Joes tone is unbelievable sounds like an engine behind it, how is he so powerful?

[@Slyyp]

Years upon years of practice. I am also asking what the heck I can do to achieve the same tone as him one day!

Geweldig

[@brysonmckell2543]

Weirdest thing to me is seeing people I've worked with in this ensemble XD. I recognize a clarinet player I marched with in 2021, a french horn who currently techs in my high school marching band, and a trumpet player who student taught my band last year lol.

Brigham Young University

Fantastic musicianship. Terrible video production. It would have been so nice to see the instruments that were playing instead of all the times we were left watching those who were counting measures and NOT playing. I expected better. 😢

[@bryanleggo3489]

I just said the same thing. Worst video directed production ever.

[@bryanleggo3489]

The music's not bad and neither is the wind ensemble but this is by far the worst direction of a multi camera video I've ever seen. It was constantly shots of instruments that weren't being featured at that moment. I'm not sure I ever saw what I assume was a saxophone playing. It'd have been better to just stay on the soloist. When you're so distracted by suchpoor shot selection that is a big failure.

Some cute flute players at that school 😉
