kansas 56A state band played this same piece in march of 09....and you guys did an excellent job at it....the part where you guys sped up i feel is a little above the tempo that julie had intended it to go....out clinician is a very good friend of hers and she wrote this piece for him, if you want some background fun facts, this piece was written for the gentle for $5 every year she writes a piece for $1 and this gentleman that wanted this piece handed her a 5 and said give me one 5 times better
good stuff. maybe not so fast in the section where it picks up; too frantic but it evens out a little towards the end to where it should be. great for a high school band, no doubt! nothing can beat a real taiko drum though...
Our Symphonic Band just played this today at one of the Midwest Clinic Sessions in front of Julie Giroux. It was amazing!

well she seemed to think it was a good tempo when she listened to it before our performance, but really I guess its how you interpret it.
