    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.

    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.

    The Music in May festival I'm participating in is playing this as a main piece, and as a cello player with wrist problems, I can attest to this being a difficult piece to play! Mainly because of the 16th notes though, haha. Amazing sound, I can't wait to play this with the full orchestra! It's very exciting, and the off beats add to it even more. :D

    So far, this is the best (or most popular and on Youtube at least) version of the piece, I just wish the audio was in slightly better quality. It's always upsetting when the audio doesn't match the level of playing, and especially something with as much intensity as this overture. Regardless, awesome piece.

    Sounds like the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra to me. Are you saying this particular piece is your high school band or that your HS band is playing it?
