That is the quietest band class I've ever seen.
AstralLemon Amen.
Amen
True
Same
I can hear the band class down the hall from one of my classes.
Of course I am in band as well
The people in the class probably went into shock while he was playing, thus silencing them lolol
This boi has lungs of steel.
The flutes have lungs of titaniumdiamonds
Any1 relate? ^^^^
Lovely
no one:
the fly in my room at 3am:
Lmao
Lol underrated comment
Stop putting “no one” in memes. It isn’t humorous
Goofy Goober 420 I don’t find it humorous but plenty of people seem to find it humorous
Goofy Goober 420 stop being a buzz-kill 💕 even if you don’t like a meme doesn’t mean everyone doesn’t.
Not only did he nail this performance, but did so with circular breathing. I’ve been playing for years and still can’t do it. Bravo!
That's what I'm saying... been taught over and over but still can't do it
This holds happy memories as my mom used to play this on piano.shes passed on, but that song lives on in my heart.
You are blessed ❤️
Hope you’re doing good and staying safe. Sending support and hearts. ❤❤❤❤❤
Sorry for your loss, but one way that makes me happy in dark times is playing my violin and saxophone. So you should sit down and learn because the piano is a peaceful instrument 😊
My mother also played this on the piano along with a jazzed up version called, The Bumble Boogie. I couldn't believe how fast she could play. She was a childhood prodigy and a virtuoso. She's been gone quite awhile now. I played saxophone as a kid but not like this kid. Amazing.
he’s like: IVE WAITED MY WHOLE LIfe FOR THIS MOMENT
tristen gambito he’s 14 that’s a long time to wait
Probably me after memorizing whole megalovania in flute
tristen gambito I got 1k likes for u
And completely crushes it...#GoodStuff
So true 😄
That is the longest I have seen a middle school band class stay silent for lmao
aaaa so true-
TRUUUUUUUUUUUUEEEEEEEEEEE
As a member of a middle school band, this is 100% true 😔🤚
Omg- why is this so true 💀🖐️
@@natawwee same
I’m just impressed by the articulation and his breathing! I am doing a clarinet solo right now that is supposed to go super fast while play sixteenth notes and I just can’t get the articulations down. This was so good!
👍👌👏 Oh WOW, simply fantastic! He plays so fast that we are even able to hear the saxophone's air flaps/vents clap. Thanks a lot for recording, uploading and sharing this unbeliiiiievably good solo.
Best regards luck and health to all involved people.
I suddenly became a disappointment
M1G this isn't even that impressive
I thought that was on your birthday
don't get jealous my boy, get inspired
+Roninator inc. it is impressive. I'm in band I would no it is very hard to learn a instrument .even harder to do that.
Stephanie Rodrigues It isn't that impressive honestly. His intonation was weak.
That one band director “that was great. But you actually left out the articulation in certain spots”
Elizabeth Slater my bd.
That is my band teacher honestly
Ur mom
Hahaha god there was a kid who played this piece in my seventh grade class and he fuckin killed it but the band teacher (bitch) was literally like no stop clapping Caleb YOU know that in the 14th measure there was an eighth note that was NOT supposed to be slurred YOU ARE A DISGRACE lol
My old 7th grade band teacher
I love it when people discover their Thing. I believe everyone has greatness in them, they just have to figure out what it is. That's why you should try everything you can, because you just never know what your Thing might be.
Yall, he did this all by memory. If you look the stand is facing the other way. Astounding 👏

The kid in the red shirt: “I’m a failure”
The burrowing of the face into to his hands is just pure disappointment
😂
Well he does play trumpet
@@choeung 😂
I used the same time as the later time I used the he can join drum corp though when he’s older
I love how hype the girls face is in the background the whole time
HAHAHAH
She really said 😆
you already know this kid is gonna get it
This is how we band nerds get the ladies 😂
@@Joep14329 “nerd” is a little provocative, don’t ya think?
I am so impressed. My favorite instrument. Hope he goes the distance with his talent.
Unbelievable! You are a very talented young man! 🐝
Damn I had to pause the video to let him breath
:-)

“Circular breathing”
Best comment here. Thx!

What about the kid in the red shirt
Lol, I’m the Sax player in green.
@@mandrew296 Are you actually? 😂😂

Andrew Evans are you the kid in the green? :)
No matter what this young man does with his future, when he is 80 years old and picks up the saxophone, he will still be able to play that! Such dedication and talent. Incredible.
Those dynamics are amazing, especially in the first half.

