I actually still like Sleigh Ride and although I have not played it anywhere near as many times as some folks have played The Nutcracker, I have played it a lot.ronr wrote:Only three times for me! Well, maybe four
Just another milestone for a tuba player.

Slay ride with a walking bass is kinda fun.
Don't forget to substitute the horse whinny at the end with an elephant trumpet!

Instead of a horse whinny, it would sound like an angry, rogue elephant.bloke wrote:Yesterday, I was asked if I would consider playing the horse whinny at the end.

The "whip crack" sound could suggest cruelty to animals. Should this work be banned?

Oddly enough, that sound technically is known as a “trumpet”
