continued from my last posting

because of reason number 2 I stated we gave up on cut n' run by gordon goodwin that year and the year after! Our soloists especially our keyboard player kicked ass on the solos for this song. I am going to soon video tape the recording of our concert some how. and post a video response. The video aspect will just be me putting the camera close to the what ever device is playing the recording.

you're still in high school I'm assuming?

yeah im a sophmore in college now. check the date.

[ZMatrix]

oh maybe you're older than high school sorry.

but going around to a video of a high school jazz band and critiquing every single thing like you're a judicator is a pretty high school thing to do.

Are you a music major i am! I am a music major at cal state northrigde which is one of the best music schools on the west coast aside from USC! I am a second year too. did you look at my profile I am 19 years old bitch! my high school played this a gazillion times better than you guys. No band should be playing something they can't play at the correct tempo. your band director probably was worse than my band director because if it wasn't for him a lot of guys from my HS wouldn't be music majors!

[ZMatrix]

Yeah I'm a music major as well.

I actually just played with Chris Vadala two days last week!

But yeah, congrats on the schooling and stuff, sounds like its going great. I still don't see why you're in college going around hating on high school bands though...

But you're just that awesome right?

@hanj31 You're ridiculous. I mean, I'm in grade 11, so year 5 trumpet for me. We play this song every once awhile in my class. But seriously to come on here and bash "kids" like this (I am one too) is pretty low. I mean, some people aren't as talented as other people are. Just because you can't play this tempo doesn't mean it's not good.

[tjeeta12]

You all are ridiculous. The commenters I mean. Don't bash fellow students for their efforts, especially publically to their face.

Anyway this was posted several years ago so no need to say keep working... nice try though.

this band sucks! we played the intro at the normal fast tempo even the trombone players. Our drummer was doing the harder correct latin groove. Our lead trumpet player was able to take the last 3 notes of the song up an octave, He by the way could play a double D at that time which was his junior year. A jazz band shouldn't be doing a song if the lead trumpet player can't play the high notes and/ or the band can't play at the right tempo,

hehe this sucked ass, we sight read this song better than how you guys are playing it... sad sad day for you...
