[@elisullivan7392]

Let's go Roosevelt! And that solo was awesome Taiyo! Let's play together sometime this summer.

That taiyo dud3 is just insane.... At that age.... I've been playing for 15 years and I play nothing like THAT. getting major James Carter vibes

[@wildtfisher6273]

That sax improve is impressive!

[@TheWeavingBagel]

Thanks. Unfortunately its too late for me to join jazz at Roosevelt but this is beautiful.

[@kevinhornbuckle]

All the solos are very good. I especially enjoyed the trombone solo on the first song.

[@meowtrick]

being a jazz director means cuing in the band by hitting a little jig

[@loganignatenko4319]

How much of your soloing was thought out vs improvised Taiyo? Amazing playing!

[@curtislindsey5548]

how can I sound like that first sax 😭

[@shernandez300]

as much as practicing obviously is the most important thing, a big component to that sound is the Conn New Wonder II horn he's playing. I have a very similar horn to that and I get a similar sound!

[@hincapiej4]

@@shernandez300 his horn has nothing to do with it. Curtis, work on your long tones and overtones, listen as much as you can.

Do any of the sax section have music? edit: shitttt do any of them have music?

[@estaguy177]

all the bands (except agoura) memorize their music, it’s a tradition at the festival

[@ramen4302]

How did these guys not make top 3???

[@jambajoby32]

Though high level of playing, there are some elements that need some work. Good enough to travel but at this level, nuance is everything

[@jataka3]

The passion of youth! The legacy of the Duke!
