Yeah, they normally play it balls out too, "we don't need no stinkin' dynamics".......IRG CommandoJoe wrote:They play that at a lot of sports events...

We played it in Jr. high school orchestra(same year ESB came out!), all we had were 5 violins, 1 viola, 2 cellos, and me and my friend Scott on bass. Sounded good.verilon wrote:Cellos and Basses, and some violas, could pull off th elower sounds.Zaia wrote:Bah, humbug.

Try pulling off Marche Slave with 20-30 violins, three violas, six cellos, and three basses....And me being the only decent viola player....When the melody rolls around in the viola section....well.....TONE....Frank Hipper wrote:We played it in Jr. high school orchestra(same year ESB came out!), all we had were 5 violins, 1 viola, 2 cellos, and me and my friend Scott on bass.

Actually, it was Level 5 music (in fact, it had been played at All-State two years previous). We took it to the statewide "competition" and got 1's on it across the board. (Well, we got a 1- form one judge, but that's beside the point.)IRG CommandoJoe wrote:LOL!!! I just imagined how that would sound....more like Marche Lames. lol
*applause* Well done. It's a kickass piece.verilon wrote:Actually, it was Level 5 music (in fact, it had been played at All-State two years previous).

Yes, it is! *beam* And we played a six-page piece we spent EIGHT WEEKS on learning. My freshman year. Got two Is and a II (from the hard judge). Duplet on top of triplets....AUGH!Zaia wrote:*applause* Well done. It's a kickass piece.verilon wrote:Actually, it was Level 5 music (in fact, it had been played at All-State two years previous).

And a I- is still a I, for the record. So, yay.
Well, you're a band person, true blue, I know this now....IRG CommandoJoe wrote:I still can't imagine it sounding as good without the horns in it. It should sound good up until the horns' part. lol
