why does your conductor play alto in the band? I find it kind of tacky when the teacher is actually in the school band..it implies a weakness in the sax section and that she is actually needed in it.
Conductors of Jazz bands usually don't conduct as a normal concert band would .. but thats just in my experience i could be wrong.. but our conductor sort of walks around casually like this guy and snaps his figures to keep the beat and gives the certain sections their entrances when needed.
yeah, if a jazz band is any good they keep time themselves, and know when to come in. the jazz style band is much more kick back, since back when big band jazz was active, most band leaders were busy playing themselves.
i actually went back and saw my high schools band play this year, now that I've graduated, and the conductor conducted a lot, which was painful for me to watch.
jazz or big band conductors arn't supposed to conduct, they start and stop the song but other than that they just kinda move around the stge making sure everything sounds good and pointing out accents to the band.
is that the drummer thats wacking with the brushes like 5 million times louder than hes supposed to or is it the tambourine? other than that, its cool.
Conductors playing in the band...sort of like Glen Miller maybe?
