Like everyone said, don't swing the eighth notes. Other than that, not bad.

@Stevenup7004 It was, but this is a jazz interpretation, and this falls more under the jazz area than rag time to the instructor.

Also, about the sound issues, that is simply because the camera was stationed very close to the bari, and the first alto was a bit hard to hear because of that. From the middle of the ensemble, the sound was well balanced; that was our ensemble's strong point, we played well together.

This is a response to most comments. Most of you who are knowledgeable in music, and especially rag time know that it is not supposed to be swung. This arrangement was prepared by us (the students) with no outside help, and we didnt know anything about rag time. I do thank you all for the comments, because later that year we preformed this chart again (properly) and got a great response.
