I really love to hear anything Concordia has to play, they are excellent at every form of music they play. I wanna play with them! are you guys taking 49 year old Trombone players? ( I'll break down and take a baritone horn or Euph!)

You're too kind! I had the pleasure of playing under the baton of Dr. Scott A. Jones for four years in this truly world class ensemble. I wouldn't trade that experience for anything!

Thanks for the compliment & just so you know, any Concordia student can audition ...

I get to play this with the cadets this year. Can't wait for spring training.

We're working on this piece right now. I hate the flute part at 2:30. It's not fun for someone who's not necessarily a technical player. But the D-flat in the second measure is killer. All of the second flutes are playing it down an octave. But I love the song, and Concordia is AMAZING (oh my goodness, you have no idea how much I wanna go there. I was just up there for the Music Performance Scholarship weekend :)

Played this in high school when I was a soph.

I had no idea until just now how talented the rest of the band truly was.

My 3rd Trumpet part was at best, serviceable.

I just had to point out the clarinet squeaky squeaky at 1:52 hahaha

But this is an amazing performance! great work

@ericdrumz hell yeah. 83' Cadets were the greatest corps ever.

[ericdrumz]

@MetalcorexIsNotxDead ABSOLUTELY!!!!!!

[ericdrumz]

If you never got to hear the Garfield Cadets' 1983 hornline play this piece, then perhaps you might wanna ask God to send you back down to earth just for an extra 5 minutes.

[MetalcorexIsNotxDead]

Simply beautiful. I get goosebumps at 2:35 every time.
