Is this a middle school? wow!

We played this piece in my high school's top band this year, first time our band has made concert finals in about ten years. I was nearly sobbing by the end of our performance. Such an emotional piece, I absolutely love it. Perfect end to a senior year
This is the only decent recording on youtube, great job.

@Evola13 We played this song in my college's symphonic band last year and I almost did cry when we played it the first time. It is very moving, that's for sure.

Ronald LoPresti! Now, there is a name from the past. My old, dearly beloved colleague, Bernard Herrmann [yes, the bloke who composed 'Psycho'] thought very highly of LoPresti. That is indeed a compliment.

@Evola13 Not a song; an instrumental work. Songs are sung.

Dam i really like how you guys played the fast part.

i loved this song. especially the euphonium part. it was fun to play.

A guy worked with the band at my school and he said dont do the clarinet dynamics in the beginning put energy behind it without using the dynamics which i thought was a great idea because it makes it more musical. My band director also had the first clarinets bring down alot of the upper upper register down because of intonation
Finally, a GOOD recording of this song on YouTube.
