It's.... weird. There's like... no passion. I'm used to people moving and feeeeeeeeling their music.
It's like, these kids are all stonefaced, well, they are. There's no expression, they're just playing the notes they see. (Quite well, though.) They're not playing music... just... the notes they see...
Where's the feeling?
Please don't tell me that "real musicians don't move or tap their feet" or feel anything because that is a lie.
the sixteenth notes could use a little bit of polish, and the superhero clarinet needs to tone it down a bit, but other than that and playing all of the dynamics on the page you did a good job, trumpets did a great job...i loved the dogfight section.
Nice Job! Pay a little more attention to dynamics. It seemed like you guys were playing the entire piece in one dynamic. Trombones needed to play louder, and were too staccato in the call and repsonse. But nice job overall :)!!! Is the accelerondo written in the music or was it something your director chose to do?? This is a difficult song to play but you guys did GREAT!!
i want to know how many clarinetists actually tounged those sixteens haha. I've played this too on first and its a fun one to say the least. that tempo just flys and flys at 2:38 wow haha. Hey just as long as all the notes are there..
Pretty good rendition of a great march, but where were the dynamics? The brass should have come down at least for the first trio do you could hear the woodwinds. And thanks for taking it at the right speed...to many conductors turn this into a dirge.
what i like it!

I believe this march is called "Americans We" and not "Rolling Thunder."

i don't like the sixteenth notes........but it's a fun song, you know?
The tonguing is hard for the brass though, at the call and response
