im a clarinet player and they got out of tune... ew..... they went out of range of goodness. but either than that it was pretty good.......... i played this last year... no offense but i think we sounded better......
no the tempo it is supposed to be is 220 or something but this sounds like the Toccata For Band recording which is going at 244 so I think this sounds like 244
it was great other than some times you guys got so out of tune i cringed. and the sqeaky clarinet gotta love. But i'm in HS band as well so I know this is how it goes, and my band does the same things!
We got this piece in my class. Very fun to play. Yes it's B range, about middle I believe. I play Clarinet by the way and measure 164 is the funnest part for us.
My Band is the best of this years generation for my school. WE can't play Tocatta that fast. It is fun and other Band Directors even Bands better than us are shocked to here we are playing this song for band fest. So we are technically better than Hilo High School since we are Hilo Intermediate School.
Love this piece. Just got it today in band. At first it looks intimidating, but when you get the rythems down, it's just really fun to play. Sounded great!
My band just got this piece of music today. It is very fun to play, and sounds amazing. You guys did a great job in my opinion. This sheet of music looks intimidating at first, but then when you get the basic rythem down it's really fun to play. It sounded great!

No. This is the tempo it should be played at. It can be played slower but, I prefer faster.
