That flute solo was supposed to be an oboe solo but there was no oboe so, since both oboe and flute are 'C' instruments, they gave an oboe part to a flute player.
DISAPOINTMENT:((((( no oboe solo:( haha our band was gona play this last year for festival! but we took mandalen land scapes(: haha 7th grade year was epicc. but the oboe solo makes the song the song ya know?? i love the solo and this peice it osunds like pocahontus although it is VERY repetative its veryyyyyy well writen and the band was very outstanding in this peice but i did think it was a bit rushed. but it was pretty(:
We just played this in our own district concert. Very awesome. My favorite piece out of all. I play the bass guitar in our band so I feel like our low part of the band was much stronger. Not dissing but that felt like the only thing missing.
i love this peice. my band is playing it along with 3 other tunes for our spring awards concert. i play piccolo so i dont play a lot but i still love to listen to it.
Great piece... Always loved it. Question to someone who has a copy of the music, does it say the band it was commissioned for on page? I'm was said band in 8th grade and want to know if we are on it. Thanks!!!
My HS concert band is playing this 3 weeks from now. Been working hard on it. Our band also performed this in front of the battleship Missouri in Pearl Harbor.
