I don't like the way the Alto Sax tried to add a jazzy insert to the melody on Something Doing. To me, It sounded god awful. Ragtime and Jazz are two different things in my opinion, but that may just be me.

In the video description, it says the name is "Ragtime Suite."

i played this in a quartet last year and this song is HARD!!! you were pretty good! not perfect, but pretty good!

[localsax222]

movements were in the wrong order but didnt sound band for a high school quartet, my college level quartet is playing the same song and its not simple

[brassbando]

nice play! Can somebody tell me the title of that song? Wanna have that for my band.

I was at the performance and being the father of one of the performers, I thought it sounded great. Some of you are a little tough in expressing your opinions but after playing music for most of my life, I can say that very few highschool student are great musicians and not many are even good. It is the love and passion for both the music and the instrument along with time that makes a great musician.

my evaluation is that the tenor player wasnt playing loud enough, the alto sax player has bad tone but had some catchy parts, the soprano players is decent in technique but his pitch could be better, the bari player cant count at all but had a nice eighth note run....i loved the time at around 4:40 where the alto plays the swinged lines and the soprano player answers it with scalar arpeggios going up and then down...it sounds so awesome lol

[merkyflourist]

hey lollipop i totally agree with you...i love the girl...rock on sax gurl! she had a cute repeating line toward the end haha...and i agree that boy with the "gold clarinet" does look kinda hungry hehehe

[r8zr4314]

i agree with asianarcane...i mean even at parts where the soprano player isnt even playing like at 1:20...that was completely off beat and everything and HE wasnt even playing....so that proves he had nothing to do with them sounding like shit and cant keep tempo...they couldnt even keep tempo when he wasnt playing so it wasnt the fact he was rushing....his tempo actually seemed like a light, decent tempo for the piece

[asianarcane61]

well you may very well be right that he should have slowed down to accommodate the others' lack of competence, the fact remains that he showed proficient technique, especially in the very beginning of the video...and the fact that he kept tempo while doing those runs and they cant even keep tempo with eigth notes i think its wrong for you to say he ruined it...in plus, he is definitely the strongest player here, and in my book, the strongest player gets to call the shots in these situations =)
