Clarinet for the win

[@millimetersofmercury]

I remember I loved playing this piece in middle school band. It was simple and relatively easy but sounded more dramatic and intense than other similar difficulty pieces with the chromatic downward line in the bass and the little upbeat pounds at the end. More novice pieces should be like this one.

[@Scorpiot]

Good ol' Michael Sweeney man. We've played a lot of his songs in our band and they're all awesome.

[@destpala4650]

One of my favorite songs in band.
