[@brennanruiz1803]

I am a simple man. I hear good brass chords, I hit like.

[@Jekkin]

Saw you yesterday at Allentown. We passed by each other, I said your name, and we exchanged hellos. It was a golden moment for me, thank you.

[@9f4]

Lucky lad

[@acornjr.4505]

That is so cool!

[@BurningParadox12]

That is cool. I met him at WIBC 3 years ago when he was the soloist there

[@CharlesCornellStudios]

Hell yeah dude

[@jacobname4310]

Charles Cornell love your work man!

[@guest1658]

This 1 dislike is from Christopher because without dislikes video looked too perfect

[@danielschoenherr6027]

Me and some buds are playing this song for Solo and Ensemble. Sidney did a great job with this composition!

[@thiemofischer2230]

Wow. So energetic.

[@Capricegirl_]

Your channel deserves so much more attention. I strive to be as good as a trombonist as you.

[@Blansit59]

This is amazing this inspires me as a trombonist and I just wanna say if you cannot understand how crisp and clear he sounds well idk where your ears are. Amazing man keep doing what your doing.

[@okaymarcel9273]

Chris, your tone. Geez is it noticably more open than ever before. Whether that be through your great playing technique or great software, good job!

[@ajott3138]

Best part: 0:00 - 6:40

[@bugballs8823]

Pretty dope

[@SauloTubistaCabreuva]

Trombone and Tuba ♥️

[@ellamoellano]

I get to play this tomorrow for solo and ensemble and I'm so excited!

[@shapeofsoup]

This is amazing. Also I just checked out your album. “Smile” literally brings a smile to my face. It’s so charming and entertaining and catchy and I love it.

[@Meister1551]

Wonderful Piece. You are not only an exceptional player but an outstanding person for giving of your time and efforts to promote great trombone playing and help educate the world about top quality music. I too play trombone and come from a family of professional trombone players and professional musicians. I am the fourth generation of professional musicians in my family and my daughter who lives and works in NYC is a professional opera singer and vocal teacher.

[@omaroliblish]

Much enjoyed this. Love your encouraging of composing. Thanks!

[@x0cx102]

amazing composition! :)))

[@jefferyneu3915]

AMAZING!

[@T-Slider]

Awesome!

[@bugballs8823]

Like holy shit that bass trombone

[@bugballs8823]

@@sidneyraabe6252 hey! Do you write arrangement sheet music? Because I would love a jazz big band arrangement for Moon Hooch's new single Give Yourself To Love. Of course I wouldn't expect it to be free btw

[@bugballs8823]

@@sidneyraabe6252 well thanks for the reply anyway!

[@Dj265Nav]

Come on people. Almost 3000 views and only 345 likes. This is great music, both the arrangement and the playing. We need to show the love and hit the like button.

[@danielm17]

Ur a god

[@peterhogarty5741]

Great music and playing makes it come alive

[@coolman1724]

Congrats on the competition peace

[@carstenkrone9525]

The best thing i have ever heard on your channel.

[@martinsknets1908]

The whole middle part from 2:17 to 3:40 sounded like something from the Lord of The Rings or Hobbit to me. This whole piece could be orchestrated and very well used in a movie, in my opinion.

[@AT-wo1ri]

Love this.

[@terib4386]

Loved it! Should be in a movie. Reminded me of Star Wars at times. Beautiful!

[@nyan-8_8]

I really like your sound !!! 🥰🥰

[@LeonardoAT87]

You play amazing the trombone

[@kaidensmith1150]

And also very nice

[@JohnMcKooney]

this is truly incredible! such talent, immediatly subscribed

[@4x4for2]

Really an amazing Arrangement, epic sound. Well done.

[@maarttinnnnn]

Good ranked on the list

[@mrbigg151]

Smh the first 0:33 was enough to keep your ears wanting more. Sounds like a video game soundtrack or somethin

[@ikeeichenberg9068]

I hope I'll have some better luck this year

[@gilbertiglesiasjr9251]

Nice music piece

[@samhines7126]

Nice work buddy

[@Nyan1012Aj]

I Really love this!

[@cameronplaystrumpet6777]

Ugh I’m not home and I have so many ideas, I’m going to have to mess around with Garage Band or something haha. Can’t wait to participate this year!

