I just played this for my winter concert ( I'm a junior in high school) and we played it in this speed, the notes for flute are tricky but keep practicing!
I play the saxophone, mostly the tenor and when I was in high school I found out the treble clef baritone part is usually MUCH better than the sax part . So, I regularly swiped the treble clef baritone music....all the baritone players we had read only bass clef.
Saxophones can double tongue. Even triple. I can only triple on soprano, but for doubling I use the word "tucker". I'll be playing tenor sax for this next month. Same part as trombone, but I won't have to slide... Haha.
I know yours is a fairly old comment, but I just wanted to point out that while saxophones can't double tongue, each key is a different note. Trombones have to figure out not only where to move the slide (could be sharp or flat) but also which note to play in that slide position. Not trying to demean saxophones, but also remember trombones are not usually the lead instrument.
My Girlfriend has to learn this song. For her College Band auditions. She plays flute if anyone has tips please feel free to share!! anything will help
wow.... and very humble just like the musicians other musicians dont want to play with. think way to much of themselves and ruin music as an enjoyable thing... you guys turn into some political game of whos pickle is bigger. .... just relax.
Actually you have no room to complain cause being a trombone player on this piece is very difficult having only a slide rather than valves or keys or mallets
bass trombone blatted 2x through first stanza. nice dynamics throughout. great intonation except trumpet section, wtf at the end? never it ended like it before.
Trombones have it the worst in this song...period... *conducter* "alrite everyone let's get out Rolling Thunder" *me, trombone player* "may I please use the restroom...I think I shat myself..."
I love this march so much!! Clarinet/Bass Clarinet!!
My favorite march to hear and play - trumpet.
This sounds amazing.. I love the trombone part...hopefully I could play it in baritone next year
Our Tenor Sax learned to double and triple tongue for this. She tore it up, at this tempo as well
flute part. gosh. so many runs!!!!!!!
The first trumpet part is hard as hell. It has the clarinet and flute parts. all those runs!!!!
I only did this as a sight reading assignment in class, I loved it, shame the band never got to play it
I played this song on Tuba in the 7th grade :) WINDS
Come on guys. All of you complaining about having to perform this. I marched this as my pregame my freshman year of college.

The dynamic format of this song actually reminds me of Barnum & Bailey's Favorite
+Vandal Well, this band kinda overdid it, but yeah I get what you mean.
@Dbatten07 When I saw this part, some of the notes were higher than I knew my saxophone could go.
this is by far my favorite version of this song, i prefer it over the marine band one.

tarron fowler lucky. I wish my band was playing this song. we are stuck playing the boring Washington post march :(

As a trombonist I don't think it's too hard, just that it looks intimidating at first.
IN ONE BREATH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
CAROLINA CROWN!!!!
Boss shit, I sightread this today. #Clarinetswag
Please teach me your ways. I have to play this for midstate band ._.
Excuss me, 1st chair? I am too and my band is about to perform for the NBDA next friday and Saturday so top that pansy
Remember, saxes (tenor, not sure of others) have the same part, and they can't double tongue.

+Riley Reneau my dicks bigger.

Lets just go head and Amit that this song is hard as fuck for every instrument but this song gave a Charlie horse in the right arm
The timpani part.
Dear Lord. @.@'
I am a horn and I sit right in front of the principal trombone. I fear for my life
You have not played real music until you play this!!!--Clarinet
It's flute/saxophone/clarinet.
Im a sax player and I have it too. merghhh. It sucks. fingers burning.
Literally none of you have room to complain, I'm playing the piccolo on a set of chimes and it's borderline impossible
Actually you have no room to complain cause being a trombone player on this piece is very difficult having only a slide rather than valves or keys or mallets
+Ramon Cancel trombones shit bricks when they see this song
The song is fun to hear but I will admit I have the trombone and it was a PAIN IN THE ASS
This is a very difficult piece, well considering i play trombone, must be very fast and precise it's pretty crazy
Contrabass part is quite...... interesting.
+Jackal19x I play the bass and I dont want to know
the last note is the easiest 😂😂
for flute at least
song isn't to hard, it is difficult but not impossible.-Bass Clarinet/Clarinet

Try tenor Sax. Same part as trombone, but no double tonging
bass trombone blatted 2x through first stanza. nice dynamics throughout. great intonation except trumpet section, wtf at the end? never it ended like it before.

Trombones have it the worst in this song...period... *conducter* "alrite everyone let's get out Rolling Thunder"
*me, trombone player* "may I please use the restroom...I think I shat myself..."
Trombones, I love you dearly, but try percussion. The playing field is equal. xD
lol Flute. Try playing this on the trombone, 100 times harder.
Not as hard as prople make it seem.. its is difficult but not impossible
