I have the same piece with my band ❤

We played this song when I was in 7th grade and we absolutely butchered it at the concert, I will never forget how bad we did

Played this with my Freshman band 😭 It was really easy 😭

Are you from USA? Btw i think that it would be enough to tune the instruments before playing and ask the conductor if they are in tune because he should be the one to tell you that, it would probably help with the rhythm if you looked a little more at the conductor instead of at the notes, or if each student practiced their part at home with a metronome :). As for the more difficult moments that you are not sure about, practice them at home and try not to practice those specific 5 notes, but take for example 3 bars before and start playing from there and practice in that way. Apart from that, you all played nicely :) Also in measure 64 why do the saxophones play the horn parts? I assume it's because there aren't enough horns (typical) but at first it seems to me that there are those two horn players and there's no need for the saxophones to play their parts. Another thing is that i think that you should play the flute solo in measure 30 since you play in my opinion the best of all flutes, I know that you may probably not be very keen to play it as a soloist because you are afraid that you will fail, but remember that each of us must try to do things that are not easy, otherwise we would not develop. Greetings from Poland as a fellow horn player :D

My senior band played this way better. I'm in pain.

I remember playing this in high school!

I actually really liked your tone even if your chops were tired! Good job sticking through it, I’ve had my fair share of rough performances too!

the zoning out is sooo real 😭‼️ (amazing intonation btw!)

Playing this song for our trip to Disney Land(Flute)

Not bad especially since the piccolo really isn’t your thing. That whole band needs to learn to play dynamics it was F all the way.

This piece doesn’t look easy at all.

the beginning hurt when one of the trumpets messed up also good job.

Sounds good!

Just a question is your picc lip plate dented

Playing this song with my band (alto sax)

I really need the sheets

my band played this last year

Kudos for sharing this! We've all been there, but the experience of working together-whether performing solo or in a group-will add so much to your life. Keep it up, enjoy playing music, and make friendships and connections. This will be a part of your life that you'll look back on as a sweet memory! :)

oh a picc with non black body, isnt it full of finger prints??? The flute is already a pain in the ass I cant imagine the picc being impossible to get all of it out

the clarinets at 3:27 D:

Nice

Хорошенькая девочка.

Hey girlie just wanted to let you know for the future, no hate but you are trilling the C wrong. It should be the other small key not the one that you were using. (:

Is the senior 1st chair or do they just get to solo because of seniority?

I was searching for the scene in The Innocents (1961) where they say this classic phrase and somehow ended up here...and very glad I did. Now I feel like sailing the high seas!

May I know what were you doing at the beginning ?

the senior flutist messed up that solo so bad 😞

Saxes :(

Wow, you're doing a great job on the picc/flute part! It makes me happy to see people enjoying music.
