Guy on the left here. You’ll notice I’m more of an alpha jazzer cause I played by memory

[ryansandiego]

I said "JESUS CHRIST", then saw the Texas banner and said "ah, yes"

This is the trio I've been looking for my whole life.

Now I can die in peace.

Dang I thought it was one person at first! That’s super impressed it sounded like one person - everyone was exactly the same at that high of a tempo

[jarrickhillery]

I love that I can hear the Rhythm Changes progression in my head.

So this is why I didn’t make all state

[noahg]

I go to memorial and y’all make me jealous, I play sax too. Sad we don’t even have a masterclass teacher

[RogelioEscobar]

Well....here are some All-Staters in the making. Good job. Make sure you get those solo chops up too.

[kieracmay]

I'm now terrified that someday I will have to play a song at 300 bpm

[lazer]

this was so impressive they were perfectly together through almost the whole thing

[gutidelrio]

That's terrific! Just a detail: that metronome clicking at 1 and 3 is not jazzy at all, and the whole piece sounds a bit strange for that reason. I think you should definitely try "clicking" at 2 and 4. But great job anyway!

[pastaa.]

The metronome doesn’t sound like 300bpm but I belive it

[benjamineastwood]

Is that a click on 1 and 3 that I hear?

[CryingARiver]

I remember this etude… seeing it so fast is something else lmao

[frogg]

why are bands in texas.. really good?
in canada, they don’t fund arts that much lol

[Jazztenor]

Great job, guys!!! 🎷 I composed this at the faster tempo, but settled on a slower tempo for state auditions.

[baguette]

My friend whos a senior kinda has flight of the bumblebee memorized dude is insane at bass clarinet

[spky]

[joedoreck]
