I'm writing this critique as a musician.
(1) Intonation -- perfect
(2) Tempo -- too fast. girolle01 is correct. This is a British march; the tempo should be about three notches slower.
(3) The beat is a little incongruent. This is a top-notch band; director should have stayed on top of keeping the beat.
(4) elli003 says "pretty, but not majestic!" I agree. This is a majestic march. Tempo should have been slowed down drastically near the end to give it the "sock it to 'em conclusion."

Very good performance. Good use of dynamics. It's nice to hear a strong clarinet section.

I think it's a little too fast...it is a British [style] march. And the trio needs more of the low brass melody; not just the clarinets.

Critique: This is a MARCH play it like one.
Stay on top of the beat. Discant trumpet riffs a little off sync. Arrangement and acoustic recording makes this sound woodwind heavy - more low brass. Pretty but not majestic ! Think Dynamics!
Fill up those horns - use that diaphram !
Overall nice sound quality -no notable intonation.
This is the only Division I band playing British Eighth on YouTube.
