@chemist8897 I wonder why none of the trumpets play the Grand G# before the A at the end of the song. The arrangement we had did say 8ve optional. So I suppose they opted out lol but that's cool. I like how the song builds throughout although the phrasing at 0:32 is a little suspect. Fascinating interpretation. The 2008 machine definitely put their own stamp on the piece to distinguish it from the way we performed it in 2002. I'm excited to see what the 2011 group will do. Aggie Pride!
@chemist8897 Do you happen to have any footage of the 2002-03 pep band performing this song or any others for that matter? That group was solid!
