I played this piece one year ago in front of a judge to be rated. During the practices, we thought we were not going to do very well; we simply could not function well together as a group. However, the huge impact at FF was a complete success during our final preformance, and everyone in the group knew it. We had such an amazing communication at that moment, a link that none of us will ever forget. I absolutely adore the moments this piece brings.

@StephenMcCleskey one thinks its perfect with brass

Speaking as a performer myself, we are humans quite capable of making mistakes, especially in a live setting. I enjoyed this piece as others do. Thank you for it..

One person thinks woodwinds could have done it better.

@Bbobe900000 hate the removal of the dischords...

[TheWhalebone]

Lets here it for North Carolina !!!

[Bbobe900000]

@liamro2 Actually, just listening to it I heard 8 mistakes throughout the piece. It sounds like the arranger actually removed a few of the dischords (and actually changed a C minor chord to an Ab major chord... 1:27)

@liamro2 This one or the H. Robert Reynolds band arrangement? There are no mistakes in that one... but in this brass arrangement I'm noticing some notes that don't belong there and/or are missing... for instance, at 0:52 there should be an Ab in addition to the G-Bb-Eb that are being played... then at 0:57(0:58) just for one beat someone plays a C when there should only be Bb, Eb, and F... I am just hearing this, and to me it sounds different from the original and from the band arrangement.

@Bbobe900000 i play the it on a regular basis and at first our conductor questioned the argumentation but it turns out it is perfect.

@liamro2 You mean notes that aren't in the original composition? Because that's what I'm talking about. I know how this piece sounds.
