West Highland Sojourn - ISYM Jr Symphonic Band 7.2.16

[frankyhenderson]

1st Movement: Too slow, students tend to rush and intonation is off the charts. Can barely hear melody (clarinets and saxophones at 1:09) Percussion and counter melody were too loud. Parts were not in sync with each other.

2nd Movement: Tuning, intonation, and wrong notes mostly. At 2:56 it is so out of tune that the intonation is so bad. Percussion was a bit too loud and so was low brass. At the closing line, it's super out of tune.

3rd Movement: This movement is still too slow. Percussion is still too loud and sections were not together and tuning was bad.

But kudos to these kids for playing a level 3 song which with the 1st movement and 3rd movement being to slow would have made this a 2 or 1.5 even at UIL/competition.
