Horse neigh was bloody perfect! Even better than some professional bands.

[Time-yomw]

I love hearing the bells desperately trying to keep the group from rushing but the horns and flutes are having none of it lol

[meamcomorod]

I love their combined tone. They’re both so different but they sound amazing together.

[trevortorres]

I'm a music teacher and I would love to show this video to my band students on how to properly watch a conductor. You guys cool with that?

[KateOBrienMMEd]

NICE JOB!! (And the “horse whinney” at the end was perfection.) As a brass & woodwind teacher for 33 years (and a musician who has played this piece about 13 times), you can trust me when I say you did an outstanding job. You weren’t just good technically - you played it MUSICALLY! Keep it up. The worldwide tribe of musicians is happy to have you among us!

[PrestonFrankel]

Saw this in my recommended and was convinced it had at least over a million views, has that feel to it, great performance guys

[cravest]

I swear every other school's band always has people that look like they're college students-adults lol

i cant tell if bro on the right is about to laugh or cry

2:10 is insane to do! Amazing work!! I love playing this song.

I was so impressed with how well you guys watched the conductor. The tone quality was pretty darn good and you guys did really good with dynamics. All of that was very impressive. All of you guys were truly one unit.

The horse trumpet player is absolutely going places

[hansisahorcrux]

i don’t play trumpet nor am i in band anymore (graduated high school 3 years ago) but this brings back so many memories of christmas rehearsals and holiday concerts. i wish my band and i did these videos back then. u 2 sound great AND THAT NEIGH WAS THE BEST IVE EVER HEARD

[jordanwright]

unpopular opinion: all of the trumpets need to do the horse whinny at the same time

and nice performance

[amomentinmusic]

I am a band director as well and I have to say that your tone, attention to articulation, and dynamic contrast is exceptional! Keep playing! Truly talented musicians!

[KoolKat_YT]

The fact that it's way past Christmas and your music still got stuck in my head shows how amazing you are.

Edit: Mom I'm famous

[suzannadannaTARDIS]

I've been on a kick of watching Sleigh Ride and have probably seen 100 of these videos. You two are the unequivocal best of the trumpets. You're focused, you nail the tone, and it was a pleasure to watch you as you are intentional in playing well.

[BanditFlashpoint]

EPIC HORSE NEIGH!!! Perfect for 2023 after Thanksgiving.

[clareniekamp]

Seriously, this sounded so freaking good, this is why I love the sound of a trumpet

[madisonnapier]

as a fellow trumpet TRUMPETS STAN Y'ALL SLAYED

[ESquadProductions]

Man this bring back memories. Used to play trumpet back in high school and had a Christmas concert playing Sleigh Ride as well. Keep up the great work guys. Trumpets represent! 💪🏼
