We’re very lucky to have such a good program! You definitely have a chance at making ILMEA though. It’s really hard to do it as a freshman but with AIJB and stuff you definitely have it in you. I managed to make it as a freshman and it took so much work 😭
@@jeremiahlevoy3435 I’m in district 1 so I’ve been through it… everybody there is so talented and good at what they do though, it’s so cool being apart of a group like that
@@musical.clover same hear in 4 I listened to the senior band this year bc I had a friend in it and I was blown away. But ig apart of being a musician is challenging your self!
We performed Danzon again about 4 months later in March at Symphony Center! We made a huge amount of growth and it honestly sounds a lot better then. If you're curious: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-V_lU-ylYihk.htmlsi=PvUdpuJtgUUdLmHC
Amazing! been playing this with my local orchestra - we have 7 flutes 😆- and we all struggle with the bit between 6:13 and 6:43, it's chaos when 7 people are all slightly out. so gonna listen to this on repeat.
Thank you!! The orchestra version has flutes holding an A during the solo correct? That would make complete sense as to why thats so hard. In this arrangement of the piece it's just the solo during that part and nobody is holding long tones. I remembering finding versions like that and I thought it was interesting. Also that's so cool that you're playing danzon with an orchestra- I bet it sounds great!!
It's so fun to play! No I think we're doing the same version as you are here, so we all play this section but it's so tricky and syncopated that we're doing about 5 different rhythms 😆
Ohhh that makes sense. It is a tricky a section, a lot of times i feel somethings off. Its hard lining up all of the rhythms, but once its right it sounds really good!!
As an oboist, whenever the flutes arent playing with us, I have a mini panic attack. Thanks for being there, even though its a little hard to hear you guys at times😁 Also, you sound amazing on the flute!!
THATS amazing! I wish we could have a band like that 😢 I live in a small town, and there are only like 12 people in our band. I play Saxophone, and DONT know much about flute, but that is SOOOOO GOOD
Thank you!!! Band programs have ups and downs over time. But just because you have a small band that doesn’t mean it’s bad! I bet you guys sound great.
I can relate, I did Sleigh Ride for my winter concert at school last week. And since there were only two flutes I had SO MUCH pressure 😅 and it also was my first year 🙃🥲
As the only 1st flute you nailed it!!! 🎉 I imagine this is how I sounded being the only 1st flute 25+ yrs ago 🤞🏽. I practiced Sleigh Ride for H.O.U.R.S.!
