I believe I may have a final draft here

After working on this for around 7-8 months already, I think I might finally be in the home stretch or even finished with this piece. Once ready I get to direct and conduct this piece infront of an audience (I'm hella excited)

Hey @NicholasG!

So, I reviewed this piece the first time you posted it in the forum in July.  There are still lots of cool features to the piece that I like.  Reflecting on your chosen ensemble I am actually a bit surprised that you chose to write this mostly in A minor when G minor would have been an easier key for most of the instruments in the concert band to play in.  You end on a really unprepared C major tonality.  In my opinion it sounds really forced like a kind of fake triumph to bombastically end the piece on.  It sounds like just a throw-away gesture and doesn't give me a sense of conclusion or of satisfactorily summing up the piece.  Also, the piece up to that point has pretty much stayed in A minor almost the whole time which further throws the listener for a loop when you suddenly diverge from that key at the end.  That's just my opinion though.  Thanks for sharing and good luck with getting this performed!
