@goremi March 22 they gave the performance I was talking about. They may play it again on May 14th or 23rd, although on the 23rd they are committed to playing Gates' Concert Overture (level 6+) and that thing is a monster. all 4 horn parts require a 3-1/2 octave range. It's beautiful and profound as a piece of music, but an absolute lip buster. If they do Gates', I don't know how you could ask High School people to also come up to bat with Silverado too....but we'll see...take care.
@goremi you should try it with 5 horns, 1st chair state honor band+ San Francisco Symphony's Youth Orchestra+a Freshman, 2nd, 3rd & 4th chairs members of Oakland Youth Orchestra and well 5th isn't so bad either. They just performed this arrangement and at measure 14 where the horns light up, they went bell up and rotated to the rear with parabolic reflectors behind them. You could almost hear Kevin Costner galloping onto the stage. It was breath-taking. Horns got a standing ovation.
FIVE HORNS!!!!!!!! PLAYING WITH THAT MANY, THE FEELING IS INCREDIBLE!! lol sorry I'm a lonely horn section of one, I was lucky enough to play with four others in a reunion orchestra for one single magical weekend of music heh ;)
Okay, one, the first trumpet should've been WAY louder. He has the melody so everyone else is not important (especially in the beginning). Second, those bells at the end were WAAAAY to loud. Way to loud. But it's not the worst I've heard; this is a very demanding song. Great attempt, considering the second page of the upper woodwinds is basically all black. Lol
