Bugler's Holiday

[@mellowbassman25]

Holy CRAP, that's fast!! I've NEVER heard it that FAST and that CLEAN!!

[@johnathandoe5357]

mellowbassman25 well to be fair it is the United States Army Band.

[@dschneck]

There is an amazing version on the James Burke Tribute page, with Jimmy Burke, Ray Crisara and John Ware, composer conducting. Very very fast! And also great.www.jfbcornet.com/#!music

[@mastacheifa1182]

And then there's always the Canadian Brass.

[@ruu165]

We played Bugler's in our 1st division school band in 186bpm :) I played 2nd solo trumpet

[@x.y.8581]

Speed isn't everything - rushing a piece takes away from the enjoyment of listening - every song has a correct tempo for playing - rushing it makes it nothing but a show rather than the enjoyable art form it is supposed to be.

[@hunter-fx3pg]

Just listening to this makes my tongue hurt.

[@hawxchampion523]

You should listen to Carnival of Venice then... ;)

[@xXIamClementine]

+Hawxchampion OMG I remember that song!!!! We had to play it like a year ago me being the best trumpet everyone depended on me it was tough

[@ParanoiaKeepsMeWake]

Hawxchampion think this is a little harder. Carnival is crazy but the double tonguing is generally only in the second and third variation with the first one being basically fast slurring and tone and the fourth being that crazy split effect. Of course, there are many versions of Carnival, the Vizzuti (Carnival of Venus) is borderline masochistic.

[@trumpetvideos4948]

Da'Joun Dotson carnival of venice is much much harder. All you need is double tounging (a fairly basic/intermediate level skill) and the song is a breeze.

[@thatphatkat6396]

Hawxchampion by Wynyon Marsalis! :)

[@Anahiem]

There can never be too many trumpets. :D

[@andrewblackmon3672]

YES THERE CAN P.s. trying not to dis your pride

[@rickflores1813]

agreed...

[@thomaselder2984]

No im pretty sure last time i checked there can never be too many trumpets

[@M1GYT]

Well that depends

[@hsedy2477]

It's called "Bugler's Holiday" so, PLAY IT ON BUGLES !!!

[@dr.doublelift3717]

This is what any trumpet player should strive to be.

[@6ECF01]

I remember listioning to this on the radio as a small child in the 50's.

[@bobjenkins6098]

Me too.

[@notvalidcharacters]

@@bobjenkins6098 Me three. What was it used for?

[@bonnieexists]

ok unc

[@lochinvar50]

Me four. In the late 50's, I always hear 2 guys practicing this music selection. I understand, one of them is currently a professor of music.

[@MikeWeiner]

Ladies and gents, it doesn't get better than that!

[@marilynslutsky4376]

We second that! Alan and Marilyn

[@srjiang4822]

or does it...

[@matthewm3]

of course, it's a U.S. military band.

[@patricksmith6706]

minus 0:54

[@MarilynCrosbie]

Too fast!

[@TromboneKH]

this is one of the greatest recordings of this piece that I've heard, and I've seen it live.

[@ItalianOrlando]

This brings back memories from playing this in band over 50 years ago!!

[@peggymcintosh6814]

When you're good, you're good. And when you're REALLY REALLY good, you're these folks! Bravo to the US Army Band!

[@harrysmoker4439]

This is meant as an exceedingly high compliment - LISTEN TO THOSE “BAND NERDS” GO! I can’t stop listening to this. Band Nerds Rule.

[@DMorgan72]

Yup. We do...or, we did. Playing this in high school was AMAZING!

[@allenrussell1947]

I haven't played that in over forty years.... Why do I still know every note?😂

[@raisethevibes719]

25 years here 🙋 and I remember every note aswell! 😆

[@stevencoffeen6684]

yes, me too. It was one of my favorites

[@joeybonin7691]

Good melodies stay with you.

[@jimhewitt8429]

I do as well triple toughing was the one thing I enjoyed playing this!

[@patriciahirsch8492]

Because Leroy Anderson was a genius.

[@bradengraham7291]

Those woodwind flourishes in the background are INSANE!

[@garybergfield8283]

This is by far the very best version of this song. Very well done.... Excellent

[@edd.9543]

I played this in our high school band many years ago. But we ain't never sounded like this! You have to "triple-tongue", which for obvious reasons here, is not an easy thing to do! This is the best I've ever heard it done.

[@Anonymous12465]

I LOVE THIS. AND I AM PLAYING IT IN A TRIO. THIS WILL BE DIFFICULT TO CONQUER.

[@kdhaws]

I loved hearing that! My mother bought me a trumpet when I was 8 years old when my dad was overseas in the Air Force. I played it until I was blue in the lips. I loved playing that horn. When I was 12 years old I played bugler's Holiday on a large family party. I'm sure it didn't sound much like that. :-) Thank you so much for posting. Fantastic!

