They're all female? ..... They just killed my band...

[LauraEvangelineSmall]

This is awesome! Such a tight performance, especially for a school band :D It's inspiring, and I loooooooved the trombone solo!

[theprivateer83]

Wow, this is crazy awesome. SO TIGHT!!!! GREAT SOUND!! SO BALANCED, GREAT EVEN TEMPO, WOWOWOWOWWO

[MrKevin624]

Personally i dislike the intro. And the rest of the song has no accents or articulation.

[tedthetrumpet]

This is such a great chart of this tune; we played it years ago when I ran the big band at Napier University, I can still play the first trumpet part of that first section from memory! Going to use this video in my jazz arranging class today, thanks for posting.

@mtaylor50 This reminds me very much of the arrangements from the early Humber College Albums. I love the harmonies. Have you heard any of those records?

[phaty49]

hell ya they do

[JazzInCannes]

Sorry fort rating 3 stars but how many stars for the "real DE orchestra" : 12 !!! if  you rate this pretty good girls big band with 5 stars

ny way they are good music readers but solo are little bit........?!

[PecosRiverBrass]

What a great trombone section sound. Where do they get all that air? I play bass bone, and I'm 300 pounds, and sometimes I can't get enough air in my body to fill a chord.

Congratulations. Great chart too.

[itwasME1232]

GOD that sax part always gets me

[phialin1954]

Love this! Just feel great beat! The brass drives me mad!

[braintreecat]

I love this chart-especially the opening. It had some nice "Dukish" elements to it also. Strong trombone soloist-from "Just friends" band? Interesting stage setting-perhaps a multi band event?

Great performance.

[HaitinHitoshi]

Thanks your comment.

I wonder what's "Dukish". Is it meaning that feeling like as Duke Ellington?

Yes, The band played "Just friends" seven months later of this performance.

[tooflyklu]

good stuff

[DOAer]

Nice opening!
