In the forest of the king - POI Wind Orchestra

[MUSICDEBEATLES]

It doesn't mater how old the people playing it are. It's still a good piece. I played it with a college wind ensemble once. And they have a great music program. So it just depends on what you do with the music. Either make it great or not. Or something philosophical there.

[ginamarie285]

these are adults playing this and i played this in MIDDLE SCHOOL!!!!

[Breeze1313]

We just played this for a CBA contest today, and I LOVED playing it! You guys did really awesome!

[Soaringkiwi1]

My Middle school band is playing this and we sound almost as good lol.

[BandGeek4396]

This sounds so precise(: our Band at FSU camp played this

[emoglovepianist]

I like this, I like it a lot!

My band is playing this for 2 competitions, and I must say, it's nice to finally hear it out of other ear for a while.

You have very nice balance, although the brass could be a hair softer throughout, and there wasn't supposed to be an accelerando at the end of Le Furet, even if it's stylish =3

I love your poco piu mosso in The Laurel Grove. Amazing job!

King Dagobert was ruled by the drums, and I couldn't hear the flutes or piccolo most of the time

You did great

[jonasBrotherskul]

our band teacher read us the lyrics to this..:) prtty hilarious and make no sence :)

[wrathofzar]

very good! im in high school band and we r playing this i wanted to see how fast its supposed to go cause we r practicing it slower for a little bit and it is FAST! lol (for the first movement)

[POIWindOrchestra]

The POI Wind Orchestra is not a high school orchestra. We're a town community orchestra.

[Warbirdguy1]

lol at the random baby at 7:08

[sk8erboy618]

@Warbirdguy1 ikr lol

[jcraven021]

why are they clapping after each movement! lame.

[TrixiePanda]

I play the piccolo on this song! Picc rockkk.

[Warbirdguy1]

cool i know a girl at band who plays the piccolo at band that plays that part for this sond and Solis something or another lol

[Warbirdguy1]

@Warbirdguy1 Oh my god....I graduated a long time ago, hey high school warbirdguy1!!!

[TheDarkAngelHottie]

my 9th grade gifted band is playing this right now but we've only done the first movement so far. our band teacher alwayz freaks cuz hes trying to get us in the right tempo but we're slowing down, its hilarious

[albertandelvis215]

I loveee this song! Especially the third movement! But we play the first movement faster, our conductor conducts it in one. And we also play the second movement quite slower, which I do like better. The alto sax part is lovely!

[naruto3k5]

our middle school eight grade band can play the crap out of this

[Noam246]

I played this in a band camp. 3rd movement is the best!

[SWAB737]

Echoing about a hundred others, our Symphonic Band played this for MPA.

What's the age range of this band?

[jenniferfarts12]

ahhh! we played for mpa! the third movement is the best and why did people clap between movements?

[dfdfdddf]

im playing this song in 8th grade and the euphonium part freakin owns, most people think its the tuba

[ecgtrombone]

I hate when people clap in-between movements

[whywhywhydude]

we're playing this, i play tuba (ROCK ON TUBAWS) and my favorite movement is the first but i like the part of the second were the tuba has a solo

[ToobaRob]

yeah tuba!!

[carnyzzle]

holy snap my symphonic band is playing this for MPA!

[WhiteKid44]

that song rocks. You guys played at a way quicker tempo than we do!

[chickenboren]

i played this at the umkc honor band and it was awesome

[haokun12]

lol we're doing that in band right now... i think we have about 50 gr8's and about 30ish gr9's

[alpacaman22]

also now that I realize it, the ending should be alot more sudden and alot stronger as well, my opinion

[alpacaman22]

Do they have french horns, if so they need to play out, if not then the orchestra is seriously lacking, I hear holes in the music that shouldn't be there

[Astaroth6000]

Oh man... I'm playing all 3 movements for my school music exam tomorrow. I'm dying on king dagobert. The first part is fine but I crash at the second page. :( Any suggestions?

[litoinsanity]

This is amazing. I just got this music for an honor band audition tomorrow, and I've been trying to play it on flute. Its a little tough at first, but after a few tries it gets easier. Your band plays it beautifully. I applaud you.

[robfan09]

Hahaha...We just got this song today at school. The first movement is a lot of fun for the Trombones. I pretty much love it!

[Kensingtonian]

I was in a high school honour band weekend a couple of weeks ago, and we played this. It was easily this fast, maybe faster.. I loved the Bassoon part I was playing, because you'd be playing with the Tuba's an one bar and harmonizing with the flutes in the next.

[unintent1onal]

is the first movement supposed to be that fast? It sounds good, but we always play it WAAAAY slower :P

[Snarah103]

pretty good... I'm playing this for my band, we have over 100 kids in it, and I think your group sounds better because its smaller. I'm a flute, and it is really hard to even out our high instruments and low instruments, but this band does great.

[POIWindOrchestra]

Thank you. May i ask which band you play in?

[Snarah103]

The 9th grade band at Saline High.

[Dunatik]

This is terrible! And your outfits are hysterical! ahahahaha.

[errorage]

although i appreciate criticism, it's much better if it's constructive. What is terrible? how would you improve it?

[Dunatik]

I apologize. That wasn't me. I left my laptop open in my dorm and my roommate got to it.

[POIWindOrchestra]

Everyone is entitled to their own oppinion, so no matter if it was you or your roommate, you have the right to love or hate :)
