[Nekoreyjj]

[gowbass]

NICE!!!!!

[352BallaBoy]

guess 1 person never learned the sax

[patrat236]

This annoucer sounds like Joe Bullard....

[callystarr]

Wow!!!

[jboggy27]

I remember being in the Wildcat section during this performance We all stood and had the rest of the dome standing at the end. The perfect blend of jazz, gospel and big band sound.

[ThriceCreme]

wow,,brought tears 2 my eyes..hope everything goes dis well when i come in as a crab..

[shoneyy]

i know he got a standing ovation and a lot of hand shakes

[ThaJazzySaxMan]

at 1:48 he started walkin dat thag..

[bamm602]

The dancer right behind him looks like she's getting a little moist listening and watching him LOL....

Great solo

[kuntryd74]

The best solo i've EVER seen!!!!

[williedicksman]

DAM MR.BROWN THAT NIGGA A BEAST HE MADE THAT BITCH SAY SOME THEN THATS WATS UP

[Jordanec15]

That 1 person who dislikes this must be some hatin lame from another band wit no life lol.... Cause this shit is AWESOME!!!

[CPlanet9]

My lil brother and fellow alum of Columbia High!!! Thats my dawg!!!!!

[djunior2011]

it took me 3 years to learn how to play it just like him.....my god he is awesome

[LCLTBONE2010]

big ups to ol buddy he did wonderful. got me thinkin bout picking up a sax 

[DaNumbah1Sax]

@PHSMustangSAXPlayer I thought I was the only one. I love my sax dearly but I was so tired of not getting recognized. I'm a good player but only the loud ass lower brass got heard. So I taught myself how to play baritone, hence forth I march baritone at Jones high.

[mimisol01]

u are talented.. and blessed

[ladyfaealicia]

the best instrument in the world to me....

[MrKomKast]

this is a tuba player? this guys is a musican

[misZwiLdcAt08]

@MrKomKast..yes he play tuba and sax...in fact he is the tuba section leader..he is relly good...=)

[ncscchoirboi07]

This is Bethune Cookman YALL ARE BAD!!!!!

[DaNumbah1Sax]

This shows just how they do sax players. I loved this song and personally i think he should march a sax. I could say the same about me, I play the hell out of my natural instrument the sax but i march a baritone. Oh yeah cookman here i come!

[PHSMustangSAXPlayer]

@DaNumbah1Sax haha same thing... i play sax in Jazz band kuz its my primary but i march B-tone... i marched sax for 2 years though

[ellisonjojo1]

Aye Columbia High School!!!! Jared is the best.

[letterM25]

He made Amazing Grace sound SEXY!!!!!!

[wowthiscrapiscool]

that was amazing. hopefully i'll be able to play my sax like that one day. WOW!!! that was really great

[miles53194]

dayum so hes a tuba player who is playin sax for that song! that was fire!! no lie. that man got some chops

[BCCHSMD]

I haven't heard anything like this. True muscianship. Powerful but not playing the song out of it's character. i would love to try and see FAMU top a performance like that.

[tdubasdfg]

man i play sax and i keep trying to figure out what the high note at the end it is

im guessing its a high high D but im not sure if anybody knows i'd appreciate the help

[jzmpcz22]

its a high D.

[tdubasdfg]

thats what i thought

im trying to build my chops up to be able to play that but i've only been up to high C

i still gotta learn high C# and then D

[k3kid]

are you sure sounds more like an altissimo G

[jzmpcz22]

for high C# (depending on what fingering you're using for C) you can either play fork F, 3, then 1 and 3 in the right hand, or play it like a high E and voice it higher. with D, play it like a high F and voice it higher, you might get some in between notes or some notes that are higher, but it'll center soon enough

[naozbyinca]

its a high F

[finneyboy50]

ay he rocked that bit and i played sax my 9th grade year nd in my 11th and play baritone and i will never ever play like dat mad props that kid fye

[basstalk5]

I'm a 48 year old man, father, husband, manager, musician, and child of God! Every time I see this video, I start crying... God's amazing grace... Played by that kid... Son, I hope you play nothing but gospel music all your days.

[kendall811]

jared u da truf brah it was a pleasure playing witchu at chs

[Biranandrew]

he can scream on tuba.............fo real!!!!

[betysm]

This was an excellent performance. Awesome blend and balance. Good tones and most of all great saxophone solo and this young man plays the tuba. Great job BCU. Give credit when credit is due.

[prettypiccolo11]

Tears to my eyes..... That isn't a song just anyone can do... you have to do that song justice... He took it to the next level

[ty499568]

Big Ups on this one Cousin(D.Wells). You found a Jewel. Much Love.

[jonesboy84]

If this dude ever audition for the BCC Marching Band. The band directors will definitely remember him. He probably will end up becoming a marching wildcat. He proved to everybody in that stadium he has the talent to do so.

[JEFFTHEJOKER]

He's is already a proud Marching Wildcat! This was his freshman year, in the begining of this clip the announcer says that he heard us here last year and now he's one of us! Besides if he wasn't one of us he wouldn't have on a band uniform! TRUST ME

[ReKaMeKa06]