[@jigjamz]

I like this better than the 1st Place’s composition.

[@samjohnstone1335]

Currently living for an endgame breakdown now that it’s on digital. I’m saying the best one yet!

[@classicaltrombone]

I need to gather my emotions before I do that.

[@omaroliblish]

I would really like to be able to hear all the pieces this year and to have them all together for access....

[@moritzmetzler9377]

Awesome video! Could you make a Video about your method to record the tracks? I always wonder how you nail them so perfectly in time.

[@celestegarcia2581]

chris can u please make a video on teaching us how to play piano on trombone the easiest because i cant do that

[@estudiomotivar734]

muito bonito

[@mitsususushigamer1032]

The first 2 seconds sounded so similar to zelda I had to go recheck the title

[@matthewbartley8326]

I was thinking phantom of the opera kinda when I went back to listen

[@flover8070]

I like it😁😁

[@dylansmith8215]

Does the shop still work to buy it?

[@sethebrown]

Can we create an Electronic Accompaniment to go with our entry? I've got a cool idea for a piece for Trombone Octet and Electronics.

[@classicaltrombone]

Would love it!

[@Arjun-jq1wx]

Hey will you be at midwest this year? My high school full orchestra is going and it would be absolutely amazing if I could see you there. Also could we expect scv 2018 closer with antonio cabrera anytime soon?

[@bugballs8823]

Dude you should totally do more jazz and improv you sound so good when you do

[@kcwalkman]

Amazing sounds! But you sure know how to play that trombone too. Thanks.

[@BassboneNelson]

You should play song for japan the trombone quartet

[@boomberry7546]

phat

[@waldopeez6366]

Yo, you should play Fly Me To The Moon

[@cameronroxby7140]

hot damn

[@Byrdi]

This is *Pretty Epic*, if I do say so myself.

[@pabloyt1786]

Maní pasa las partes soy trombonista

[@ajbreakey1204]

Could you do brand new numb by motionless in white?

[@vubuendia8892]

Rn I don’t have slide grease on my trombone and my trombone sounds kinda airy. Does having slide grease make a difference in sound?

[@StripeMain11]

Do a revenge cover by captain sparkles

[@wezajamison-neto1905]

What's the soft ware you use for split videos?

[@TomW2034]

The composition was awesome. The final mix (range accentuation, reverb) not so much. I listened to the 1st place winner again after this and would be thrilled to hear Sidney's effort mixed differently. Just an observation - you continually impress me.

[@thenatundi9009]

Favorite part had to be at 3:47

[@steelframe17]

Can you do Wagon Wheel by Darius Rucker next?

[@Squoski93]

Here's a question: Any advice? I've been arranging for years and only really (unsuccessfully) tried my hand at composing a couple of times. So any tips?

[@wysper3691]

Matt Cheek hey I compose a bit too. My advice is to definitely learn music theory, scales, chords, and how notes interact and compliment each other. Also listen to your favorite style of pieces and or songs to get inspiration. Also, I think the biggest advice is to always work on it. I mean with practice...never stop practicing. Also don’t worry if it doesn’t sound perfect, just keep practicing your composing!

[@jnsk1a2b3c]

Love the sound of the tenor trombone! What make/model is it?

[@professorseverustobiassnap1566]

Bach 42

[@darnellhinton3306]

How do you combine your videos like this?

[@ericchico5614]

What's the song from ITF this year?! The youth workshop is waiting!

[@Aperson-gt9xd]

Whatever it is I’m sure it will be epic

[@nickzalan4762]

I thought it was Portals from endgame, which was already uploaded to the channel

[@ericchico5614]

@@nickzalan4762 No we did Portals in the youth workshop, (which was sooo much fun) But he told us that he was doing another song with some professionals but he didn't say what yet...

@@ericchico5614 ohh okay, well whatever it is, good luck

[@rwooosh1929]

Christopher, I need help, every time I play Low Bb (not pedal) I have the bubbling sound from my trombone

[@rwooosh1929]

Sidney Raabe ok but why is it only when I play Bb?

[@rwooosh1929]

Sidney Raabe ok thank you very much but could this be a emboucher problem?

[@connor_phillipz5689]

About 3 minutes in I got some serious Star Wars vibes.
