Wind Ensemble Spring Concert: An American Portrait

[herasucks]

it sounds kinda empty without the tympani

Sorry, nice attempt, but this is riddled with errors...

But the main problem is the tempo (but that's not your fault)...

[girolle01]

@girolle01 Main issues:

1) You guys are not together at all (that strain of 16th's at the end of "Ohio, 1897" was...).

2) Ever heard of phrasing? "Keepers of the Land" was...well, we won't go there...

3) Articulation? Where is it? I never knew the tuba soli was accented at 2:18...

4) Dynamics? Huh?

5) Tone. That NEEDS work.

Sorry to burst your bubble but on a scale of 5 (1 the best), this gets a high 4. The bottom line is that this band isn't mature enough for this piece.

@girolle01 Thanks so much for your feedback. However, we play our instruments for fun. We do not strive for perfection, we simply just have a good time. We may have played what was a "4 out of 5, five being the worst" to you, but being in this band was one of the best experiences of my life and considering that this is 11-14 year olds, I think we played the piece pretty well.

thanks again.
