its too fast and my band at school is playing this piece



[wPHao]

@megamelina101 That's fantastic!!!.... and no you're wrong. If you would like to know why, go to alfred.com/Products/Ignition--­00-36719.asp*(replace the * with x ), click on purchase mp3 recording, then click "listen to mp3." Tell me if that is too fast...

[pannoochie]

is this like a honor band or something??? someone please tell me

[wPHao]

@pannoochie It's an honor wind ensemble made up of top high school musicians in the Atlanta Metropolitan area.

Sounds a bit fast though...

[wPHao]

@WarriorAngel14 Hmm... No. This is generally the tempo that it is played. If you look at the score it does say quarter note = 168, which is pretty fast. "Ignition" is supposed to sound like something energetic and fast. The whole character would be lost if this were taken any slower. If you look at the review of Todd Stalter's Ignition on the Alfred music Publishing website it states, "Ignition is a blindingly fast, raucously energetic concert opener that derives its title..."
