God, that flute player who played the solo was incredible.

Yeah, there was that...that, and not hitting any of the G (or F) runs. Still, he or she plays it better than I do. :)

im clarinet so idk how hard flute is lol, still seems more difficult than clarinet

@tamarcimenian3562 8 жыл бұрын

Actually, the flute is pretty easy once you get the hang of it...and once you get past being intimidated by all the keys! I'm a bit biased, though, considering it was the first instrument I learned (and have been playing for almost 10 years). The clarinet seems pretty hard, if only because of the reed business.

@lilliampumpernickle4655 8 жыл бұрын

ive played clarinet for 2 years and im really good at it because to get a higher note you just use less fingers, and lower notes you use more fingers. Its pretty easy because your finger positions don't change as much

Holy cow. This may be the greatest performance of Arabesque that I have ever heard. Not only is Mr. Hazo himself conducting, but this symphonic band pulled it off extremely well. Congratulations to these amazing students. Mr. Hazo taught them well.

This piece is truly magnificent, in my opinion. The high school band I'm a part of is tackling this piece... One measure in the song is somewhat ridiculous: 48 thirty-second notes in a 6/8 time measure. But this performance was very impressive!

@JohnJApanovitch 3 жыл бұрын

It's actually in 6/4 time. But yes, this measure may be the most tedious in the whole piece.

Gmea sight reads the pieces once they get to Savannah. No one knows what they will be playing until two days before the concert. This is why you cannot compare all state bands because they are all run so differently.
