Duskstar 39/ Luna The Wolf , awesome. Just a little bit of extra information if you care to tell your band director or bandmates, in this piece the piccolo represents the grandfather and the flute represents the main character of the book the Chinese Cinderella. At the beginning of the peace, it is like a conversation between the two characters. Later, when the same theme comes back, you will notice that it is only flute. At that point in the story, the grandpa has passed away. Just a little behind the scenes information

When my band first got this piece I was so happy. I love Asian themed music. Its so pretty. When we first got it, i was the only Flute that played it perfectly which even surprised me XD so my band director might just give me the solo because of that. One question though. Should I get a wooden flute for this piece? I think it would sound amazing. Just an idea

Hi Randall! I remember playing this piece as the flute soloist for our 2023 UIL last year and I can say that the feeling of you just playing and miced up is pretty nerve wracking but awesome! I really loved this piece especially my solo part. Now here I am, almost a year later, making 1st chair in the all-region band!

Sometimes I truly regret listening to band music so much because I can't decide what song we choose so I can only be jealous of those who get to play this song :(

This is helping me lol, I got volunteered to start learning the piccolo this week so I can play at our highschool graduation this Monday. We played as a full band today and I missed all my cues because I never got the chance to fully listen to this song and know when I come in. So I’m currently sitting in an empty band room fingering along

We played this for my 8th grade year and we got sweepstakes. 😭✨ I was so nervous playing the solo.

Me (a part 2 clt) and my middle school band are playing this with highschool for a concert AND IM PUMPED FOR IT. ITS SO AMAZING!!!

My band played this piece for UIL and we got straight ones, sight-reading and concert. Great piece mr. Standridge. BTW our tubas are obsessed with the euphonium part in measure 44

I played the gong/tam tam and china cymbal on this one. Best song I've preformed in concert band for sure.

my band is playing the for the 7th/8th grade spring concert! Can't wait its my favorite one :)

Playing that long low part on the clarinet was so fun! I still have that part memorized!
