1. They are kids , so let’s not break their ego. 2. The director and I went to undergrad together. Good guy, need some things to work in terms of directing an ensemble.Now the ugly…. 3. These kids are not producing characteristic sounds of their 4. It’s not really dope footage, but ok… 5. 1st song….tempo not in tact. Trombone hella flat (fundamentals). I agree the percussion too damn loud. Why??? 6. Just you play soft, it does not mean you play weak. They air will always be fast 7. Again, tempo issues. 8. Director, you dont have to clap the entire song. 9. Trumpets aren’t slaw, they just may not be there mechanically and fundamentally. 10. Disagree you don’t build endurance by “pushing” folk can’t throw buzz words with no context. 11. Umm this is a rehearsal so I’m not expecting to hear X band. 12. “Open up” can mean a lot of things….these kids need private lessons so they can have command over their instrument. 13. That trumpet that squeaked a high note….again poor fundamentals…. 14. Seems like the sections they are fighting against each other. 15. 🗑️
