Ladies must love that bongo player 😂

I played with Xavier in the FMEA 2024 state jazz band. Yes, he is that good haha. Can’t wait to hear what crazy things he does beyond high school

I got to watch you guys this year! I was blown away by Xavier. Amazing job to both of you!

Thought for a minute I was listening to Mongo Santamaria, or Chano Pozo..... great sounding band. Wonderful to hear the vibe of Johnny "Rabbit" Hodges and Benny Carter in 2023...

Dynamics were solid! a true performance Osceola, Well deserved win

lead trumpet a super super super senior

I was looking for this comment. That kid has absolutely incredible studio sound. if it's not w JLCO it will be with another very intense studio band. Guy has a serious life and career in front of him.

I met and heard Nathaniel on the road with JLCO last month - he’s a very fine young man and an exceptionally talented and motivated trumpet player! He wasn’t subbing, but sitting in with the section with Wynton, Ryan, Kenny, and Marcus handing off parts to him from time to time.

Awesome 👌

Thanks for posting! Do you know where I could find the awards ceremony?

@@calintt oh wow, then i guess they have gone(couldn’t find a video but I’d love to see it). My fault, still the culture around this area(Clark County) promotes music programs with as little competition as possible in order to make it as fun as possible. While I’m all for it being fun, the success of the bands are a little more important that only making it fun

I know it’s tough to love what you love bc peers may not share that same passion. But keep focusing on yourself and searching for and surrounding yourself with people who love this music as much as you do. Again, it’s tough because you are in an environment where people don’t care and may even put you down for loving this music. But it will allow you to go miles because at the end of the day, high school nor a competition decides whether you love to play or not. Rooting for you Alejandro 🙏

Sounds like something you'd hear at the Gamorrah.
