FYI, I was the timpani player and principal percussionist in 2007. In this piece; due to sheer amount of percussionists in the section, the quarter note triplet part was divided. This was band director decided.
it looks like it was just a concert, so the director most likely split it so the percussion parts were evenly distributed because everyone wants to see their child perform just as much as others.
I agree, this song would have been increadible if it had been up to tempo. I feel that it could have been that there wasn't enoughn time to practice it up to tempo, but good other wise.
you guys sound very good! that is very excellent playing, especially from the french horns.
i must say though, that the song is drastically under tempo until the last minute or so. when the mallets start at about 3:30, the tempo needs to be at least 20-30 bpm faster to get the feel right.
Hey just for all of you out there i would just like to let you know i was one of the percusiomists in this piece and i would to stress that this is a piece of high dificulty even at the college level and were a high school

hey well ive got a seriou question all jokes set aside, did the tympani player try to play it by himself or did the band director decide it?
