FYI, I was the timpani player and principal percussionist in 2007. In this piece; due to sheer amount of percussionists in the section, the quarter note triplet part was divided. This was band director decided.
I agree, this song would have been increadible if it had been up to tempo. I feel that it could have been that there wasn't enoughn time to practice it up to tempo, but good other wise.
you guys sound very good! that is very excellent playing, especially from the french horns.
i must say though, that the song is drastically under tempo until the last minute or so. when the mallets start at about 3:30, the tempo needs to be at least 20-30 bpm faster to get the feel right.
Hey just for all of you out there i would just like to let you know i was one of the percusiomists in this piece and i would to stress that this is a piece of high dificulty even at the college level and were a high school
it looks like it was just a concert, so the director most likely split it so the percussion parts were evenly distributed because everyone wants to see their child perform just as much as others.
Great playing guys! Of course, except for that tympani player. You see, here in Miami we don't tolerate those kind of shenanigans. Two players? C'mon, show some pride! I WANT ONE TYMPANIST!
we just started playing this piece wer going to play it along with rocky point holiday and o magnum at the Festival of Gold in Orchestra Hall in chicago.
i have to agree with that comment about the tympani player sharing the part...cmon im sure he could do it if he tried harder..lol
one comment... why is the tympani player sharing his part...
Here in miami florida, we dont condone those kinds of meager attempts at a hard song... listen out for miami killian sr. high schools recording of this baby, youll see me playing the tympani
we are playing this song right now at blaine high school in minnesota. its very difficult and you guys did a nice job of playing it! hopefully i can get a video clip of out band playing this as well
your disappointed?? This is probably the best band in the state.. They even played at carnigie hall this year and were invited to the Mid West festival. So yeah i bet your band didn't do that.

hey well ive got a seriou question all jokes set aside, did the tympani player try to play it by himself or did the band director decide it?

Although I don't think we are performing it, EPHS' Wind Ensemble rehearsed it a few times, it was really intense.
