Good first bars but someone comes in before the beat in bar 3.
1: Slight intonation fault
Senza string: I could take more power, I feel the music lacks character.
Allegro: Neat start but then it sounds rather hurried and not settled.
9: Just a slight uncertainty otherwise fine. I feel we lack some character and spirit.
Held notes through to 20 are fine and good sounds heard.
21: Solo Cornet fine overall.
Some balance problems occur beyond 27.
Eb Bass fine.
F: Good moments heard from here - particularly Flugel.

Bar 4 loose.
1: Soprano and Euphonium OK
2 +6: Split notes, the music for me lacks character.
Allegro: Clean playing
8 to 9: Good playing
9: Soprano is tentative
10: Soprano and Euphonium not alwys in tune
16, through 17 + 18: For me needs more character
D: Timp works well
21: Nice Solo Cornet, and Euphonium joins well.
28: Looses the tune which is Soprano and Trombones and Basses
E: Eb Bass OK. 31 is OK
Molto Vivo: Goes at a pace but is for the most part clean.
A clean performance that for me lacked character.

Opening stylish. Bar 4 a slight catch in the attack
Fine dynamics
1: Sweet Soprano
Senza string: First rate attack, but often your ff is not loud enough.
2 before 5: The uncertain intonation has some problems.
Allegro: A brisk start. Some of the staccato notes are perhaps a touch too short.
9: Nice light toned Soprano but not without the odd slip.
You are actually broadening the sound in ff to some advantage
D: Well placed Timpani rhythm
Just before 22, a slight blip
25: Well integrated lines
28: The Trombone and BBb line should be over everything.
E: What neat Eb Bass playing
Piu Vivo: A really exciting moment and great to the end.
