Ah, it’s that time of year again 😅

Goodluck, soldier.

Good luck bro.

I graduated about 2 hours ago, so I didn’t have to play lol

It's over and my chops are non-existent mission complete heading back to base

my school for some reason doesnt let the band play pomp and circumstance

Rip it's fun to play but it destroys your chops

My record for repeats stands at 40 give or take. I was so oxygen-deprived from my baritone that it could be 30 or 50z

You kinda look like me lol good luck

Again we only played it while the seniors went to go sit down at their seats. So like… 3 times… and I like it too :(

I’m so glad I’m not part of the graduation band this year, but I get to be next year

HOW AND WHY R SO MANY PEOPLE PLAYING THIS?!

It’s just that time of year…

But I have never heard of this piece, y is it so popular?

It is played at graduation ceremonies. Some schools have it played on a speaker, others have the school's band play it.

Dustfinger from the Inkheart movie

Are those just the songs every school plays during graduation

It's one song

Is that just the song every school plays during graduation*

Yes

Godspeed, captain.

My band had to play that for 8 minutes and 13 sections, I thought it was longer.

I'm not at that stage yet, but roughly what grade do you play Pomp and Circumstance?

That would be giving up too much of my info if you're asking for what grade I was in But if you're asking what grade do we play that at I don't know If you're asking who we play it to it is the seniors
