[@waltertheus3467]

I'd give anything if my father were still alive to hear this. He played this piece in an Army band at the beginning of WW2, playing trumpet. He developed an infected upper lip, and switched to woodwinds. He then played the "Working on the Railroad" solo on the tenor sax. He was a heck of a musician and an oral surgeon. Me? Piano and lawyer.

[@BrassBrand]

Wow...I'm a South African trumpeter and I know this kind of quality playing will never be here, only in Europe and the United States of America. It is my dream to play on this level....RESPECT!!!!

[@TruckTaxiMoveIt]

Practice

[@mooiwiele]

Ek het al 'n hele paar manne gehoor wat absoluut skitterend speel... Seënwense!

[@tromboneman4517]

Practice! You can do it.

[@forgivengamer8381]

It doesn’t matter where you’re from. Everyone can be an excellent player with practice and dedication.

[@hevillepeacefoot8647]

Have you not heard of China

[@marcbaetens3250]

That piccolo trumpet is something else, wow

[@binderbone]

from this group, now principal trumpets of Indianapolis, Atlanta, and Toronto symphonies.

[@justinbonz]

did some fact checking and only the principal trumpeter for Atlanta ever spent time studying at Northwestern. Toronto guy has been in that position since 1999 and Indy guy went to school in Cleveland

[@justinbonz]

The Toronto associate trumpeter was in this group though

[@binderbone]

firstly, notice that the comment was from 2 years ago... 2 years ago, check who was the principal of Indy. Secondly, yes, I meant the associate principal of Toronto. Thirdly, if by "spent time" you mean earn a Master's degree, then yes.

[@binderbone]

and in the past two years, from this group the 4th trumpet of Baltimore

[@justinbonz]

The Indy head trumpeter has been there for 3 years. So even though you posted the comment 2 years ago it was still incorrect

[@06musicislove]

This is why I hope music never gets pulled from the education system. That was brilliant!

[@nicholashewett979]

Unfortunately, there are a ton of districts that have extremely under funded programs or no music at all. I couldn't imagine that having been someone that graduated high school because of the music program.

[@surisc3503]

Their sound is absolutely amazing! It makes me proud to be a trumpet player 👏🏻

[@ryanfrancisco179]

CookieCrewGaming don’t really why you need anyone else playing to make you feel proud playing a trumpet. i mean hell, we all play the greatest instrument ever made, what else is there to be proud about?

[@prstudios3256]

@@ryanfrancisco179 Uhhhhh, I think you might want go to hospital since you said "we all play the greatest instrument [trumpet] ever made". Go quickly! You have no time to spar. P.S. This is a joke btw.

[@Emanuel-zr7du]

@@ryanfrancisco179 I dont think so euphonium and german Tenorhorns /Baritones are way more beatiful than a trumpet

[@MIGASHOORAY]

Just enjoy your music ,always somebody better ALWAYS SOMEBODY WORSE .PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT. I PLAYED FOR 15 years emigrated to australia at 21 yo and hardly played trumpet again now at 75 yo just listen and look at my old trumpet my dad bought when i was 10 yo.

A brilliant performance by trumpet players . I never heard a better performance . A very talented musicians . . Sehr Gut . Danke .

[@frederickwise5238]

Now Im going to listen to it again. (and maybe again after that)

[@stevesanderson8360]

The most impressive aspect of this performance is the intonation.

[@mrbigg151]

Ahhh the memories. That's a challenging but fun piece. Great job!

[@topmcs]

wow, without a conductor, that's amazing

[@TruckTaxiMoveIt]

There were times at which a conductor could have helped.

[@emilyashburn1]

it;s hard to find just one person who plays like this, much less a whole group of people!

[@oldschooldrumcorps]

Reply to your comment is way late, but try listening to Drum Corps international or DCI here on YT. You'll hear excellent playing at the level performed here in ways you'll be surprised.

[@isaiahm99]

This is amazing. The sounds and tones are so crisp and clear.

[@joseantoniofranciscomartin3332]

Poeta y aldeano. Magnifico arreglo. Buenos trompetas

[@polenc7167]

What amazing versatility from the trumpet: bold assertive, ferocious or tender as a kitten. And this piece although crass is charming and so loveable. Doesn't it just make you want to get up and cheer.

[@danshepler9933]

[@MatthewPurvisMotivationMatt]

Flugel solo is AMAZING!

[@Ruigekerel]

Matthew Purvis sounds like a bad trumpet imo. Should sound a light lighter and warmer.

[@ianian2425]

Ruige Verfaillie you don’t know what your talking about lmao, flugel kid has great chops

[@miningsquidsbadcontent8188]

The backing arpeggios made it the best part of the whole performance.. even if there was a black screen and one cracked note

[@eddarby469]

I couldn't help but hear "I've been Working on the Railroad" in the solo.

[@bryancarrillo9722]

ONE OF THE BEST PERFORMANCE I've seen

[@velo3374]

I remember playing this song when i was im all region orchestra!😍 poet and peasant overture has to be one of my fav classical songs.. 2nd trumpet!

[@RichJ_youtube]

Really impressive virtuosity and musicality! Bravo guys!

[@Amusiclover1954]

Don't know where you all are now Gentlemen, but your performance here is timeless! Near perfection. Disregard the naysayers who believe they know something about music. I know you practiced this piece numerous times and it shows in your performance. It is certainly not easy standing in front of an audience and being judged for any minor error. I know because I did it. I didn't play trumpet because I wanted to win an award or a competition. I played it because I loved it. I took it up in the seventh grade and played for 9 straight years. I was the principle trumpet in 9th grade and 12th grade and then 3 years in the military. At the age of 69, I still love music like I did when I was 12. This performance brought back so many memories but the main reason I love it is because it is a superb demonstration of technical skill which can only be achieved by dedication and love for the instrument. All 8 of you worked together as a team to highlight the beauty of this piece and your own technical skills. You can be proud of what you did and your performance stands as a testament to what hard work and dedication to your craft can achieve. Thank you.

[@7143travis]

Wow...this is beyond amazing.

[@tyerker]

If the Northwestern trumpet studio teaches anything, it's the perfect combination of musicality and consistency. Butler and Geyer will be missed in the future, I'm sure.

[@thomassicard3733]

I love Barbara and Charlie. Lucky for me, they are both at Rice University in Houston and play in the HGO orchestra. That's a good band! They sound like God on Verdi stuff. And as to the "musicality and consistency" that they both teach/coach/demonstrate so well?... I played French horn in the Paragon Brass Ensemble from its inception and for 6 years. Adam Bruce was one of our trumpeters and he was also Principal Trumpet of the Houston Ballet Orchestra at that time, as well. Awesome guy and musician! Yeah!... He studied with Barbara Butler at Eastman for his BMus and then with James Austin at UofH for his MMus. Adam could rock the casbah!! In fact, he is my inspiration now that I too play trumpet. A quote from the BBC series Red Dwarf just popped into my mind - had to snicker!!! "What a guy!"
