My band played it last year and it was amazing. It looked easy at first but once our band director actually made us play it, it's actually difficult. I still have the music. :) and I looooove this song.
Right now my high school band is getting ready to play this song and at first glance it's easy, but when you pick it apart and really UNDERSTAND it, it is a very difficult piece. Frankly, I don't know why any band would play it. Now I can see why. Thank you VERY much. I could go on for days listening to this.
A very nice job on this piece! Great intonation! This piece is deceptive. It seems easy note -wise, but if the attacks, dynamics (balance) and intonation aren't perfect, it doesn't work.
O my gosh!!!!! A band that can actually play this correctly!!!!! You guys are so good!!! I never liked the band arrangements of this song that I've heard because they butcher it. You, however proved me wrong and I was so shocked! I enjoyed it. Thank you.

The Norwich Free Academy band in Norwich Connecticut played this in our Spring Concert, it's such a epic piece, especially with the brass
