Brass Band of Battle Creek - Shostakovich 10 - Scherzo

[GregBackwards]

2:16 is the best thing in the world. Those three sound like a section of 30.

[pboast]

JUST THE RIGHT TEMPO ACCORDING TO ORCHESTRAL VERSIONS , FASTER WOULD LOSE DETAIL , GREAT PLAYING FOR A DIFFICULT ARRANGEMENT. SHOSTAKOVICH WORKS VERY WELL FOR BRASS BANDS

[xRinat]

I've played this, but in a much faster tempo, it's a good piece :)

[CincoDrums]

I don't think you understand how badly I want to play this.

[JPSclarinet]

Even though I'm a woodwind player, I love this!

Played this at NJ All-State '11.

[darthbrass]

Hey look, it's Jens Lindemann fielding the flugelhorn!

[borgias2]

[ShevanelSaeglopur]

2:16 is one of my favorite moments in all Shostakovich. Sounding great everyone! Good to see Demondrae in there, as well.

[goldtuba]

great sounding ensemble. they pull of this very technically difficult piece pretty well.  unfortunately, the tempo slows quite a bit in the louder section a little past the halfway point. besides that, this is a great performance

[iwanabana]

AMAZING. im totally shocked that a brass band can play something that are for strings and wind at such a difficulty. 2:07! the upper trumpets!

and by the way, it should be allegro but not scherzo

[BaritoneEuphoniumJef]

Superb performance! Great technique and sound.

[Slowmo118]

Are these guys ever coming over to England? I'd love to see them live...

[LLJtbone]

Ok, these guys are smokin,' that's all I have to say!

[ProTwoAm]

Amazing!!

[murphytetley]

We gratefully and finally acknowledge the United States has a brass band that rivals the Brits!! Thank the Maker; our great country may be on the path to cultural redemption! Great job people and might I humbly say thank you!

There's stil a couple of high class imports in the band. Steve Mead and "Il Duce" (Peter Roberts).

[Amcgleish]

And Andrew Duncan on Bass representing Scotland

In Battle Creek, Harper Creek High School

[Laanen]

[jimgray766]

I think in the Spring of 2006.
