I'm not a linguistics expert but it's recognizable you've got a grammatical error.... just kidding...

its a really tough solo to play and with all the emotions that such a great musician has left us, it is psychologically easy to produce that solo. R.I.P Fred Mills.

@steellster This ensemble played this piece better than any of the Marine bands and recording that I heard. So please think before you say something outrageous again.

Fantastic job on a very very difficult solo that requires such an insane amount of delicacy, but also a beautiful and powerful sound at the same time.

Great solo! Mistake or no mistake!

[steellster]

The sound is superimposed on the original! Fake!

Beautiful interpretation - the best for a brass only ensemble. I really like the solo, despite that little mistake. I also loved the dynamics on 2:37 and 5:34 and how melted the sound was between all instruments in those exact moments. kudos!

The trumpet player made a classic mistake of having a bit too much adrenalin at the beginning, causing him to overshoot. He did recover. His tone was strong and pure, as only a trumpet can sound.

Nice playing!

That was epic solo at 1:10. Beautifully performed.

What happended to the timpani solo at the end?

Lots of great playing. What happened to the timpani at the ending? The whole last solo is missing.
