I want you to comment on how well, or not so well the band follows the conductor. What is it they do or don't do? How do they stay together, or what could they do better to be sure they do stay together?

Trimester II, Listening Assignment 1, Due Dec 7th, 2008

How does the setting, and the clothing of the performer effect your opinion of this performance?

So how is it that all of these players make their instruments sound so similar? They are all different people from different teachers, and on different instruments, reeds, mouthpieces....so how do they do it?

Here it is!  

So Make some comparisons to the previous video....  First trombones, Now Flutes.  How are they different?  How are they the same?
