This wasn't even that great of a performance, there are many parts where the band goes off track. Our band has played this and we were basically sight reading it.
I actually am a music major at Wayne State University, thank you very much.
I also performed this in high school at the National Adjudicator's invitational.
So yeah....music major + superior rating at nationals + playing it before = yes I know what I'm talking about, and I do appreciate this piece of music, just not how it was performed. It did not reach it's full potential, and there were a number of weak spots.
Cool my Band just played this song and Return of the dawn Treader at the East Tennessee Festival. We were so good we got first out 16 bands......... Nice performance even though the Trumpet solo sounded a little rushed........ If I could judge with ,1 being the best and 5 being the worse, I would give a 1!!!
This is the song that my high school band is playing this year as well. But I do not see how the people competed to be "one of the best in the country" because many schools do this, mine just did it in january. But this was a very nice performance by these people so congratulations to everyone who participated in it!
It says county not country. And the "competition" part was auditions. Anyone in the County could try but only the best get in. Little empty room, 2 chairs a stand, a table and one judge. we only get 15 hours to learn the 3 songs.
I was in this band and I was last clarinet. I'm usually first chair but i have a bad audition. This was an awesome year and i had soooo much fun. Everyone was great. I love this song and the 2009 High School Honor Band. I will miss them all sooo much... I can't wait till next year
