0:44 He claims to have warmed up 50,233.5 times in 31 years; however, if you assume that one warms up once per day, he only could have warmed up 11,200 times (rough estimation taking into account leap years). However, if you make the assumption that one can warm up more than once a day, he would have warmed up 4 to 5 times per day. Food for thought.

The running and screaming helps the instrumentalist breath deeply which is crucial for producing that great big brass sound. It is also very necessary to kick something multiple times as this helps the player establish a good sense of time and rhythm before beginning to play. Trust me, I'm a brass player myself and am majoring in music at university. All good brass players warm up like this.

The most important part of warming up at region auditions is playing the highest note you possibly can to both wear out your lips and establish your dominance

Rolf's warmup is really weird. But yes as a trombonist I can confirm this is all 100% accurate no matter what band or orchestra you're in
@VampireAvianhybrid18 жыл бұрын
Even though my woodwind warm up usually consists of pointing, screaming, and the occasional group beat down on a trumpet, I think this whole video really shows how important warming up is to anyone in a band, really.

As a trombonist and member of my district's honor band in 2016, I can gladly report that the trombonist walking in front of the hornist at the end is literally me. Or the other trombone players in my band.

I've been trying that as my warmup for over three weeks now. My entire technique automatically modified itself after doing this. The kicks take a while to get the hang of, especially in the first two weeks, but it has a definite impact. Even spiritually and mentally, I'm a changed person. People instantly know me as 'that guy' now. Thanks Mike!
