[@Voledesoto]

It's some deep, deep stuff.
Best version on youtube I think :)

[@FrankieGarciaJ]

Reading this currently in the symphonic band at Stetson University! We will be performing it on our upcoming concert in three weeks!

[@HxCEtErNaL]

So much color and expression in the piece

[@FrankieGarciaJ]

Oh wow! Fancy meeting you here, Jersey! :3

[@thomasurice2840]

Oh the memories.

My high school is playing this

[@joshomaits]

Good overall, and very clean, especially in the woodwinds, but it needs more bass bone in my humble bass trombone player opinion. :)

[@nathanseals4819]

A good effort. I feel that there are balance issues throughout; lines get lost as they move into lower voices as well as certain instrument's colors (the euphonium and bari sax to name two) not being present when they really need to be. All the technique was very good. I could tell everyone was playing correctly, but they weren't together (this attributes to the balance issues), but overall a respectable performance.

Why don't you replay with a recording of your band and we can do a comparative analysis?

[@FrankieGarciaJ]

oh hai! haha. :P

[@jerseyconnor6408]

oh hey frankie and griffin

[@ooo6845]

It would be much better if the trumpets are stronger but everything is brilliant and superb overall.
