An excellent show. Well done to all concerned!

Yes! I can still hear it. The theme from the muppet show at 10:36. That used to crack everyone up in the low brass section in rehearsals. Then it was hard to keep a straight face in the performance. No, it’s not REALLY there. But if you know the show you’ll hear it.

Excellent!

It is hard to believe that the String section is missing. Very impressive performance

It's a Wind Orchestra...?

[@youtuuba]

It is easy to believe if you know that the arrangement is for wind ensemble.

Man, why did it have to be grade 6 music? I loved playing this piece but *man* was it hard.

Why was the Eb clarinet player slighted when the other soloists were asked to stand?

What a lot of hot blown air, as only G & S could handle it. Most enjoyable.

Lol i'm struggling at 8:00

As a recording engineer who has specialized in live concerts of bands, orchestras and choirs, I was disappointed by the poor engineering of this otherwise commendable performance; it is far too muddy sounding. I suppose it is possible that the university hall where the performance took place had poorly designed acoustics, but more likely it is a fault of microphone placement. mixing (if any), etc. Unfortunately, far too many educational institutions that record their live musical performances are saddled with disappointing recording to show for their work (my guess is that students may often be pressed into service setting a lot of that up, rather than seasoned professionals).
