Tug of War Duet by Charis Dwire 

I’m surprised I saw this this early. This feels like a video that would have been up for like, 10 years by now.

Ah, my favorite musical genre: Trombone Nonsense™.

For a second I thought they would link their slides at the beginning xD

As they played multiple notes in the beginning without moving, I realized I have no idea how a trombone works

I love when I discover people still making Old RU-vid Content in 2024 and not every thing is hyper scripted, and edited within an inch of It's life.

I’m pretty sure it’s against the Geneva Convention to play trombone directly at another person’s face like that.

Ah, the trombone, an instrument with the perfect balance of beauty and comedy.

About a year ago I told my sister, "Hey I've got an interesting arranging challenge for you. But you'll need to learn how trombones work." Twelve months later, she's expertly turned that idea into a viral video! Congrats sis! 😄

And yet when I yank a trombonist's slide it's "destructively rude" and "extremely inappropriate behavior"

This the kind of video that would pop up on your feed in 10 years

Idea for new sport: Trombone fencing!

this feels like something a Disney movie would have used in a scene where the characters are hiding from each other or doing tug of war

My orange cat's two braincells fighting for third place:

This is such an interesting concept, and a catchy song, too. So, now I'm trying to think of any other instruments whose natural movement could let you "duel" like this. The best I've thought of so far are a pair of string players, sitting closely enough that their bows are just barely staying out of one another's way (which would look kind of like a saw); or two people playing mallet percussion instruments, and either "crossing swords," or trying to avoid doing exactly that. But yes, the trombone is special. It's much cooler than a lot of people give it credit.

I'll be happy to see this pop back up in my recommended in ten years, can't believe this wasn't made in like, 2012. Feels straight like old youtube content

This is an idea that can only work specifically on a trombone due to its build and thats wonderful.

Smart and clever performance. Simple, memorable fun tune that’s stuck in my head. I love it. Force a whole orchestra to provide back up.

This would make a good, military cartoon march.

Great composition, now I just need a trombone and a friend.

The first four notes are like the start of Mario Kart or other racing games. Love that!

This gives off the same aura as those videos that came from the past and suddenly become so famous in a distant future

this is why trombone is best instrument

Awesome! Reminds me of Der Spiegel, a violin duet attributed to Mozart where the score is one page, one violinist playing right-side up and the other playing upside-down!!

This has such a classic RU-vid vibe to it.

The trombones in the back of the middle school band

Hello person viewing this in 9 years when it randomly blows up

the fact that this isn’t a 10 year old video and was actually just released 9 days ago makes me so happy

The fact that people are still creating these short videos and that they will inevitably end up in someone’s recommended in 10 years or so (if we make it that far) is strangely comforting

Remember when youtube was just full of this stuff? I love that people are still making lovable content. algorithm can't kill creativity! :D

Such an iconic instrument that looks crazy the moment I step back and look at it objectively.

This is what RU-vid should be like. Forget MrBeast, PewDiePie, etc. We need more QUALITY content like this.

This video really reads like 2012 RU-vid, and man am I here for it! Honestly the tomfoolery in this video is off the charts and I love that.

Aaah, love me some good instrument silliness. And extra good when it involves trombones. They hold a special place in my heart as I used to play when I was a kid, and my dad (as well as a few other extended family members) still play to this day.

This feels like a 2008 youtube video & I mean that in the best way possible.

This has inspired me to joust with my trombone. Thank you.

Q) What is the practical range of a bass trombone? A) About 20 yards if you have a good arm.

Ok, for a song based on keeping the trumpets ends overlapping each other without moving as the performer, that synced and sounded REALLY GOOD!!

So fun! Fabulously done.

Just played this duet with a friend at a concert yesterday. Super fun would recommend for other trombonists

Love how they get into a "fighting stance" just before starting

I remembered each slide position of the trombone was used to play multiple notes... but this was a visual example of when trombonist must and can get by with not moving the slide to change the pitch of the trombone! Wow!

Can we appreciate the fact that this was arranged so the filmer knew exactly where to sit?

As a trombone, this is 100% normal behavior.

This really feels like a 10 years ol video lol Now I'll probably see this comment in 10 years and remember this masterpiece lol

the way his slide came off at the end😂

The Mario-cart sounding "one two three go" at the beginning already got me

This is a masterpiece that will transcend and outlast the popularity of RU-vid in the future.

