Esprit de Corps, Robert Jager

[@danieldekok6949]

That is one FAST tempo for this piece--the tempo marking is "tempo di Bourgeois". Apparently, Col. Bourgeois took things on the fast side whenever possible--but this is REALLY pushing the envelope, and the kids are responding! Great horn section.

[@patrickfoit8261]

Yea it's 160 range if I remember correctly.

[@ecoRfan]

Incredible! This is one phenomenal performance. I can't believe that this is a high school Wind Ensemble rather than a first-rate professional one, because it's just as outstanding. Great song, unbelievably incredible performance.

[@HaloMasterMind117]

Lexington had and still has a very good band program. Good job!

[@LanzariK]

Esprit de Corps is one of my all time favorite pieces. Fantastic job. I literally got goosebumps listening to this.

[@Dansbandchannel]

The Edgewood Intermediate School 6th Grade enjoyed your performance today. Your performance was used for our listening journal assignment.

[@gotank]

This is a high school band!? Haha, simply amazing!

[@jarrodclarkeroberts-thepia7815]

One Of My Favorite John R. Bourgeois Pieces Of Music For Concert Band. This Is Grade 6 Piece Of Music Guys! Its Extremely Hard! So Practice Practice Practice! Its Really Hard. I played this in Concert Band so I would recommend this to your high school band as well.

[@muziquebox]

I really enjoyed this piece when I played it last semester!

[@drumbo90]

You guys did a really good job on this piece

[@xskills77x]

wow this is really good. I played this with the Tennessee All State Band and yall sound just as good as we did and this is just a single high school it seems.

[@Wiggles1745]

You guys did a great job! My band is going to be playing this for our spring concert and I hope we sound as good as all of you!

[@joselitoponciano2230]

Is this H S Band? They performed like a professionals👏👏👏

[@illiniballer4]

Damn thats fast, we only go half that fast, but we are the second band to wind ensomble

[@bigred745]

great brass sounds, i like it

[@Jon-qz2qj]

Might as well be in cut time

[@jasonrosenblum4372]

Intoantion at 1:15 ouch

[@mlefeb]

Ikr

[@mlefeb]

That is what happens when you have 3 piccolos...

[@Tigersox24]

Matthew LeFebvre i don’t know why there are three piccolos because there’s only 1 piccolo part plus an alt flute & piccolo part so there should only be 2 lol

[@ctblkman01]

superb!

[@jakebaker1051]

Dude these kids here are probably like 40 now that’s crazy

[@4life317]

My high school is playing this right now too. I'm playing flute/piccolo and swapping instruments in this song is truly a pain. haha but I still love this song.

[@tatescreek12]

I think the woodwinds in this band are very good I think the brass specifically the trumpets could use work on the high register other than that a great performance.

[@annabethchase3921]

great performance, my high school wind ensemble is learning this right now. Super Humans!

[@CarlyAlison317]

Great performance!

[@ThatOneDM]

Just got this today, M sounds like its gonna be fun! First Horn :D This piece sounds interesting, I look forward to playing! Good job guys

[@fuddrucker4567]

That's true. However, if you go into a symphony orchestra audition and walk up to the snare playing traditional, things probably aren't going to go your way. Traditional really is obsolete. It was created for tilted drums that were played in older wars. I don't know why anyone still uses it. It hinders several different aspects of drumming and quite frankly, it's more difficult and inconvenient.

[@kfranco5698]

These people are super humans.

[@peach_ohh]

Piccolo part is so much fun. Not that difficult to prepare either.

[@calp4905]

double reeds kicking ass

[@Thedearster]

Very well done! Get it Low Brass yeah!

[@fuddrucker4567]

probably. but that doesn't excuse the fact that proper concert snare technique is match grip.

[@virtuosity7]

nice job!

[@Bestieeeeeeee]

If you have a synced copy of this, I'd LOVE to see it.

[@coasternut3091]

We kicked some ass when we marched this

[@uscchill]

This is as good as the college band in the video response... how is this possibly a high school?

[@illiniballer4]

nice

[@Glitch5222]

@BeforeIForget19 Audio and visual just aren't synchronized.

[@Zomby_Goast]

The auditorium is a little dry: it doesn't resonate much. But otherwise awesome job!

[@fuddrucker4567]

ahaha. the snare player is using traditional grip?

[@kevalenoxx]

ahhahah...thank goodness for trill keys on the flute too!

[@hardcharging]

horn part near end: FAIL, same with oboe part near end

[@defygravityin1983]

The tempo is entirely too fast in general. It also is too fast for your band members. I'm not saying you don't have a good program, because I know that Lexington HS has an excellent program. However, in this situation, this would have been completely amazing had it been slowed down.

[@UnsusViolet]

its good but u guys did it way too fast

[@mayaa.1667]

ouch... way out of tempo

[@patrickfoit8261]

they are actually going over the tempo marking

[@HaloMasterMind117]

Lexington had and still has a very good band program. Good job!
