My 5A HS NV band has NO tubas, NO Trombones. I do have 1 baritone, 1 bari, 2 Tenors and 2 bass clarinets. Even with this, low Winds can over power and we have to be careful with balance. We are playing...

Plaza De Toros - Story
Japanese Pictures - Mixon
All for one, one for all - Chamber's

30 kids in my NV group and we got straight 1's at our pre uil. Yes it's a conservative concert, but covid took a hit in our district and we are just trying to teach fundamental concepts for success. You can most definitely be successful if you have balance, blend, good intonation, dynamic contrast and that the kids are just prepared essentially.
