My friends and I did this in 1976 for UIL. It did not go well that day. We got a 3. My choir solo the next year, I got Gold at both region and state. I hope y'all did well.
I enjoy this piece very much and I play it with a saxophone ensemble I'm in and it feels weird hearing this song played at this tempo because the director of the ensemble I'm in has us play it much quicker although it was very well played.
@sax9347 I understand your view point on this performance. We did not get a one. We got a two. The problem with this recording is that is was made with a flip cam on a very windy day and the first alto saxophone's keys were sticking.
We're going to compete tomorrow using this piece for our quartet. I think the hardest part about the piece is that it's hard to stay in time and the counting is a bit difficult
I watched this many years ago and it was just recommended again

Thanks! We appreciate it! I will probably be putting up our new ensemble piece in the next few months.

That was the problem we had on the day it mattered most.

yes Prelude and Fugue in D Minor is a grade 1 ensemble.
I'm doing this piece with my group this year!
…I have to play 1st alto on this song and now I’m scared ._.
We played this and made a one... we didn’t really find it hard
that was really good
Took this piece to comp today and got a 1c
is this a grade 1 piece?
got a one on it
