rhythmically, u guys kicked my high school band's ass, but it seems the trumpets are kicking down some of the partials, while we kicked some off them up. so meh! >P
the band isn't bad, soloist needs to learn how to breathe. check out Dave Stahl's version. It's up another fifth and ends on a double D. Ansolutely precise high notes, and the band was tight as shit!
This band did a fine job on this tune. Although my favorite will always remain Future Corps in Disney World's Epcot, this performance is a fine one, as well. Outstanding job, Mr. Roland Jones, working with your students!
Overall, this sounded very good! I do believe the first trumpet solo could have been a lot smoother, but the soli totally made up for that! Keep it up guys!
Great video. Where is Mr. Roland Jones now. I remember him from the late 1980's when he was at Rutgers University playing the Keyboard with his friend Dione from St Thomas Island. Also, I remember when he was "An Artist in Residence" in St. Thomas Islands in the late 1980's. Mr. Jones made great music. He played for Alexis and Jackie. He taught music at the local school in New Brunswick. Where is he now? I hope he hasn't left music
No, he hasn't! He is my band teacher, at my Private Highschool here in Houston, TX. He is very funny and very cool. He is nice, too. Do you have any idea what his main/first instrument is?
He was my teacher in Jersey City, 1997 1998 he plays the Piano very well he also plays the Baritone which if I remember correctly is what he played in the military band.
That sounded pretty freaking good.. oh my gosh....

the accompaniment rhythym the 4th time of the trumpet solo is wrong and tuning/priority is an issue. but other than that it was alright
