I NEVER make orchestral music, and since I want to be a composer soon, Why not give it a shot? This is my first attempt ever at making something with an orchestra in it. Tell me if you like it!

Noooo! I want to know whether the A worked instead of the Ab!

You are the hero My Little Remix deserves, not the one it needs.
So we’ll hunt you. Because you can take it. Because you’re not our hero.
You’re a silent guardian of music, a watchful protector of songs.
A doctor of dissonance.

Doesn't sound bad at all! I think the actual fanfare bit at the beginning can be expanded and developed a bit more before it ends. Herald fanfares, the "announcement" kind, are allowed to be really short. The epic buildup kind, which you have... Not quite as much. =P
Another thing you can do is thicken up the texture. Have more instruments playing more notes, beef up the bass, add some brass sounds to make it more of a fanfare and less of just a rising orchestral line. Right now, I only hear contrabass on the lowest part. Contrabass gets a nice, thick sound, but it's subtle -- not something you really want too much of in a fanfare. =P Adding a bass trombone (and the rest of the trombone section) should beef up the sound considerably.
Woodwind runs and flourishes are optional, but they can make long-note-based things sound a lot more interesting. Don't feel like you have to do it, though -- they're weird to write without sounding out-of-place.

Bummer, oh well, it's difficult to determine what's wrong when I don't have the score...
I'll pretty much just say: "What Versilaryan said" and also say, "It was very good!"
