As a wood wind player...I am amazed at this performance. I can hear every part of the articulations. Even at the speed they are playing , in the beginning, its very clean and they are maintaining the tone quality and intonation very well

damn. Why are the Japanese so good at everything? They even make the best food...

[WaitingToLiveFreely]

Yeah my high school band is playing this and hearing this makes me want to cry because they are sooooo amazing and we well......

@kabalahman You're preaching to the choir! I've been a professional musician for 40 years - master's from Juilliard. This is a High School Band, not NY Philharmonic. They are at their best in the fast sections - driving and exciting. In slower passages (horn solo, woodwind solos) he's just time-beating. There's no shape in the phrasing, no music. However, these are youngsters and overall they do a good job playing this challenging piece. Looks like you're into new age.mostly?

@maestrojimbo as has been overstated already, technicality and precision are fantastic for this group at this level; HOWEVER, the musicality is lacking... musicality invests the composer's intention and vision for the piece which is MORE than merely playing the notes set down on a piece of paper - and again, what would another judge know from technicality/precision versus musicality?

Blame the conductor for the flabby tempi in places - most of it is good, but lacking in sense of direction. Check out the Cass Tech H S Band version I recently posted.

@maestrojimbo details are important, but what's really important is the big picture. their playing was too rigid and structured in my opinion, and i couldn't derive the true intent of the piece from this performance alone. but that's just me, i'm a douchebag judge so don't mind me.

the one who dislike this video doesnt habe any ears!!!!!

As a trumpet player of nearly a decade, I am EXTREMELY impressed with the tonality and blending of the trumpet section! It's really quite nice.

I do agree with another comment here that they are very precise, but maybe lacking a bit of the musicality?

[911CondieOnTheLoose]

they all sound really good and unified, but the style and musicality is wrong in a lot of places. it's not always about getting every note and rhythm exactly precise, it's about making music out of the tune.
