@Kazeraida oopsies, this is 2008, not 2005, haha!

but all the same, carpenter (the conductor) likes taking things fast.

and I think it was a 600 level win in 2008.

[Kazeraida]

@cj1lorenz it indeed was a level 500 gold win for us that year :)

our conductor had always liked to take things a bit faster than usual, but we had eric come in and gust conduct at our band retreat!

greatest memory of my life was when the clouds parted as the piece was reaching the climax when we were playing this at nationals :)

[Kazeraida]

@mayfouk223 we didn't have an oboe player at our school, as no one was equipped to learn it in elementary school before high school! :(

[cj1lorenz]

WAY TOO FAST! NO OBOE SOLO! and this doesnt seem like a gold winning performance to me. No way.

[randomtryz]

The flute solo gives the song a more calm feeling in the beginning, It better complements the clarinets sound. Music is like that, where if you don't like the sound of a certain section you tweak it to better fit you and the people who are interpreting the music.

not bad, but gold at nationals...?
