@sidsean Now, now, don't forget that most audiences don't quite know good tone from bad, and those who do don't watch a marching band for musicianship.

This band is pretty good, though.

[TheCookiemonster112]

yeahh cymbals!!

[JFMello1116]

The solo could have been a bit more characteristic up an octave (where practical), no?

[theaccousticpunk288]

I asked the band director the same thing (I'm also a horn). He said he'd have to shift the entire melody up an octave for it to make sense with the original song.

[JFMello1116]

Hmm. I respect his decision as an artist, I suppose, but I disagree with it; I think it would sound fine. I suppose he does these arrangements himself? They're quality stuff.

@JFMello1116 Just stock arrangements
