I never thought I would say this but the flutes are over powering in our band we have clarinets and trumpets that over power each side ( clarinets near podium on right have and trumpets in the back if the left have) this struck me when that one flute was really loud but got every note perfect

I played this last year, we cut some parts, but it still was a great piece to play.

Somebody please tell me what the really upbeat song is? I've been looking for it for ages ever since I played this in High School.
