"A Hint of Christmas" | Brass Multitrack Performance by Ian Bruns & Kylie Hicks

Hello all, and happy holidays!
We are so excited to finally share this video, as it's the culmination of a project that's been in the works for the last month or so.
Kylie and I designed, arranged, recorded, and edited everything you see/hear in this video.
Timestamps/movements:
0:04-1:38: Act I: "Believe" Intro and "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year"
- Arranged by Ian Bruns (2023)
1:38-3:04: Act II: "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" / "Run Rudolph Run!"
- Arranged by Ian Bruns (2022 & 2023)
3:04-5:00: Act III: Theme from "The Polar Express" / "Believe" Reprise
- Arranged by Kylie Hicks (2023)
Part Assignments:
Kylie played Trumpets I, II, III, and Mellophone I.
I played Mellophone II, Trombones I, II, and "Tuba".
To achieve a convincing tuba sound, I played the tuba part on the trumpet, then pitched the track down 2 octaves. I bought a trombone a month ago and learned it for this project.
Equipment used:
Notation Software: MuseScore
Audio Editing Software: Logic Pro X
Microphone: Shure SM57
Video Editing Software: Final Cut Pro
