I attended this wonderful concert. I am a retired Navy musician, and my youngest son is the double bassist on this concert. He loves his job!

Hello - Perhaps you know the answer to this question, or could ask him, but why does that group of musicians (at the far left) wear different uniforms than the rest of the band?

@@DavidForemsky they do that so they don’t damage the cords on their uniforms. I was an Army Bandsmen and percussionists and Sousaphones never wore their awards and decorations during parades and things like that.

The band members wears white epaulets and white cords! The orchestra members don’t

The final five minutes is some of the most powerful music ever written for wind ensemble

Yeah, if only I didn’t get like three ads in the middle of it 😭

I am so thrilled that this group performed this piece. It holds a special place in my heart having worked on it at UMASS with Maslanka himself. One of my favorite musical experiences in my life for sure.

Woah...clarinets actually playing tunes, not just sounds, on the mpc/barrel combo....cool!

David Maslanka (1943 - 2017) - a great friend of the American wind ensemble

Thank you for sharing your wonderful performance of this amazing composition! It is a shame that KZread insists on interrupting the performance with advertisements :(

This is exactly how this symphony was meant to be played. Bravo, Marines! I got to play this on bass trombone with the Virginia Tech Symphonic Wind Ensemble 10 years ago at Carnegie Hall. Brings back a lot of good memories.

I love how Doug is the thumbnail and opening solo. Way to go!

Super to hear this masterwork from The President's Own!! This is the piece that convinced me to pursue this thing professionally - must have been incredible live! Bravo tutti.

Fantastic! Great job on the horn solos Doug!

Excellent horn intro. No quivering lips here.

That last few minutes - chills!

Oh! How this is marvelous.. I love so much this .. fantastic you are .. thank you Marine Band for this beautiful music .. WOW! Absolument wonderful ❤

Playing this for my high school concert, it’s so good

This performance has one of the best balances between the winds and the organ Ive heard

It was great live.

The saxophone mouthpiece use is incredible!

At 24:23 the quote of praise god from whom all blessings flow is perfect!!!

Well done guys! Very impressed with the last movement. Bouquets to the percussion section!

Beautiful playing from all! I’d love to hear you all record Maslanka’s 7th Symphony as well!

Go Darren! and Lewis!

I always appreciate hearing wind ensemble repertoire performed by professional musicians rather than college students. Fine performance

Muito linda interpretação...bravos

i wish the conductor provided the breath for artistry that is inherent in the music that maslanka wrote.

The African Methodist Episcopal version of “Praise God, from whom all blessings flow? How American Anglican is this piece…

Yes, though that melody has been in existence for way longer than the United States has. Bach uses it in Cantata 130 which is older than the United States. kzread.info/dash/bejne/lKSoo6mudKvOlZM.html

In short the concept of the United States of America has been in existence well before 1776; Cantata 130… as color is not race and as an Allen not a descendant of Bishop Richard Allen (founder of the A.M.E.) but James.

Horn win! Doug Q. is the best!!!

I'm not God but if I were you I would say bravo you play that as a unit from your heart with perfect softness and lives and beautiful beautiful me Lucy

Great performance! Where's the brilliant vibrato for the saxophone solo?

Is there anything in concert band repertoire more epic than 24:51, except maybe the end of Russian Christmas Music?
