Sam Houston State University Symphonic Band under the direction of Dr. Ralph Mills played this just as well back in 1982. Michael Haithcock almost certainly knew Dr. Mills at the time...as he was director of the Baylor University Wind Ensemble at the time.

Fantastic! I performed this piece just last night (10/22) with the Medalist Concert Band from Bloomington, Minnesota. Coincidentally, RPH was commissioned for a University of Minnesota Bands trip to the Soviet Union in 1968, by their beloved band director, the late Frank Bencrisutto. #DOCTORBEN ❤️

Found this video because I was so impressed with the way The Cadets did this song during the 2021 DCI tour. It was great hearing this song with the additional sound of the woodwind section. Thanks for posting

it is impossible to listen to this piece, even watching a group of superb musicians sitting down, and not see the Cadets.

@ClarinetHero I used to listen to the u of m cbe rehearse this at northrop auditorium back in the 70s. This is the same tempo dr. Ben took. Yeah we all loved him. His enthusiasm was infectious. One year we did a massed bands concert with more than 300 of us on stage, it was a hoot, I think it was '75. He got fred Fennell to come and guest conduct, and we did a transcription of tannhauser overture. Was very inspiring when the bones stood up at the finale and cut loose. Sure wish I could get a recording of the event...

Boy the sound in that hall is terrific! A conservative tempo to some degree, but superbly played and directed.

Hill Auditorium, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. I relish the four years (1978-82) that I got to perform there as a student. I haven't played or sung in a better acoustic since. I would argue that the Hill acoustic had as much to do with developing the Michigan sound as did Revelli. Yeah, it's a bit slow, but you have many more players on stage than for a wind ensemble.

@Bryan Cavitt: Allegro Vivace is more a style than a tempo perse (although part of a style IS a tempo). It is up to the interpreter (in this case, the conductor) to decide how to, well, interpret the style to best fit the music being played.

I don't know what the tempo marking is on the score... but I've play this many times at about this same tempo. Doesn't *seem* too slow, to me. (Your mileage may vary, not valid in Alaska or Hawaii, see your dealer for details..

Slow is clean. The Dallas Winds played it great at the speed they took it but there are plenty of groups who slow it down because it is unnecessarily fast. And with the god-awful mute changes added into the mix.
