Hi,
I'm a secondary school student studying music. For my upcoming exam I have to discuss the differences in interpretation between two recordings of Holst's First Suit in Eb.
One performance is by The Royal College of Music Wind Orcehstra, and the other by The Cleveland Symphonic Winds.

I'm an Australian, and I've never had any experience at all with marching bands - I'm wondering if the US marching band 'culture' has any impact on symphonic band playing.
So if anyone would like to share the extent to which they believe marching bands have an effect on US symphonic band playing, I'd be very greatful!

Thanks in advance,

Tim
