This Suite is a classic...I think everybody plays it at some point in their band career. I still remember playing the "Greensleeves" solo in this section. It was one of my favorite moments from my band days. Nice job here, majestically played!
hahaha i played this in middles school band. i t sounds cool when you fist listen to it and start to play it in the beggining. but after a whole semester it gets annoying for people who play the melody
Im actually in this band, I played with them last summer, no it's an alot solo, to clear that up, and yes this song is and always will be an amazing song to play.
Excellent job. The entire thing was well played. The Alto solo in the beginning was wonderful. All around great job. Best of luck on future performances.
My band is playing the entire Second Suite right now...I'm in love with it! I think that either 1 or 4 is my favorite...I'm not sure which one though.
I play bass trombone....so this song in particular I just sit in the back and keep making low growls...its so fun! hehe
oh, the trombone part at the greensleeves allusion is so perfect.. i play the baritone saxophone, which is fine and all (i have a great harmonic part there), but i'd so much rather play the trombone part. i figure i might just transpose a piece for it without my director's knowledge, and 'surprise' him. =]
I am a member of a Middle School band, we are actually performing three(Maybe four) of the movements, (March, Blacksmith, Song without Words(Ill love my love), well overall your performance was fantastic!
the symphonic band in my school's playing 2nd Suite this year... the euphonium solo in the first movement pwns... and i love hearing our euphonium play it^_^
ZOMG they gave the tuba solo at the end to a saxophone?!?!?! Blasphemy!

I remember playing this a few years back. As a tuba player, I absolutely love this. A solo (and then a duet)!

The Tuba could have been better, especially in the low ranges, but other than that, it was quite good.

It's a really cool piece. I'm not the hugest fan of "Song of the blacksmith" though because they make us flutes rest to long and I'm anxious to play!
