  • Amazing band, those trombones are amazing, all around this is the best performace of The Hounds of Spring recorded on youtube.

  • Your comments are fare, no need to appolgize. However, being a member of this band I feel the need to defend your statements. I agree the chorale was out of tune and we only had one french horn so staggering and breaks was difficult. For the fugue, our director wanted a build up to the final phrase (sorry I don't have the measure numbers) so thats why that is the way it is. Director interpretation kinda gives you the "musical right" to change things up. Thanks for your thoughts!!

  • Very well put Nathan.

  • omg sweet i was there!!!! im 8th grader at ellis lol i was there at that concert goin to EHS next year=D

  • Overall, pretty good. I didnt like the balance of the band though. The high voices were to overpowering. It needs a stronger bass foundation

  • definitely, the horn section needs to be a lot stronger in the slow section. In our band, the alto saxes play the english horn cues in this. It works out pretty well.

  • I agree with heyheyhey.

    The chorale section is a bit out of tune.

    Likewise though, I thought the french horn messed up the chorale especially near the end of it where the director took a retardando.

    In the fugue, the brass blasted sound, it wasn't light like HOS was intended to be.

    Otherwise, pretty good. I don't mean to be too critical.

  • XD You mean French Horn. Haha. We only had one, & Karen was amazing at it...now we have 3, and our 1st chair is a Freshamn & MAN he's good.

  • Yes it is Elgin high, Elgin IL.

  • Elgin of Illinois? Just curious 'cause this is AWESOME.
