The way the trumpet player plays that melody straight up makes me cry

[tonywaller]

Live brass playing at it's finest. Octaves with the piccolo trumpet? Brilliant!

Wow, I can’t explain to you all in words —let alone in text—how special this video is to me. This year was my senior year of high school, and our music for the first movement of our marching band show was based solely on this piece; that by itself makes the music meaningful to me. I was doing homework when I first heard this video auto play as it was recommended by YouTube, and since the very beginning of it sounds exactly like the alto sax solo in our show, I thought I was overhearing a recording of one of our performances. When I learned it was this video playing, I stopped everything to listen to it, and I was amazed by how high of a level of musicianship and recording I was hearing and seeing. That was 8 months ago in the same hour it was released. Now, our marching season has been over for months, I am about to graduate, and we just had our 2022 band banquet for all of members of the marching band, color guard, and their families, tonight. I am crying out of pure bitter sweetness listening to this because I have to leave this band, but the new spots made will be filled with kids who are inspired by music and want to become better musicians. I have a plan to teach and pursue music for the rest of my life because I don’t ever want to stop experiencing it. Please make more videos and keep performing because this is an example of how music moves people and brings joy in ways not possible without it.

Thank you, and much love from the United States.
