There was a little too much rimshot in the ship sinking part and the notes could have been muddled together a little more to get that chaotic feel, but it was pretty good! I'm guessing you guys didn't use a hand-siren?
im in my high school band and we are playing this piece for concert contest. im a senior now and i remember playing this exact song my freshmen year. i love it. it's not a hard piece but it makes you think a lot about intonation, dynamics and such.
actually it was pretty good im especially impressed of the clarinet section. They pulled the parts together well even mixing with the flutes which made an amazing melody and harmony after the sirens flaring and the ships sinking even together with the other parts
Yeah, he likes to conduct that song. I remember having to play it for freshman year and i know we played it earlier this year. Shaina's got it hard though - she's in wind ensemble and symphonic band.
And I was lucky enough to be spared having to play tame the perilous skies! Light eternal is getting a bit too over-played though.

Even if the timpani was sharp you got to realize that this is a recording which means the instrumentation is going to be more sharp than usual
