My highschool band had performed Gustav Holst's 1911 classical piece "The Second Suite in F" in a competition last year. My band instructor jokingly said that someone should use it as a soundtrack in a movie. I used it in this animated short film. I spent my ENTIRE summer working on it.

It's a sweet story without a hint of snark or meanness. I like how you handled the emotional ups and downs of the main character while tying it to a musical theme. Excellent work. :)

Thank you very much. :D My band instructor has yet to see it; I can't wait to hear his reaction. I forgot to mention that the conductor in this animation IS my band instructor; anyone who knows him couldn't miss it! :lol:

Really well done. 13 minutes of animation is always an impressive feat. I'm sure everyone will love it. Keep up the good work.

Wow, really nice! You did a great job creating a story that uses the different moods of the music. And I love how you ended the story.

Thanks everyone! My band instructor did see it; he's obsessed with it. When he was conducting today, he said, "look at me! I'm conducting the same way you animated me!"
