Well this is one of the songs we recieved for the MICCA Festival but we ended up not playing it. But, for this song I play the Timpani.
Your group will shine with this magical work that is inspiring and uplifting! A bright opening fanfare leads to a tapestry of sound that is woven throughout the entire piece. The music may spark the imagination of the listeners or evoke the image of a tiny spark that becomes a magnificent fire as the pulse drives toward a riveting finish. Spectacular!

I was in the audience while Brian Balmages was conducting the region honor band for one of the Texas regions. On one of the rehearsals, Mr. Balmages was growing impatient with the band's lack of practice, and he said, "You guys have the band part down, just not the honor part." Ruthless 😭

@TheGamingPurin 2 года назад

well thats what conductors are like. strict, even my band teacher can be kinda harsh at times

@KodeGringle 2 года назад

Seems like all band directors are like that, not necessarily a bad thing though. It also seems that every band chooses not to practice outside of class

@Guhhgur Год назад

I mean, it’s just like that. Texas bands are very competitive. I come from South East Texas and my Middle school always have made 1’s for 15 years straight, no one has yet to even come close to beating us. Not in All Region, Not in Sweepstakes, Nothing. CO Wilson, Nederland.

@@evanvankampen7528 same thing happened with the clarinets, we went from having 20 in wind ensemble last year to having 5 after we moved a bunch of people up. And then one of them broke his collarbone in the dumbest way possible. We were playing a game where you “died” and then he got out and sits down then says, “wait, I have to die dramatically” he stands up then falls directly on his collarbone and breaks it.

1st alto sax section leader 11th grade, make sure on the first measures where you have the notes G And C to bounce a little and stand out but not that much, it will really sound good if you just bounce it a little bit, trust me, my band got a 2 2 1, don't stress yourself over sounding too loud because this song is allegro, mostly joyful and bright sounds, and since i seen you said you a saxophone, only to you i give this advice, never give in and never give up!

@nancysweetland1221 6 лет назад

It is a tricky part, I know (I've got first trombone), but it's really fun. The main critique that our director has is that it's too loud. :) I get a little carried away because it's so fun to play. Also, the same for my band! I'm first chair (in concert band), second is a decent player, and third and fourth are trash. But the one other decent player is also on the baseball team, so he's never at after school rehearsals, so first part is a solo for me basically.
