It's so cool to see the other kids digging their band mates solos, and just digging the groove. The bass & guitar seem so locked in!

First sax player started with Ben Webster’s first phrase, then the alto player ended with another phrase from the original solo. Pretty cool

not entirely sure, but i think they perform when the band needs more parts covered (vocals, aux perc., more winds, etc.)

@zynrchkll 5 жыл бұрын

It’s arranged for small big band format. Only about 2 parts per instrument. Also what spooky boi wrote.

@roosterslime9430 4 жыл бұрын

ApplePie IS GUD This band is actually bigger that what is currently on stage (they have more trombones, saxophonists, etc.) Unfortunately, Ellington music is restricted to a certain number of parts, and putting two people on a part would probably overpower the band’s balance. Because the director wants everybody to have a chance to play, he is saving those people to switch out with those on stage already for a different song so everybody has a chance to play.

@PuddingPepzi Жыл бұрын

My band competed to enter the Ellington competition, we had to play 1 of each part. So I'm assuming it's the same when peforming
