Fantasia for Euphonium and Band by Gordon Jacob (2008-'09 McNeil Wind Ensemble)

This is a video of the 2008-2009 McNeil High School Wind Ensemble playing Fantasia for Euphonium (Baritone) and Band by Gordon Jacob featuring soloist Adam Koch. Adam was McNeil's lone All-Stater in 2009 and played this for last performance with the McNeil Band. This was the 2nd of 4 pieces at the 2009 Spring Concert.

I played tenor saxophone in this piece.

This was recorded on My 22, 2009.

An excellent rendition of this beautiful piece. I like your interpretation and your big, round sound. A top performance. Well done. Rod

Thank you for the comments and suggestions. This was a difficult piece to play. For Solo & Ensemble, it was classified as a Virtuoso, which means that memorization was not required to advance to the state level because of its difficulty level. I was featured in the Spring Concert at McNeil HS because I made the Texas All-State Symphonic Band. I used my Besson 967 Sovereign.

@MaybeMingus I go to school at UT-Austin, but I am not majoring in music.

@MrEuphDude Great sound, especially when you were a high schooler. Where do you go to school now? I am a euphonium player myself. I attend Missouri State University and am preparing for my senior recital. Contact me sometime.
