@@BobLovesYou24 Yeah it sounded unorganized (in my opinion) but it definitely still was pretty well and some pretty good parts, if he added some more variation and smoothed the parts that would probably help
Mans carried the performance! The pianist, bassist, and and sax soloist were also really impressive, but you can tell without the drummer it’d be a ship without a helm.
i played in big band for years, and trust me if drummer not playing loud you cant hear yourself there. brass instrument is very loud especially on stage
This video proves that a good enough drummer can make even the most average band sound awesome, and make an awesome band sound perfect. That drummer is the whole reason I keep coming back and watching this performance. He sounds so good that it totally distracted me from the fact that there is an out of tune trombone in the trombone section.
I’ma play Second Bassist Devil’s Advocate for a sec. I’m probably guessing one of them also possibly play the upright bass but it wasn’t needed for the song
Wow. This is so good! Our high school had its jazz ensemble cancelled and it’s so great to read what the director says in the comments! Seems like a great guys and teacher!
Wow! What an amazing performance. Shoutout to Michael McNamara for whipping these kids into shape. The kid on bass did really well. A few flubbed notes here and there, and he did screw up his tempo a few times, but overall very accurate playing.
The whole band is awesome, but that drummer is something else. If you look closely at the kit @6.44, the crash cymbal stand gives serious consideration to falling over. Just like the movie :)
Thanks! I am the new band director here. The conductor from the video is actually an orchestra director and did an amazing job building this program. We are still cooking, check out our rendition of "Groove Merchant." th-cam.com/video/ZN6kLsFsSL8/w-d-xo.html
@@andrewnguyen4382 Jesus fucking Chris I didn't know they let retards into Schaffer, you mean to tell me you cannot read tempo? Can you even read music? What's that?
Wow there's a lot of critics here. I thought it was really good! I have no criticisms but only an applause 👌! They're are just high school students with a lot of talent that I wish I had an ounce of. Thanks for the post. H from H-Town!
This is amazing!!! All of the students did well!!! The teacher should be proud of himself and his students. To be so young with these skills is amazing. Great job young people!!!!
school should probably invest in WAAAAAYYYY better cymbals! instead of using a 12 crash, ad a 16 inch crash as ride! Props to drummer for keeping up and layin gdown the groove :)
It would help but also its not the arrow its the indian (a drummer can make a crappy old travel set sound good if he is a good drummer playing a heavy groove) Ex: this drummer
You are most likely hearing the flat 9 in the first chord and the minor 6 in the last chord. They are pretty ugly, but that's what's in the score. It was off putting to me too when we rehearsed it. The C chord sets up the tonality and the flat 9 is off-putting in a tonic chord context...usually it functions as a setup for tonic rather than tonic itself, but jazz harmony being the ambiguous language it sometimes is... If you're interested, the chords are C7b9 Db6 C7b9 and Bbm6 in the intro.
Michael McNamara i know that this comment is old, but m6 chords don't contain a minor sixth. they have a minor third and a major sixth, which is a very consonant sound. chords that do have a minor sixth interval are usually called by the enharmonic augmented fifth, making it a Bbm+ not a Bbm6
I disagree. Yes, he was absolutely amazing, honestly some of the best drumming for a high school I've ever seen, but the woodwinds sounded amazing aswell. The two bassists made no sense, but it still sounded great. All of it.
@@_burnt_toast recently I’ve started to notice a trend in saxaphone parts being either just them playing in some parts or a duet with a alto and a baritone sax, am I the only one who has been seeing that or am I crazy?

There's a trombone out of tune, and I'm not saying this as a Whiplash joke, there's actually one trombone out of tune
Yeah i heard it too
One of the guitar players is a little sus too

That's a nice one man😂😂

it's clearly prince harry
Really tight for a high school band, better than some college ensembles I’ve seen. That drummer was head and shoulders above the rest though, wow.
Mans carried the performance!

