    The quoting of The Flintstones at 3:07 in the alto sax solo just butters my egg roll

    It's so cool to see the other kids digging their band mates solos, and just digging the groove. The bass & guitar seem so locked in!

      not entirely sure, but i think they perform when the band needs more parts covered (vocals, aux perc., more winds, etc.)

      It’s arranged for small big band format. Only about 2 parts per instrument. Also what spooky boi wrote.

    • @roosterslime9430
      @roosterslime9430 4 года назад +2

      ApplePie IS GUD This band is actually bigger that what is currently on stage (they have more trombones, saxophonists, etc.) Unfortunately, Ellington music is restricted to a certain number of parts, and putting two people on a part would probably overpower the band’s balance. Because the director wants everybody to have a chance to play, he is saving those people to switch out with those on stage already for a different song so everybody has a chance to play.

    • @PuddingPepzi
      @PuddingPepzi Год назад

      My band competed to enter the Ellington competition, we had to play 1 of each part. So I'm assuming it's the same when peforming
