“Don’t forget the repeats in Galop” - everyone (Gold band was so fun! Everyone did great!)
literally! i loved it
*forgets the repeats in galop*
I think I missed a repeat cuz I was enjoying the music lol and my adrenaline was running so I could actually play the piece, since it was so fast and the breaths were so short I couldn’t keep up unless my adrenaline was running😅
Playing in sliver was SMMMM fun, everyone did great☺️ -trumpet
Great job, everyone! Thank you for playing my music!
flute player, awesome piece! loved playing it
Clarinetist here, your music was so fun to play, and musically diverse as well!
of course, i really like the part the tuba has where it goes Db Db Ab Gb right before the fermata
As a 1st trumpet, it was so fun to play, just a little painful at the end!
It was so much fun to play!! 4th horn here, the piece was unlike any I’ve seen (or I guess heard) before, it was kind of tricky to hear the notes that I was playing in my head, as that’s how I learn most music, but it was a fun challenge, really fun once I learned it and got it down, and the writing was quite unique! Glad I got to play it!
Glad to finally be able to do this as a senior, was so much fun! Gold Tuba 2
I loved playing in the silver band and was a great first time at the Virginia tech honor band. -Trumpet 4
Maroon was so much fun! VT, please bring our director back bext year! -Trombone 8
