The 8-Bit Big Band

HOLY SHIT THEY DID IT. Everybody check out this video of the 2025 UWEC Jazz 1 Ensemble daring to perform probably the hardest thing I've ever arranged... and absolutely CRUSHING IT! Well done all!! For those of you that don't play an instrument, this arrangement is fiendishly difficult and I never intended for anybody to ever play it live, but boy was I wrong!! Absolutely smoking!!!!

I admit to being the guilty culprit who gave Charlie this to share amongst you all. Oh. My. God.

The UWEC jazz program is fantastic, I go to school there and they recruit a ton of incredible players. This is a great arrangement and yeah, they knocked it out of the park!

If this isn’t a great recruitment video for the University of Wisconsin - Eau Claire music program, I don’t know what is.
