hey man. i dont know if u you remember me. im the bari sax guy. just wanted to let you know that i made state three weeks ago on bari, my name is actually maurice, im from south texas. i hope to see you at TMEA next week man.
@michohv Yes! Congrats, Maurice - that's awesome. Yeah, I hope to see you at the convention also. If you happen to see the jazz ensemble, definitely come by as say hi.
Thanks, I hope I make this year too. Im a junior, the three people who beat me were seniors, so hopefully i'll play with you next year. so did you learn jazz on your own? or with a sax teacher?
@michohv I started in 7th grade where I played a transcription and learned the very basics of improv. I've worked on jazz in my sax lessons since then: basically just glancing over prewritten transcriptions and listening to what teachers had to say. i've never actually done a transcription. i learned by listening to teachers and recordings. i'm just lucky in that i can absorb it pretty well. i have to say, i am where i am today because of great instruction.
@michohv Thanks a lot, man! 4th is pretty great, I got 5th last year and something like 14th the year before (the same school year that this video was recorded), but if you have another chance to audition I bet you'll get it! I wish you all the best on your way to the state band this year. What grade are you in?
pretty good man this is a nice little swing / samba i like it :) the Alto 1 should give use a little more zaazzz in like 1:06 or so yeah it would sound kool it seems like he was running out of stuff then he recovers but good nice work

Pretty nice man! I kinda failed at all state auitions:l I auditioned on alto this year and made 12th, but that's not to shabby for a sophomore right?

The trumpets need some work on certain parts.
But other than that, sounds really good, especially the saxes and rhythm section

Awsome saxophone - But since this is bossa nova - How bout making the pianist and guitarrist play the part?
