I think this is a really great orchestral arrangement, though I must say that Kenley Kristofferson is extremely wrong when he says students want to play themes from Destati or those others he mentioned. Sure kids would like to play it for fun, but Hikari and Passion ARE the only songs people mainly know, due to the popularity of the pop versions of these songs. Those other ones people don't even know! Not even those who have played the game may recognize the themes of the organization or "Traverse town".

But back on topic, this piece is really good, as well as the Hikari arrangement in the VGL suite.

While the orchestration is quite good (Ralph Ford is very good at scoring for Wind Band, especially if he's arranging someone else's work), it is the common problem with ALL Kingdom Hearts live performances where the ensemble only places "Hikari" or "Passion", when the reality is really that no one really knows that as the "theme" or recognizable tune. Why not put in "Destati" themes or "Destiny Islands" or "Traverse Town" or any of the Organization themes?? THESE are what the students want to play.

However, this isn't Ralph Ford's fault. Considering the source material that he was given to arrange, he's done a tremendously good job. He's moved the theme throughout the band while still giving the ostinati or accompaniment parts something interesting to do!
