I like the blend of sounds. At least the piccolo isn't so loud it drowns out everything. Even in our college symphonic band the piccolo is very loud, and we have so many flutes I'll be surprised if anyone can hear beyond my section. xD
A really good performance of a pleasant piece. Tempos, I think, feel just about right - that perfect place between too slow and too rushed. Nice blend of the different sections of the band and secure brass performance. What I hear revealed is something about the big-heartedness of this composer and his sense of comfortableness with the folk musical traditions of his country. And a kind of nostalgia for the loss of the society that spawned these tunes.
I played french horn with my community band many years ago and we enjoyed doing any RVW piece!

We played this 'back in the day." I loved playing it (I was first trumpet).

The Euphonium solo is very tricky to learn. Takes a lot to get it under your fingers.

@Finistereny Agreed, many bands play this song waaaay too fast, and much of the remainder is dreadfully slow.
