This is so awesome!! Bet Shostakovich wishes he’d scored it like this.

Terrific arrangement, and a great performance!

I'm very fond of this piece because I played it in high school band (arrangement in Bb) and in a community orchestra (original in A). The soaring solo about 2:20 is played by cello in the original, and trumpet in the band arrangement. It's a lot more fun to hear on trumpet. And I look forward to playing it on trombone, in my trombone ensemble.

What’s so beautiful to me is not only the music, but the fact that you guys are such good friends that you not only work together, but also produce amazing content like this together. Wish I found your channel earlier!

Those pedal tones are just bonkers. Well done, gentlemen.

As a former trombone player ( 15yrs) I am very impressed. Fantastic

Oh my! Incredible! How did you play those passages? Double or triple tonguing? That sounds really hard!

Wow, they made the first part of the commandant’s own marching drum and bugle corp’s 2022 show into a real song!
