@@joshuawerlen3502 You'd be surprised. I've played trombone from 5th grade all the way until the end of high school (and i guess a little past that, but casually at home, not at gigs) it's certainly a hard instrument to master. Instead of fingering keys like a trumpet, baritone or tuba, you have to memorize slide positions exactly, otherwise your notes will fall sharp or flat. I will say that this instrument is extremely microtonal, and whilst easy to pick up, it is probably one of the most difficult instruments to master properly.

Yeah, Sousa marches are a very specific genre, and not one with the most progressive political connotations, but holy crap given the genre constraints, that man could *write*, and there's so much going on in any Sousa march you care to name. Kinda the Robert E. Howard of militaristic marching band composers.

at 29:47 during "Stars and Stripes Forever", a gramaphone is clearly seen in the background. Gramaphones were in common use from the 1920s to the 1950s. There were 48 states in the US during this entire time period. Although we cannot see a full US flag in the background, all of the flags seen seem to have an alternating cross pattern of stars, which is the pattern that the 50 star flag uses. However, the 48 star flag uses a more regular grid pattern. This could indicate that the timeline of trombone champ is different from our current timeline, but more likely that is reading way too far into it and it was a simple mistake.
