Lol

[@stevedickson4744]

I agree that the venue is disco - I&E in ‘78 was in the historic Central Park Boulder Bandshell - a lot more picturesque.

Man, If I played half as good as that in any low brass instrument I would be playing in a jazz, R&R or salsa band. Thanks for sharing.

ohhh!!! blastin offf nicee!!!!

[@lt_space_orange7486]

he is hammering his valves, or they NEED oiling, or both.

[@BKSledge]

+keenan lefevre That's a new one. The Brass Staff will usually have a ton of valve oil on them to keep the horns in working order.

[@RockstarDaniel]

+keenan lefevre Where did you march? Almost every single person in our hornline carried their own valve oil as well as there being a bag with extra parts and a ton of oil.

[@ajaychakraborty7357]

+Daniel R judging by his profile picture I'm guessing academy

[@krazychemist78]

lolwut?? methinks you are confusing valves with trombone slides. We always had valve oil and slide grease on hand and cleaned/oiled/greased our bugles/concert horns before every performance. He's hammering the valves down to maintain smoothness in his sound. Were you greasing your valves with Ponds and water?

[@joshuafuentes5411]

I'm pretty sure he's a trombone plauer

[@dylank4411]

Does anyone have sheet music for this, thinking of auditioning for a core with this piece!?!?!

I suggest auditioning for the Apple Drum and Bugle Core.

[@codered7293]

Jack Mclaughlin It's not, it's a marching euphonium

[@sylvanusweist3303]

Technically that's a bariphonium since it's system blue

[@charlesborlase2238]

looks more like a Schiller Elite Euphonium (marching). Tubes don't look like System Blue, and the lead pipe doesn't look like John Packer.

It can be, but once you get used to its weight, you're all set

I graduated high school 19 years ago, and I still have a big muscle on my right hand right below my pinky finger from holding this instrument. My pinky finger basically held it up for me

Horn angle doe

[@ABookForIlliterates]

FreezingGamer yeah... that's sloopy horn angle... but great sound..

[@DementedEeyore64]

His horn angle is fine. He isn't on the field, so theres no need for it to be straight out. You don't play straight out normally.

[@ABookForIlliterates]

DementedEeyore64 Haha the inner marching band in some of us just came out.

[@thattromboneguy317]

err..its bad practice to not keep it up. our band gets grand champ at most competitions we go to, and we always have our horns 10 degrees above parallel even during breathing warmups

Excellent. Why no third valve slide I wonder.

[@estebangonzales139]

Yeah very true. King-System Blue is weird

[@ThatOneRuskie]

They do have a third valve slide. The slide closest to his bell is the third valve tuning slide. I think you were confusing it with the main tuning slide that is being hidden due to his first valve tuning slide. If you go to 2:02 then you can see it hiding behind the first valve tuning slide.
