The Best and coolest song ever!!!!!!!!!!
I played this song at my district band festival and it was very cool and fun to play. I recommend this to any band director ready for a challenge.

A Cool Piece
I am a freshman 1st oboe, and it's such a cool song. It's one of those songs where you'd expect there to be a part for the spoons (and it wouldn't be optional), but it's so cool. The oboe solos are nice, and it's a bit diffucult on fingerings at times, but overall, it's a neat piece.

BEST SONG EVER !!!!!!!!!
Wow this song is my ALL TIME FAVORITE!!! I'm a freshman and in symphonic band (our top band) and we've chosen this song for festival and i LOVE IT!! it sounds SO cool and it sounds really hard but its actually not that hard to play once you figure out how the parts mesh together. I love how every instrument has their own sweet melody with syncopation. It Rocks! it gets stuck in my head all the time and i walk around humming it... well it rocks! I play frenh horn and we dont normally have any good parts but in this piece we have alot of really awesome parts. Thank you so much! This song makes me super happy all the time i wish they had it on itunes!

Interesting Piece
The two main melodies of the piece are not that difficult and are fun to play. I am currently a freshman in high school and our band has only recently started this piece. I play bass clarinet and find that this piece allows us to have several instances where we are the melody. This is great because several of the interesting pieces typically chosen by our teacher involve us playing easy parts, it was nice to find something of a challenge that involved us playing a decent melody.

Best Song Ever
I play the clarinet and I have played many songs. This song is definitely the most fun with one of the prettiest lyrical sections I have ever heard. Playing it (Directed by Mr. Cumberland of Pascagoula) with the 2005 Mississippi All State Lions Band is an experience I will never forget. This is my new favorite song.

THE GREATEST PIECE I EVER PLAYED
I'M A BASS CLARINET PLAYER AND THIS SONG WAS VERY FUN AND WAS NOT THAT HARD. ALSO I'M ONLY AN EIGHT GRADER AND WE PLAYED THIS SONG FOR DISTRICT AND STATE FESTIVAL AND RECIVED SUPERIOR ON IT. PLUSE, OUR TOP BAND HAS ONLY 6-8 GRADE STUDENTS.

Great Band Song
I play the Alto Sax and this song has a great part to the whole piece. Everyone has their own melody and it is all played at once giving the audience a great song. Plus it even sounds like the life of a drunk man.
