2008 CMS Middle School Honors Band, Song 5

Song 5
Trails of Glory by James Swearingen
Charlotte, NC

Approximately 84 students were selected for Honors Band from 19 Charlotte-Mecklenburg Public Middle Schools (CMS Middle Schools).

The students met for the first time on Friday, March 30, from 8 AM to 5 PM, and then again Saturday morning, 9 AM to 11:30 AM. They had one more rehearsal at 1:30 PM, and then played for the audience at 2:00 PM. The conductor is Scott Clowes of East Mecklenburg High School, Director of Bands.

The students played wonderfully together after such a brief practice period. They learned how to play five songs in a day and a half.

i am listening to this, since my band teacher gave the piece to us to play for our end of term concert, and i wanted to hear it. and i think it will be fun.... and

trumpet ftw

[mfbogproductions]

killed the triplets at the end!! but still the flutes were amazing and the trombones sounded a heck of a lot better than the ones in my band

[lunarxman]

sounded great but a lil slow at the coda at the end

Playin this song at contest in March

[adamwestssholderbird]

The time perioud they had to learn that is so short! But in my opinion, it was an easy piece. In the summer we have band camp and we only have 1 week to learn about 6 pieces, not too hard for the bass clarinet.

[adamwestssholderbird]

we have to play this in our regular band. I play the bass clarinet.

[Movies4you24]
