i'm going to play this piece for my busch gardens competition
i think this version IS a bit fast, but it all depends on the conductor and/or the music itself. on our music, we're supposed to have an english horn solo. We don't have an english horn, so we might have to buy/rent one. i love this song though, it seems so sad, and realistic.
once again, the interpretation of this piece probably varies a lot from the original by james swearingen, depending on the conducter and the sheet of music.
@skill178 Actually, the siren part wasn't off. I think it happens at measure 85(I'm playing this), and I counted. But some parts were off. Overall though, this band does have a great future ahead of them. This song isn't easy to pull off, and I think they did it fairly well.
No...... that is right, you wait three measures of the snare before you come in. And then it builds untill you get to the solo. They were pretty good. A couple little spots, but every band has their faults. I think they did a great job on the song!!!
your supost to use a flute and/or oboe if you dont have a soprano sax cuz they are rare for school bands. but the song was written for a soprano sax solo, not flute or oboe
@Robotgrl13577531 This version is actually a little too slow, but this is a much more comfortable pace.

The French horn part at 3:30 just sends chills down my spine.

we work at the pace of the conductor. We have a new conductor.. I personally like the one in this video [Mr. Mac]

Unfortunately we only had one oboe, and she was a beginner
