You can tell by her body language, the clarinetist intend every notes. she's not only good, she's confident af

[@RankingBadge25]

last part was so genius i thought she took it from the original clari solo

[@Mistify.]

THAT CLARINET IS CRAZY AWESOME! I'm so doing jazz band this year in my school! This is my inspiration.

[@360fishingadventures8]

From an experienced player in the jazz band, you will not regret that decision.

[@MusicByVolts]

Jazz is awesome, I recommend that if youre a clarinet to learn saxophone, you can do it pretty easily.

[@OddMeterMusic]

That clarinetist is something else. I hope she goes on in music.

[@LuluNoLimit]

I saw her live a few months ago she’s crazy

[@biggjulia]

she studies at juilliard now

[@caylebwilson7610]

The guitarist's smirk during that solo... so funny

[@joelwexler]

These kids are incredible. If my grandkid was playing this I'd be crying tears of joy.

[@Adrianna-f7y]

This is emma lacy. She's an incredible award winning clarinetist and sax player from Foxborough Massachusetts. I love her sooo much she's really good. She also looks a lot like rory gilmore lol

[@weirdperson6557]

That solo was crazy but the dynamics send me to HEAVEN

[@TrainFlood]

clarinet went wild. so good

[@KeithCooper-Albuquerque]

This is one of the best high school jazz band recordings I have ever heard, and I have heard a ton of them. Great job to the students and the director!

[@WeiskopfTrumpeting]

Aaron Bush was the director of my middle school’s band before he switched to Foxboro. I started middle school the year after he left so I unfortunately never got to experience this, but I have heard many tales of this man from my upperclassmen friends.

awesome of you to be posting all these credits! thank you 🙏

[@SeiboRoblox]

Im surprised this wasnt first

[@birchayurveda9478]

You are wicked awesome. What a talented group of musicians.

[@RonLWilson]

Cool! That is amazing for a high school band! Wish my old high school band could play like that!

[@legaleagles3654]

Amazing for any band to be fair. Quality musicians 🎵🔥

[@orcatwilight1340]

Ayo checking in from Massachusetts, so proud!

[@lockspring666]

I do clarinet in my school band, this is my inspo!

[@matthewbenedict5923]

they nailed it

[@ouananiches]

that’s great, literally great.

[@chakatania]

Nice warm sound! Thoughtful melodic lines ~~~~~ You go girl!

[@Dog-ix8ft]

So inspiring. My school doesn't let clarinet p!Ayers into jazz band so I'm just gonna who out my phone and show them this when they "Clarinet aren't jazz instruments"

[@AnnaKahlo]

I kinda took personally that the public didn't get up to applaud. That was mindblowing!

[@joelwexler]

I would have. If my kid, it would have been embarrassing.

[@AnnaKahlo]

@@joelwexler riiightttt

[@renoreb953]

👏 Bravo from paris France 🇫🇷

[@IowaBassbone]

That performance shows a HELLOFALOTTA dedication by these talented hard-working musicians.

[@neilmak]

I think the first solo is not improvised. My guess is it's a head arrangement by Emma, possibly based on the attractive solo by Jimmy Hamilton on the 1951 Ellington recording. Not to take anything away from Emma - improvised or not, that's a superb piece of clarinet playing....

[@noahs.627]

Most Essentially Ellington solos are just the original Ellington solos but on steroids. Wynton Marsalis puts an emphasis on the tradition of it

[@hawksanders2426]

This guy named jaqthetrombone made a video and Emma lacy the clarinet commented on it just saying in case u want to compliment her or soenthing

[@DeadlyMongoose1]

This girl on clarinet sure beats the Hell out of Binky Barnes (from the tv show Arthur)

[@SeiboRoblox]

Insane

[@lordepegasus96]

INSANO

[@ouananiches]

They’re all great but Terence Fletcher would recruit the clarinetist in this one for sure.

[@icabod9345]

This is a high school band? Wow, they are tight and everyone sounds great. The Saxes and that clarinet... I did jazz band in HS in the 1960s (clarinet and alto sax) and we did not sound anywhere near that good.

[@kevinmurphy5878]

The guitar was quite tasteful. And that clarinet was foul. Wow
