the last ride of the pony express

An audio clip from the all valley preformance in donna playing the last ride of the pony express

[@peepzstar]

Ahhh. I played this in 8th grade but it was only my 2nd year and we played with the r.l. Stevenson band... best time ever. Loved to play with them.

[@fishermanj3984]

I’m playing this in eighth grade rn

[@TheDarkCreedAssassin]

I too play a trombone for this piece. I love it.

[@Lucky68M]

OMFG. This brings back so many wonderful memories of 8th grade. i miss middle school music.

[@evanever]

I played alto saxophone for this in Sydney back in 2013. Love it.

[@nathanshao7561]

I come back to this way too often and play it on repeat

[@xxtoptigerxx8758]

Bro same!

[@Cougar10Trojan14]

I played first clarinet on this piece in high school. It was my all time favorite piece that I played in high school, for sure! :)

[@andreagwlo]

And they play so much better than at my school...love the action in this song! Nice crescendo and dimuendoes.

[@alexandragobel8364]

And I originally was playing flute, but it didn't really fancy me. So I switched to alto sax (which I'm playing now) and it really fancied me.

[@complicatedcomplications8435]

alto sax is. beautiful in this song

[@ceciliac.5029]

Alexandra Gobel Alto saxes are the best( only girl who plays the sax at school)

[@winstonchurchill624]

Alexandra Gobel are you still playing it?

[@artmichelstetter5087]

I played this song for music at the Parks in Hershey and by band got first overall. This is a very beautiful song
Played tenor sax 👍

[@andreagwlo]

really good! this song makes me feel sooo glad I play clarinet, because clarinets, if i may say, have the best parts in this song! :))

[@_.useless._.human._625]

I'm playing this tonight as a 1st trumpet tonight. 8th grade concert :D

[@andrewnicholas9672]

I was first trombone in my band. My teacher was obsessed with the part where had to gliss. She was kind of a maniac.

[@ssportsmc5458]

gliss is the best bro

[@mehirohouseki]

I played this in 7th grade and now as a freshmen in highschool I'm playing it again so now I have an advantage in the seating test.

[@yarik215391]

Im playing this wit the Philadelphia all-city band. I always love hearing this song. =D

[@suika1337]

oh this is great!!! i played Last Ride when i was in middle school and i KNOW we didn't sound this good. mainly it was because our band was very small and didn't have a tuba/baritone and i think we had, like, one trombone LOL. but anyway, GREAT job!!! i love hearing this tune again :)

[@Tubarulz64]

I played this in the indiana all state band and i absolutely adore it.

[@mehirohouseki]

In our farewell concert to the seniors we'll be playing this piece again, so I have one last chance to revisit it before I graduate. I can't believe how the time has passed!

[@EvilCheese555]

I'm playing this for my 8th band. Alto Sax 2. Just got it today, and I love it.

[@Dolphinnnnnn]

I played snare for this piece while I was doing all county in my 7th grade year. Loved every bit of it.

[@madisonmeyers9322]

I play this go french horns

[@rainbowskittlesplash4330]

My band has only ONE French horn. :(We had 2 but one quit, so that left us w/one. ;-;

[@ryanmindy7881]

French Horns Rock!!!

[@eduardomorales2421]

I was part of this band. French Horn!!

[@henrymaxwell3684]

I play this on French horn too!

[@wheatwholegrain5239]

I play a French horn, I would seriously love to play this
I was the only French horn in my band for 2 years but I finally have some other French horn players this year.
I don’t understand why a band can have 9 trumpets and 3 French horns
More people should play French horns, they sound amazing if you can learn them :)

[@VentusSliver]

We are playing this song for Williams middle magnet school after scoring a 5 on MPA.
STILL CANT GET DOWN THE SNARE PART FOR THIS, HARD AS BALLS XD

[@zuroxtv2199]

Alto sax 1! Absolutely love this piece. Heading to NYSMAA Majors tomorrow with it.

[@MrNumbnuts123]

Haha, in 7th grade, my Adv. concert band played this for festival and scored a Superior! Yeah! And I love the trombone gliss! :D

[@davispfister4090]

played first euphonium in a summer band that learned 6 songs in a week. loved the camp and the band and all songs we played were fantastic i loved it.

[@emilyparsons1361]

I played this for all county a few months ago. We're going to play it for our spring concert next year. It was so much fun to play, though!

[@reynalamb4217]

[@lyles97]

Philadelphia all city band I got this flute part down!

[@Horsegrl4820]

We're playing this right now.. Contest piece. Definately one of my favorites that I've ever played.. I play first clarinet on this song, and I think the clarinets in general have the best parts. =D

[@mrbbouda]

Love this song played it eighth grade year go clarinets

[@denzelrawls7382]

i just played this song just a few hours ago in Syracuse, NY at Henninger High School for an All City Festival

[@Samofawesomeness]

I played first clarinet on this for honor band in middle school. There is only one piece that I like as much as this. That is In Praise of Gentle Pioneers.

