the dynamics is a big part at the beginning of the song

this songs looks easy but once u actually play it its very complicated...... but not 4 french horns.... they pretty much have the same thing over and over

[Klaasklinkert]

Well done! This is a rather complicated march. Now waiting for the Minnesota March....

[ValleyOrchestras]

Why the hell are they all slouching? They sound decent though. :)

Great Piece :)

Your band's dynamic contrast and ability is quite amazing compared to other bands i've heard play.

GREAT!

Many thanks. We are coming over to New York in July and will include some of Sousa's marches in our programmes.

np :)

so is this just a small ensemble or are you a highschool ensemble?

[bannan61]

We are a state run music centre in a small northern English town called Oldham. We draw players from a number of high schools.

[MaryBearKing]

Thats very cool. Much luck with your performances to come :D

look how uncordnated the trombone slides are at 1:00. Ha. This piece isn't that hard.

[danielwills93]

Theres more than one trombone part in this march you know 0_0 And the third one is a Bass trombone anyway so whats your problem??

[ndawg370065]

just so yall know i played trombone...infact! I played this song!

[pipelayer]

dude there are several trombone parts on this song. Duh. Besides that they are playing F attachment trombones so that could be a reason for some of the change.

Posts about trombone slides are about as interesting as posts about bowing techniques for the strings. Any comments about what really matters - the music and the way it sounds? That's what the video is actually here for.
