This is so wonderful. Cory Band mentioned in the same thread as The Cavaliers. History: I was raised in England playing cornet with Carlton Main in the 1970s and taught by Carlton MD and previously Cory MD major H. Arthur Kenney. Moved to USA in 1998. My so James Boyer eventually became a Cavalier (4 years - 2005 to 2008 - Prin Lead Baritone) so to see the confluence between my beloved brass bands and his beloved The Cavaliers is so wonderful Bot Cory and The Cavaliers are amazing examples of brass performance. My Welsh friends should try performing this at breakneck speed on a field now :-). Congratulations to both amazing ensembles. And even though "I" don't know what it means, but I'll say it: SPLOOIE
1900maniac For this kind of music, they have to get the best and mature players to stay in the top six. They handled tough no joke pieces in the past, and I believe they can do it right!!
@@CorvetteCoonass Hello, LC Tuba89. Were you in the band at Luther College, Decorah, Iowa? I was in the tuba section of Weston Noble's band in the 60s, played twice in Lincoln Center. Like good bands? Type these into RU-vid search bar: "Seika Girls Memorial Sequence 2012-2018," "Seika Girls In The Midst of Youth #5," "Wine-Dark Sea: Symphony For Band/John Mackey performed by Seika Girls High School Wind Orchestra." Seika is 9 times Nat'l Champion of Japan; gave concert at Midwest Clinic, Chicago, in 2010, got 4 standing ovations from audience entirely of band directors. (My best friend in the LC band, Steve Hendrickson, was principal trumpet in the National Symphony Orchestra for more than 25 years, recently retired.)
Is it me or when I heard this piece for the first time with five lakes this year (I’m not in it but I’m in motor city academy we had a pre nabba concert all 3 of our southeast MI bands) it’s literally (I think) movement 2 from Boston Crusaders 2019?
Awesome piece and awesome performance (any chance you can play this at Symphony Hall on the 8th September? ;->). For any other fans of this music be aware that a CD was released containing the full work and other fantastic tracks. It is called "Triumphant Brass" and is easily one of my favourite CDs of all time. Also, for any hifi enthusiasts it happens to be one of the best brass band recordings I have ever heard. Go buy it!

Just saw this piece performed live at NABBA by Five Lakes Brass Band. As great as this recording is... go see a live performance of this piece if you ever get a chance!
I was there as well, and it was mind-blowing. As a Youth Band Trombonist, I was astounded at the trombones' power and tone. Absolutely staggering, especially in the intro. My band director was the third coronet in the band that performed this at NABBA, and he told us that the percussionists hadn't performed with the band prior to that day. Insane, the skill level.
With all respect to the fledgling American Brass band movement I think it will take them a while to reach this standard .As a northern borne Brit. I agree with another who said its in our blood .The area I come from 22,000 people has 9 bands plus youth bands .Its in our blood.
Hahaha, I don't know if there's such a thing as something being "in your blood", but there is much more support for it in Europe, especially Great Britain. With more competition comes better musicians. It's only catching on in the United States. I'm convinced that if there were many more bands in the US, the skill level would be much better simply due to pressure of competition.
Right, I agree. I'm just glad that somebody had the bright idea to do this. I don't know where I'd be today if they hadn't. I'd probably be a much worse musician, for one thing.
Conor McKinney I never thought I would live to see Americans taking to the real brass band experience .The most amazing thing, brass bands are staring to appear in France .
It's kind of weird how blatantly Mr Graham recycles ideas. Compare various moments at the of this piece with this: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jg9ek3qgeLA.html
Maybe if he was asked kindly by DCI, here in Holland we also have a like 2nd division only compared to for example the Devils in championship div. But why not give it a thought ♫♪
i think 5000 is still not enough ;) by merely looking at the amount of brassbands in The netherlands you'll see that there is an insane amount of bands.
