    i'm playing piccolo for this and obviously ralph williams hated all piccolo players because he wrote a 42 measure rest and then a solo. i mean come on my instrument cools down in that time!

      Us trombones always have the longest rests, but thank God we don't have solo parts afterwards, or anywhere at all really...

      Then there's the ridiculous amount of trumpet solos with barely any break, leaving us to get completely tired out by the end, which has the most trumpet-focused solo. Fun.

      +Theodore Thomas I was just commenting on the music. Of course I did that but it doesn't keep the instrument as fresh as playing it would. Please don't pretend you know the limitations of my instrument better than I do.

      +Theodore Thomas Honestly you're the one being the know-it-all here. Nobody asked for your input, and anyway my initial comment was a humorous statement that clearly went over your head. I'm sorry though that I have less musical training than you and clearly am not able to feel comfortable with this type of music when I am currently at a high school level. I'm sorry you seem so arrogant to think that telling people not to jokingly complain on RUclips will get any positive results. For better responses to your helpful criticisms, please try reading what you wrote before posting. Peace

    This was put together and performed not long after the end of World War 1, so folks in Britain had a lot of pride for their country at the time. This comment was posted less than two weeks before Nov. 11th 2018, marking 100 years since the end of World War 1.

      You can either count it in 6/8 or count them as triplets in 2/4. Either way, the conductor conducts in 2, and no one in the audience is any the wiser.

    Oboe player here, one of the most spectacular pieces I've ever had to the privilege of playing. My Bonny boy gives me chills, and always will. It's an honour to be able to introduce a movement, and then hear the band carry the momentum forwards into something a little bit more refined and beautiful, less timid, but more melancholy.

    I auditioned and made high s😮chool honor band in either my sophomore or junior year. Can't remember as it has been many years since.
    We opened with this song and I remember vividly who conducted the band. His name was Carl Chevellard (sp?) who was the guest conductor that year. I remember him because for some reason he asked the baritone/euphonium section to play each a tuning note. I think I was either last or second to last to play. He said "finally, someone under pitch!". I think that was a good thing.

    Mr. Piazza was my high school band teacher. He retired and moved to another state in 2018 but is and always was like a father to me. He got me through some terrible times and taught not just music to all of his students but, life lessons, confidence, love, friendship, and just about everything good in life. He helped me get to first chair flute and eventually confident enough to learn and play 3 different instruments, which I never thought I could do before freshman year. This piece always makes me think of the amazing times I had in band class because of my love for music, my awesome bandmates, and the best teacher I have ever had. Thank you so much Mr. P. You were more of a father to me than my own father was. I’m a decent person because of you and will continue to be until I leave this world. MHS band forever ❤️❤️
