The "Basically Basie" competition is more about determining which band embraced the "study" of the repertoire and demonstrated their "findings" the most thoroughly and effectively on stage. All of the bands that enter this competition are outstanding and reflect the outstanding leadership provided by their directors. The judges are not trying to decide which is "the best" band. The band director then puts all those parts together paying particular attention to dynamics, feel, balance, blend, intonation, articulation and time.īands who accept this challenge and are able to display the evidence of their due diligence on stage are usually the most successful. This puts much onus on each individual musician to do their homework to be able to emulate their part in the score as well as their solos. We hope that each band, as an ensemble, but additionally each individual band member, embraces the challenge of dissecting the composition and studying the interpretation of the artists' who originally performed the music. The point of making "Basically Basie" a competition is to give bands the motivation to delve deeply into their chosen repertoire. Particularly with bands here in Kansas City, we feel it is important that our students understand, appreciate and take pride in the unique jazz legacy that many musicians, but particularly Count Basie, bestowed on our town.
