Oh my gosh one of my favorite piece ever, and you all sound amazing, my favorite part however is hear the sextuplet run in the flutes and clarinets at 24:03
Please do more rehearsal videos!
Such an impact on learning the music, conducting and about the work of a conductor
As one who has preferred orchestras to bands, your rehearsal has broadened my perspective. This rehearsal demonstrates a more than competent director, clearly explaining his expectations to musicians at the top of their game. What a delight to listen and vicariously participate in this rehearsal! Thank you for posting this. You made me a subscriber. Congratulations to all. God bless each of you and those you love.

It never ceases to amaze me how fantastic this band is. Also, Go Shannon Kiewitt on alto clarinet!
Magnificent musicianship and a joy to listen to! The President’s Own USMC band is a great joy in my life. A true blessing in music! I had the privilege of attending the first ever Presidents’ Own concert in The Netherlands (Rotterdam, 1986) as a 16 year old …. Never to be forgotten musical excellence! Delighted to hear this.
Marines are professionals of the highest caliber -- as much on the battlefield as in the concert hall! And, notes on a page are only as good as the musicians who give them life. So, it is privilege to see the process of our country's finest making good music great! As a 5534 / 5537 USMC musician myself, tuning into your rehearsals helps me relive the glory days of serving our country in the Corps thirty years ago with the MCRD PISC Depot Band. Thank you, Colonel and Marines for showing us what is possible when we strive for excellence.
Absolutely amazing! I only wish I would have had access to something like this early in my public school band directing career. (Now retired) Watching and listening to this process is so inspiring.
Listened while I was driving, so I missed watching Col Fettig's conducting! Will watch again when I get home!
Ok
Thank you so much! It is an honour to watch you rehearse.
This is so awesome! I really enjoy seeing the process of putting everything together. The band sounds amazing! Beautiful piccolo playing.
wow these are amazing i love hearing the thought process
This is a delight to watch and observe. Thank you for posting this for us!
Enjoyed listening to every minute of this rehearsal. Musicianship of the highest standard. Looking forward to the final instalment. Thank you.
Thank you Colonel and all your musicians - it feels like a privilege to join you all in this series of ‘behind the scenes’. Also, you have increased my respect for Grainger’s music!
Jason,
I've been fascinated with this piece for many years, and thanks so much for giving us a fascinating insight into how it works. IF I ever get to the US, I'll make a point of trying to hear your band live. A fine bunch of musicians!
Bravo! I played this many times in the Central Band of the Raf (Principal Eb Clarinet) as well as recordings for the BBC. The standard of playing, and direction, is as good as it gets!
Bravo! You've made a very definite decision on the "controversy" of the Ruffed Park tempo!
This was fun - like being a member of the band again. Interesting that for such an old warhorse, new shadings and details can still be found. Percy Grainger!
Oh! What a great privilege to assist at your beautiful preparation in music .. you are Fantastic.. the sounds is absolutely amazing and beautiful to see you all .. thank you The United States Marine Band for this lovely moment.. Enjoy it
I played this piece in college at the University of Tennessee Concert Band under the direction of WJ Julian. I absolutely loved watching this! Very well done - such professionalism, such musicianship! Thank you for doing this and making it public. Please do more!!
More of these please
Amazing maravilha!!
So interesting to watch and listen to this rehearsal having seen the Navy Band rehearsal with Frederick Fennell from back in 1987 (also on CZcams). This masterpiece never gets old.
I really like being part of your rehearsals. That's so fantastic. This is how you work out the whole composition.
Am I just imagining it, or is there actually a tiny offset set between the various 'orchestral voices / groups' in places. A fantastic sound ❣️. Ooooh, and the lightness of the tubes. Thanks very much.
As an amateur concert band musician, I consider this band to be the reference standard. When I need to hear a piece played as well as it can be, I listen to their interpretation. In my opinion, the President's Own are as good as it gets.
Couldn’t agree more
More of a UMich fan
Great Euphonium Solo!!
Having cut my teeth on the old Bossey Hawkes arrangement, the 'Pochers' is interesting, with the middle solo on soprano sax (?) instead of trumpet...
It's version B, which Grainger himself offered as an alternative to version A, and it is in the Boosey arrangement, too.
And the version PAG was said to have preferred.
@Yummy Spaghetti Noodles 1.) Why not? 2.) Grainger OFTEN wrote multiple versions of his pieces, for all kinds of combinations of instruments--he was a great experimental and loved the wind tonal colors particularly.
Nice to hear this band has the same issues many other bands have. The difference is, they make it better
First time I've seen an alto clarinet player circular breathe! I felt her part needed to come up a bit more in the opening canon....everyone else was easier to hear. I love that Col Fettig worked with the clarinet 'motor'; I've never had a conductor pay any attention to this section, but it's really important. Kept waiting for the camera man to show the low reeds.... As for the 4th mvt, yes, upper woodwinds, with those killer runs...so clean, even in the low register, where a lot of times, the sound drops out and gets muddy! Overall, some really great attention to detail without wasting people's time in rehearsal..bravo!
To my ears and study Grainger's sound grows out of the low woodwinds. Agree, the camera(s) need to be more aware of this. I wonder you think of this: With Grainger apparently more interested in reproducing the personality of the singer than the song itself, should there be more moments where the band's impressive technique becomes more secondary to the sweep (singer's exaggerated prerogative?) of the moment? Magnificent sound.
Bravo
Been trying to wish this so to speak for one of my own pieces. Help?! lol...
These clarinets flexin on us
Bravi!!
Based alto clarinet
I played this a few times in high school. But we never played mov't 3. Such a cool piece. I guees a hard sell for 15 yo's.
Why does the conductor not wearing his rank?
Enlisted marine officers wear their ranks on the collar of their shirt instead of on the sleeve. You can see the eagle insignia for his rank on both sides of his collar
