Honestly, when comparing this to the version posted by the HHS Band themselves, you can REALLY see just how big this performance was. Despite everyone sounding late, light moves WAY faster than sound will in a performance like this. That's why so many parts sound late in this footage but sound perfect in the final cut. It's honestly incredible that stuff like this is possible. I'm amazed that this is a high school group. As someone going into marching band next year, this honestly inspires me to go the extra mile and really try to add something to the band when I get there. Seeing a band that takes their marching and playing THIS seriously is honestly a huge inspiration. Cheers!

[@dylanhatton5178]

If I'm gonna have to play this in high school then I'm definitely gonna need to learn how to get a better embochure for high notes. Highest I can go is a high d, on rare occasion.

[@traftonstakes1553]

I wouldn’t get all twisted up about range. A D is higher than most high schoolers, your director wouldn’t ask you to play above C unless he knew you could

[@tko5019]

Also Hebron has much harder music than most schools so if ur not going to a top 10 school or so you shouldn’t have to play it

[@ryanregala948]

@dylan hatton I wouldn't necessarily say a better embouchure for high notes, since I think a good centered and consistent embouchure is key to playing in all ranges. If high notes are challenging, try to compress your air more, that way the air speeds up, as well as trying to use your vowels. But, I think the most important key is keeping a consistent air flow, and keeping a good tone. Range is not the most important thing, a great tone is most of it, while using your diaphragm to blow into the horn. To keep improving your range, raise your tongue and keep it in an arch when you use the vowels eee. Also, remember to stay as relaxed as much as possible, which in turn improves your playing overall. The trumpet is a challenging instrument, and going off with how you said "if I'm gonna...play this in high school," I can assume you are a middle school student.

[@levimccoy4127]

@@ryanregala948 HAHA my director has me playing a double b and my highest consistent range is a double g. I can hit double b but it pain

[@ryanregala948]

@@levimccoy4127 damn you can go up to a double G, so that means you can go above the g above the staff. That is actually impressive, not many young high school or middle school students could hit that unless if you are a screamer. Not even college kids, except for screamers again, can go that high. Well adult jazz musicians and maybe some of the players in dci could hit it. To get that upper range takes a lot of work, so if I were you keep up the good work.

It’s fairly obvious that their school system has wonderful teachers at the elementary and middle school levels as well, so they feed into the ensemble, plus these kids have a tremendous work ethic and when you hit this level the camaraderie of the group makes you want to play better and not let your friends down by sucking out.

Watching this video makes me very worried of what marching band is like. Hopefully I can get the hang of it but I’ll have to wait and see

[@takigan]

It's a process. A long process. Your first rehearsal will probably involve practicing just taking the first step. And you'll do that first step over and over and over until you do it right. Then you add more steps. Rinse and repeat. This video is what it's like at the peak of the mountain. But the only way to the top is one step at a time.

[@stephenbeck7222]

A couple things to remember: the guy playing has been practicing pretty consistently for probably 6-7 years so it’s not like he just woke up and could play like this. Secondly, this band has built a culture for years of people working hard and performing as an ensemble. Finally, to even get the show to this point they have probably had a couple months of double digit hours a week of practice on both the music and the drill. Lots of hard work to put something great on the field.

Na scratch that I just tested the highest i can play is D (line D)

[@levimccoy4127]

Long tones. Play long tones starting on g. Go up a half step and do that over and over again until you can’t do it comfortably without pressing. You don’t have to do every half step every day but time as you do it. It’s good to make good habits as you extend your range. Also try any scale type exercises such as Clarkes and any thirds. I also like to do my lip flexibilities to my max range. Find your max range with the long tones then go by that for the rest of the day. After you find it don’t attempt to play above it until the next day. Then do your lip flexibilities and all other practice accordingly.