[@mkshffr4936]

What is most amazing is how that many can articulate so accurately and precisely together. Bravo!

[@ccampbell1958]

Triple tonguing...amazing skill! My brother played this back in 1970 during his senior year in HS.

[@lyndanoker2320]

I grew up with brother that gone. he played Bugler's Holiday on his trumpet for our family It certainly touches my heart

[@LacrosseBoss]

Shoutout Jens Lindemann for bringing a cornet to a trumpet fight.

[@KIMKIJU-SAXOPHONE]

Very nice awesome great wonderful Thank you for the best footage I am a saxophonist in Korea And I was in the brass band of the Republic of Korea Marine Corps

[@TemplateUserNameSquad]

I've used this as my alarm tone for . . . I don't know how long now.

[@Miraculousfan-2.0]

I’ll be in playing this at my Christmas concert for band in December

[@trumpetparker9771]

i’m playing it with my two buddies for a contest

I played the trumpet in 2 different Drum Corps for a total of 25 years and I played the trumpet in elementary school , Junior High school , high school and I could never double tongue or triple tongue . Absolutely incredible . This is a tough act to follow .

[@ItalianOrlando]

What corps did you march with? 27th Lancers here.

@@ItalianOrlando When I was a kid from age 8 - 18 years old , I played in the Washington Park Drum Corps in Meriden , Connecticut , which was a Junior combination class Drum Corps and then from age 20 - 38 years old , I played in the Whip City Diablos Drum Corps in Westfield , Massachusetts , which was a Senior combination class Drum Corps .

[@ItalianOrlando]

@ Nice. I was in Purple Lancers 1974, Squires 1975-6, 27th Lancers 1977-88 and then on 27th’s staff from 1979-85. Came in 2nd at DCI in 1980 less than 1/2 point from Blue Devils. I miss those years.

[@patrickirwin1557]

Kudos! One of my favorite Leroy Anderson pieces and performed to utter perfection!

[@taitholloway6801]

Playing this for solo and ensemble as a trio. This is gonna be interesting

[@stephenjablonsky1941]

I enjoyed the fact that they were all in tune. Wonderful performance. Thank you Leroy.

[@hardlines4]

Another classic by the great LeRoy Anderson

[@jnbplaysgames]

Sleigh Ride. 😂

[@hardlines4]

JBGamer87 My favorite by him 👍🏼

[@joeybonin7691]

Fiddle Faddle.

[@nemo227]

I've always enjoyed hearing and watching trumpets and trumpet players. A dear good friend trumpet player died recently. We played many gigs together.

[@michaellyga4726]

Ling ling uses this as a double tonguing exercise in his spare time. He plays all three parts at the same time.

[@pogeman2345]

never expected a TwoSetter here holy shit

[@laurenspring1628]

Hello fellow Twosetters!

[@derekmichaelson4258]

Not possible.... no way he wouldn’t be playing the whole bands parts

[@mandyparkinson6316]

This is the song I listen to whenever I need to be cheered up. It is my "Happy Song."

[@donaldduke2233]

Brings back memories from when I could play that, but maybe not quite that well.

[@alantompkins4422]

A guy I traveled around the country with played this on his trumpet. Super foot stomping piece.

[@isaacaugustine2364]

I’ve always enjoyed playing this

[@tjchervy]

This is such a fun song to play - I did this multiple times in high school and have played all three parts. I still have my music.

[@EdWatts]

+tjchervy Yeah, well, when you can play all three parts simultaneously on three horns, give us a call. In the meantime, you might consider growing another arm. :-)

[@nelsonsunga5244]

one of my Father's favorite piece when he still alive. he also a trumpet player in the AFP

[@MarkBlackburnWPG]

A friend just shared a KZbin version of The Typewriter Song, by Leroy (Sleigh Ride) Anderson -- my favorite composer when I was two years old! I was crazy about that song -- and all his other unforgettable tunes, including his best-selling Blue Tango. And so many others -- one of my favorite waltzes, Belle of the Ball, The Waltzing Cat, Fiddle Faddle. And this -- maybe my favorite of them all Bugler's Holiday. First version offered at KZbin this day is this one: with over a million views, the U.S. Army Band. Goosebumps. At the speed it deserves to be played but almost never is! Note: around 1:40 they begin to accelerate the tempo. Impossible! Thanks 'Army' for sharing. Celebrated at [search] " Great Melody, Great Lyric, Great Rendition, Songwriting Workshop, Harmony Central "

[@tambrosia]

BRAVO One of the toughest pieces to ever play and then to play it so well with many musicians BRAVO

[@noelicoan8290]

I've been looking for this song for six years!!!! Thank god I found it!!!

[@Cracraguy]

Playing this in our band, it is truly a wonderful song, and even better when you put time into playing it.

[@traepederson6868]

….can’t get over that GIANT contrabass clarinet in the back!!!!

The first time I heard this was in our advanced concert orchestra in 1963. I loved it then. I love it now.

