I really love these Digital Rehearsal Hall videos! Especially to see how Col Jason Fettig interacts with The President's Own!

I felt that sax in my soul

[@bassbone52]

I’ve always enjoyed rehearsals more than actual performances. There is so much to be learned from a great conductor and listening to the various sections. Thanks for posting these!

[@dolorescraig8322]

Fantastic band led by a fantastic conductor.

[@turnne]

Wonderful piece and some wonderful playing. This piece has been very popular/highly programmed during the last few years. The elements of the black church and the jazz themes are incredible.

[@curtisperrin-chhsband4917]

Wonderful to hear the band work through something not in the traditional rep that is probably new to many of the players. Great job, keep these coming!

[@manondumouchel5298]

Moinsen. So late at night you get me out of my chair. I'm over the moon. Fantastic. An incredibly outrageous sound. Thank you for letting us be a part of the rehearsal. Wie schon so oft: ich kannte dieses Musikstück nicht. Ich empfehle es mit BOSE zu hören 😎.

Colonel Fettig. I has got to be a really wonderful time for you rehearsing these world class musicians. Come Sunday knocked my socks off:) I am a clarinetist, but you and your clan o f Clarinetists, (I'm not excluding everyone else) are on a different Plane of existence!!! WOW!! Frederick Spector

[@shelllevy3736]

Why are you tuning to a Bb Clarinet instead of the fixed pitch OBOE?

[@Michael-ig8ih]

The majority of band instruments are in a flat key. The Bb is more stable on the clarinet than oboe. Plus the 1st clarinet fills the concertmaster role.

[@richardstone5813]

Great question….puzzled me as well. We always used the Oboe concert A to tune to (Raf Central Band). The answer provided is equally puzzling. Clarinets, in this case, are pitched in Bb….ie. Pitch. As it happens, (having been for many years a Principal clarinet player) Bb (A+speaker key) is the least stable note the instrument produces so the worst choice. Choosing the Clarinet because there are lots of them is as illogical as choosing a Trombone because it can be the loudest….. Great individual standards of playing.

@@richardstone5813The Bb Clarinet player is playing their C, a sounding Bb, so the problems with a clarinet’s Bb are irrelevant
