I'm loving the Contra Bassoon and CB CL! Do you have an alto clarinet in the ensemble? Most of the college wind ensembles I know have someone to play it on important pieces even though its a "shunned" instrument.
As music has always been a part of my life now for over 50 years, this is probably the finest sounding band that I have ever heard in my life! Such sheer depth with the lower brass, (and one string bass player) and the low woodwind instruments. Bravissimo!
Congratulations, magnificent sound and interpretation. I'm from the Navy Band Concert in Brazil, I am very happy to know that there are musicians with this capability.
@GreySarasa This is in fact a concert band. Most composers include parts for bass and harp in works for wind band; it's just that the supply of harpists and bassists is a lot smaller than trumpets and saxophones!

Why isn't Mike Bayes on Tenor? I saw his wife on Bass Flute. I was his roomate at WVU for one year.

What is the name for this kind of ensemble? You have strings, but you also have concert band instruments. I haven't seen anything like this before.
