I played this in class last year. At 2:34, our director put just a giant ritardando on it and then had us play to the end at like 180-200 BPM. It was sick
Wow. I'm playing this for an upcoming concert. I'm a flute player and I think the challenge makes the song interesting to play. It's just aggravating when people don't practice their parts and it makes the whole rest of the band sound like crap.
Thank you for taking in the possibility that we don't 'suck', and your scenario is possible, but I definitely agree that the melody needs to be played even more together. I play the flute.
ah.. well if you say so, I would say that the woodwinds sound bad and the notes aren't precise and all accented you know, but the tubas are awesome :) (I play tuba)
oh my fricken god i found the song that we played and i actually hated it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! no need to look in teh concert program lol the damn notes were too high and it was hard to play them soft when your clarinet is a peice of shite
We just played this in our district Honors Band. I'm a flute myself, and I enjoyed it (even though I got stuck with the second part).

I was fortunate to be a student of Jerry Bilik, the composer of this march. He is a musical genius and fantastic teacher.

Hey! Our High School band is doing the same march for an upcoming concert!
I was looking on YouTube to see if other bands have done the same song... and I cam across this video :D
I think the tempo is a tad to fast...
Great job though... I enjoyed it!

I think he said you suck because the low quality of the mic's recording
Imo i hate the song because im a French Horn and we have off-beats which are reeeeaaaally boring
