I had the joy of playing this piece in an honor band I was in while in high school. It was such a great piece to perform! So glad to hear this recording of it.
I'm playing this tomorrow in a concert, and thought I'd listen to this and watch through my part. Fantastic performance! I'm playing essentially what the percussionist running around playing vibes/xylophone/glock is doing. Plus tambourine as we don't have enough players to cover it. And skipping a few bars on vibes as I seriously can't get to them and back in time like this guy is doing! I see that he's moving his music between stands sometimes. I've found it easiest to have one part per stand, as I don't trust myself not to drop the music during the concert... And then I have highlighted and colour coded each instrument (obviously not on original parts). That helps particularly when I'm swapping between instruments as it is easy to lose your place on the page. I also have copious reminders and arrows and things like that to help me get my bearings when I swap over. Hard work!
