this band is actually really good in fact better than mine and as a flute the flutes played excellent

[@ultradizdon7889]

we actually play even faster for our middle school band at that tempo for our band too

[@nathanielr.4844]

@@ultradizdon7889 do you like the fast tempo or the slower one in the original composition?

[@ultradizdon7889]

@@nathanielr.4844 faster because we played different Spanish marches that went faster

[@Unitedstatesofmerica1776]

Percussion was on top

[@maxmplayz1268]

I’m playing this on trumpet

[@zack2op576]

You guys did excellent 👍

[@gamingwarlord6605]

inumaki real

[@tristonsistare475]

french horn section isnt bad

[@keithquarles6553]

Very very good with well played dynamics, this is a weird tempo it feels sped up faster than it should be

[@tomatopotatoburning2]

True

[@keithquarles6553]

For an advanced band, again this is really good. Trumpets need to work on intonation a lot

[@rexdoom3848]

impressive tempo!

[@pmbpmb0815]

[@kylafoster7587]

[@JayJay-st4lg]

[@jacobwattson7015]

[@Trombobrer]

Trombone for the W

[@S3ll3rS117]

I played this just days ago in the spring concert as trumpet 🎺 (ESS band)

[@tomatopotatoburning2]

I didn't hear the tuba part near the end

[@Georgiabulldogs09]

Trumpets

[@hdog550]

why do the horn players still have the bell on their knees in an advanced band, their sound could improve a lot by keeping them off.

[@kevhamil00]

Define "a lot."

[@jeremiahlevoy3435]

Overall this was great! But if I can say smth I will say the dynamics could be better, our band director says to act like ur trying to tell the story better and the way to do that is using dynamics

[@hippyaimleader9933]

The trumpet can’t follow the beat
