  • I dont think this guy has an orchestra.Why would they NOT show the musicians?Is this a gag?If the conductor is out there,Id love an answer

  • @kittysusca Valid question...if you look closely, you'll see the audience behind me. The camera is in a fixed position for the backstage crew to keep track of what's going on on the state. It's not a manned camera, therefore other angles weren't filmed. I wish too that the full orchestra could be seen. It was an amazing time.

  • I am second chair trombone and my high school band is playing this piece. It's not the notes that make it difficult, it's just the counting of the rythms and the upbeats.

  • very aaron coplandesque

  • So hard to play. Playing it in a High School Honor Band. Can't tongue that fast. Bleh. Great peice though.

  • @biodude37 They came in a beat early.

  • Ok, if htis is a youth symphony orchestra its really great played. Kudos!! Its just wonderfull.

  • Played this last year, wasn't too difficult by keeping up with all the notes at that speed can be hard.

  • our director told us we'd be playing this, and just by listening to the first 30 seconds i'm really excited!

  • @kittysusca Good point. However, if there was no orchestra, I kind of doubt there would be an audience.
