Wow! UBC visited our school last week. I have to say that their band played very well. The music professor, Dr.Taylor, was a really great conductor and left some really useful insight. We got to eat dinner with a few of the musicians and they were all super friendly!

While the professor was giving us feedback, he really emphasized on playing lightly so that when we did have to slur or accent a note, it would pop out more so while playing your pieces, I would remember that. He was pretty hard on the concert master because during one of our pieces (Profanation by Bernstein), he said that his attacks were too aggressive and shrill. I guess you could interpret it either way because the piece is mixed meter and has a hectic vibe to it but I'll leave that to you.

Email the professor! It'll show that you're genuinely interested in the program and he'll have your name in the back of his head.
