What the judges said about Cory's winning performance...
Journey of the Lone Wolf
Peasant's Song:
Great angular feeling to open, journey starts well. Good attention to detail.
A — I like the dialogue in this, well done tubas
B — Well done euphs albeit a shade loud for mp
PRESTO — some super effects and well controlled rhythms
F- Cornet & euph, well played
G-H — I like the drama created.
H — again well crafted
I — Well done sop & horn.
J — Nice chaotic music!
Night:
Atmosphere is great also BRAVO flugel, at last LUNGA on the pauses, thank you. Was played like a dream!
L — Nearly CALM, a shade heavy for me
BRAVO trombone, super 'COOL'
2 bars before N — not quite 'OBVIOUS' enough with groups
N — Thank you baritone, super mischievous
O — Euph, captures the tenderness
P — BRAVO cornet, perhaps a little more space and longer on TEN a shade — super control
Fight:
The mood is captured DARK/BROODING/RAGING
S — Folk song is passed around so well
U — Super RAGE IN THE PLAYING
W — serene could be softer for p, then vibes would be audible mp
X — TOUR DE FORCE! BRAVO

Journey of the Lone Wolf
Broad and expansive sounds at beginning
Great effect in all parts at A
Good cornet at F. Enjoy the link from G to H and love the mood created at I
What a start at K Flugel and then just fantastic.
Trom super and so many dimensions at N.
Great euphonium and solo cornet, and such a finish.
Interesting start to Mv 3 — Careful with horn intonation on build up.
Good at S — not overcooked. Great progressions at U. Enjoy atmosphere W and beyond.
Superb conclusison to a fantastic performance.
Bravo to all!!!