@@kevinkim2651 I was gonna say that.
It’s amazing how he used the right dynamics too!
He’s gotta be in college now. I’d love to hear him play this piece now, four years later.
Everyone: "omg eminem dosent breath"
This kid:"Hold my breath"
Hello sir i would like to inform you of circular breathing
Yes. There is something called circle breathing. It's hard
Circular breathing is a thing
Band kids don't breath, and even if we did, which we definitely don't, you would never know
What does that mean? Inhalin while exhaling?
*still gets second chair*
xD
vFettuccine not a statement truer in the world bro!
vFettuccine BAHAH THATS SO MY SCHOOL
:,) true..... im first chair though😂😂😂😂
vFettuccine this might be a playing challenge? 🤷🏼♀️
He looked so proud at the end as all of his classmates applauded and cheered. I hope he gave himself a huge slap on the back for that one cus that is just incredible!
Wow, thats amazing playing.
This lad will go far if he keeps on playing. Well done the other pupils for not interupting him... its nice someone has recorded it for him.
A true lingling
If you can play it slow, you can play it fast
Only if you practice 40 hours a day
Someone Random I was looking for this comment
Omg yes
Someone Random you’re the real two set violin fan right here😂

*Band kids have left the server*
Right😂😂😂😂

Princessme oh mah gawd, how did I not realize that xd
/facepalm
Cold Twig but it’s uneven.
Absolutely brilliant playing with tremendous skill matched only by the genuine appreciation of his peers when he finished.! ! !
Not only did he play it really fast. He even used dynamics which makes it more incredible.
Didn't realise he was sitting and just thought he was really short 😂😂
Milly Fin Lol. Didn't even see that. I knew he was sitting but now I see it and i cant stop laughing.
Lmao now that u mention it I see him standing and being short!! Lmao!!! Before I knew he was sitting
Wtf
Hahha i didn't notice and now i can't unsee it!?
Some David Blaine stuff.. # saxophonerising
Everyone’s impressed by the notes but I’m impressed by the circular breathing.
Me too
Right?!?
What is circular breathing?
@@tiggert4002 I guess breathing while playing?
That’s what I said! Also the way he switches registers so quickly and easily! 😳😳
Tears came to my eyes with the bands reaction. Hope to hear from/of in the future.
Wow. The whole class paid attention to him. That’s impressive. I remember in my band class, everyone would just be chatting when the teacher is not around. No one gives a dang what the other person can do/play, lol.

Can you imagine how big the ego is of the Saxophone player that's playing.

I’m kinda that kid I’m a clarinetist and I can play like the really high ear breaker notes and I always play 1st part
the noises from the keys, is just chefs kiss
as an 8th grade saxophone, I’ve never been more impressed! It must have taken him forever to learn that!
how's it like being a saxophone
The man only took 4 breaths
ButterPlayz_YT circular breathing my boi
Definitely circular breathing, as you can see his cheeks pop outwards, forming that air to push out
circular breathing man. circular breathing.
I wish I could do that

Good. Now play it backwards.

@@AnthonyHernandez-xr1uy y
Nearly flawless circular breathing in 8th grade? It looks like he triples on alto, bari, and soprano. Put that together with his technical skills and that kid is going to be a monster one day.
Judging by your comment, I think it's safe to assume that you're not a very experienced musician or else you wouldn't have said circular breathing and tripling instruments is easy. I'm not claiming that I'm anything special either, but it's just ridiculous to make such a claim and is most likely a brag. In the very least, you're in no position to put yourself above this student.
To get a mature sound on the first saxophone you play, it will take years to develop. Usually well past eighth grade. This student already has a very mature tone at his age, and judging from his playing, I wouldn't doubt that he has a similar devotion to his other two instruments. Most band directors wouldn't have an eighth grader double or triple anyway, since it generally won't sound great and the band isn't great to begin with. Which goes to show that he is most likely very advanced on three instruments while even the best players at that age are usually decent on one.
Circular breathing is not an easy skill period. Yes, it comes easier to some, however to get a seamless circular breath (not bending pitch, stopping air flow, pinching mouthpiece) while playing sixteenth notes at that tempo is a very difficult thing to do, and I'd argue that most professionals would try to find ways around it since most people prefer to circular breath on sustained notes.
Chromaticism actually has nothing to do with the difficulty of the piece. On a trombone, say, sixteenth notes for something like Carnival of Venice are much more difficult than sixteenth notes for Flight, because chromatic notes are actually physically easier to play in succession for a trombone. But for a saxophone, the chromatic scale does not offer any shortcuts that make it easier to play than other things. So while yes, you are more likely to practice a chromatic scale than the sixteenth note runs in Incantation and Dance, the fact that they are chromatic in no way contributes to a lack of impressiveness because the physical dexterity it takes is mostly all the same.
And yes, I understand there are other very talented young musicians. I don't think they take away from the fact that this kid is very good at what he does and will probably continue on to be amazing.
whoever you were talking to deleted their comment out of pure embarrassment of their stupid comment that warranted such a logical response. lmao
Joe Finn BEST PERSON EVER OMG! Lmao made him delete his comment dude.
Joe Finn there are some alternate fingerings for the chromatic scale...he may have used some...or not...... certainly he is an 8th grade monster...I was one as well back in 72/73
Joe Finn where did you get soprano from
That kid will go far in whatever he does in life
I went to a college band camp with this guy shortly after this video was originally uploaded. Played sax with him in a concert and jazz performance, he was infact a goat.
There’s no way he didn’t get a girl after that one.

I like how the only kid here who doesn’t appear impressed is the one other saxophonist...
He's jealous xD

He’s not impressed because he’s depressed

Pop off king, I think you dropped this 👑
I once saw a man play the same song, but tenor sax while holding down the B flat 1 and 1 fingering only. Played it like a brass instrument as it was originally intended, someone slapped a clarinet mouthpiece and today's sax was born. This kid is fire and I see him getting that good!
