Faceoff 2005
Match 1
Klimpel vs. Wittkop
vs. 
By Christopher Hanson
In light of the recent jazz ensemble concert, we have selected Jessy Klimpel, lead alto saxophone of jazz band and Brian Wittkop, lead tenor saxophone in the same band, to duel it to the end on our first Hanson and Beseler Online Faceoff! Enjoy!
| Jessy Klimpel | Catagory | Brian Wittkop | The Edge | Thoughts |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Unlaquored Yamaha 82Z Alto | The Gear | Selmer Mark VI Tenor | Wittkop | Both axes are good, but no one can argue with the sound of a true Mark VI, seriously... |
| Erin Ott | Girlfriend | Emily Hunt | Even | We love them both, how could this even be a trivial matter? |
| None | Job | None | Even | Don't work too hard, now... |
| Jessy after consuming a bottle of rum at the house on 6th | Funniest Party Moment | Brian swearing for the camera at Jass Party 2004 | Wittkop | Have you seen that video? Good stuff... |
| Alto feature on Samantha, solo on Groove Master | The October 1st Concert | Solos on Groove Master & Spacin' Home | Klimpel | While all solos were good, Klimpel did everything to sound like Matt Patnode (i.e. style, tone, absurd volume levels...) Sorry Brian, we have to go with Jessy on this one... |
| 9 semesters- 5 semesters in jazz ensemble, 3 in lab band, 1 semester not in jazz | Time in Service | 7 semesters- 7 semesters in jazz ensemble | Wittkop | Jessy, remember when you were in lab band and hated it? |
| House on 19th | Living Situation | With mom in Moorhead | Klimpel | Seriously, dude... |
| Karpel | Nicknames | B.A.M.F. | Wittkop | Karpel is drunk induced, B.A.M.F. is all about catchy unexpected attitude and cussing... |
| Minot Magic City Campus High School | High School | Fargo North High School | Klimpel | While both of these school's band directors are notorious for programing a lot of the same music, at least Dave Jensen does it over three-four year cycles. Brian Tessmann programs Funky Cha Cha and Manteca every damned year... |
| Fat | Size | Phat | Klimpel | This isn't even a contest... |
And the winner is...
It's a draw! Incredible. Do I smell a rematch?
Stay tuned, another faceoff is coming soon...
