Its absolut amazing. Why do I like this so mutch better then every orchestra I have heard before playing this music. Amazing sax solos. How the trumpet trombone section used the mute to create that sound during the clarinet amazing solo playing. I loved the crazy trombone solo and how it got started with some kind of boost from the orchestra. Fantastic
Dear lord. The tone... the technique. High Schoolers? WOW. Blown away... and I am a high school jazz band director. Gorgeous work, everyone. Keep working!
Jesus. I took part in EE in 2008, almost 10 years ago. I can't believe the talent these high school students are still dishing out to this very day. Amazing job.
I'm a bari sax player in my college pep band and I always enjoy watching musicians who play with passion and I enjoyed watching the tall blonde play. she brought plenty of energy to her playing
This is high school!? How is that even possible? 😁 This is even beyond college level. I have a degree in music so I know. This is even beyond average professional. Most kids don’t have the time, energy, or focus to put into musicianship at the high school level to play this well. Impressive! - oh, and Brianna it’s quite cute. That’s quite the energy she’s got! Wish I played sax that well in high school!!
They are playing this like its music they hear it everyday on their top ten on the radio! Great in how they recaptured the feel for this music. Somebody is sure living well in Wisconsin!
They’re definitely doing this with excitement and so much application, hard to find young people so talented nowadays with all this shit music, amazing.

These young men and women are excellent musicians, I know how dedicated you have to be to play their instruments as well as they do. Congratulations on your success and I will be waiting for more music.
Just a question, what are these VERT talented young people doing now? I sincerely hope they are all playing. I would love for them to put the band together again and go on tour...I would pay just to see this kind of music again. LOVE it!!!!!
Bassists from 2016, 2018, and 2019 at EE. I'm currently working on getting my degree in music education with a minor in jazz studies! I love seeing the younger BMJO groups perform.
I am impressed by the band's playing. They are really playing with great swinging and showing respect for the jazz tradition. Duke Ellington must be giving an applause beyond the grave. A big up to the student band. Theo Kgapola {Benoni, Gauteng ; S. A. 1501}😂
I love it when young people are so good in traditional Jazz.

We're going to keep it alive
The phrase "traditional jazz" makes me wish I could detonate my own head.
Dear lord. The tone... the technique. High Schoolers? WOW. Blown away... and I am a high school jazz band director. Gorgeous work, everyone. Keep working!
I started playing at the start of school. when i got my instrument, bass clarinet, i couldn’t even play an open G
Et oo.
5 years, you still a director? Looking at pursuing this as a career might as well ask lol
@@fitchyyboiI’m not the director but I go to a school nearby to them, Chris Behrens is still a director there
That sax to clarinet transition though
This is one of the most badass things ive ever watched. I wouldve literally screamed if i was apart of that audience
How can a high school band sound so good. They are amazing for their age excellent talent boys and girls. well done
Well it is Essentially Ellington so this is the best of the best

The groove and the sound is so righteous. These youngsters worked so hard to be this good. Props to their teacher for guiding them to this result.
Does anyone notice how the lead trumpet jumps back to the riser after his solo in down south camp meeting?
Could have gone very badly
@@williamkao5381 at least it didn't
I destroyed my first trumpet trying a move like that!
Music needs to be in every school. keep it accessible. Teach our children well.
I'm nothing short of in love with this band, especially their fantastic reed section. By far my favorite band to listen to from EE 2016.
love seeing other female guitarists in hs bands. really makes me want to practice more lol
The alto players tone is unreal!!!
Are the solos improvised/written by the students? If it is, that's insane. Not only are they incredible performers, they can improvise like pros
They are :)
one of the best high school bands I have ever heard. great solos, keep swinging!
I wish I can give these fantastic musicians a million likes 💙
❤the tone and texture of the play. Motif feels so clear. ❤blended comping.
This music looks so fun to play!!!!! The saxophonist goes from playing so smooth to so rockin'.
I'm a bari sax player in my college pep band and I always enjoy watching musicians who play with passion and I enjoyed watching the tall blonde play. she brought plenty of energy to her playing
That lead alto is destroying

That's a high school jazz band?!!? Every one of those kids is amazing! They play like seasoned professionals and I am one so I should know.
They are playing this like its music they hear it everyday on their top ten on the radio! Great in how they recaptured the feel for this music. Somebody is sure living well in Wisconsin!
Actually amazing, especially lead alto on Rockabye River.
omg I had to get a sweater on! I had the absolute CHILLS! These kids are amazing!!!
gives this old guy a lot of joy seeing talented young people keeping this wonderful music alive
They’re definitely doing this with excitement and so much application, hard to find young people so talented nowadays with all this shit music, amazing.
Great stuff, my dad would have been blown away!

