Quick Question: I may be blind, but where are the tubas? Secondly, the sound was either way out of tune, or was not loud at all...It seemed like the conductor was just sitting there at 2:45...I again can't see, but are there any bassoons either? Because without either tubas or bassoons your left with trombs, euphs, and bassclars to make up your low voices :|

@dudeaid There are 2 tubas--just in front of the bass drum and typmani. No bassoon though.
