Way to go Colin and kids! Haters can keep on hating. Amazing how difficult these books are now.

[@timevaporwave]

Sometimes the entire book doesn't make it depending on the situation. Does it actually project in the music ensemble, is it playable as a percussion ensemble on a consistent basis, or if the entire corps' book changes based on feedback. It's best to start beefy and work from there. They are playing excellently and I wish them the best of luck this season!

[@jimmykrutakofficial294]

Is the audio clipped?

[@Zeeeeeee777]

I think I have E and F down. But just in case can we do it one more time?

This music seems a lot more beefy and more musical I have a feeling Colin is not just making the music just to make it hard but actually win Fred Sanford

[@zephyrmartel6676]

That pretty much will come down to FE content I feel. Like that’s why they didn’t win percussion in ‘22

Vic Firth, come on. You should be recording these at 60fps...
