You don't understand how much I love this channel

Ahhh, I'm so HAPPY to hear that!

Same

[@nikki_multimusician]

REALLLL

[@Skelly_Cat]

Hehe I actually go to that school now and am in both bands! To clarify, Jazz band is a lot more fun but it starts at 7 am, and the music is harder. Concert band is kind of boring unless you're doing a march and have a fun bass part.
Keep up the good playing and remember to practice!

[@SchoolBandOrchestra]

I'm a big fan of the jazz band too, but many students only have Concert Band, so I try to choose the most enjoyable music and have as much fun in those classes as possible. All music is awesome! (Including orchestra!) 🎉

[@thepinkelephant2520]

Same!! My Jazz Band’s also a zero period so 7 am, too! I’m in Concert Band as well but it’s the intermediate band.

[@Skelly_Cat]

@@thepinkelephant2520 SAME!!!

[@Lowgraphicsdeer]

As a bass player I feel disappointed that concert band bass was not included ( it is rare though )

[@_qwerty_3545]

It’s crazy because in my school I can hear the trombones in jazz way more than I can hear them in concert. Keeping mind there’s one trombone in jazz and he’s also in concert so idk how he gets quieter

[@DarkDish0]

In my school the trombones also go crazy in jazz band but in concert band they are quiet

[@alex_exists]

Well in my band it's because out band director tells us we're "blasty" when we play the tiniest bit loud in concert band.

This guy seriously said concert F
for tuning a jazz band 💀

[@SchoolBandOrchestra]

Hi mymokol4399 - I see we have a jazz pedagogy expert here - thanks for the comment! Now that I think of it, I always use Concert Bb and Concert A (for saxes) in jazz band, but for this video it worked to have both ensembles play the same tubing note. 😊

[@mymo_in_Bb]

@@SchoolBandOrchestra
Of course! I see that it was better to use the same note, even if it's not accurate.
Also, I'm curious: Concert A for the saxes? Why is that? (I'm genuinely curious.) We always use concert Bb for all the instruments except flutes, who use a concert A. Why would saxes, for whom concert Bb is a C and a G, use a concert A?

[@alejandrogutierrez1297]

@@mymo_in_BbConcert A for tenor saxes is B, B is a stable note for the middle octave and top octave. Concert Bb, C for tenors is unstable for new players for that top octave C, I personally tune to both Concert Bb and A, I prefer A concert because it’s really stable.
Same Can be said for altos and Bari, Concert A, F sharp for Altos and Bari is the most stable note for these horns for both octaves.

[@mymo_in_Bb]

@@alejandrogutierrez1297 I kinda don't get why B and F# would be more stable than C and G, I play tenor and bari and certainly never noticed that these notes would be more stable, quite the opposite (this is a genuine question by the way)

Did I hear the thunderer for a second or am I just old and hear Sousa a lot in my highschool years 👀
(Probably not, I just want to flex that we played the thunderer at my middle school concert and played stars and stripes forever in our show ‼️‼️)

[@SchoolBandOrchestra]

Practically every year the kids love it!

[@juliaelkin1980]

this is Terrifyingly accurate lol

[@oldmanjoel1946]

I think part of the reason i like jazz band so much more than concert band is because my parts are actually technical and not the same note on quarters changing every four measures. (tenor sax here)

[@ChrisF_1982]

Tenor parts were horrendously boring for me in high school. I doubt that has changed in 23 years.

It was from "(not) Alone" by Randall Standridge. Is it similar to, or the same as the solo in "Fragile"?
