We played this in our high school band. I've listened to both of the recordings and find this to be excruciatingly awful! Tubas dragging, flutes out of tune... Sheesh!
But we were the honors band, so for middle schoolers, these kids are actually really good.
my sophomore year of high school we played this for the honor band piece at a band competition...honestly, it was one of my favorite pieces i've ever played...and i've been in band for nine years...you guys did a really good job for being in middle school...i don't think i could've ever done this in middle school...i knew basically nothing about band in middle school...good job, you guys
this is the hardest damn song ever, i cant play it at half speed and im in high school.. we fail at this, these guys own us and they're in middle school
So last year, my advanced band (8th grade level) played this and we definitely owned these guys. It's not THAT hard though it is a little tricky - I must say. Our third movement was sloppy but their trumpets rushed like CrAzY! And flutes and clarinets are rushing in the first one but still..really good for a middle school.
In the first movement, either the Clarinets are rushing or the horns are too slow. I like this song, and we are playing it my freshman year of high school, and you guys go much faster than we do. Very good otherwise! :) I play clarinet too.
:] we are learning that right now and everyone loves it :] i'm impressed though lol a symphonic middle school band will probably play it better than my concert high school band xDDD and you guys had more instruments too! but that was really good!!!
this song is awesome i loved it because it put all of the kids im babysitting to sleep whats with the kid w/ the afro though he is so off beat and out of tune 3 thumbs down for him Linzie!!
We had to work on this song the entire year because people wouldn't learn their parts. I myself had the entire forst and second movements memorized, because we practiced so much. We got lucky the judges didn't mark us down for speeding up at the end of the third movement. But it was fun because the song was so cool.
playin this song for my spring concert and we sound better

@clarinetmeister well i ment the third movement, and everytime the drone would hit the down beat people would chink their mugs together.
