May I ask where this High School is?

I feel this was a whole hearted effort. And I like the result. Greig, and the suites aint easy... Highschool band? Way advanced over most schools in this country. I'm glad to hear a fight song w/out a sour note. There are small towns in this country, and it seems like the folks that are responding to this link have a respect for music, and are educated. I feel that music is the one equal to us all; from 1 day to 99 years and 3 days... Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.

The oboe needs to blend with the clarinet better, and with the strings. It's way too pungent and nasal-sounding for this piece. If need be, try a different reed. The clarinet too. BLEND!

Start slower and softer, please, and crescendo and accelerando more.

Oh dear, I see that racism is still alive and well. Anyway, for a school orchestra, well done. Much too fast for my taste and it has that feel of rushing about it at the beginning but so what. Keep up the good work. Much better to play Mozart and Bach badly than sound impressive in Star Wars - hats off to the lot of you. Don't ever dumb down.

I agree too fast you are suppose to start slow at the start then get faster

All right, but the cellos need to stay together on the intro with the pizzicato theme. Also, nice string violins, but don't cover the others when you don't have the melody (such as at 1:22 with the trills). You are lucky to have a full orchestra at your high school, I'll say that.
