[@maximilianoibarra3507]

the drummer should have started playing while the director was talking

[@clayboyparty2807]

Legitimately thought that’s what they were going to do

[@CaptixTheSecond]

Baracus 797 same lol

[@ginnakv4929]

ah yes

[@DavidGonzalez-ks6dd]

Good idea

[@Blacktherivertv]

ahahahaah

[@Raizo_B.]

Imagine how bad that trombone soloist must have felt when everyone did a half-assed clap for his solo while the saxophone basically got a standing ovation. His solo was really good! I don't understand people.

[@jordanwilliamson905]

Could be that it was mostly the girl’s friends?

[@BroPros4]

people just seem to really overhype the saxophone. DOnt get me wrong its a good instrument, all of them are. It just seems to get more love than most others

[@bando3582]

Andrés ik but the drummer would at least look at the music I’ve seen the John Watson arrangement and i know it doesn’t go like that

[@levs.2533]

Andrés it’s at least three or four lines of the ride bell, snare, bass, and Tom, not like 5 measures

[@DeputyParmi]

Justice for the trombone soloist, he played a really great solo and he got a little clap and the sax soloist got a big applause when they both had good solos. Overall the whole band did really great for being in highschool.

[@CC-tw6su]

Omg, take a chill pill, now everyone appears to be a jazz master because they saw whiplash 2 times. Most of you dream about being half as good as the drummer from this video, just a reminder, it is a JAZZ HIGHSCHOOL BAND AND THEY FREAKING KILLED IT!! Stop being so all high and mighty and enjoy the effort they put into their music.

[@oskarcollison1801]

Exactly!!!! Music is the finest language known to man and these 15-18 year olds are almost fluent yet these people think they’re high and mighty because they saw whiplash and la la land it’s ridiculous

[@Fl_Broccodile]

As a musician for more than 7 years I think they bit off more than they could chew. I'm not saying they played like crap but it wasn't very good in my opinion. The drums were aggressively loud and the sax solo did not fit the mood of the song. Other than that I though it was good.

[@pannacottafugo7777]

@@Fl_Broccodile i fully agree

[@pinkjay1015]

I agree with you, but who are you arguing with, I havnt seen anyone say they sounded bad yet

Ambitious song especially for a high school. It's great seeing students really putting themselves in a position to improve and give a challenging piece their all.
