I'm 14 play in my high schools top band at Frisco High School and we are preforming just the intermezzo of !st Suite. Beautiful preformance, 2 things:

1) Where is the muted trumpet accompanying the beautiful B flat clarinet in the first say 23-24 measures? 2) Can you whole band mainly percussionist section stop rushing? sounds like your all on crack your going so dam fast!! either way nice preformance considering this school!!

Having 3 Clarinet's play the solo clarinet part COMPLETELY defeats the purpose of have a SOLO CLARINET in BFLAT!?!?!?!

Who ever is using the camera in this video doesn't know how to use it. Aim that sucker at the groups actually playing! Not the trumpets standing still at 0:40!

A really good reading, quite a bit better than the various Fennell eprformances that are all over YouTube.

I would only caution that some of the percussion playing be tamed back; most notably the bass drum, which is far too heavy, but also the cymbals as well.

That done, it will be a nearly perfect presentation.

Now I would like to view a video of the Second Suite by this same group.