Can't wait for this to recommend to everyone several years from now.

oh my gosh this is so cool !! its not only a composition but also a performance. and also the performance (as in the constraints of the game) informs the composition and vice versa waaohhh also i thought this was a reupload or something but it turns out its uploaded by the actual composer heck yeah instant sub !!

This piece feels so whimsical, like something out of an old disney cartoon or something like that

Truly a 10 years later moment

This is utterly amazing, deserves to go viral so everyone can witness this masterpiece

this is so funny cute and cool ppl dont know how easy hard it is to play trombone (I witched to Sax) so to be able to change tunes without sliding too little or too hard let alone not hit each other with the handle face to face like that, is quite a lovely start to my day actually. those are heavy and also need to be constantly on top of lubricating the slider and unfort the emptying of the spit valve lol. So if anyone heres a Tromber Keep it up :D

How they didnt laugh is beyond me. But they were amazing! In my experience, its pretty hard to maintain such a good tone like that. Like all jokes aside, they sounded amazing!

The slide at the end was amazing

As a trombonist, I fully approve of this video. And, it is true that EVERY trombonist has lost a slide at least once, though that tends to stop happening as one matures with the instrument.

See you all in 5 years when the algorithm invites us to return

This is a trust exercise among trombonists

This feels like something from an old cartoon like Tom & Jerry. Not just the music but the concept itself. Lots of talent on display here!

This gonna blow up in 15 years

Whenever I have to think of contrary motion I'll think of 2 dudes trombones never letting a gap of air settle between them. So thanks for the visual!

I love fun silly things like this, the world needs more simple happiness

You see, this is what I want to see on youtube

This feels like a video posted in 2014 in all the best ways

This was very clever and I love it.

This is such a clever idea and the arranging knowledge that must have gone into this is insane. I should try to convince two of my trombone friends to play this

This is awesome... Also, this video absolutely BLASTED on this channel. Like THOUSANDS of times of average views. That's crazy

Pleasantly surprised with an early arrival, and a well-made performance! Very nice.

here before we get reccomended this in 4 years

Someone mentioned that this feels like a video filmed 10 years ago and I definitely agree with them. Leaving my comment here and hoping I'll revisit this video in 10 years.

The coordination between the two is amazing!

This is going up there with the A-train sax battle video for me. I'll be coming back to this for years to come for sure

Here before it gets recommended again 10 years later.

Not only is this delightful, But it's also a really interesting lesson in embouchure.

Youtbe algorythms bringing me this awesome creation in the middle of the night thank you!

Looks like something that would be in an episode of the three stooges. Sounds like it too. You could turn this into a pretty funny slapstick routine, I think.

In 10 years this will go mega viral for no discernable reason, just like those kids singing the tally hall banana song

really creative idea for a song and i think its great

This is both genius and hilarious! Clever writing and great performance!!

This is so fun! Works visually, fresh idea, great tune!

i miss read the post date as 8 years ago and totally believed it but nope 8 days! also this is really cool

I am so proud to be a trombonist

I'm leaving a comment here so that I'll remember this video a year from now

See y’all in 5 years when it pops back up

Imagine if wars were fought like this.

That is so fantastic. I can't believe this seems like a first. Very clever. I agree binding them together would add to the experience.

Even if the instruments aren't linked together, this is pretty fucking cool

This feels like good old youtube content, I love this!

Woow! Thank you for the birthday present. Was posted on my birthday. Also it's adorable and fun to watch the video, especially the ending. that was fun!

The insane talent that goes into something like this is amazing to me.

Similar type of whimy as "I Love Tofu". Love it!

This, this is beautiful

Thank you for this beautiful piece and performance! 🎉

this feels like the kind of thing to blow up in 10 yrs and have 3mil views

Best trombone battle I have seen 😂

This video is giving me 2012 vibes. I feel like this would have been posted years ago.

this is probably going to be one of those videos that have like 70 million views 10 years later

this is amazing playing, genuinely glad i got to see this early

Charis!! This is so cool! Congrats on writing such an awesome piece!

This is actually a really cool concept, I would've never thought of lol
