Intonation of the group is barely acceptable. the trombones sound like they are sucking the horns and do not know what proper breath support is. THE dynamics are poor but that could be you tube. Flutes and clarinets are out of tune also. Tell the trumpet players and trombones to hold their instruments horizontally and quit pointing at the floor. Where are the Euphoniums hiding in the first piece. A little better on the second number. These people need to listen to the Dallas Winds , North Texas Wind symphony and to the standard THE President's Own , The United States Marine Corp when the Colonel is conducting. I Give up the Elephant of the fly are just to much I give up. Especially the piccolo.
The fact that you feel the need to compare an entirely amateur community band based in a region with a population of 500k at best, with two of the top professional wind ensembles in the country, plus the acknowledged masters of the military band world is I suppose a backhanded compliment of sorts. For a bunch of amateur volunteers rehearsing once a week I think this band does pretty well, and to be able to put on a show of this sort to celebrate 50 years of continuous operation putting on FREE shows for all is remarkable. If you cant see it for what it is its probably as well you moved on.
Mr. Perfect NO-It-All, your punctuation is lacking in the last two sentences. Give should NOT be capitalized. A period should follow 'up'. There's a typo after elephant & the correct form of 'to' is too. Again, a period should follow much. Have you ever been hit in the back of the head with a trombone slide?

Awesome. Spectacular. Great sound.
The best Sousa concert I ever heard.
Wonderful concert. Thank you..
This conductor is FABULOUS!!!
Is this Greenville, Ohio? With the legendary Pam Howard, Morehead State graduate on horn? And SAI? ~Gina Parry (oboe)
Great sound, gang! You make this former member proud!
Vækker mange gode minder fra et skoleorkester, 43 mand stort i Esbjerg, DK. tilbage i 60-erne. Glad musik ( ; =))) 😊😊
Expectacular

Wow. How difficult it must be for you to live in a world that's not up to your standards of perfection. By the way, you're fly is down.
