I'm a junior. Been playing French Horn for a semester and a half. Recently being switched from trumpet. The Wind Ensemble at Corsicana is doing this for UIL it sounds great already!
I played this when I was in Jr High (2009) at the North Texas University Grand Hall. We made 1st Devision, with great comments. If anyone has the time look up Ennis Texas Band at the UIL site, feel free to look at our ratings. I play the Uphonium and have gotten my share of 1st devision medals.
@BlackXbox65 French horns are boss! The leaders of greatest tone! In my middle school they sucked except for me of course! (predominantly because they are the hardest brass instrument)
i just a lil kid but on the oboe solo part thing the oboes need to be more in unison to sound like one oboe and it sounds like one of dem is a lil flat i tink but hey im just a lil kid :D
I play bass clarinet and we're doing this for UIL on Tuesday! Ugh my friend switched to contra alto so I'm the only one playing that part at 3:52 :( and we don't have any bassoons. The other 2 bass clarinets suck and the other one's never there.
I love this song, I just don't wanna play it. LOL. I'm kind of new to playing alto sax so the clarinet 1/alto 1&2 solo at measure 160 is kind of freaky. Well, I hope we get a one at UIL.
thats cool. i tried out for drum major but since im only a sophomore i didnt do it, but our band did get straight ones! check out our video its called "Cries of Freedom".

My band (middle school) is playing this for UIL. I'm the first chair clarinet, so I get to do those cool solo parts at like 5:50 and 6:45.
