Way to fast on Great Gate of Kiev.

There is no break between The Hut of Baba Yaga and Great Gate of Kiev.

One of the trumpets is WAY flat.

Lots of squeeking... -.-

[Flight3164]

Way to slow on "The Ox Cart". WAY to fast on "The Great Gate of Kiev", and there is no break between "Hut of Baba Yaga" and "Great Gate of Kiev"!!!

@xcolordeficient1134x

Yeah, I agree... The Old Castle is in this arrangement, but I guess they chose not to? But you figure that this is an Intermediate/Middle school band. The respect that typically exists in professionals and high school bands (some, at least) doesn't exist in middle school. I don't think it existed in mine.

[xcolordeficient1134x]

I don't want to be too criticizing...but this band took the "Ox Cart" like 2 times faster than it should be..They're oxen trudging through mud, not a marching army, and I sorta wish that "The Old Castle" was played, too :(

[OrangeIsDaBest]

wow they take so much time to flip pages of a book, my school we get copies and we switch it mad fast wen we need to=P

[carrotop1113]

first trumpet, youre terribly flat, terribly horribly flat!

[Blackout879]

when my school did this song the trumpits whern't very good but this band did well

[mermaidmelody18]

Wasn't the order supposed to be Promenade, The old Castle, the ox cart, the ballet of unhatched chickens, the hut of Baba Yaga, and then The Great Gate of Kiev? Idk really cuz that's how my class played it. They did a pretty good job though. Their Trumpets did a good job unlike my school

[waterman159]

well it's something...the band is a bit slow...

sorry!
