I've been playing trombone since 1994. Only one word. As its blocked by the filter. I'll instead share a quote from a long passed trombone teacher. "There comes a time in any trombone player's life where they must attempt to strip paint off the wall. Once they have accomplished that personal discovery, they must choose. Did they like it? Or did it scare them? After that discovery lies the heart of our instrument's beauty as the herald of the middle." This young one has made paint scared.

This is no doubt the greatest trombone playing I have ever seen.

I don’t know how to explain, but this just ignites something in me that gives me life.

[@papersacrifice]

​@@vhscopyofseinfeld Really dude,really??? This is "wtf" worthy for you?? Are you *really* that surprised that someone isn't all that well versed in classical music? *Sigh*, You may want to sit down for this next bombshell......that's *most* people under 60. Crazy I know!!! Especially since the only time the average person is likely to ever even hear some is during the soundtrack for a movie (50% chance that some dickhead "artist" used it in a re-mix ). You think anyone regularly listens to it on the radio? Well they don't. Even if they wanted to, it's 50/50 on whether there's even a station that plays it, and even if there is, then it's an AM channel and nobody knows how the fuck that even works. It's even less likely if the person isn't black (or African American...no offense intended to anyone ) and/or from a non-musical family and they don't play an instrument themselves. I guess what I'm trying to say is, anyone that actually does "listen to enough" , is what people like to refer to as an "outlier".

You’re absolutely right. I definitely want to highlight as many people as I can. I just love music and passion in music.

[@rusaccord]

I played trombone for 6 years in school. I picked it because everybody else picked trumpet, sax, or percussion, and I thought the slide was cool. Band was just another class and I went through the motions until I joined jazz band on a whim. There was something to the feel of the music and the unconstrained possibilities of the slide. Junior year of high school, I played first part, so the band director wanted to funnel me into the marching band. Marching practice overlapped with jazz band, so it was one or the other. I picked jazz. The director went to the administration and got me booted from jazz band, telling me "you're going to march." I said no. He put me on 4th part and I spent the last two months of the school year playing nothing but whole notes. When the year ended, I quit and haven't picked up an instrument since then. Twenty years later, I'm here, listening on a loop, crying because this man's music reminded me of how I felt the first time I got to improvise a solo. Gonna go did out my old King and see if we can feel something good together again.

Embouchure strength to play this clean and loud for this long is next level. He crushed his solo, the ensemble crushed the foundation.

Well it’s Christmas morning, and I’m now ready to run through a brick wall. This kid is absolutely unbelievable.

Teacher: you can’t vibrato a trombone This dude: hold my beer

[@ExhaustedPeanut]

I'm literally crying because of this, as a musician this feels so fucking good and so wonderful to watch

[@big-ice-doggie-tron879]

no exaggeration... just got goosebumps all the way up my arms & down both legs. there was SO much emotion coming out of that trombone!

[@That1Guy7890]

What ever he was feeling in that moment.. He has shared with us all. Music is such a raw expression. Thank you for sharing

[@deandrepatterson9610]

It's crazy! He so specific! Musicians know he was in his bag!! Lol That came from somewhere! 😂 I think he came from Heaven, stepped down here for a second to show us how it's done correctly! And left! Lol

[@cherishachenelle2212]

If you were in band, you know how hard it is to play from the stands. This is so powerful, and it speaks volumes of these musicians!!! I am unashamed of how many times I have replayed this clip! ❤❤❤

[@DyKoreArtAppreciation]

Honestly my favorite part about high school bands are the parents and audiences reactions like “DAMN!!!! That’s badass” or they’re in awe.

[@drilonkennedy-gorne2049]

I've never seen so many trombones in one place. My lil trombonist heart is so so pleased

[@Slayermarth101]

This makes me miss marching and I wasn't even a Trombone player, I was a drummer 😭😭 Take me back

[@thegreenrocket]

fucking incredible. that kid just lived one of his best moments

[@Kid.Poker33]

Music knows no race but that being said.... The black community has some of the best music to ever grace this planet. Unreal performance.