No, the alto player absolutely smashed it. They're definitely at LEAST equal.
as they so often are..lol
do you play the drums? @@pheonixwrath951
@bltelysian yea doesn't really make sense
Holy shit the drum breakdown section man. Mind blown. My guy nailed it
Not quite my tempo
I love how the drums are louder than the band lol
Actually probably something teacher/conductor should've adressed?
Just the way I like it
i played in big band for years, and trust me if drummer not playing loud you cant hear yourself there. brass instrument is very loud especially on stage
It fits the theme of the song, the drums are meant to be the main part of the song
I think they are just using the wrong type of cymbals they sound way too bright for jazz

is he really out of tune or are you just seeing if he can tell the difference
whiplash reference for anyone who sees this
Just about to put this, r/beatmetoit
@@memelord417Nah its really out of tune lmfao
What if that was the most clever reference ever
I love how when the soloist plays his part in 2:11. You can see the people behind him smiling as he performs
Getting whiplash vibes from certain areas in this piece, also that sax solo was dope
cuz this piece is on whiplash
any kid who knows this song knows it from whiplash
@@asger7442 well the arrangement is from Whiplash, but the actual tune Caravan is an old jazz standard
@@DanisaurrrIt's in whiplash.
It's not from whiplash per se, but, outside of the jazz world, it popularized it.@@Danisaurrr
If you ever feel useless, just remember there’s that second bassist.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I’ma play Second Bassist Devil’s Advocate for a sec. I’m probably guessing one of them also possibly play the upright bass but it wasn’t needed for the song
My high school jazz band has two pianists and two guitar players. The trumpet section has 6 people. I’m the only trombonist.
@@trippinonfebreeze7198 fellow jazz band player (bass) here, please lend us some trumpets ;-;

Props to every kid who plays in high school jazz band. We see you
The second bassist looks absolutely entranced by the sax solo😂
To be fair, I am too.
2:22 That bassist s like "Can i please go back to my computer now?"
Nah man he’s just annoyed cause he’s not playing anything
Actually incredible for a high school jazz band
Thank you!

someone get that amazing drummer a better ride!
Yes pleaseee
You can tell he didnt want to spend much time on it so he tried to get off it as much as possibld
@@thebluelobsterking8695 too much cymbals in my opinion, the kit is not that great either...

I like to make myself think that the out of tune trombone player is doing it on purpose
Pretty good for high school arrangement. Those guitarist didn't know what chords to use though. Or just really out of tune.

i dont think anyone was expecting such a professional answer
It sounds good
I try. Wanted to acknowledge the criticism. It's warranted, but we played it the way it was scored. The arranger must have had his reasons...
Michael McNamara i know that this comment is old, but m6 chords don't contain a minor sixth. they have a minor third and a major sixth, which is a very consonant sound. chords that do have a minor sixth interval are usually called by the enharmonic augmented fifth, making it a Bbm+ not a Bbm6
Damn it Conley got the part
the drums are great, the solos are cool, props to you all, good job
Great band but... TRUMPETS GET YOUR HORNS UP!
Told them that ALL THE TIME. I hope they see this...
Ehh. They are playing into their music stands most of the time. The guy on the left ( 2nd? - 2,1,3,4,5 ) was the best at it.
what i say all the time :/
The horn must at least be above the chest level, but cannot be faced too high
That drummer is something else man...

They were all GREAT! Great sound!

Love seeing these kids into this music ❤
sax and drummer killed it jesus christ
This is pretty good! Though I would say that they need better cymbals. Like literally everything is amazing accept those cymbals.
I can't express how much i love this
What grade was this drummer in when he played it and where is he now!?!?!?
Excellent solos oh my excellent rhythm section
The school’s budget: let’s get this big ass theatre with curtains and stuff. (Gets Yamaha keyboard instead of actual piano)
Our school is lucky enough to have a hand piano, but our stage is a bit smaller.

I can’t stop watching this
Bless all you kids. Thank you
Well look at that, Johnny Utah is on the drums this time

love that bass
