Would it be a crime to say that I like this version better than the All-State performance? 'Cause I do.

@tbonesfa Better than whose All-State performance?

Hope y'all liked the Baylor Wind Ensemble rendition of this at TMEA last week. =]

@jsydney61 I know the piece well enough to know that YOU should never listen to yourself - you obviously can't hear. The intonation was really quite good.

@ModestlyLame Sorry... the Texas 5A all-state band performed this exact arrangement. I just assumed people knew wat I was talking about.

@Arkay66

Well done! WTAMU Band continues their tradition of excellence. Bravo!

WT has always performed this one beautifully. I just wish the sound hadn't gone all buzzy halfway through.

This is one of the most challenging pieces for band (a "standard" for decades now). So many woodwind parts are exposed and intonation is the absolute key. This performance illustrates the downfall of many bands - groups that are full of outstanding technicians who have yet to learn to truly listen to each other and respond by adjusting their intonation to stay in tune relative to all the other players they are playing with. A good performance, musical, but painful intonation in parts.
