    different arrangements. Lots of the grace notes in woodwind parts may be removed and the piece may be in a more manageable key than Db concert.

    Camera angle. If whoever recorded this wasn’t sitting right under the piccolos you would have heard more low brass. It might have been fast but it sounds great to me.

    Listen my musical …
    Listen my musical Cohorts! FAMU is known (famed) for their uncanny ability to play in & most importantly, remain in tune throughout a piece; BRAVO! Do you not hear the studio quality of almost every one of their performances? I dare u 2 listen to any of a variety of mediocre sounding bands that doesn’t focus on sound like FAMU, & u will run from the intonation! LOL! I love FAMU’s band for superb taste & display of musicianship & hope to visit 1 day to see if this remarkable sound is real! Hail S

    I think the main reason that you hear alot of piccolos is because of the camera position, It’s on the same level as the woodwinds and the lower bras are blowing right over the camera’s mic.

    You’ve gotta love a tight piccolo section.

    btw I agree you …
    btw I agree you guys need more low brass. I would suggest much more baritones, and add a few more tubas. I like the trombone and french horn sound. A little too much piccolos, maybe switch a couple to flute, other wise it sounds great.
