Galop by Dimitri Shostakovich

This is the recording from the annual County Band 2007 CD! I played this song with the peoples (They were all like way older than me...I was 15)
I played the tenor sax, and I still do!

This one was really quick and was still fun to play but it still wasn't as fast as the original and others that played it. It was the last one we played in the line up:

Fantasia in G Minor
Slava! A Political Overture
Cloudburst by Eric Whitacre
Galop by Dimitri Shostakovich

There were alot of Pembroke High School Solo Fest participants this year! (It's made with many talented people from across the county!)

So behold, from the original senior county band of 2007, Galop!

Go see the others on my blog!!!

I remember playing this song my Junior year at Big Rapids High School, MI. And we went faster then that and sounded just as good, if not better.

[marydok1]

Yea yea, well I'm not the conducter and this was after playing a 6 min piece, a 4 min piece, and a crazy ass fast 2 min piece so all of us where tired. At least it didn't suck horribly ya know? Thanks for he comment though. Oh, and it sounded better in real life. The recordings crap.

[trumpetgeek1010]

super slow...not really giving Shostakovich what he probably wanted.

@larafan4eva Piccolo is what makes this song, I was told not to play for a while because I was splitting our directors ear drums
