    This song has a backstory at my school! We had this really good activities director who took care of all the activities, not just the sports and this was his favorite song. When he died, they had the band play Sweet Caroline as the funeral procession went by! And now we play it at every basketball game, in the gym that they named after him!
    Edit: Accidentally wrote athletics director instead of activities director and didn't notice it until like 3 years later, my bad haha

    We played this at a school concert once. It was amazing when about 90% of the audience shouted "BUM BUM BAAAAAAAA" at that part in the song. After we finished, we received a standing ovation.

      Yea I would also to but my Alto Sax 🎷 is at the school 🏫 yea I just play off the piano 🎹 well technically a keyboard 🎹 but I like to call it my Yamaha piano 🎹. Yea I am a Junior in High School 🏫 who plays 31 instruments but mainly the Alto Saxophone 🎷 and the piano 🎹 run 2 Facebook pages and a UA-cam channel straight from my phone 📱. And I from South Alabama a very small town in Castleberry Alabama and go to T. R. Miller HS in Brewton Alabama and obviously play in their band which is the T. R. Miller HS “Tiger” Band 🎶 . I would say it’s a marching band but you know it changes about every season in band and stuff like that. Like concert season it would be called a Symphonic Band for us . But I would play mind but it’s at the School 🏫 and yea I played my piano 🎹 about all night last night just about ... 🎶🎷🎹🎸🐅🦅🇺🇸

    Were Playing this at universal Florida, more than half of our drumline just isn't going, so we have 2 front members playing bass, one playing snare, and me (a freshman bass drum player) playing quads. We have 1 week to memorize it wish us luck
