Just played this song at a University during my senior year of high school. It was really cool having Mr. Balmages as our conductor! This is easily one of my favorite songs for concert band. It was a pleasure working with him for the second time in my life. He is a brilliant composer and musician. For once, a composer wrote a fun and interesting Bari Sax part and for that alone, I have great respect for him. :D

When I was in fourth grade and began flute, I thought even blowing the mouthpiece without whistle would be impossible. Now I see the beauty in believing in yourself! We played Colliding Visions, also by Brian Balmages. I love the emotion he can put into music.
@brennadarnell50442 жыл бұрын
Colliding visions is such a beautiful piece. I was supposed to play it for an honor band, but it was cut. My director was then supposed to have us play it for class that year, but COVID interfered. This piece is a challenge, but definitely rewarding in the end

People stop fighting. This is a great piece, and every instrument is important. Whether you play something as big and powerful as the tuba, or if you play something that is so small and quiet as the flute.

I played this my senior year of high school in our All-County band. It was a lot of fun putting it together, and it was the hardest piece on our concert last year. I played first horn three of the four years I was in the high school All-County.
