this is one of the most intimidating charts for a drummer i can think of off the top of my head. the stamina required to keep up at this tempo is crazy! watching NYO Jazz play it and seeing such a young drummer play upswing so loud and confident is inspiring.

That’s a pretty insane brass section, never heard a band play Things to Come while playing that high at some parts

Trumpet section sounding wicked clean

Honestly this highlights how insane Roosevelt was for a high school to pull off what they did in 2019.

Watch the TJI band in 2015, I’d say they were even better
