Is Michael Rubenstein any relation to Arthur Rubenstein?

[trane1959]

If the answer was yes, would it make any difference.

[tswans1234]

[Canolad]

My middle school band is playing this...

[jdawg3771556]

we have to play this song for hs seect and we ran it through faster than this... XD

[Logg66]

well played if anything it's a bit fast, I was hoping it would be a bit more British and lilting. Definitely think pirates lifting steins full o 'grog

I actually liked that the low brass stood out quite a bit, but their articulation needs a bit of work.

Overall nicely done, but I didn't hear a lot of dynamics so maybe that's something to work on in the future.

Still a job well done.

You people need to calm down!!! I just meant that when trumpets can't stay togenther it's sad!! And it really is!! I love trumpets!! The instrument is beautiful and it can be damaging to a band when they don't stay together!! I never meant anyones band was bad and I've tried to put that across like five times but like you said I cant't spell. And if hater coments are so rude then why are you making them???

[mote65]

haha, reading the comments makes my day...everyone talks about how they suck and they all have terribly atrocious spelling..musicians are supposed to be smart...anyway, i played this in high school, it was fun...we played it very well, our band was well balanced as well...

[alexandautumn95]

nvm and about ur first comment (i just now got it) i don't mean anything bad about ur band i just think trumpets are pretty cool and was sad that they couldnt stay together cuz like I said theyr cool
