  1. Love the percussion quartet, the color of the trombone glissandos and surprise epic French horn parts hitting top range at the end!

  2. What a enjoyable piece to listen to and well played. Also shout out to the horns for the random lick at the end of the piece💯💯💯

  3. Very nice sounding party of four gentlemen without ladies … Well, fortunately there are some in the orchestra!

  4. This was an an awesome piece! Love the vibe and performance; this is an excellent example of a productive direction for the modern wind band!

  5. It’s just something you don’t see in concert band pieces. At 6:18 there’s this build, all the way to 7:01. Listen to it all the way through. In most concert band pieces, you build to a major drop off in dynamic (unless it’s the end of the piece), or you build to a stopping point in new pieces like this. But no.

    This piece builds, and picks up *exactly* where it left off in terms of pace, dynamic, the whole bit. That’s what makes it so good.

  6. While admittedly bias, I listen to this rendition last night performed by the Las Vegas Academy’s Wind Ensemble, their production was off the charts. Performed at the Smith Center their production was incredible. I mentioned to my wife, we’ll probably never hear what we just experienced ever again…
