Very good job, and arrangement! I have a request... Can u send me this arrangement? Only accompaniment.. I will be very grateful :) [email protected] - the e-mail :)

I was in this orchestra in its very first years. from 1984-87. Great memories. Shame youtube wasn't around to see the orchestra at that time! Would love to have seen film of all of us back then.

This is one of my favorite concert band arrangements ever, and you all played beautifully! Thank you for a great performance! Bravo Maestro

Hello, I was wondering if you possibly still had a copy of this recording so that maybe I could have it please? I just re-listened to this and I think it maybe one of the best times I performed it (not to mention beautiful acoustics) Was just wondering! Thanks x

Amazing. Such a strong performance from those so young. Really impressed, well done I loved it!!!

This is a remarkable performance. This is an INSANELY difficult piece to pull off, and you all did so well. I love this piece.

Love it

I remember playing this piece :) loved it!

The

Same.

iv'e never seen anyone play bass in the ballroom that good in my life!! if only i could play the tuba that good :L

I played this with the Gunnedah jr Brass Band in the Hobart Nationals, truely an amazing piece of music

Hi Dave, she was 12 if I remember correctly.

How old was Rhiannon in this vid?

Amazing :P

Brilliant!

28 years ago my daughter was in this orchestra, when it started. Great to see it is still going.

i can see the back of my head oO

this is the worst i've ever played!! :O

Damn, I wanted to see Matt dancing :P

woo!!:) <3

thanks for watching everyone! What makes this "special" for everyone involved is that we had one rehearsal with as many people could make it from all the different groups about 2 months before the concert and then all the individual band directors rehearsed it with their own groups to put together on the night. It was a bit of a scary experience but such a buzz to have pulled it off! Thanks to all the band directors who worked on the piece with their bands and to all the musicians!

@euphoniumtillidie the band is mostly aged 10 - 14 but there are quite a few players who stay in until they are 16 or older as mentors often in the principal seats

very nice

@Narutofreak757 Thank you for your comment! Just uploaded quite an old recording (Jan 2010) of Rhiannon playing a cute piece by Jim Parker called Dances with Bears. Rhiannon wasn't very old when this was recorded and it was a favourite piece for her because it was such fun to play. Hope you enjoy!

I'm spellbound. Oh, Girl, you are wonderful :)

Great to hear Cole is doing well and enjoying his playing! That's for the comments!

huhu.. im 23 and 3 years in learning trombone.. how i wish to play like this.. i need practise.. for my rimsky korsakov trombone concerto...... a lot of prctise i need... have advise for me? email me.. : [email protected]

@francescalombardelli I know you are.

Excellent performance!!!

man her high range is better than mine -_-

im learning this song as well, but im 14 XD. Played for the same amount of time, but started n 6th grade.

Is the solo by the player in front of the conductor during the slow section a flugelhorn solo. Great player for so young m. My favourite brass band piece!

wow, that is all i have to say!

I know that one :)

awesome job! There are some alternative 8va bits that aren't in the publication that you should try when you've been playing a bit more. Grondahl didn't write them, but a trombonist called Palmer Trauslen played with alterations and it's now common to leave them in. Mvt 1: 2nd half of bar 65-1st half of 66. Mvt 2:bar 53-end (with an extra trigger Dd on the final pause) Mvt 3: bar 110-118 Again, maybe not just yet, but it's something to aim towards :) congrats again!!!

Rhiannon you have been playing 3.5 years? Holly accomplishment Batman! Great Job, my students aren't even close to what you are doing in the same time period. Keep doing what you are doing or as a great player once told me "you sound great, whatever you are doing just do more of it". I am 55 and I still work with my instrument every day.

OMG....

amazing video :D i'm the percussionist on kit btw :)

apologies for the sound quality of the recording! Band sounds very good though!
