Bluecoats 2016 TRUMPET SOLOIST SUPERCAM - Ben Gunnarson

Take lessons with me online! There are plenty of spots open and I teach all ability levels. Click here: docs.google.co...
Trumpet soloist Ben Gunnarson performing his role in the Bluecoats 2016 world championship-winning production, "Down Side Up" at the encore of the Drum Corps International World Championship Finals, with additional footage from DCI finals week rehearsal at Indiana Wesleyan University.
I compiled both videos into one so I could capture as much of what was happening as possible. What an awesome drum corps career... 2013, '14, '15, and 16' will be some of the most memorable summers of my life. I'm so lucky to have aged-out with this incredible show! All comments are welcome.

Ben, you are why i auditioned for drum corps. Your drive and spirit pushed me to audition for the '17 season. Now I'm spending my rookie year with Guardians. Thank you for being an inspiration to young musicians everywhere, you have no clue the huge effect you have on the music world as a whole.

Revisiting this head cam after three years gives me a special type of sweet and sour fuzz. Downside Up was my introduction to the amazing world of drum corps, especially this video amongst the collection of many others. Hearing the ballad moved me beyond belief. As an eighth grade, I thought that I’d never have the opportunity to march drum corps because I’m a clarinet player. Recently, I joined my first corps as a junior on baritone and looking back at this gave me hope for a bigger future in drum corps. I can’t believe how far I’ve come, and I’d like to give some credit to this. Thank you to all the performers out there that have overtaken me, it has been the utmost pleasure to shape who I am through you

This is so awesome to watch. I'm 13 and I want to audition for drum corps when I'm older because I have discovered the blue coats. My school lets 8th graders march up in our marching if they are good enough. ( I had to audition.) I was super lucky to have made it in and it lit a flame in my heart. I love to play trumpet, and I practice for hours every day. its practically in my blood, ( my mother, father, and sister all play/d trumpet) and I was always jealous of my sister because she was so good. she was the main soloist at our school and was considered a legend ( she was GOOD.) I was always just seen as her little sister, ( until she quit.) this video has inspired me to be part of the blue coats when I'm older, loved the video your awesome! Edit: heyo guys it’s been awhile. Dreams still going good, at the moment I’m seventeen and heading into my senior year. I’m mostly focused on getting into music school at the moment for music education and trumpet performance, but I’m also back in the swing of marching since band is back. (Stupid COVID) my plans to audition are still there but will probably not be put into place untill Next year because I’m just too busy to go to audition for drum core this year and have plans for next summer. Buttttt after next summer when I’ve got into a good collage I’m for sure going to audition. I even have a few friends who want to come along as well. That’s the plan for now. :)

Succ Me dude screw off you think you play high that means you are college level? Ben is pretty much a bit over college level and I guarantee you are not even close to being as good as him.

[@AlanGarcia-zv5fy]

Ben your crazy 😂I’ve watched this like 30 times you make me want to join drum corps so bad but it’s really expensive I just wanna experience being in a good band that actually plays loud with an amazing sound

[@baadach3752]

its expensive for e v e r y o n e bud, even for considerably rich people it's really tough to pop 3.5-5k out of nowhere... everyone works for it.

@@baadach3752 what? expensive things are not nearly as tough for 'considerably rich people' as they are for poor people. how are you going to act like money isn't relative?

[@baadach3752]

jared buchsbaum if you want something bad enough you will do whatever you can to get it. And i’m not talking about multi millionaires and up rich, i mean like around the millionares, i have friends who HATE spending money even though they have nice cars and a huge house and necessities, they save on everything they can still just because they value money and keep a tight budget, sure itd be easier than poorer people to pay it off but it wouldn’t just be like “eh ok heres 5,000$” you know?

Comrade Carter no offense but I highly doubt that, if you can you should be a trumpet professional (as long as you can play a legit triple g without pinching)

@@ianian2425 Yeah, I pinch and I know that, still can play them. Double c to e is my range where I don't pinch.

Well done with the editing. Oh, and I guess being the trumpet soloist on one of the best shows in the last 20 years

I play bass clarinet and have never really been too invested in what's going on with DCI, but this performance rocked my world when a friend showed me it. The sheer degree of energy and confidence is inspiring.
