Thanks for the comments Jimbo :)
I do agree that the final run could be stronger and tighter. I'm kinda of just cranking out tracks very quickly (this one was just a few hours, barely mixed and thrown right up on YouTube), probably two more little cues like this and then I'll go back and do some touching up on everything before launching my website.
I'm designing this little series to target trailers more than anything, and from what I've seen they tend to be pretty repetitive and driving, so that's been kind of my strategy lately. Just quick little bursts of catchiness.
And there are woodwinds in this :) Just flutes and clarinets. They are very much in the back seat though, mostly just playing octaves to enhance the lead melodies. You should hear the flutes kick in right when the piano finishes the lead for the second time, and the tubas do their first big hit. I couldn't find much room for them (woodwinds), because there's already (I think) all divisis of violins, violas, cellos, and a full bass section going, much less the brass.
