Clarinet solo was a tad early but he caught on. Overall it was awesome.

Very delicate where necessary, but surprisingly full loud sections for such a small ensemble. Good horn section, very nice clarinet sound, especially soloists. Overall good blend and accuracy- fantastic performance.

This ensemble is so well prepared; very tight performance! The clarinet section as a whole is really hitting the accents and the jazz phrasing, but the soloists weren't giving us enough (clarinet guy got nervous). I heard an alto sax do a bit, and the brass are great!

Great ensemble, except the horn rips at 5:25 were weak.

Chops!

Excellent performance, but the clarinet solo lacks the jazziness that American Bands have... Very smooth but too timid in my opinion.

Chris Montoya that’s quite the generalisation about American bands. Although positive indeed it’s highly inaccurate
