are you playing the whole thing or just the end? this is cause the whole entire thing is 18 minutes long.  
BTW fun fact the 1812 overture was originally made to celebrate how the Russian army, defeated napoleon in the dead middle of Russia in winter but, the US uses it around the 4th of July cause it goes well with fireworks XD.

Just the ending sadly ☹ Otherwise, the majority of the audience would be sleeping.

And yeah, our teacher also explained how it was traditionally play during the 4th and everything! It’s a fun piece to play and since I’m 1st Violin, it makes playing more challenging 😃

OMG~ That’s a great achievement! If it wasn’t for the sake of the time length of our concerts, our orchestra could have played something such as the Messiah.

Singing the whole thing is fun too. Unless you are a soloist, then it’s bursts of glory between long bouts of sitting under the lights with a pleasant look on your face.

I really enjoyed touring local churches several years ago performing the entire Messiah. As for the 1812. Did you know that there is an opening vocal chorus to it? It is fantastic and there is nothing better written them the middle section with the fabulous violin chorus.

The choral part is often left out which is sad its one of the best written in that style.
