I did it senior year as 1st chair with my 2nd and 3rd chair. But we did the "trick" where we crossed over eachother to do fingers on another horn.. our director said it's a thing that gets done but I've never found a video of anyone doing it
@@FinnCohen. there's no good way to describe it except at one point 3 of us were standing next to eachother reaching around and under eachother so we were each controlling half of one trumpet ( valves or mouthpiece) and since I can't find a video of it that's all I can say
Takes me back to my childhood, wonderful music Dad played on his quite powerful grama phone, no TV in those days, Leroy Anderson was the music of the time, so many memorable numbers he wrote
What a truly American sound, Like Irving Berlin and Richard Rogers. I love the enthusiasm of the orchestra and the crowd. Something to love that loves you back!
when I was a student at CIM Michael Sachs knocked me on my ass in a pick-up football game next to the student dormitory! Anyway, it was cool that he wanted to play football with us low-life music undergrads. Bravo to all three soloists and the band. SOUNDS GREAT!
Spectacular! I once heard a version whereby two of the three played the orchestral part at 2:24 (where the baritones run up the scale immediately prior to the end), an incredible variation/take on the classic.
I just talked to two musicians who put together a tribute concert in 2010 for their old band teacher. The teacher had always wanted to play "Bugler's Holiday" in a concert but had never had the opportunity, in all his 45 years teaching middle-school band. The two musicians solicited alumni of his band classes, asking them to volunteer to play the three-trumpet piece, and dozens of the trumpet players clamored to be allowed to play with the teacher. In the end they allowed only eight other trumpeters to share the stage with him for "Bugler's Holiday." At the end of the piece the teacher shook the hand of one of the organizers, and he had tears in his eyes.
Isn't it interesting how really good musicians make something like this sound almost leisurely and unhurried? Maurice Andre does it too. Listen to him playing "Carnival of Venice sometime.
+Lani Bohmont, it shouldn't. The two instruments are made for different sounds and different purposes. I still am amazed at the abilities of two of our clarinetists when I was in high school. They were wondrous. Both went on to professional, classical careers.
They were talking about this in relation to it being used for the news on KAKE channel 10 in Wichita, Kansas. As soon as I heard it, I did recognize it and am so glad I searched for the name here on youtube. I played percussion all thru school in band and never knew the name of this tune.. Now I do... and I like it more ...
David Searfoss My thoughts exactly, and I'm not biased in any way. :) Michael Sachs did a great job leading the trumpets, and Travis Cross directed the UCLA Wind Ensemble superbly to achieve a wonderfully balanced sound.
Nice band. Tight together and in tune. Nice energy and precision in the 1/16 notes in the woodwinds. Fine and groovy conductor, in his own understated fashion. This is a lovely tune played by a lovely band.
Not so tight, and not always exactly in tune. Close, but it's got some holes in it. Listen very carefully. Compare it to Leroy Anderson's original recording.
Well done! Notoo fast as many tend to do. Sorry a trumpet flubbed thend. Another wonderful composition by *LEROY ANDERSON* I played trumpet and memorized the part. Why are they turning pages?
Sadly, there were multiple trumpet flubs, and not just at the end. Couldn't believe it when the trumpeter on the left missed some notes because he was turning a page! However, good tempo, and a noble & serviceable attempt at Leroy Anderson's brilliant composition. The best I've heard so far is Leroy Anderson's original recording of the song. Al Hirt & company also do an admirable job. Remember, this is infinitely difficult to play, for both trumpet soloists AND the orchestra! Want to be really impressed?
