Gotta love the great playing of Sean Jones and him letting us all know he's the star LCJO sub up their doing his own thing with no tie, shirt out and still kicking much butt up there lol.
I really love Ramp but why don't they bring in Jon-Erik Kellso to play on something like Black Beauty? Also that freshman from FLA is scary on Trumpet! 🔥
Try 4-7 because of middle school. Some played before middle school aswell. For example Patrick Bartley started in 3rd grade, so when he was a senior in essentially Ellington that would be 10 years

Gratitude for collecting all the performances. Subscribed and I return often.
Wonderful high school jazz, impressive they are jazz musicians in the mold. Hard to believe they are still in school.
Gotta love the great playing of Sean Jones and him letting us all know he's the star LCJO sub up their doing his own thing with no tie, shirt out and still kicking much butt up there lol.
Jazz talent in the making!🎉🎉🎉
Ryan Kisor for president.🎺
these musicians have inspired me to quit playing drums
Yeah bro it crazy
So real
just amazing
Its getting beater form year to year 😍
FRRRR
the first trombone's reaction at 49:35 is hilarious
I wish JLCO gave Abdias a solo
Elliot Mason is a beast I'm ngl
Que beleza!
I really love Ramp but why don't they bring in Jon-Erik Kellso to play on something like Black Beauty? Also that freshman from FLA is scary on Trumpet! 🔥
Bravo!!!
Was Wynton not present this year?
yeah he was gone, we had a zoom call with him before we went since he wouldn’t be there
Osceola shoulda won it in my opinion
18:24
wait a second
i hope i got this wrong, is this the result of just 2 years of playing?
Try 4-7 because of middle school. Some played before middle school aswell. For example Patrick Bartley started in 3rd grade, so when he was a senior in essentially Ellington that would be 10 years
Deus me livre !!! Quanta desafinação ! Falta muito estudo !
Who’s out of tune?
That was hard to watch with the composition winner. He's a good writer but horrible conductor and stage presence!
Mighty big of you to trash on a 16-17 year old
