im gonna get to play that trombone solo at the end it sounds so good! just gotta work on getting that gritty tone

[@zaita109]

We finna play this in our high school jazz band along with night and day, and second line sadie. This song slaps so hard i love it

[@EchoSnake999]

Got this today for jazz band. LOVE IT SO MUCH.

[@abrahamgonzalez5636]

[@arobrain2174]

this song absolutely slaps

[@nickdahlin641]

this chart is amazing
reminds me of providence kids

[@geography2133]

I played this last year in stage band. Alto sax here!

[@WillTheBassPlayer]

I really hope I can get to do pep band this winter. This is one of my favorites

[@bgumbleton]

Would love to play this with my jazz band!

[@grug5431]

Anyone got any way to help me go this night for the solo on 1:48 because I want to do this improvisation but I can’t play that high

[@sirduckworth4044]

Love this song❤❤❤❤❤

[@HomedawgEliteBeats]

We are doing this for our jazz band at school it's gonna be fire

[@aizakkutheweeaboo6429]

the jazz band i was in recently performed this song again and we had multiple solos with our little variation for this song. i almost punched one of my friends in the face out of sheer excitement and energy LOL

[@treestar22]

I played this in middle school jazz band and it was the best song we played

[@katiaseabrook9809]

This song will be played in the car when I get my license

[@andrewvario3949]

I just played this in Wall intermediate 7th-8th grade jazz band

[@alevogt-larson4921]

Play at 1.25x speed, it’s more accurate to how most bands play it

[@Flowerxchild60]

You're not wrong. 😂

[@panicinthestudio3978]

*plays double speed*

[@carsonshutts3599]

I’d say like 1.15 is more accurate. 1.25 is slightly too fast, but yeah most bands play it a lot faster.

[@wooba7817]

My jazz band played this at a masterclass/clinic once, and we were out of time so we played it 1.25x

[@wettham5651]

1:39 yeah the trombone solo is cool and all, but HOW ABOUT THOSE SNAZZY TROMBONE DROPS?!?!

[@kaiturner2824]

legendary.

[@a_rlybaddecision]

playing this for middle school jazz band this song is such a ✨bop✨

[@BreZuniga-gh5lb]

Played it on Vibraphone 2 years ago, and now im playing it on flute 😄

[@MG-ts1xs]

hot. damn.

[@PanchampionTime]

lmao

[@conwaytheel]

hell. yeah

[@slimr1]

1:47

[@ModestNeophyte]

Friend just sent this to me, I said "wow this sounds like the start of a 70's detective/cop show"

[@Jude-wy4xx]

This is a banger

[@yaboicatman4611]

Idk why But I really like the Part when the 1st Trumpet Part Slurs the half notes from a D to a C Sharp

[@ernestcassler2505]

Nice ❤❤❤

[@laurin_203]

Can you please upload the Vehicle arrangement by Paul Jennings 🙏

[@em-wx9jg]

listen im playing this in middle school and obvi this professional recording is nothing to hold our not-so-merry group of 6, 7, and 8th graders to but god do we suck compared to this 😭

[@CaeleyTierney]

I'm 1st tenor sax for this in my jazz band.

[@CourageJDKrl]

SAMEEEE

[@harrison9239]

For the trombone solo, does anyone have the sheet music for the part that's not written out. Like measures 50-60?

[@chasekline4572]

It sounds like the guy playing is doing improv so probably not:(

[@harrison9239]

I've looked at other recordings of Vehicle (performed by high school bands) and they do the same thing the trombone player in this recording so Idk if there's a sheet or they just experiment on how to play it

[@chief2632]

@@harrison9239 I transcribed it once back in 2017 so I could play it for my band but I don’t think there’s any actual sheets for it, it was just improv’ed . I think I still have the transcription somewhere if you want it but I think some parts might not be 100% accurate bc it’s hard to hear clearly in places

[@timor-leste]

@@chief2632 any way you could send me the transcription?

[@Bmh51]

I am playing this on tenor one only 3 days after GETTING my tenor so this song is absolutely terrible but I love

[@CourageJDKrl]

What’s the metronome at?

[@SirKahuna18]

The Bari Sax solo in my group was elite

[@ghostfrosty8864]

this on alto is so fun

[@hawkeye2958]

The “optional” guitar is playing louder than the entire trumpet section somehow

[@EthanPlaysGuitar14]

Yeah. I got to play this with my jazz band and I just cranked my amp up and nobody cared.

[@kharimarquette]

Ah, yes. Gonna Fly Now.

[@nvirdf]

good ass composition

[@theblackhawkcrew9584]

Can you play the solo for tenor sax to?

[@zeed7407]

I mean I think they read the same range? You might have to transpose a bit because I don't think they read notes the same

[@CavinLee]

I’m playing drums and we’re using a singer.

[@KaiandAdrianjestandgilandharry]

This makes me miss them a lot :(( ... good song tho lol

[@cyberwyber4558]

my friend (first trumpet) is going to play a double high d on the first note of the second measure he better not screw it up in the concert

[@waterfishyfishy7837]

Anyone who says this song isn't a Bop needs to leave before I leak there adress

[@N0rmalDude]

*their

[@jesseshaw2763]

Great Song! The tempo of this song needs to be faster! Come on, drive that vehicle!

[@jackp-w3886]

Jack P-W hey same

[@JohnDoe-mh9ws]

[@gtag_skitz2976]

Anyone else play tenor sax?

[@landsproduction6702]

Arranged by Ralph Ford....

[@NoahJumbeck-cf6rl]

Reminds me of Brooklyn Nine-Nine

[@NoahShiley]

Eventually, composers will write the Bass Trombone part in the pedal range for a whole piece.

[@calebpeterson6723]

played this in 2nd grade jazz band

[@N0rmalDude]

You had jazz band in second grade? Luck

[@rest..]

[@N0rmalDude]

[@CourageJDKrl]

[@rest..]

@@CourageJDKrlhaha that was a while ago. i remember being super scared. it went well bro

[@CourageJDKrl]

@@rest.. glad it went well I wanna play that but I’m in concert band I really want Jazz band so I can go to Disney land and perform there my school goes to Disney land for that song

[@cjshardcorepunkmusicvault8474]
