what a band! Just thinking about this... this performance was over 13 years ago and definitely would be pushing the envelope to this day. high quality musicians and educators don't change. Remember that.

I hope everyone in this recording knows ho w lucky they were to have Mr. King for a director. he was like a father to me. his death still brings tears to my eyes.
This is a pretty mediocre recording imo. Don't get me wrong, it's a monster of a piece to play; I'm just saying that it could be way better. For an idea of how this should actually be played, check out this other high school band:

This is definitely a good recording! I'm using it to help me prepare for my college audition. The top ensemble is playing this this year. Last year I got to play Danse Folatre. It is definitely more difficult than Festival Variations, but putting either song together is probably the biggest challenge! Thanks for the great music!!
Yes sir. I'm guessing you're Tyler? This is Jen Noe lol. ;-) Oh and I bet you're listening to this recording for auditions as well, right?? I could be wrong,but it's a good guess! HEHE
This is a really great piece, especially at the molto ritard about 6 minutes in. (Although I think the flute section was way too loud and overpowering during that time, which may be due to acoustics or they may just be too loud.) I played timpani on it in 10th grade, and it was so fun with all the solos and retuning. I appreciate the recording, does anyone know where I can get strictly audio?
I'm a clarinet player, and those runs are pretty brutal. J.W. Nixon [My high school] made state with this piece, Claude Smith went to see them perform. You guys raped. Congrats ;)
I'm not sure if i understand this. Is the band a band of people who went to High School in '98, or is it performed by a High School band in the year 1998?

Its a grade 6+ so i applaud you guys for playing it this well. I heard the air force band had a tough time playing this when it was first premiered.
But i do belive Claude t Smith's other 6+ work is harder..if thats possibe - its titles "Danse Folatre" look it up!!

Not as compelling a piece as it seemed at band camp when I was 14, but it was great to fun to play at the time.

I completely agree. This is very good for a high school band, but the conductor is nothing special.
