Just so you know, there are 2 different arrangements of the Pirates of the Caribbean Score, you are most likely playing the middle school level piece. This is the condensed score from the movie. I've played both and there is NO WAY a middle school band could handle this piece unless you all had been playing since you were 2...not likely.
Wow. This band handled playing outside very well. Not many bands can adjust to having a concert outside that isn't marching. Kudos to you guys! To Roswaver and PianoMastah, yeah, a little empty but as you said, it couldn't be helped. That's what I thought when my band preformed it was that it felt like something was missing but in the same situation, we couldn't help that. Having no strings sometimes kills a performance but they did well with it.
This is a good performance, but I agree with PianoMastah. Seems a little empty. The movie uses lots of string instruments, along with band instruments. Maybe that's what it needs.
This is a really great a performance, however, it does seem to be lacking a number of people, sounds a little empty. I know this isn't their fault, but still, it would help a lot.
hmm... I'm an 8th grader in a state-wide band (mostly 10th-12th graders) and we just got this piece. Anyone know what level this is? i think my school director said theres levels 1-6, and they increase by 0.5's? Thanks to anyone who helps :)
its supposed to be fast, its supposed to be like the movie...duh! and i think they did awesome! i wish MY band would play this fast! but were too lazy
balance... its all about balance. u have alot of good things going on so this comment is going to be nit picky. low brass your sound needs to come out more. watch your pitch u should tune every time before you play. trumpets dont frack your high notes. listen to the others around you and try to balance. i think you could do a little more with dynamics. watch your instructor and really emphasis your dynamics.clarinets rushed before pirate cave and werent playing together. overall good job. =)
I play this song every day in my school, and I think they sound awesome!!! But I think they could sound better in parts by playing slower. Other than that, they were absolutely AWESOME!!!!! ;-) XD
@edave08: apparently your definition of middle school is off cause our band is playing it for our anniversary and we are all 12-16 :P

Where's that trombone part?! I am playing 1st trombone at my high school and I can't hear it at all! Other than that, it was good.

i'm playing the trombone part also, and yea, its kinda in audible here. bad balanceing. one of the other low brass is covering it up.

very well done
they have great clarity
low brass needs to listen down a bit more, but otherwise, very clean articulation
impressive parts by trumpet as well :D

other than that, great job!!
