@@TroubleLightCoasters Umm, what the fuck lol? I don't know what Texas bands you've heard but you can't reach the all state level without having phenomenal dynamic control and phrasing.

Lol our band hall got completely torn down… we have a new one that has like 12 practice rooms and 6 band halls including the ones used for orchestra and choir. There is no more carpet and it’s all tile now lol.
Rhythmically, this was nice. Kudos for pushing yourselves on tempo and etudes. Curious if you have any of the same etude with dynamics, Jazz phrasings, style/nuance, etc?
argued. I'm a Texas band student and are band got a division one today and we are now advancing to area. Also the other bands their today also got a division one so I can confirm that we do love playing instruments and will do anything to perfect it.
If you hear them counting it off, they’re treating the metronome pulse as the half note. They’re playing double time. It would be stupid to put the met on 300 because then it’s way harder to hear where the downbeat is
@@isaacdes962 think of it in 2/2 (or cut time) and it’s clicking on every beat (in this case half notes rather than quarters). In my experience, when the tempo gets ridiculously fast in jazz it’s more common for the met to be on 1&3 than 2&4.
@@andrewclark2878 I can understand it haha, it just displeases me, I've minimal experience in the super fast stuff, in all honesty I find it a little jarring past 240 unless it's a song like cherokee which you can generally play at 300 like it's 150 and just add the odd fast phrase. Thanks for the useful tip!!
This is well over suggested performance tempo, just for fun. The subtleties of swing aren’t possible at that speed, and besides, it is an etude, not a piece. It’s purpose is to showcase technical proficiency.
Feels alright to me. They're obviously playing it as a technical exercise though so it's not really intended to slap on your $2k hifi headphones dac and amp and listen to it.

Subdivided metronome. 1 beat is a half note. Playing with a metronome of 300 beats per minute must be pretty annoying, and easy to lose track of the down beat.
No, It’s the same thing, just twice as fast. The quarter note is at 300…it’s just confusing because the metronome is only ticking at the half note. Blame the metronome (as usual).
Guy on the left here. You’ll notice I’m more of an alpha jazzer cause I played by memory
You make state??

Is at 150bpm
Half note=150
@@ImChazo exactly
the peice is on paper as quarter=300. but it's easier to feel the half note. that's why the metronome is at 150, but it is still played at quarter=300

Those are 16ths at 150
8th notes cut time. Tapping along to 300 bpm clicks is counterproductive.

Yup and I still have it

I'm confused is the metronome in half time???
Although you texans are a different breed

why does the mouthpiece sound different from a classical mouthpiece?

I’ve done it plenty of times, worked great for me, but what would I know lol
It’s 16th notes in a 150bpm tempo 🤗🤪
It was supposed to be played in 8th notes so basically 300
The clicks were 150 bpm, but it was double time. They were 8th notes as written in the sheet music.
@@kurtkauffman6254 dub for Kurt
but why
Now do it in cut time
