VERYbad tone:\ omg.. the clarinets NEED to blend together, you can definitely hear individuals all over the band. the tempo is ok but nobody is watching the conductor. the flute solo needs to be louder with good tone, so many people are playing louder than the solo. they need to kinda hide below the flute because it is the SOLO of the piece! constructive critism:) everyone is playing loud, and with HORRIBLE tone! i'm sorry:( Also, you need to LISTEN to everybody and blend to them!
Hate to say it, but this iss one of the worse recordings I have seen on youtube. The intonation is what really killed it. You dragged a little on the 8th notes (at what is 130 in my part, but I don't know what arrangement you have). Your quintuplets were pretty decent, though.
i can't understand why you are overblowing. this is a spanish march that is better characterized with differences in dynamics and volume. This was all one volume; loud. Work on shaping lines and creating dramatic effect with your playing. Notes hit well though.
Ummm TMP pretty much said it... balance... intonation... play quieter over all, you are all blowing your sound... The loud parts will sound plenty loud if you really really back off on the quiet parts... Yeah... but MOSTLY intonation... dear god please fix your intonation...
Sorry to say, but your a symphonic band... play like one. Tell the trumpets to shut it and listen to the other instruments to connect

This rendition suffers from a crappy sound system. Very poor recording. I'm sure the band will improve with practice.
