FHS Wind Symphony - American Overture

[420bran]

this is the best peace of music i have played i love doing this song :) its way epic

[upcloudup]

awful horn octave jumps, hurts to listen to

[leonard03]

were playing this too =) everything just seems really loud

[mattcanters]

Honestly, our auditorium sucks.  Check out the recording from U of I's Superstate Concert Band Festival. It's the same band, just a much better venue (Foellinger Great Hall in Krannert Center at the University of Illinois). It's still not the best camera/sound recording equipment...but it's better acoustics than this. But oh man, what a fun piece to play.

overall it was pretty good. but the ending just sounded like everybody was just playing whatever. but then again its not an easy piece.

Nice... But at beguinning HORNS ARENT SUPPOSE TO RIP THE NOTES.. lol

[yman4444]

There is an arrangement that has the first notes slurred.

[vivabam69]

ah this is such a fun piece on Euphonium (1st Euph.)

[yman4444]

I play euphonium and this part really isnt all that great to me.

This is a pretty tough piece from what I seen & heard. My school's wind ensemble might be playing this in our concert but it's gonna be a lotta work by the way you guys play it cuz you guys sound really good.

You have to know that this performance is better than both the Band of America AND the American University performance from (I believe) earlier this year. Good for you. I like. I always enjoyed playing this piece (1st Bassoon).
