im an oboist in my band n i'll play diz song 4 diz year's competition... overall,balancing is not good... i hear more saxes than horn 4 the melody... not blend enough... could be more better... just clean up a lil bit n it will be sound really good :) u hav a great band, with many people.... its just that u need to be more sensitive on pitch n balance n blend...
Rushing .... sax and horns not producing the tone tat supposed to blend 2gether ... cornets not even making the pitch sometimes... blaring out .... clarinets sound very stuck .... running notes rushing ... not with the band .... oboe solo very weak .... no expression and a little out of tune .... errm a little too loud...
there is no solo at 7.15 ....u stupid or smth isit bass clarinet is also playing and i dun understand bar 198 suppose only snare drum but i heard the crash playing
heck this song is KICKASS! we played this in district band and it got the LOUDEST (i mean screaming like crazy) applause, even louder than the higher band.
once again, kudos, but i still think, in the words of my flute teacher and conductor, (dont take this personally): "the rest of the band needs to shut up to hear the flutes!"
the solo flautist stuffed up twice, but we're all human.
this skool is really priveleged. i play the flute and we did this last year for skool. real great piece, but there were only 2 french horn players, 3 flute players, and the clarinets are lazy, as well as the 5 saxafone players
Yea i agree its far too slow and some intonation issues but these kids are young and performed it far better than many other bands ive heard.... good job
Too slow? Excuse me? I think this is the actual speed and they did a GREAT job. APLAUSE! BTW, if my English is bad, just tell me, I'm from the Netherlands XD
lol your English is great better than mine.... but i neva said they did a bad job or anything. They did execellent. And thats not the real speed of this piece, trust me, i play it
Did you know that lol in dutch means fun? You call it laugh out loud XD
Anyway, I play this too. So, I guess I think I too know how you should play this. But after all, we all suck, so, I forgive you, or you me, or something like that... I think or something
if u guys think this is good, u should listen to TKWO, or when SMU played in NBC. SMU's was the best i have heard. clear tonging, clear notes and slow parts expressed well. they got the highest mark in the contest, winning a gold with distinction.
oh god, it just get louder and louder.... solo for obeo could be better. I would say the "love theme" (in the middle of piece, 165-198) could be a lil more lovely. Overall I think its great. especially for a middle school.
amazing job! u have a huge band:P my wind ensemble just started playing this, im trying to get a feel for the song and its amazing! thanks so much for posting, helped me alot
Great job, this is really a tough piece to play, and you guys did an awesome job. I would've suggested trying to bring out dynamics more, they seemed to come suddenly rather than gradually. I had trouble hearing the Tuba section, especially in the last 75 bars (allegro brilliante section) but I was mainly focusing on them because I'm a Tuba player myself :S
wooww... that sound is awesome. my band to is playing that song... tough piece to play but loads of fun!!! and where is the euphonium???

The saxes and horns don't blend,I think, because some/all horns are playing an octave lower.
- I'm playing this this semester in a concert band :)

The solo around 7:15, i think it was Baritone, was very good for a kid this age, especially with vibrato, dang.

Wow, Absolutly WOW.
You guys have so many Trumpets!! And low brass
in my school, the Clarinets are the majority of the band. 5-7 trumpets in our whole band.
(we might play this song for our Parade of Bands, Hawaii)
Great job to you guys!!
