  • Nice performance - but what did you do to the tempo at O Come All - it seems way too fast!

    Nice tone and balance though.

  • @alankellymd @alankellymd Most band's don't take that section that fast. But you can justify it if you listen to the melody in the trombones and imagine how you might sing it. The tempo played here is a challenge for the woodwinds, but based on the melody, it is acceptable. Listen to the original 1952 version posted here on YT.
