Played this in probably 93, in high school. I remember being so obsessed by this piece and all the intricacies and emotion. I still remember the how hard some of the flute parts were-and that was a long time ago! Lol. It’s a powerful piece and still moves me all these decades later. Great job!
Our high school band did this piece in 1995 for a contest. We didn't have youtube back then lmao. It's so good to hear this again! Thank you for uploading.
What a fantastic conductor,huh? I should know..I had him for 5 years at Akron...and played this very piece with him..love Mike Golemo. One of the VERY best!
Did at Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp back in...oh...like 1987 when I was a freshman in high school! This along with Festive Overture and Pineapple Poll. Good times!
Unless they did that line-up more than once that summer, I was in that band too, playing bassoon. (Had totally forgotten Pineapple Poll until you mentioned it.) Came here to this video because I was considering trying to convince my current director we should play it.
I remember playing this song in my high school band. Brings back memories.
This was a contest piece when I was in high school.

I played this back in the late 90s. We had someone read parts of the poem throughout. Great piece!

Played this back at my very first band concert at my community College. This makes me very nostalgic

.... am I right in thinking that was the year Václav Nelhýbel conducted us at a rehearsal of, I think, one of his pieces?
OMFG. The Suite to G&S's Pineapple Poll is my favorite music ever performed.
