Love how the drummer brought it back after loosing his stick
AND elbowing that mic
Im convinced the drum player loosing his stick was planned he handled it so smoothly
He got a bit in trouble, but you see he managed it pretty well.
I'm really happy he dropped his stick. Because god damn he recovered so well.
DAMN that bari can tell a story!
so nice
Xander is an amazing player!
These kids are all spectacularly talented...
I felt so bad for the drummer though
Certain things make it easier
me
6:06 yes the demon in the backround. What a legend
He is thinking deeply about something...

I love seeing your comments on all these videos! Thank you so much!
@@dschooo I appreciate it!
@@roosterslime9430 HOW DID THE DRUMMER NOT GET ANYTHING??
@@jonathanwoo6507 Technically speaking, he and the other drummers got "Honorable Mention Drummers"
As a Seattle native who played in jazz bands, I'm not surprised to see Roosevelt playing. Them and Garfield high are jazz legends in the area.
The drum solo oml
He definitely dropped his stick on purpose
@@Snavels nicely recovered though. And that's coming from a drummer. Well done. Chick Webb drum breaks are not easily accomplished. Give the drummer his props.
@@Snavels I know. I was just being complimentary of him. That Chick Webb break is not easy and he kept that original tempo spot on. I just wish they had used guitar and not banjo. This is a late 30's chart. Banjo is not stylistically correct.
@@Snavels The chart was originally recorded in 1937. All the big bands had given up the banjo by then. Even Freddy Guy who played banjo with Duke Ellington originally during the Cotton Club era had given up the banjo by 1933-34. Fletcher Henderson had also given up the banjo in the 30's. Benny Goodman's Allan Reuss was completely on guitar by the Palomar Ballroom gig in 1935 that officially kicked off the Swing era. By the mid 30's only those within the traditional jazz renaissance of the mid 30's such as Eddie Condon were switching between guitar and banjo, and Eddie was playing a 4 string guitar.
Bro I need this on Spotify 😭😭
Tenor Solo was amazing
killer bari solo
Gotta love the clarinet solo and quartet. It the best one compared to every other school. They actually sound like clarinetists instead of saxophone players playing clarinet.
As a bari player, once i saw him going up to the mic i knew he was about to absolutely rip. Well done my friend, well done.
Tenor and bari got some sick solos
BRAVO, Young Folks!!!! Bari. Player is my FAV! "All the Soloists were Excellent... As Well as the Orchestra! KEEP JAZZ ALIVE... Thank you Conductor, Parents and Teachers!" :0)
That bari solo was insane
I’m a sax player but my god can we commend the Bass player
Elmo01 Miller amen
That clarinet quartet was *chef’s kiss *
God I loved the clarinet quartet
FANTASTIC! YOUNG PEOPLE PLAYING THIS GREAT MUSIC AS IT SHOULD BE PLAYED! IT WILL LIVE ON AND ON THROUGH THESE GREAT YOUNG MUSICIANS!
There is no way a type of music “should be played” but I agree, it’s sounds fantastic
@@jwaj I mean, each genre has its own fundamentals. You can’t just start doing a blues solo over Für Elise and still claim that you’re playing classical music.
@@jwajBig jazz band is played like this. Should implies how it is played.
Yeah what a band...Timing is impecable...Jam on!!!
that bari is still amazing even four years later
The 1 dislike is jealous of this band
Im absolutely shocked with these musicians. Out of this world!
So terrific!
literally so great
Amazing!
This is too good!!!
Absolutely delightful!
Outstanding indeed!!!!!
Fabulous, well done
Everything in this is so good and entertaining!
this is the best ofvthe best
Absolutely beyond words COOL!!!!! Love it!
Super impressive!
Happy to see these uploaded finally
I love this band! great players!
QUE COISA MARAVILHOSA .
SUBLIME.
Good upload
THIS HOW SUPER TALENTS PLAY WHEN THEY GET TOGETHER!
As a bari player i loved it
Fantastic playin' !! So fresh and vital !! I like the music auf the 1920s/30s very much, playing the music in Germany many times.
This is one of the best performances I’ve ever seen job well done
Orchestra di ragazzi ,stupendi sono bravissimi. Complimenti👏👏
Sensacional… 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
The Sri, clarinets,trombone and the drummer!!! Outta sight,the entire band.
NEM TUDO ESTÁ PERDIDO NO MUNDO.
ESSES JOVENS SÃO ILUMINADOS POR DEUS.
CURTINDO E EXCUTANDO ESSA OBRA PRIMA.
JAZZ MARAVILHOSO.
Ty
Job well done
like this too much
Let's go
would love a transcription of the killer tenor solo!
Yes
Bari solo ❤️🔥❤️🔥
1st trumpet looks lowkey like incrediboy (no hate )😂
I'd love it if my school even had a music band xd
Tenor sax is particularly good.
Damn that savveee
Roosevelt High School sweeps
Fabulous rhythm section! Also it's in Db - not the easiest of keys!
The drummer is a juicer
no dislikes. perfect
This made me regret playing the flute
Flute jazz exists!
Try out the piano! Idk if your teacher allows this but you could practice learning it after school or something like that using a school piano.
@@queenelizabeth8145 I know this comment is old but now I’m going to be a freshman in college and I will be taking piano lol :-)
@@hannahmichaels9992 this makes me so happy :D, I hope you have fun with piano and college!!!!!
@@queenelizabeth8145 thank you!! i plan on it haha
3:47 too nice
did that bari reference the bari solo from the tji in essentally elllington
Listen to Chick Webb' tune before
That’s a interesting trombone grip
I've heard stories of trombonists playing their trombones upside down because it sounds better apparantley
Search up Lawrence Brown
@@braydanduchene7983 I've been watching Lawrence Brown for a few years, and you just now made me realize how crazy his grip is
Go
6:27 the banjo player's face lol
bruh why does it look like its going at 2x speed.
I don't understand why you would do that to the performers. The upload should be as performed, not sped up 10%-15%.
Very disappointing😂
@@MrJodieh lol
ITS THE SAME DRUMMER FROM SOLID OLD MAN BEHIND HIM
Hehe the devious drummer looks so sad and lifeless without his drums
Fletcher would’ve ended him.
Zaje......
why was the boi waluigu drummer sitting out????????!!!!😢😢😢😢
Great drummer but this band has another drummer (sitting in the back here) who is even better!
Lamo, the drummer list his stick
Lost not list
List not lost
@@m3vu ok my bad
Hm
who knew xqc could play drums like that
Tom and jerry stuff
Yes
