Again, if you are a member of the band and want a ZIP file of the MP3 files, just contact me.

This is from the Comal Community Band concert held on February 25 at First Protestant Church for the New Braunfels Music Study Club. This is from the second half of the concert as the first half did not record (i.e., we are missing Wicked and the Sound of Music). I also did not post the songs from the Hill Country Chorus as I’m not a member of their group and I don’t know if they want their music posted.

Our performance was one song – Symphonic Dances from Fiddler on the Roof. This was taken mid-stage with the good recorder (note the difference in recording quality).

Again, if you are a band member, you can email me for the link (if it isn’t sent out in an email).

Like my last set of recordings from the Hill Country Community Band, this is recorded from the crowd perspective.  I’m sorry for the lack of volume on the first few songs as the venue was a bit loud at times.

The ZIP file with all of the songs can be downloaded here.

These recordings are different than my normal ones – I placed the recorder to the rear of the sanctuary and left it running throughout the concert.  Therefore, these recordings sound like they would if you were in the audience.  The turn out was great and the concert went well.

This completes the long concert circuit of the months of April and May.  The  next performance will be by the Comal Community Band at the end of July and then both groups are busy on the 4th of July weekend.

As always, remember these songs are recorded from my perspective.  Thus the sounds of certain sections will seem to be louder than what you would here in the audience (ahem, trumpets…).

Song Notes:  These songs are from my perspective in the band.  So note that they are low-brass and percussion heavy.  This would be what the concert would sound like if you were a performer.  Also note that the IPhone has a good dynamic range, but some of these songs exceed this range from time to time.  Also, the first two songs were recorded with the microphone in the wrong direction (sorry).  Also note that these songs were performed after a maximum of 4 rehersals since restarting for the fall.
