Wonderful high school jazz, impressive they are jazz musicians in the mold. Hard to believe they are still in school.

[@chuckb9595]

Gotta love the great playing of Sean Jones and him letting us all know he's the star LCJO sub up their doing his own thing with no tie, shirt out and still kicking much butt up there lol.

[@mikekaupa9190]

Ryan Kisor for president.🎺

[@loninappleton]

[@wilmotfraser509]

[@illie2852]

I wish JLCO gave Abdias a solo

[@wforwadeed]

the first trombone's reaction at 49:35 is hilarious

[@djk3950]

just amazing

[@piesplays]

Elliot Mason is a beast I'm ngl

[@agnusize]

Que beleza!

[@Jake.Harlan]

these musicians have inspired me to quit playing drums

[@Jepie]

Yeah bro it crazy

[@ShadowHawk-pw6fe]

So real

[@duzon1]

Bravo!!!

[@AustinCasey]

I really love Ramp but why don't they bring in Jon-Erik Kellso to play on something like Black Beauty? Also that freshman from FLA is scary on Trumpet! 🔥

[@bones.18]

Osceola shoulda won it in my opinion

Was Wynton not present this year?

[@1syllables11]

yeah he was gone, we had a zoom call with him before we went since he wouldn’t be there

[@entity3054]

wait a second i hope i got this wrong, is this the result of just 2 years of playing?

[@sealeddeal2432]

Try 4-7 because of middle school. Some played before middle school aswell. For example Patrick Bartley started in 3rd grade, so when he was a senior in essentially Ellington that would be 10 years

[@JoãoJota-x1r]

Deus me livre !!! Quanta desafinação ! Falta muito estudo !

[@personperson9380]

Who’s out of tune?

[@chuckb9595]

That was hard to watch with the composition winner. He's a good writer but horrible conductor and stage presence!

[@NotExactlyRomeo]

Mighty big of you to trash on a 16-17 year old
