Thank you, for the constructive criticism. It's nice to know that some people can still manage to write things like this.

:]

he also has to be one of the laziest conductors i have ever seen. the speed control was awful, you just kept on speeding up until the trumpets couldnt cope. and the 1st trumpet should be playing higher than everyone else, but it sounded as though they were all playing in unison. ditch the drummer, ditch the conductor, ditch the trumpets. the saxes were the only instruments keeping that straight and true!

[ledderzed]

wtf did you do to the trumpet solo! you cant just cut it and leave a massive hole in the middle, sure, if the trumpets arent strong enough, let another instrument have a solo, but a couple of honks on the troms didnt quite cut it! and also cut out the drums in the lead up to the end, random hittings on a snare ruined the climax. nice try, was a bit of a long shot and it missed, im afraid.

LOVE the sax duet.

Ok Guy's i'm sorry About being a little Mean but, in my band let's just say perfection is key or you are booted out so fast if you don't practice and Mess up.Then You don't have a job.Don't worry Guy's The First Time you play this Concert it doesn't really work out my First Time I did this in Middle School I Was 10 second's Through my solo and I just Froze and forgot everything.=0.The Whole auditorium was just dead silent.That wasn't one my Highlights in my Career.=D

i respect what ringling has to say.

trpts i know that highlands is good but dont have to cut down a good critique like that

[tureno3]

This song is awesome yo.. ^^ Too Bad No Trumpet Solo at the time

[comizzle]

no you dont need to know how to play to join band

when you join you usually join in the begining class

and you will start learning with people who are learning too

The 1st trumpet is kicking butt and the saxes are swinging and the band is exceptionally tight.... in fact,the sax section plays tighter and with more style than MOST HIGH SCHOOL AND SEVERAL ADULT SECTIONS IN TOWN. There is rushing and dragging throughout but again I believe this program included over a dozen tunes and the drummers are not strong enough to drive the band yet.

These are 8th graders in their first attempt at swing. For heaven sakes, these students have only been playing their instrument for 2 years! True the chromatic lick is not tight but what do you expect from 2nd year players?
