      Its absolut amazing. Why do I like this so mutch better then every orchestra I have heard before playing this music. Amazing sax solos. How the trumpet trombone section used the mute to create that sound during the clarinet amazing solo playing. I loved the crazy trombone solo and how it got started with some kind of boost from the orchestra. Fantastic

Most kids don’t have the time, energy, or focus to put into musicianship at the high school level to play this well. Impressive! - oh, and Brianna it’s quite cute. That’s quite the energy she’s got! Wish I played sax that well in high school!!

    Love the fact that these youngsters appreciate the masters. We need to remember and acknowledge what went before.
