    Nice! That tune is extremely tricky - the vocal harmonies alone. Lots of quirky odd time bits scattered about too.

    Congrats

    Looking forward to my day in court.

    You are a superb teacher and I'm sure the kids give you much nachus!

    You can tell that some of them are really into it. Some seem to be a little confused - The drummer, in particular seems to be thinking "OK, I have to count past four on this bar....", "Oh, wait - now I count to less than four"... The guitarist shoots him looks like... "Hey, Nigel...not yet!..." of course maybe they are imitating Yes by giving each other dirty looks on stage... Thats kind of a Yes thing too right?

    Its a really nice work. That bass player has obviously gotten into the Squire sound... The keyboardist is really talented, - hell, they all are for high schoolers...

    What a pleasure to watch. Thanks for posting.

    By the way, is this a music and arts school (a-la Alon or Talma Yalin schools) or a regular highschool with a music department?
