@teddyleam95 Woh wait, really? That is amazing!!! ...

[kolbjl]

our All state Orchestra played it years ago and though I'm partial, I think they did a much better job. I'm not very impressed with this, but then again, I chose to go to St. Olaf University over Lawrence University for a reason.

@kolbjl And I chose to go to Lawrence instead of St Olaf for a reason. :)

I love drum corps and marching band as much as the next guy but really, calm down.

[seeli0nrun]

marching band geeks, stop freaking out. barber originally composed the dance of vengeance for orchestra and this tempo is definitely closer to what he intended than the hilarious band performances i've seen.

[DrMorvia]

Really? because I have heard other orchestras play the same arrangement and it seems faster

[luoboeguy]

@seeli0nrun Yes, agreed. Barber did provide a metronome marking.

[Dergfight]

STAR 93 AND MY MARCHING BAND PLAYED IT SO MUCH BETTER ROTFLMFAO JK LOL!!!

Seriously, it's nice to finally hear it the way Barber wrote it.

[Robbaybay]

Star of Indiana. =)))))))

PAINFULLY SLOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!

Probably not a fair assessment, but thousands upon thousands of drum and bugle corps geeks will agree.

[RTGUSAS]

@flugel76 I don't think it's slow at all. And I'm the biggest DCI nerd you would ever meet.

[jeffe77]

Wow, "The Dance of Vengeance" is really slow.

[luv2read417]

haha...my marching band is playing a version of this song.

[MJTTOMB]

first of all, it's not a song. second of all, you're playing an arrangement, not a version.

[AndersonDMA]

David Becker is a great conductor!

[footballbeast5150]

We played this song with our all state band it was rely fun and we played it faster too

[LaVerniaRules]

@footballbeast5150 where you in the 2005 TMEA all state band?

[iWyke2]
