the rite of spring is such a cool concept for a marching band show

[@calvinnguyen1870]

Ah, rite of spring. The only reason to have a bassoon anywhere near a football field lol

[@mickeysapprentice4013]

The fact that our Marching Band show had a bassoon solo from our center snare

[@jarprt7071]

We had a bassoon solo this year. He played the firebird solo. It was so cool.

[@ChocolateSoda1]

Love your vids! Makes me wish I didn’t stop playing bassoon after high school

[@thedankknight8333]

You’re telling me soloists don’t march? 😢

[@1DK_I23]

Bassoons don’t march

[@markgomez3162]

My drum major has a bassoon solo to start off our show this year and it’s really good

[@josegadon203]

I thought bro was carrying a musket 💀

[@Vadow789]

My senior year show was based on Rite of Spring and we even had an Oboe soloist!

[@ethanthemanman]

I can neither confirm nor deny if this is true

[@lolok1997]

its either this...

[@theblackbanana1157]

and this is why i waited until concert band to tell my director i can play bassoon

[@philoneko7632]

I’m a bassoonist, and this is SO relatable 😂

[@BandKidBambi]

Me reading the title like

[@drewmeier17]

As an oboist, I can confirm the pain of not being able to match with the instrument. If you march with a double reed instrument it could potentially stab you on the roof of your mouth. Over the course of 3 months, I learned tenor saxophone and marched with that instead and am now pursuing both oboe and saxophone. I am playing saxophone in jazz band and marching band exclusively and oboe in concert band exclusively. I am now first chair saxophone and lead soloist for my band. It shows how dedication can really pay off.

A fellow re:Rite of Spring enjoyer!

[@greatday9805]

Rite of Spring!

[@timc7543]

The band starts playing the "Augurs of Spring" movement after his solo, marching band-style. lol.

[@calliarcale]

Rite of Spring would make an awesome field show.
