Just recently, my band teacher had mentioned hearing some of my music a while ago (lol) and asked if I would write a score for the senior concert band (my band class). So I basically get to write out an almost fully orchestrated (just missing strings) song to be played by a live band of about 50 players.They're also going to play it at the spring concert. !!! needless to say, I'm pretty stoked about writing it lol.
There's lots of parts I have to write for: flute, saxophone, clarinets, horns, trumpets, tubas, percussion, etc, but I'm working on what I hope will be my best orchestral piece to date
. Can't wait to see how that goes...
Anyways, I'll be updating this topic with WIP versions of the song mockup (played by my soundfonts/VSTs with FL, haha) as I go along with this song. Here's hoping this turns out good.
(also, I'm including some very subtle references to a few video game pieces, just because...
nothing too obvious though, the song's original...)

And, here's the rough recording of us playing it live... the crappy recording kind of killed it, but I'll have a high quality version later next week.
