    I'm the Bass Player from this band! I am now a Music Teacher! I loved this experience and seeing that everyone enjoyed it makes my heart full! I love showing my students this video as a way to inspire and show them where music can take you.

    This is probably my favorite version that i've heard of this song. Good tempo, not rushed; wonderful musicians, and most of all this song captures the sort of "chip on the shoulder" attitude to me.

    Edmonds is a city not too far from my high school and when our school goes to the local festivals Edmonds always comes with the best performance. That alto player just graduated this year and got a full ride scholarship. I wanna move there. Everyone there is insanily talent.

    Awesome stuff. Okay, I'm coming to this five years late, but I'm thankful that Edmunds school district has a program that produces such find musicians. Music is so important and these kids are getting, at least those still enrolled in the program, a wonderful education. I'm willing to bet that they're also at the top of their class in academics, as well. But, I'm just hearing great musicians playing a great song. The Duke would have been proud of them.

    High school ?!?!
    Edit: two people have now replied that the answer is in the title. I guess I need to clarify. I'll copy and paste the comment I made a year ago after the first such reply:
    I see how my commment looked like I was asking which high school. I was really just exclaiming "This is a high school band? Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
    I did include two exclamation marks in my original "high school ?!?!", but I realize that wasn't clear enough.
