Battle of the Bands: Flight of th Bumblebee

Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov composed "Flight of the Bumblebee" for his opera  The Tale of Tsar Sultan.  I am using the piece for my Battle of the Bands. I'm switching gears to a different genre like I often do but I will be throwing in twists as well.

Contestant One: Jennifer Batton

Contestant Two: Gisha & Jerome

Contestant Three: Peter Luha

Three versions but the piece is short. Vote for the one you like the best in the comments! I will count them up and announce the winner in a week or so. Enjoy and I will be back soon!