[@gailthomas2631]

One of my all time favorite songs.

[@makeminefreedom]

I've been trying to remember this tune for years. There was a Boy Scout or Boy's Club ad in the 60's that used this tune. Thanks for posting..

[@anthonyphillips7374]

I was introduced to this piece my freshman year of college

[@raikou8963]

This is wonderful music！

[@cameronmckee4231]

There is a trio of trumpet players (teachers) who play this every year at ISYM. I love it.

[@pamelar5868]

Absolutely wonderful!

[@user-rn1lb8sx2c]

I love this

[@gailmariage5318]

I love this song. My neighbor down the street, who got 1st chair in the Texas All State competition, played one part of this as a trio in HIGH SCHOOL band. It was a thrilling performance and, at the time, he was only in 10th grade. AMAZING. Love this performance.

I did this last year and I played third trumpet with a trio/tuba and piano. I want to do it again so much!!!!! This song is so much fun!!!!!!!!

[@edmarakovits6231]

Amazing -- that is some tongue action. Wow !! Hat's off to the military bands.

[@michaelarthur6271]

Tight! TERRIFIC BUGLING! A great presentation with a wide variety of horns played superbly. Thank you

[@VoodooDewey69]

I remember playing this in college a million years ago.

[@bkatz0218]

I think it’s funny that people think this is so hard. It’s just deceptive. We played this in college as a warm up. Played harder pieces in high school 😂. That being said, it’s nice and bright and clean. Love it.

[@fgbowen]

BRAVO!! THAT was outstanding!!

[@jenniferbate9682]

They can’t help racing as the piece progresses…. That triple tonguing is amazing guys!!

[@occashares]

I felt that too.

[@mikewigim4529]

Practicing this tune is how I learned the technique of double tonguing. It's been almost 50 years since I played it.

[@mrbigg151]

2:03 is just amazing! In middle school it was the first quartet I heard but it didn't sound nearly as fast or good.

[@Pyramidenweihe]

…..das wird immer jung bleiben , Wunderbar!!!❤❤

[@durangomcmurphy1529]

Masterful !! I played trumpet in the University Symphony at Florida State , this version is a GAS !!! Forget the cowbell , more TRUMPET !!

[@mattnash5771]

Just had to play Part 1 for this at an instrumental camp this week, so much fun! But also so tiring...

[@vance9612]

Try playing it at 150 bpm. That's what I have to do.

[@mattnash5771]

+Vance I did it at the speed they did in it in the vid...

[@Feather_Flight]

Sounds like 175 here?

[@carstenkjller6680]

Damn thats the speedrecord, I’ve never experienced it played so rocketing fast. Like the 1 minute walse played in few seconds.

[@simonkawasaki4229]

It should be worth mentioning that Leroy Anderson served for the navy...

[@tilt261]

凄ぇ　ぱねぇ　ラスト圧巻！！

[@BruceTheSillyGoose]

brought a tear to the eye. 😪😎coulda been some herald trumpets out front for extra drama ;)

[@georgewilson6922]

First song I ever played; along with the Stars and Stripes Forever that taught me all about double tonguing!!!

[@RayKenyon7]

Hi Ray B. Brings back memories of East Intermediate. They make the fast tempo look easy!!!

Legalább 15 féle feldolgozását hallottam - szerintem ez a legjobb! I've heard at least 15 kinds of processing - I think this is the best!

[@1PITIFULDUDE]

Brilliant 💕🎺 Thank you for your service and thank you for sharing your passion 💪

[@gebob43]

I played Bugler's holiday as 1 of 4 soloist with Valley Counsel Drum and Bugle Corps in Appleton, WI

[@mikegallant811]

In case some folks don't know this piece of music this beautiful piece of music gained a lot of Fame as the theme music for the quiz program"As Schools Match Wits" that premiered on and ran on WWLP channel 22 here in Springfield Massachusetts for many years and which is now on WGBY channel 57 which is the PBS affiliate here in Springfield Massachusetts.

[@deanguy66]

If you grew up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in the 1950s, this piece brings back special memories. ;^)

[@clairethran7512]

Dean Milano I did ( well, Pardeeville) but it doesn't. I was 7

[@deanguy66]

Claire Thran It was the opening theme song for a TV show called The Sunday Comics. This would've been in the mid-late 1950s.

[@clairethran7512]

Dean Milano If I remember correctly, we did have a television but only received WISC out of Madison. We moved to Alabama 1958-1959. Sounds like fun

Three days of having this in my high school's Wind Ensemble, and the trumpets can play it perfectly at 3/4 the original tempo.

[@dalemaria11]

From an english brass band soprano player...nice! Extreamly well controlled!😁

[@f.danielporter2592]

I cannot believe how tight each note was with all these trumpeters playing. There is not an even a slight deviation between them and all the time double tonguing. Talk about guys that just want to make perfect music. These guys are pro’s.
