Great video, as usual. You don't need all the flowers... you outshine them anyway ;-)

John Philip Sousa's -- Stars and Stripes Forever (specifically the piccolo solo!) Our college band had a joint concert with the Coast Guard Academy Band. Unfortunately I found out at our first rehearsal that they did NOT have a piccolo player! I already knew it but had never had to play it alone. The rehearsals up to the concert were bad because I couldn't hit the high B flats in one section of the piece. The night of the concert, I played it -- I think I was so terrified, that at the concert all the B flats came out and I didn't make one mistake! It was the last piece of the concert -- I remember walking off stage and breaking into big gulping sobs. My conductor and several people in the band asked "Why are you crying, you played it perfectly!" and I responded "I know, that's why I'm crying!"

I can't remember if I've ever memorised a piece entirely

I'm terrible at memorizing pieces and only know four. 🙄 I guess the one I'm most proud of is Mio my mio.

the theme from 'no doubt' by braxton cook. I have been learing to play the flute for a couple months, i come from piano, guitar and bass, i love jazz rnb and latin music (i'm from Chile) and i know the melody from that song because i first learned it in piano, then guitar and bass, so i can really hear the melody in my head and play it in any instrument. I always struggled with wind instruments, so when i a tried to play the melody on the flute i was able to, i was totally amazed. And even though i am onlye able to play it really really slow just being able to play and hear the melody in the flute feels like i could learn anything. And your channel has helped me a ton in being able to do it so massive thanks to you !!!
