Have you ever had a piece of music that was just freakishly hard? At least when you first played it?
We have one for our Christmas concert called Emmanuel Variants. It switches rapidly from 4/4, 2/4, 5/8, 6/8, and 9/8. Even the second trumpets (who OWN) have a good amount of 16th note runs and triple tonguing. It's hard. Hopefully we'll have a better handle of it for our concert.

I think we played that last year. The name sounds familiar.

Dude, if the trumpet part is that hard, I want to see if the percussion part is hard, if there is a part.

I love it when band directors have those moments of complete INSANITY. Like when mine decided to have us play Carmina Burana. That ended well. -_-

Herminator-187 Dude, if the trumpet part is that hard, I want to see if the percussion part is hard, if there is a part. if I'm correct and we did play it last year then it must not be very hard if I don't remember it

How do you count 6/8 to begin with? I'm the only oboe in my band and I have a solo in 6/8!

wolf_fire37 I love it when band directors have those moments of complete INSANITY. Like when mine decided to have us play Carmina Burana. That ended well. -_- agreed. 6th grade and evry1 had either played and instrument 1 or 2 years(starts @ 5th grade). Our horribly hopeless band teacher decides we should play phantom of the opera. He was nice but couldn't teach. Half way through the concert we had 2 STOP. We did THAT BAD. Several years later I played the same song in 8th grade wind ensamble.
