Real reactions from the players, directors & students who love Downtown Tango.
it says optional for bari sax, but the piece wouldn't sound the same without it......
Just got this for the jazz band that I'm in yesterday. Already one of my favorite pieces I've ever played
The tenor and trumpet solos go hard af
I love the back and forth with the trombones
Easily the most memorable song of my middle school career. So much fun to play! Judson MS band anyone?
Band is playing this at 1.25 speed, I love it
This sounds like "Tonight, We Tango" a piece my jazz band played, but easier. I was able to predict the song, and it has a lot less rhythmic flair, especially in the sax section.
