our wind ensemble played this as the finale at our last concert, and it was lucky that i wasn't sitting in front, otherwise i might have looked really odd, because i was nearly falling out of my seat from dancing along so much. not to mention my friend and i were laughing at how people thought it was over with every movement xD I was dancing even more afterwards! best concert ever!
you guys played it very well (except that squeaking clarinet ^^ no big deal)
we played this last year for our final concert and i got to conduct because i was the drum major for marching season, and i never knew how small that podium was and i almost fell off conducting the 2nd movement because its so fun to conduct it. all your supposed to do is move your hands, but i couldnt help resisting dancing. hello!! four DANCE episodes.
aw thank you! yeah this song was really fun to play, we really enjoyed it. yeah that squeaky clarinet.. garr. xD it makes a great first impression doesn't it? hahah.
and that's great! good luck to you guys. if you can get video, i'd love to hear you guys. hearing a different version would be great.
EEEEEGH!! Who kept squeeking?! OHGAWD. I can still se Mr. P's eyes rolling at us. XD Did you notice how he slowed waaay down in the part after Kay's solo at 4:30ish. That threw everyone off, it seems. Same thing at just before 3:00, though not quite as slow. I hear what he was talking about when he said we was worried about our tone quality. And HOMG. We all need to work on our note precision.
yeah the squeaking clarinet was probably the most noticeable downfall (other than the bad tone quality in the crescendo at the end, that is.), but it happens. :D clarinets squeak sometimes.
and that's not a trombone splat! that's a horn and it's SUPPOSED to honk there. you silly. :D
I looping the slow part it's my fav-3

i agree that the mallet player is probably the best one there.

Heck yeah.
katieeS2 2 years ago
to be honest, the mallet percussionist might be the most talented in the band :P
I am playing this tomorrow for my school's concert and I am really excited! (Loved the vibes part too :) )

why does our clarinet section always have so much trouble with squeeking in the exact same places in symphonic band?

Very nice to see Pickerington North's Symphonic on such a good piece. WE (nahs wind ensemble) are doing this for OMEA districts.
mtjess60 3 years ago
thanks! we enjoyed it. it was fairly simple, but very enjoyable to play and listen to. i know i loved it. :)
unfortunately, we're not doing this for OMEA, we're doing Lincolnshire Posy by Grainger and the Pathfinder to Panama by Sousa. and maybe another song.
but the best of luck to you guys! :D

Ooooooh... thar's a neat clicky thing that links you to that very time that is states. Spiffy. Why didn't I notice this before?
...Horns owned from 6:00 to the very end! Never mind. They rocked the whole thing! And no squeeking either.
The end is sososososososo freaking EPIC.
