I will tell you...Omar Thomas is making waves with his music for wind ensemble. His music is being programmed quite often. It is well deserved and he is offering the essence of culture that so many composers have used snippets of for over 100 years in their classical works
Now how on earth did this HS wind group beat out every recording of a college group I could find? Bravo to all involved, spectacular job!
listen to the Baylor Wind Ensemble at TMEA. That was an astounding performance. Vandegrift is stunning too though.
Do the research on the school and stuff, then you’ll realize why they are so good. They have 3 or 4 bands and a 400 piece marching band

Y'all deserve a medal! Congrats on making Midwest! Also that Saxophone soloist is incredible.
My boy Eric showed up ‼️ Professional in the making
OMG! Speechless. But how did you get a full (HS) Wind Ensemble to swing as tightly as a 17-piece big band???
Outstanding tone quality and blending for a high school band
I miss this so much 😭
Phenomenal...the style that it takes to perform African- American Gospel Music is tremendous and you all did this justice. It is appreciated!!
So incredible. This group has some serious time, it was so tight! I shed a tear :,)
Absolutely INCREDIBLE! Wow!
This is by far the best recording of the work. You outplay MSU in every possible way! Congratulations
Baylor is better IMO, but this is stunning for a HS. Audience was dead though.
This is Phenomenal!

You sounded amazing don't worry 😂
