The hardest song we've ever tried to play was definately "Morning Star" it was really fast and had many tempo changes. It seemed like it was 32nd in 4/4 the whole time.
It went from 6/8 to 3/4 to 6/8 and back.

hANDS dOwN Faerie's aire and death Waltz by john stump. j/k j/k the actual hardest thing i ever played while in my middle school concert band was song for the winter moon, although its easy to play, not breathing between curtain measures is really heard when u have tuns of whole notes coming after each other its a whole lot worse than it seems! after that u have eigth notes and if u breath there it sounds broken and chopped up. it feels like the only time you can breath is at the end of the song! in symphonic band its Chinese folk rhapsody. if u loose you place or mess up while counting, u'r screwed for the whole song.

Irish Trilogy was one of the most difficult I've played... I think it's only a grade four, but it's very quick which means mistakes everywhere... eighth/sixteenth notes in cut time, at 84-100 bpm. Holy cow talk about runs... Plus there's a lot of accidentals and a couple of key changes, too. Clarinets and flutes got the worst of it though... Feel sorry for them, some really tricky note changes in there.

I'd have to say for me it was The Italian in Algiers by Rossini. Lots of hard solo's everywhere, and it was pretty fast. I think it was a grade 5...

The hardest thing I've ever played. . . . Pineapple Poll. Extraordinarily difficult. This year, we're also playing Folk Song Suite and Four Scottish Dances, which are murder on flutes and clarinets. The hardest thing I've played on piano would have to be One Winged Angel, and the hardest thing I've played on mallets is either Praise Jerusalem (which I had seven days to learn) or First Circle, which was actually rather easy once the pattern was memorized.

Gosh... I don't remember most of my music from high school or before so I have to go with college.
I've played some of the pieces mentioned here.
Appalachian Springs (I played that in 9th or 10th grade on trumpet, don't remember it being hard at all.)
Folk Song Suite (Not hard, but I played bassoon... so yeah.)
Suite in Eb (Don't remember it being hard. I liked it, though!)
Children's March (It was in my first year on bassoon so it was a little hard for me.)
Korean Folk Song (It was fun!)
Gavorkna Fanfare (I actually hated this song. It wasn't hard, it was just loud and annoying.)
For pieces that I actually have found hard, well the very first semester I was on bassoon I was give a piece of which had "Pirates" in it's title (it wasn't Pirates of the Caribbean) and the whole piece consisted of 16th notes. I was overwhelmed. o_O I had never seen so much black on a page, even having been a trumpet player.
We only sightread that piece, though. It wasn't going to go well for anybody. XD
I can't even think of anything else at the moment.
