    This was the first concert piece I played as a freshman in HS. Now I’m teaching the piece to our band.
    So happy right now!😊

      I was a bassoonist long ago (01-08). Played this piece too. Sometimes having to hold that by myself or holding up a weak low voice section.
      The last time I played it was in 07 with the freshman band and myself and the bass clarinet player took a breath at the very same time, leaving a break in that low G. It was hilarious. A fun piece. Listen to it every year
