I would rate this band a 6.5/10. Generally good. The articulation could be clearer. At the the trombone melody, i would prefer the trombones ti be a tad bit louder. The trumpets/cornets are a bur off pitch. I really like the sound of the tubas! As a tuba player, their sound is very big. But, i think they could be a bit more relaxed. The euphos are also quite good, only at their melody there was a bit of mistakes. The counter melody at the beginning was very smooth and i liked it. The melody at the beginning was also generally good. The Eb horns did well, i dont really have anything to say about them. At around 4:20, i think the timpani roll could have been more obvious, not too subtle. In conclusion, the band needs to be alot more relaxed and played with more expressions. Well done Hougang Primary!
In my opinion, I'd give this band a Silver award. The main problem is the trumpets / Cornets as the melody is off-tune. I don't blame them though, it's quite a hard instrument to master.
This is not checkmate, the pawn can block but instead of moving the black queen away, you should protect it with the Bishop so when pawn takes queen then bishop takes then its actually checkmate
