Even though you didn't place this was definitely the most fun band to listen to... Great alto feature!

[@landonkelly8953]

This was definitely my favorite band this year because they were all in perfect sync with each other and were all just so happy the whole time.

[@gbarthg]

Thanks for reminding us what a great composer Ellington was. The pianist here does a very fine job.

[@loninappleton]

Thank you for the playlist and the swinging arrangement of Royal Garden Blues. Looking forward to 2024.

[@AndreaMcNeely220]

This band is so good -- excellent musicianship and playing with so much passion that I don't understand why they didn't at least place.

[@tomwhly]

Agoura high denied me graduation with my class mates because I was struggling with apergers. This was not right. They knew I had problems since kindergarten. They knew!!! LVSD did nothing to help me after 2nd grade...
