I love that even though they are all high ranked military you can still tell that they were all band nerds. Except my boy Thaddeus, they needed a bassoon player and when they asked him if he could he had already mastered it just in case he was needed to through sheer concentration,

I’ve only just come across this video and found it quite entertaining and knowledgeable. I’m from across the Pond and served 19yrs in the British Army as a musician/paramedic. I started off on the flute/piccolo but as most military musicians moved onto learning other instruments like the piano/keyboards, percussion (yes that’s me on the big bass drum in my pic) plus all members of the saxophone family with the tenor sax being my favourite. If people are thinking about joining a military band I would definitely recommend it as you’ll widen your knowledge of music, will get to travel to many interesting places and countries, play at some of the biggest public events and last of all you’ll get to also have a great social life, although you might not get many evenings or weekends free, you’ll definitely make up for it at other times. I’ll be looking forward to watching more of the videos you guys have produced.

I play bass clarinet, Bb clarinet, and tenor saxophone, I’d love to learn more instruments as well. This video was fairly good, I already knew most of it since there common instruments, except there’s no oboe or bassoon in any of the school bands in my area (Not the US). Though I already knew a little about double reed instruments because I love learning more about instruments and I’d love to get the opportunity to learn how to play dozens of more instruments. I love how as soon as the trombone player started taking about a powerful passage I thought ‘oh probably star wars’ then he said you’ll probably recognize it then I was like yep definitely star wars and it was. Then the tuba player said a recognizable song and I was thinking Mario and it was. Good demonstration of all the instruments and fabulous playing as well!
