    They have room to grow, but they are at least working ! Let’s support them in their efforts

      Facts they do have room but they must (and I mean that with the highest urgency) utilize fundamentals at least 30 minutes before rehearsal start and at home for no less than an hour a day

      Agree I know folk will bash them, but they are kids. Don’t break their ego

    I wouldn't have them *Krank , until Tone and Fundamentals were there.

    They shouldn't have put this out there, they should have just kept practicing and came out at their first battle

    All the way in 2024. Pre Katrina, John F Kennedy in New Orleans is still the model to emulate.

      I wish I knew. He knew them kids was not ready but proceeded to put them out there. The man is diabolical.

    They don’t need to participate in battles. They got some work to do. Nicholas, it’s going to get worse before it gets better.

    I really hope this is a joke. If it’s not it’s going to be a long summer for these kids. I think they need to sit out this year and work on themselves. But I blame the directors for putting out this Bs.

      I wish this was a joke and the rest of the experienced players was behind the camera

    1. They are kids , so let’s not break their ego.
    2. The director and I went to undergrad together. Good guy, need some things to work in terms of directing an ensemble.Now the ugly….
    3. These kids are not producing characteristic sounds of their
    4. It’s not really dope footage, but ok…
    5. 1st song….tempo not in tact. Trombone hella flat (fundamentals). I agree the percussion too damn loud. Why???
    6. Just you play soft, it does not mean you play weak. They air will always be fast
    7. Again, tempo issues.
    8. Director, you dont have to clap the entire song.
    9. Trumpets aren’t slaw, they just may not be there mechanically and fundamentally.
    10. Disagree you don’t build endurance by “pushing” folk can’t throw buzz words with no context.
    11. Umm this is a rehearsal so I’m not expecting to hear X band.
    12. “Open up” can mean a lot of things….these kids need private lessons so they can have command over their instrument.
    13. That trumpet that squeaked a high note….again poor fundamentals….
    14. Seems like the sections they are fighting against each other.

      My rebuttal:
      #1 why must we sugar coat high school students. Let's normalize telling the raw truth in its entirety so they can get better.
      #6 air is not always fast. The slower the air the lower you play the faster the air the higher you play.
      #10 you most definitely build endurance by pushing yourself. Your face is full of muscles and you must work them i.e tear the muscle fibers down so that new muscles fibers are created stronger hence giving you more strength to endure the intensity that is needed.
      #11 rehearsal???? If it was recorded it was a performance. This was meant to be put on social media so rehearsal turned into a performance. "You stay ready so you don't have to get ready"
      #12 open up means to push more air into the horn and add more intensity to the sound. Very plain in our style of playing. Most people can't afford private lessons so personal practice on the material that is taught will build you.
      We can't make or create excuses we must create results.
