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

This is high school!? How is that even possible? 😁 This is even beyond college level. I have a degree in music so I know. This is even beyond average professional. 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 seeing other female guitarists in hs bands. really makes me want to practice more lol

That Clarinet solo gives me the goosbumps every time I listen to it. These kids got the swing man! Very inspiring.

That lead alto is destroying

The groove and the sound is so righteous. These youngsters worked so hard to be this good. Props to their teacher for guiding them to this result.

Are the solos improvised/written by the students? If it is, that's insane. Not only are they incredible performers, they can improvise like pros

I'm nothing short of in love with this band, especially their fantastic reed section. By far my favorite band to listen to from EE 2016.

one of the best high school bands I have ever heard. great solos, keep swinging!

haha @ 3:23 that asian kids face during the trumpet solo looks like hes thinking, "Fuck yeah, my man throwing it down".

That's a high school jazz band?!!? Every one of those kids is amazing! They play like seasoned professionals and I am one so I should know.

Music needs to be in every school. keep it accessible. Teach our children well.

They’re definitely doing this with excitement and so much application, hard to find young people so talented nowadays with all this shit music, amazing.

I wish I can give these fantastic musicians a million likes 💙

I'm a bari sax player in my college pep band and I always enjoy watching musicians who play with passion and I enjoyed watching the tall blonde play. she brought plenty of energy to her playing

Actually amazing, especially lead alto on Rockabye River.

This music looks so fun to play!!!!! The saxophonist goes from playing so smooth to so rockin'.

omg I had to get a sweater on! I had the absolute CHILLS! These kids are amazing!!!

I have been waiting for this group for a year ever since I heard them in 2015 at ee

They are playing this like its music they hear it everyday on their top ten on the radio! Great in how they recaptured the feel for this music. Somebody is sure living well in Wisconsin!

10 years old and a sax player. difficult now but if I could possibly play like that soon enough than i will keep practicing

Great band - good book. Heard them many many years ago, certainly still a pleasure.

Amazing

Bravo !!!!! Standing ovation !

Thanks guys you are the bomb

My god. The talent.

Foot stompin, finger snappin music, gotta love it. Bring it back? It never really left. They just don't want to promote it. Its all about $$$$$.

All the saxes killed it😍😍😍

nicely played , LOVED it!!

Non ho parole, sono semplicemente commosso per tanta bravura, bellezza ed entusiasmo di questi ragazzi: chapeau !!

this is america's big cultural legacy to the world, african american jazz.

What a special collection of talent. Can’t imagine how much fun it would be to be in that band. Any of these kids in NY or some highly touted schools?

Gawd I love this school. It is like the Curtis of jazz, if you know what I mean.

Great!

Wow,my kinda music, The Duke & Mary Lou would be proud

9:36 onwards sounds like something Lisa or Bleeding Gums Murphy would play on a lonely night in Springfield... :-)

Espero verlos y escucharlos en directo en alguna ocasión. Falta el vídeo de este año 2017. ¿cuándo viene a México?

Well, both Benny and Smack would have loved this madly, I can assure you.

I am impressed by the band's playing. They are really playing with great swinging and showing respect for the jazz tradition. Duke Ellington must be giving an applause beyond the grave. A big up to the student band. Theo Kgapola {Benoni, Gauteng ; S. A. 1501}😂

there should be a Jazz orchestra for Saint Cloud Minnesota Apollo and Tech high schools!

ive been wondering how they all memorize all this music because i never seen them really ever use their stands unless im missing something, incredible memorization.

That's neat

Trumpet solo spot on!

Love the fact that these youngsters appreciate the masters. We need to remember and acknowledge what went before. I hope, however, that they don't get trapped in the past, or fail to "grow" the music. What should this great music sound like now? I already know how it sounded in the last century.

Actually... it takes a lot of growth to play this music as wonderfully as they do! Mind you I grew up on the Beatles and Hendrix. This is music! Interestingly, I do not like it as much when older musicians play it.
