    This was put together and performed not long after the end of World War 1, so folks in Britain had a lot of pride for their country at the time. This comment was posted less than two weeks before Nov. 11th 2018, marking 100 years since the end of World War 1.

      Then there's the ridiculous amount of trumpet solos with barely any break, leaving us to get completely tired out by the end, which has the most trumpet-focused solo. Fun.

I'm sorry though that I have less musical training than you and clearly am not able to feel comfortable with this type of music when I am currently at a high school level. I'm sorry you seem so arrogant to think that telling people not to jokingly complain on TH-cam will get any positive results.

    Oboe player here, one of the most spectacular pieces I've ever had to the privilege of playing. My Bonny boy gives me chills, and always will. It's an honour to be able to introduce a movement, and then hear the band carry the momentum forwards into something a little bit more refined and beautiful, less timid, but more melancholy.

    Aaaaah, Bonny Boy 3:27 so haunting! Also his riffs on the tune are jazz-like and almost psychedelic, reflecting ahead and behind the main line. Cutting in a snatch of The Cutty Wren at 5:41 as the "lift in tone" is just inspired :-)

    Mr. Piazza was my high school band teacher. He retired and moved to another state in 2018 but is and always was like a father to me. He got me through some terrible times and taught not just music to all of his students but, life lessons, confidence, love, friendship, and just about everything good in life. He helped me get to first chair flute and eventually confident enough to learn and play 3 different instruments, which I never thought I could do before freshman year. This piece always makes me think of the amazing times I had in band class because of my love for music, my awesome bandmates, and the best teacher I have ever had. Thank you so much Mr. P. You were more of a father to me than my own father was. I’m a decent person because of you and will continue to be until I leave this world. MHS band forever ❤️❤️

    I auditioned and made high s😮chool honor band in either my sophomore or junior year. Can't remember as it has been many years since.
    We opened with this song and I remember vividly who conducted the band. His name was Carl Chevellard (sp?) who was the guest conductor that year. I remember him because for some reason he asked the baritone/euphonium section to play each a tuning note. I think I was either last or second to last to play. He said "finally, someone under pitch!". I think that was a good thing.

    I’m in 7th grade at the time of writing this, my band instructor knows we’re good and one of the best he’s had. So he decided to give us hard music to play. I play French horn along with two others. Our band is fairly big. 50-60 ish people. So we have to play a bit louder to be heard. Anyway, I feel as if everyone hates the French horn and gives them music so easy that when we do a chair test it sounds like our warm ups. Every time we get new music I hope it’s hard or challenging it never is. That false hope is always there though.

      Appreciate being young, and being in school band while you can. I know that you can't really comprehend the depth of what I'm saying, or what it means. But one day you will. Cherish this time while you can, it won't come again. I miss band everyday of my life!
