Graduated high school a few years ago, but I still have my music sheets from band class and always like coming back to these songs out of nostalgia. You guys are actually the best band to perform this song on RU-vid. Congrats.
We are playing this is our band, its a pretty cool piece, and it sounds really cool with a rain stick, and the “Nearer My God To Thee” part gives an emotional feel
Hm... Clarinets are really out of tune. Also more Clarinet guys. >.> Too slow. Clarinets came in late on the blackout part. Also clarinets you're awfully flat. I heard that one tuba come in late and sound bad.
at the beginning the mallet percussion needs to be louder. they are pretty much the most important people and I happen to play mallet percussion on this piece and my teacher is always saying how the whole band needs to hear us. you can really only hear the bells when there is marimba people also playing mallet 1
