This band has a great sound, but the one thing they could improve on is articulation, and overall zest and energy. It seemed like the spirit was there but it was slightly lethargic, in a way. Otherwise, well done. :)
as a percussionist who has played this song before, that tambourine player needs to improve his sound quality: too accented on the short notes, and the long swells aren't loud enough.
also the snare drummer at 4:31: came in too loud, and the rolls sometimes are too short and too "crushed"
i played this is district as a freshman in highschool there was about 100-150 people but it sounded a million times better they slowed down tto dramatically it shouldve took mure of a slower pace.

Our marching band is doing this as our opener! This seems a bit under tempo to me...

Well yeah, a marching band arrangement is probably going to be a bit faster than a concert ensemble lol..