I have been waiting for this group for a year ever since I heard them in 2015 at ee
That Clarinet solo gives me the goosbumps every time I listen to it. These kids got the swing man! Very inspiring.
What a fantastic Band!! Thank you for your wonderful playing !!
Mein Herz lacht! So bezaubernd, alle machen sooooo toll Musik. Die Mädels und Jungs gleichermaßen. Mit Grüßen Saxophonistin Mercedes aus Berlin.
haha @ 3:23 that asian kids face during the trumpet solo looks like hes thinking, "Fuck yeah, my man throwing it down".
Brings back memories playing in the Jazz Ensemble at my Junior High in Oakdale, New York, way back in 1971-1973.
I LOVE THIS PREFORMANCE
What can I say. Simply awesome
I love that the trumpet soloist in Rockabye River quoted Things To Come, which is a chart my high school band has recently been playing
These young men and women are excellent musicians, I know how dedicated you have to be to play their instruments as well as they do. Congratulations on your success and I will be waiting for more music.
9:57 gave me goosebumps
Simply Amazing
wow this is just fantastic :)
Anime
So much energy , so much Talents !
10 years old and a sax player. difficult now but if I could possibly play like that soon enough than i will keep practicing
It’s great you’re starting this early, keep at no matter what my man
Keep dreaming and keep working on the fundamentals every day.
Stunning! Wow! Very well done .THANK YOU FOR THIS TREAT!
My god. The talent.
What a wonderfully tight orchestra!
The Duke will be applauding the Orchestra from his grave. Well done from the UK.
All the saxes killed it😍😍😍
Fantastic Rhytmsection!! and solos!
Even so many years later and so much more experience playing, these cats really do swing
Bravo !!!!! Standing ovation !
high school students sounding like professional musicians!
This has got to be a collection of musicians from different high schools. No way they are from the same school. Very good. Sounds professional
Sorry all from the same school & most are Sophomores.
@@number-1-Saxmanno way only sophomore
Two freshman in the rhythm section, freshman trombone player too. Most were Sophomores this year. @@Andiboy-ut2ro
Great band - good book. Heard them many many years ago, certainly still a pleasure.
I tip my hat- from a fellow HS big band sax player. Excellent playing
Non ho parole, sono semplicemente commosso per tanta bravura, bellezza ed entusiasmo di questi ragazzi: chapeau !!
Wow, what an amazing group!! sounds great!!
Loved this , especially the young lady on alto, she was swingin!!
Greetings to all and thank you for your great, absolutely terrific and thoroughly enjoyable performance.
Not to take anything away from the guys, but dang, the ladies in this band were simply amazing!
Good job Beloit!!!!
These kids are going somewhere. Fantastic!
Amazing
nicely played , LOVED it!!
As a Jazz Studies major in college and a professional player, nice job. Bravo!
Foot stompin, finger snappin music, gotta love it. Bring it back? It never really left. They just don't want to promote it. Its all about $$$$$.
That clarinet......that made my heart stop
:’) thank you
I'm telling ya, Kids today know nothi .. what?!
This is Flawless. Big Band Fan here.
Thanks guys you are the bomb
whole time is worth watching for winston's speech alone
So cool!
I liked the trumpet solo, but USE THE MICCCCCCC
As a sound engineer focused on Jazz ensembles, i feel the pain...
BRILLIANT !!!
Well done beautifull boys & girls , i enjoyed
Excellent orchestre

a few of them went to school for music and/or still play ! :) some of them still come back to bmhs and watch our current jazz band

What a special collection of talent. Can’t imagine how much fun it would be to be in that band. Any of these kids in NY or some highly touted schools?
Wow,my kinda music, The Duke & Mary Lou would be proud
9:36 onwards sounds like something Lisa or Bleeding Gums Murphy would play on a lonely night in Springfield... :-)
this is america's big cultural legacy to the world, african american jazz.
Gawd I love this school. It is like the Curtis of jazz, if you know what I mean.
That's neat
Trumpet solo spot on!
I am impressed by the band's playing. They are really playing with great swinging and showing respect for the jazz tradition. Duke Ellington must be giving an applause beyond the grave. A big up to the student band.
