Their band director should teach them the pyramid method.... flutes and oboe are at the very top, then come clarinets, then trumpets and alto sax and french horn, then trombones, tenor sax, and euphonium, and at the very bottom is our baritones and tubas.... and they need to balance out.... its super easy to follow.
Okay, seriously? Everyone shut up about "How bad they were" or "How much better you are then they are". Who cares? They didn't post this so people could tell them they suck, which they don't! They are a good band so deal with it.
4:06 ummmm where the hell are the alot saxes?! thye are suppose to be playing b, then high b and then an a i believe. i know that part isnt important but still it has to be balanced out with the rest of the band. balancing and articulation is one of the biggest problems in your band
we played this a few months ago at UIL and got straight 1s. we're playling it again for our spring concert on may 14th. i'll upload the video. i'm a freshman clarinet, by the way.
The trumpets in this piece sucks.We played in our middle school Honors Band.Clarinets need to stop squeking . Trumpets need to use articulation. They also need to stop cracking notes.
my band is playing this as our second UIL piece and i didnt know the horn was supposed to be that loud now im freaking out that our AD will want me to play louder since im the only one on first part
i played this rite now as a jr. w/ the alto sax. its a rly fun piece to play. unfortunately our band is small and we only have one flutist. it sounds so dif. w/ the flute!
We're learning this piece. Our band SUCKS!! It's like they never practice! Not to brag, but I consider my friend and myself the best flutes (my friend is also piccolo). If only we could play that fast, our stupid low instruments ALWAYS slow down!!
Wow, you guys played that way up tempo. I wish your director had slowed it down some...I mean it sounds way better slower, has a different story that way, much more mysterious. And like you guys didn't play with the tempo either.
Still, it's pretty good for you were dealing with. =]

Omg the balance and the tuning is really bad. Staying in time with each other was good though.

@xxxwwefan18xxx well tbh, it's very hard to get an actual good balance of instrumentalists because you can't force a person to learn an instrument
