Were was the bass clarinet on that soli section?

[naruto10156]

@Bandgeek11393 Yes. There was even a Contra Bass clarinet.

yikes

sorry but this was horrible

[naruto10156]

Not one good thing about it, eh?

[bloody0spoon27]

fuck it i change my mind

im going to have to be an asshole for a second

but usually you can tell within the first couple weeks whether your band is going to be able to play a certain song well enough to perform and this just isnt acceptable

i heard rushing, dragging, intonation problems, rhythmic errors, wrong notes, squeaks, people not playing together and what else?

we scored 5 superiors and 1 excellent on this at county and were taking it to state next week

[naruto10156]

Well good for you!

We're are not the BEST band in the nation (take my word for it) but we're still proud to play in a band.

Although everything that has been said is true (dragging, rushing, intonation issues, color problems, etc.), my biggest concern is the lack of dynamics in the piece. The whole thing feels very limited in terms of dynamic contrast. I really don't think I heard anything below a mezzo-forte. If anything, the bottom end of the dynamic spectrum can be explored a LOT more, which will also serve to bring out some new and interesting colors and textures throughout the ensemble.

lol the horns need a lot of work in this...t-dones weren't that bad, i kinda liked it. percussion was good

[AnreRakam]

Though this happened several years ago. XD Great job.

[AnreRakam]

It was a little slow in my opinion. It doesn't sound that good to be honest but for a high school band playing a college level piece, not bad honestly. Dynamics weren't good. But the important thing is, you had fun. Sounds like though you guys rarely practiced. :P I'd recommend telling that teacher to start breaking down difficult parts so you guys can play them better.

@freakin1random

That's bad. That should be done at your own time.

[freakin1random]

I PLAYED THE CLAVES!! our band director is stupid. In our rehearsals, all we practiced was scales and tuning.

[MyImmortalFever]

the whip and gourd was the best. for the percusion at least, im not to good with anything else

[WhatIfTheEndWasNow]

@diana102393 :D Haha good times. We did suck, but you can't say it wasn't fun.

[diana102393]

oh brendan! we sucked SO much!! hahaha!

D: i wish we were alot better... thats why i quit band. :[

[jill08ian12]

A good effort.

The tempo dragged and sped up soo many times.

Tuning is a major issue here.

Intonation as well.

Lack of dynamics was also in effect.

Now I play horn myself and this is not a challening piece notes were not hard. And i also understand that horns are hard to tune but you do have a hand to tune. Here the chords and play. And what happened at the muted section.....My gosh.

You guys had a great attempt. Thank you for posting =D
