David Maslanka - Symphony No. 4 - TMEA All-State Symphonic Band 2010-2011

The 2010-2011 Texas All-State 5A Symphonic Band performing Symphony No. 4 by David Maslanka, conducted by Gary Green.

This triumphant symphony is both a haunting and thrilling journey through the mind of David Maslanka. Incredibly touching yet also somewhat dark, this symphony pulls towards the dramatic resolution at the end. In my opinion, one of the most beautiful symphonies, and an excellent performance.

I don't care if it's too fast... it sounds badass... tuba player number2... going for my fourth year of all state this year :)

@starofthewesttuba so did you make it? :P

[XdarkdomainX]

why is there a random guy (final row about 4 seats in on the left) i believe trombone? hes wearing a suit thats half white, and half red....

[Cha0s3737]

@XdarkdomainX Some schools have their students wear marching uniforms in concert season... really dumb :/

Anyone else get goosebumps from 0:00 to 27:11?

sooooooo faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaast

[gen15mello]

@TheBassLast Every section is huge.  Just LOOK at that trombone line up. Not to mention the horn section.

I think that's part of the big state band thing though... they don't sound too bad for such a huge ensemble!

@TheBassLast this is the all state band. they prepared this concert in 4 days.

[TheBassLast]

and how about the cellphone on the piano? :D

but this orchestra has a huge sound, no doubt ;)

[TheBassLast]

good recording, even if there are some mistakes like not following the conductor at some times, incorrect entries, only one of nine tubas muted (but all playing oO), and it's too bad about the trumpet solo at 9:09.

and why nine tubas?i mean, i'm a tuba player myself and i like a massive tuba sound in an orchestra, but even for this orchestra, i personally think it is too much. three to four would be enough i think (maximum)

I played this pieces two days ago in the Tonhalle Zürich, and study Tuba

Listen to the man yell. That is awesome.

[TheRadioactiveBanana]

This is sooo much better than Island and Magneticfireflies. Still happy I made it this year, though :)

@Hector95100 those are not clarinets, that's a solo trumpet. Clarinet's can't double tongue too well.

21:23 WHY IS THE CAMERA NOT FREAKING SHOWING THE CLARINETS?!
