I’m so surprised this band has 2 Bari sax players, 1 contrabassoon and what looks like 1 contra-alto clarinet and 2 bass clarinets with the low extensions!
Maybe they didn’t have an open holed flute 🤷♂️ personally I don’t have/use one but that’s mainly because I’m a percussion main/I don’t have the money, but if I played in a big band (like the one in the video) then I would be using one for sure, I just don’t get why she wouldn’t have one, unless I’m just overthinking this
(2:16) good lord the xylophone player was GOING OFF he did so good as well as the timpani player

its great but its really out of balance. trumpet players also kept messing up
True, there's many other performances of arabesque, this one is the most off

As a flute player, if everyone is playing loud, and the flutes are still louder than the brass, than there is a problem…
Send me your performances and I will judge them.
Bongos instead of Congas?
The flute soloist didnt do the bend??
I though the same, and supposedly this guys should be the best of the best. Also, there is a lot of imbalance, like... they don't work on dynamics
