RE: Howie's Piece

I thought it was fantastic as a scene. It was simple and streamlined which is what you want from a film score, and it also had tons of emotion and energy, which is something else you want! I share some of the same concerns with Nick about orchestration in the trumpets, but if you were writing this for an actual movie score, it would be fantastic. I would suggest, if doing that, that you actually replace the saxes with horns. I think it sounds much better that way. Basically, I'm suggesting you keep this one in your portfolio so that you might use it later on.
