word choice - What is a good synonym for "badass" that would be usable in a high school setting?


I'm looking for a better way to say "orchestral brass musicians are badass" that doesn't use any words that could be considered profanity.


(If you're not sure what I mean by orchestral brass musicians, as far as I'm concerned they're the equivalent of Samuel L. Jackson.)
