Isn’t Live Performance Wonderful? Near the end of the first movement the lights went out on the stage for a brief time. A startling, unexpected moment but we persevered.

Richard Floyd was my junior high band director in 1962, 63, and 64. (Richardson Junior High School in Richardson, Texas.) A demanding task-master. But he was the first person to introduce me to the idea of doing a job well, to the concept of what quality means: How to measure it and how to know if you've attained it. What he taught me shaped my life. His values helped me achieve some of the highest goals attainable in the two professions I pursued later in my life, the second of which I'm still pursuing full-bore. Richard Floyd's intellectual and aesthetic influence guides me every day of my life. And I'm 71 years old. He's a very special individual indeed.

It took me years to learn the name of one of the songs at 7:00. I could hum it, but never knew the name. I will never forget it. Such an American Classic. SIMPLE GIFTS

Playing movements 1 and 4 for our concert band MPA. A wonderful selection of songs, fun to play and pleasing to listen to. I loved listening to this.

My school performed this at Disney a few months ago...and I kinda failed that trumpet solo🥲

From one trumpet to another I have done that before

I have also messed that exact solo as well. It's weird, the one other trumpeter I asked said he had also messed up this solo as well. It looked so simple, but I swear it's cursed.
