Leroy Anderson wrote this specifically for my great uncle Bob Cusumano who was one of 2 original trumpet players. Bob also played for Tommy Dorsey & was featured on Rose Marie & Song of India, then was the bugler/trumpet player for the theme song for Death Valley Days TV show was well as numerous other pieces of music.

The only one ‘on holiday’ is the Sousaphone player! Ha! Awesomely well done!

[@rmadara]

I was a member of the scout band at the 1969 National Order of the Arrow Convention....we had rehearsed Bugler's Holiday, but the night we were to play it, someone had stolen the sheet music. 😓

[@jackA1690]

Wonderfully balanced! This is one of the best recordings that I have ever heard of buglers holiday!

[@donalddonaldson7404]

Breathtakingly balanced.

[@robgreaney3203]

the navy band is better. There where at least two cracked notes in this recording.

[@mestrovirtuo8579]

I beg to differ someone made a homemade pipe organ and it sounds like a calliope

[@xxskyla_playsxx8956]

my band is playing this with a trumpet trio, it sounds so amazing. The first chair trumpet that’s doing the first trumpet for this song is so good. I’m excited for our first performance with this piece.

[@slion_]

My music teacher who plays the trumpet showed me this during music class and this is another reason I should play the trumpet even more

Awesome to see Marine Band alums playing together like this.

[@lyndadostal6700]

A thumbs up isn't enough! We absolutely loved this music including John Williams and the soloist of course! Absolutely a wonderful prelude to the 2020 4th of July! Thanks so much! The Marine Corps Band (yes each and everyone) has made living with the COVID okay! Each day we tune in and just sit back and enjoy. We are seniors and can't get out safely right now so thank you thank you for coming to us! Love you all!

Yay!

[@tristania4548]

If I were a bugler, I'd need a holiday after playing "Bugler's Holiday!" Doesn't seem to be much of a holiday for them!

[@GG71005]

I was there!!!

[@lislemoore8652]

What a thrilling performance! Amazing musicianship and talent!!

[@JeDyeReleases]

I am subscribing to my own playlist here. I like this Anderson Song, "Bugler's Holiday, and also Like "The Synchopated Clock". Our nation has deep roots, including the Native American Community, etc. which is in keeping with your "President's Own" Title.

[@thomassicard3733]

BRAVO!!

[@johnferguson4089]

[@jmmcpike]

Bravo young lady! Want to see you on first next time! What a great team of musicians nicely balanced.

[@billhershey5688]

Nope, it’s BRAVA!!!!!

[@JenniferMarotta]

Thanks for calling me young! 😂

[@thomassicard3733]

Indeed - BRAVA!! Great trio balance and GREAT 3rd Solo Trumpet tone! Why did you 'guys' play it on C trumpets?

[@thomassicard3733]

Ahh... got the answer from your reply to same question from delireus. At 'home' on the C, cuz orchestral players. Hmmm... Guess I'll get a C trumpet one of these days! I do love my B&S Challenger II silver plated Bb, though! I've been playing trumpet for about 2 years, now. Played Bb Cornet for about a year before that. Years of not playing a brass instrument after retiring from French horn (played in Houston Sym Orch in the 80's, etc.), I got to missing brass playing. What to do? Already did French horn and had an exceptional range, so... CORNET/TRUMPET!!! Gonna perform this work in May this year.

[@jackmathias3120]

Whew! I clock these guys at 165. That's got to be pretty close. That some serious tuku tukus.

[@thomassicard3733]

Again. BRAVO, BRAVISSIMO!!!! I want to play the lead trio part (and can), but I think the inner parts are actually more challenging. So, who knows? I might get assigned a band trumpet section part. If so,... I will play heart out on it!!!! Hey, you know... I am extremely grateful to be enjoying playing trumpet, after MANY years of professional French horn, so... If I get to play with trumpet ensembles at all, it is the greatest blessing and challenge for me (besides my lifelong pianism...)

[@rmadara]

I played 3rd trumpet on the trio and loved the harmonies coming out of my horn 😍

Never knew Sebastian Vettel was a trumpet player

[@dilireus]

Are those C trumpets? Interesting choice for this piece since it was scored for B-flat trumpets and it was written in B-flat. Very well done!

[@JenniferMarotta]

Yes, since all three of us are orchestral players and are at home on C, we just transposed it down a step on our C trumpets!

[@user-rn1lb8sx2c]

@@JenniferMarotta wonderful playing!

[@kjcorder]

@@JenniferMarotta have you heard of or seen where the trio stands very close so they can and do finger eachothers horns. The holder blows and tongues but another plays the valves?. Right goes way under to finger left, left fingers center, center goes under to finger right.. did this in my high school wind ensemble because director said "its tradition" never saw it then or since, but we did it. It was freaking hard