[@madhatter4850]

man... i remember playing this on one of my schools concerts
last year.so much fun!

[@bubblieboo36]

playing this in band for festival in southern california!!!!! sounds so cool!!!!!

[@rainbowskittlesplash4330]

This was SUCH a fun song!!! I played 1st trumpet in this! I wish my part had had all those fun trills that the other instruments, especially the ones the alto saxophones had. The first time our band had a rough run through of the song, I couldn't play it because I was laughing my head off so hard at the trills. I had to go sit out and "calm myself down" until I could handle playing it without laughing. But even on the day of the final concert, I slipped up and started laughing my head off. I got a dirty look from my director, so I settled for somehow smiling as I played. XD

[@DawnFire05]

I love this song. It just fills me with joy and good thoughts of my band class and of how much more I have to learn to become great on trombone. :)

[@TheMinor2major]

I loved playing this song at all-region. It's exciting to play.

[@rikkirata]

oh i loved this song so much i wish we could play it this year again wait nvm our band sucks this year :X like a lot
I MISS LAST YEARS BAND!!!

[@alexandragobel8364]

I'm going to play that in my band class's very first concert band concert!! 😄

[@zacharypalmer2786]

i play trombone in this piece. about to do a contest with it.

[@beaverbear9157]

I played this for 3 school concerts back in highschool(2014-2017), We played it to the point that the teacher hated it, I played Snare Drum. that was a very fun and fast song to play, almost competing with Flashing Winds, but not quite.

[@abifoster5557]

I was the only person who plays that first low brass part in measure 5 or 6 I don't remember. I loved it.

[@alwynromy9369]

[@arnaldngps]

Very good, which band is your band what name, I play a clarinet in this piece of music.

[@Ampkid1999]

We played this in band last year and i just had to hear it agia

[@joshreynolds8417]

I missed my concert today since I have the flu, so I am listening to the music they were playing. Thing is, these are middle schoolers and they are so much better than us high schoolers! lol

[@laff2much]

[@MyScragy]

[@erwinyerenayerena7704]

[@BrooklynBonnieSoulJohnson]

gotta love 2nd trumpet XP

[@kidn00b1]

We are playing this at Busch Gardens, every year our school alternates places. So next year would be hershey, lucky most of you this year are going to hershey. I am in hayfield middle school band. We are epic. Playing this, Electricity (Race around teh circuit) and we may do the Tempest, it is easy, but to make it sound good, it needs to be almost perfect. So maybe Celtic air and dance no.3

[@Ehmty]

0:40 sounds like the hunger games song. anyone agree?

[@dontthey.]

Ehmty agrreeeeeee

[@mr.platinum_476]

This was a very fun 1st Alto song

[@Dawn1Fire]

Yay! I play alto sax 2 on this and it sounds even better when you are right next to the band! I love having the melody, since I don't always have it.

[@kidn00b1]

The reason why the brasses weren't so loud because they were trying not to over-blow, but actually they were under-blowing so the conductor should've mentioned that, but it probaly one of those things when its they day of the concert and it just snaps.

[@sierranuckolls9099]

2nd clarinet!

[@michaelcolantonio8541]

Tuba has the best part

[@xintaiao3997]

i agree with u and i play the tuba too, im going to a band trip this friday

[@rainbowsforbreakfast7155]

[@SHIP-IT]

Will b at the OSU band festival tomorrow

[@zoeslack5402]

Tysen orsborn hello fello trumpet 😄😄

[@thehappiestcamper]

AH!!! We played this in the 7th grade! [So like, 5 years ago XD]. This is the most epic piece of music we played, although it is incredibly easy. But I agree that the brasses should have been more powerful. The saxophones were perfect of course, but I mean, saxes are always perfect. :{D

[@Slackow]

Hey does anyone know where I can find sheet music for the bass clarinet of this song?

[@bbubblegumm27]

2:17 ...look at that turtle... hes so chill

[@tk10555]

[@MyScragy]

[@coleminer5104]

[@GirlCheetah100]

[@educationalswlo4956]

Ah memorys

[@sonicherosfan]

Wait, this is a middle school? I hope our high school concert band can sound this good. xD
I love this song so much! Although, it is annoying to hold that mid-E on your alto saxophone and keep it in tune. Ah, still, it's so worth it! :D

[@abc173243875]

OMG love this song can someone please tell me the two notes played by trombone when they blast out like at 3:22 through 3:25? PLEASE PLEASEE OMGG

[@jaythegreat9211]

D0geuz Dang!

[@PyschopathicIrony]

it kinda sounds like the flutes are rushing at @1:31.... and it doesnt sound like the band is holding the trills long enough to beat one but other than this it sounds pretty decent.

[@optimisticpasta4246]
