I actually dig "banda" style. Goes back to the heritage of military bands in Mexico long ago. The wide unison vibrato, the alto horns doing the typical "peck horn" upbeats, the tuba gymnastics....I guess you have to be a brass player to appreciate what they're doing. The clarinets in clarino and altissimo range, actually quite demanding yet so corny sounding. Part of the charm.
(But then again, you're listening to an old band director who taught for decades)
