geez, so much negativity to these guys......i've heard a lot worse.....

[YTJoyce]

I hadn't heard this piece before and found this recording very helpful in getting an idea of how it sounded. Wish the rest of you guys would lighten up about it. This was played by a very small band, and you don't know how many years they've been playing their instruments... maybe not as many as you?

[Bigyomann]

@RedRogueAssassins It's kinda hard to think about that, since I've done that before. I kinda understand their input because of opinion as well as skill if you will. And sometimes your band director will get you for things because he interprets the song differently than other directors or the composer. Playing Bass/Contrabass Trombone for Festivo is easy (I transposed my own part, harder, and switches between B/CB) but in essence it comes to opinion, i.e. way accents are being played.

[Bigyomann]

Lol, so much negativity. Sure there are alot of errors. But no need for the T-Bagging.

[RedRogueAssassins]

@RedRogueAssassins How about you guys try playing pieces like OCTOBER by ERIC WHITACRE and SHENENDOAH, LOCH LOMOND by FRANK TICHELI and especially SHORT RIDE IN A FAST MACHINE by JOHN ADAMS arr. by SAUCEDO. Then when you band director either says your not ready for those pieces or its too hard then stop and think about these guys in this video.

Guys Guys calm down don't get your tighty whites in a bunch. Nobody is perfect and the only it would sound right is if the score was simulated. The point of middle/high schools playing orchestrial pieces is for the experience and to be a part of something greater than oneself. Nobody's perfect. I play Tuba for pete's sake. My band director has gotten on me about things in every single piece we play in our high school symphonic band in the East Coast of North Carolina.

[SuperEvanp]

umm..... i am a french horn player and in the begining of the song i heard a really bad mistake... needs work but aint horrible

[Bibbitybobbityboo44]

Flutes need WORK! Flute 2 was way behind at meno Mosso. Ya'll to need to work on intonation at some parts. And the whole ensemble needs to try to balance and blend more. Also the tempos need to be faster in the beginning and the end.
