Amazing Saxophones... just saying... totally inspiring! Enjoy watching this piece so much!

that saxophone section literally blew my mind, they were incredible

[@willhickman6650]

As a saxophone I wish I could ever hope to be that good

[@ddzcostello164]

Glad I'm not the only one

[@Emma-ul3gz]

wow I absolutely love this!! My school band played this a couple years ago, and my director actually knew maslanka before he passed away; cool guy with AMAZING musical ability

[@paulhaggett3138]

I subscribe to both the U Mich and UT band channels. I can’t decide which is the more outstanding ensemble. This is absolutely amazing!

[@robertruggiero7990]

Towson University Symphony Orchestra is doing a premiere of an orchestra transcription of this entire piece. Wish us luck!!

I love the timpanist's technique! This past weekend I was the timpanist for this piece, and I noticed that the most difficult passage in my part is different from hers. I suspect UMich played a newer arrangement from the original that has a more playable timpani part. True?
