As a trombone player, 4:20 is the greatest thing to ever be composed for my section. Absolute masterpiece of a song

I don’t blame you. I’m a clarinetist but when I played this piece at a band camp for the first time the trombones just SLAYED that part. I’ll never forget this piece.

Omg the electric guitar + the low brass in this song made me spontaneously combust 😭🙏

The final “breakdown” (3:50) is probably my favorite part of this piece. The low brass take the stage! The Tuba and Bass Trombone, adding the Euphonium and 1st and 2nd Trombone into it. And later when all the Trombones can just “blast” (4:20), sounds fun! Of the course Tuba, Bass Trombone, and Euphonium are still in the background along with the rest of the ensemble. Anyways this entire piece is awesome. Saw the Clovis Wind Symphony play this a few weeks ago, and it was awesome to hear in person.

I played this just this past weekend for a band camp, and OH MY LORD!!! It was my favorite song, especially 3:50! When that part of the song was played, each section that played stood up to represent the layered music between each section! The brass part BLASTED their hearts out on that part, and I loved hearing it, even though I’m a clarinetist. It was lovely, and I enjoyed every bit of practicing this song!

Phenomenal piece. I watched a high school honors band play at BGSU in Ohio last weekend and their performance of this was unbelievable! They did the song tremendous justice. I had to listen to the original to see just how good it was in stereo headphones!

This song is by far my favorite in concert band. I wish we had more low brass, the "breakdown" would sound so much cooler. 10/10 song.

this song is a masterpiece, we played some of it in our marching band show and it made it so much better, i don't know what to say it's actually just incredible

I just played this song about a month ago at a high school band camp, and OMG! I fell in love with it the first time we played it. This piece also kinda reminds me of Short Ride in A Fast Machine (if anyone knows what that song is…)

Short Ride is fun. Not a huge fan of minimalism but it's pretty wild.

@@liamallen2156 hey that’s okay! This kind of music isn’t for everyone! I’m not kidding tho when I played this song even my conductor said it reminded him of Short Ride.
