Charlotte Concert Band: Esprit de Corps by Robert Jager

When was this performed?

[MultiBandgeek14]

I go to UNCP and our concert band is performing this the end of this month :D

lol slow but awesome XD

@Dejman13 The tempo is marked "Tempo de Bourgeois" and the US Marine Band under Col Bourgeois comes in at 5:07 (Uncommon Valor CD). On this video, the music starts at 00:10 and ends at 5:08 making it 4:58. In my opinion, to go faster than this would do a disservice to the music, making it feel rushed and frenzied. I'm sure if Robert Jager had wanted it faster, the Marine Band could have played it faster.
