Frozen Kittens for Orchestra

As some of you may be aware, in the past year I wrote a piece entitled "Frozen Kittens." Well, since I'm a young composer biting off more than I can chew, I decided to make an attempt at arranging it for an orchestra. Now, I know that this will suck horribly, as I know nothing about orchestration, but I figure that practice makes perfect, right?

I am aware of a few notational/engraving errors, and the fact that this piece uses just about no dynamics, and deeper comments on these things would be nice, but I am looking mostly for comments on why my orchestration is terrible, as that's what I'm really looking to get better at.

Also, I'm pretty sure that at points when many instruments are playing, certain ones won't come through on the midi because midi is weak shit. It's not anything wrong with the score if you don't hear something that you see.

Also also, I just put in simple rock drums, which I plan on replacing with more "orchestral" percussion in the future. It's all part of my master plan.

P.S. Please open the Sibelius file in Sibelius if possible, as the midi in Scorch and the .mid file sucks.

Just listen to "Harmpit" and tell me that it doesn't make your bowels shake at least a little. I dare you.
