So I did an arrangement of the song "Hair" from the 1967 Musical "Hair" for concert band. I think it's pretty decent, let me know what you think.

I like the rhythmic drive. The change at 0:14 is nice, the way the opening builds up. I can hear that each individual part is quite complex - this makes it interesting to listen to. 0:20 didn't feel quite right to me. I'm not sure what it is, but it seemed to lose the pulse (strange when everything is so rhythmic). At about 1:17, I think the bass instruments (are they low strings?) could be mixed a bit louder. They seem to have an interesting part. I think this whole thing could do with brass or synth brass to help punch out the melodic accents. At points, it felt like the strings were a bit weak.

Counterpoint near the end sections seems little *too* independent vertically, especially with parallel dissonances.
