Hebron HS Band 2021 - Screamer Trumpet Transcription 

What’s the black thing near where you put your mouth piece in

@@Illiterate243 A scope to aim better

@@burning_trash …. But seriously what is it

@@Illiterate243 the "berp"

It’s a camera lense

Lol what school u go too?

I go to PCN

@@michaelsaffoldjr9821 don't wanna say the exact school name, it just kinda leaves the band as an afterthought

@@mageism259 ?

If my school had a marching band I’d be so happy

Fr

wish this recording sounded like what he was putting out during state finals... I wish I worked out my range my junior range instead of now as a senior ;-;

@@folbbey9354 same for me

3 of us in my band can play a double G, our director said we could add higher register notes on whole notes where we wanted to next year

@@jack5exe312 literally a dream right there. W Band Director

Maybe it helps with some of the higher notes? 🤷‍♂️ I know it’s meant for jazz mostly but maybe since it’s a lead piece it helps

@@aka_Jdizzle GR mouthpieces come in many qualities, you can get lead pieces that work well for marching band. I use two GR mouthpieces that work really well in marching band. My range is similar to their top players on it

@@levimccoy4127 what specs?

@@treylansimpson5907 I had a 63 and a 67. Don’t quote me on that. I have those mouthpieces away. Currently using a picket 5C with their base backbore

And they can still be a little goofy while being great!

Yeah excited to see what they have coming in 2022. For right now and possibly a long time in the future, this will be the best HS marching band show ever

Great program for sure. I won't argue that in 100 lifetimes, but "...most of DCI to shame" is REALLY a stretch. That's like saying UConn Men's basketball could beat the Lakers. It's just not going to happen.

​@@zachhill8637they're certainly above some of the lowest world class corps, and for a high school band that's a crazy achievement

@@Last_Survivor593name the Corp, because every world class Corp is topping this band

that’s because they are basically a drum corps when they give woodwinds little to no features and when they do they are very short

Facts, if only our marching bands were as committed as these people.

they heavily fund their band to make up for their football teams failures

what's a trumpet screamer?

@@zecho3535 it’s exactly what you think it is

what school

Noblesville high school, there’s headcams on my page

@@K0RNBREAD you’re still luckier than what I had in HS. I went to Pike lol

So you're from there. See you at the showcase this year

It’s prob in their programming unlike most schools

I think they had gotten first in both prelims and finals. My band also had to go up against them but we didn't make finals. Do you have a recording of ur band performance

@@therealnocommonsense I wish I did. We were having dinner after our performance was over.

@@IBlackRoseI Ah

truly amazing, I believe the finale was our wind ensembles hardest piece so honestly props to y’all playing that as a whole band. -from woodlands

Plano East kid here, yeah Hebron slayed at UIL. They got second to Flower Mound at area finals but a well deserved first at state. I couldn’t see their area performance myself as Plano East drew the first performance of the day, so we left the stadium for most of the day,but I heard amazing things about both performances

For me rehearsal starts in late July(McNeil)

Not uncommon

I know, the basses are so good 😭😭

definitely blue shades

I wouldn’t get all twisted up about range. A D is higher than most high schoolers, your director wouldn’t ask you to play above C unless he knew you could

Also Hebron has much harder music than most schools so if ur not going to a top 10 school or so you shouldn’t have to play it

@dylan hatton I wouldn't necessarily say a better embouchure for high notes, since I think a good centered and consistent embouchure is key to playing in all ranges. If high notes are challenging, try to compress your air more, that way the air speeds up, as well as trying to use your vowels. But, I think the most important key is keeping a consistent air flow, and keeping a good tone. Range is not the most important thing, a great tone is most of it, while using your diaphragm to blow into the horn. To keep improving your range, raise your tongue and keep it in an arch when you use the vowels eee. Also, remember to stay as relaxed as much as possible, which in turn improves your playing overall. The trumpet is a challenging instrument, and going off with how you said "if I'm gonna...play this in high school," I can assume you are a middle school student.

@@ryanregala948 HAHA my director has me playing a double b and my highest consistent range is a double g. I can hit double b but it pain

@@levimccoy4127 damn you can go up to a double G, so that means you can go above the g above the staff. That is actually impressive, not many young high school or middle school students could hit that unless if you are a screamer. Not even college kids, except for screamers again, can go that high. Well adult jazz musicians and maybe some of the players in dci could hit it. To get that upper range takes a lot of work, so if I were you keep up the good work.

Thx

It’s not too hard it just helps with playing with a smoother sound while also marching most dci groups also March like this 🤷‍♂️

There’s styles? I don’t know I’m about to be a freshmen in a few months

@@ilovehomies yeah some March with straight legs others March like they are pedaling a bike and some just walk normally and others do their own thing

I like military marching better. I know this is biased, since my school is military, but all the core band in my district aren't that great, and I love playing marches. The style sounds right, marching in straight lines is simple yet hard enough, and it just all fits together

@@aka_Jdizzlei have straight leg 😢

People wont admit that

honestly!!!!

😩😩😩😩I love clean splits

@@akira_inc5929 facts

This guy kind of mid, ngl.

It’s probably because deep down you want to be In band

It’s fairly obvious that their school system has wonderful teachers at the elementary and middle school levels as well, so they feed into the ensemble, plus these kids have a tremendous work ethic and when you hit this level the camaraderie of the group makes you want to play better and not let your friends down by sucking out.

It's a process. A long process. Your first rehearsal will probably involve practicing just taking the first step. And you'll do that first step over and over and over until you do it right. Then you add more steps. Rinse and repeat. This video is what it's like at the peak of the mountain. But the only way to the top is one step at a time.

A couple things to remember: the guy playing has been practicing pretty consistently for probably 6-7 years so it’s not like he just woke up and could play like this. Secondly, this band has built a culture for years of people working hard and performing as an ensemble. Finally, to even get the show to this point they have probably had a couple months of double digit hours a week of practice on both the music and the drill. Lots of hard work to put something great on the field.

You will if you want it bad enough

Pfft I fan only get up to an F ON THE STAFF lol 😆 (line F)

Na scratch that I just tested the highest i can play is D (line D)

Long tones. Play long tones starting on g. Go up a half step and do that over and over again until you can’t do it comfortably without pressing. You don’t have to do every half step every day but time as you do it. It’s good to make good habits as you extend your range. Also try any scale type exercises such as Clarkes and any thirds. I also like to do my lip flexibilities to my max range. Find your max range with the long tones then go by that for the rest of the day. After you find it don’t attempt to play above it until the next day. Then do your lip flexibilities and all other practice accordingly.

Well it's back

@@dylanvu5376 ¿si?

We'll get there when we get there

@@therealnocommonsense such wise words

idk

Nah i just transcribed it

its called a burp.... its a practicing technique. it has little holes on the side and you put just your mouthpiece in it and buzz... its supposed to make it harder for sound to come out since its not such a big whole for sound to come out so when you put your mouthpiece back in your instrument and start playing it makes it easier to play.... (sorry if i didnt describe it good enough 😂)

@@rickyedwardsjr3093 It’s all good. Thank you for telling me. I’ve been playing trumpet for like 5 years and didn’t know what it was 😅

5c

I’m in college he used a gr in the cam but he plays on a Bobby shew now

probably a GR CM-C1 Chris Martin

Thanks, thought it might be a GR but I wasn’t sure

I believe they have almost 400 members

Hebron HS

The opener is church windows and the closer is blue shades, i do not remember mvmt 2 or the ballad

One of the pieces is oblivion by Astor Piazzola
