as the second chair clarinet in my high school band, I LOVE this march, however everyone else hates it :/ the clarinet runs and melody at 87 are so fuuuuuunn! :D
We played this song today in City Competition(Chicago) as well as Faces of Kum-Ba-Yah by John Zdechlik and American Faces by David R Holsinger and we got 40/39/40 which is Honors Superior!!!
I hate this song because it was either this song or The Thunderer to play in our parade, and we chose this song which is not as nearly as good of a song as the thunderer.
@Tiffawesomeness this isn' slow...any faster and the woodwinds wouldn't be able to keep up. this is just right to where you can actually hear what the flutes and clarinets are playing.. it might be to slow for the brass since their part is easy to play.
Our band played this last year...this is slow. We played it faster, and it sounded fine. The woodwinds were able to keep up. This band sounds great though!
@Tiffawesomeness I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE YOU PLAYED THIS FASTER..A MARCH SPEED IS MM., 120 THIS GROUP IS FLYING AT MM., 160 OR ALLEGRO CON FUOCO..I PLAYED PICCOLO ON THIS IN MY UNIVERSITY WIND ENSEMBLE AND PLAYED THE RUNS ON THE LAST STRAIN UP ONE OCTAVE,,WHAT THEY ARE MISSING IS I DIDN'T HEAR THE PICCOLO AT ALL AND THE LAST STRAIN THE PICC., SHOULD BE HEARD ABOVE EVERYONE ELSE. THEY SURE HEARD ME.
omg! i hated playing this songon clarinet!!! it was so hard, i had issues keeping up! trumpets always rushed it alot! especially at measure 34! but i liked playing at 87 to 101. i am such a band nerd if i can remember the measure marks of this!!! T_T
WHERE IS THE PICCOLO??? I played piccolo on this in my university wind ensemble..after the trio and break strain the picc. is suppose to take those runs up an octave..sure does add some color to the march..anyway i was a show off..LOL
We are playing this for our concert next week, and I need to learn my part!!! AHHH! I have so many things to learn, that I just havent found the time for this one!
Hehe a band song for bassoon that actually goes up to a high Ab. Its a miracle XD. I can't wait for symphony to start again.

a little on the slow side, i agree, but way to bring out the clarinet counter melody in the trio.
