Sleigh Ride—Des Plaines Park District Community Concert Band

[forever0047]

honestly - i have to say it was rather hard to keep up on the sleigh bells on this piece. I felt like i was catching up the whole time....it's a great listening tempo but it was clipping along faster than we had ever played it in rehearsal haha

I listened again. I stand by my earlier comment. I've heard high school concert bands that sound much better and more in sync, sorry.

too fast, seems like the half the musicians can't keep up with the pace. need to slow it down just a bit.

Sorry I don't agree, but thanks for your comment anyway.

This is interesting: Des Plaines performance took 52 seconds if you take out the introduction and applause.

Boston Pops played it in 2:52

Glenn Miller Band: 3:45
