Fabulous

Magnífica interpretación y muy valiente por parte de músicos tan jóvenes. La pianista bien empastada en su función de acompañar y llevar todo el peso de la pieza.

Damn. That was a BLISTERING pace

I love seeing them do this on cornets. It’s a shame that cornets became beginner instruments until kids “graduated” to a trumpet. Now I don’t think kids play them at all - pretty much just brass bands.

75 years ago

I'm pretty sure this should be Ogden Utah, not "Okten".

Wonerful, wonerful, wonerful. When I saw they were from Okten Utah I knew it must be the Lawrence Welk show.

Bravo

O---G---D---E---N, UT....Mr. Welk's inflection and accent provides the pronunciation.. there is NO "OKTEN, UT."

In the 50s and 60s i used to watch the Wonderful Lawrence Welk Show every week. I think he meant Ogden, Utah. This was one of many great miniatures composed by Leroy Anderson.

Best thing I ever saw on Lawrence Belch.

OGDEN UTAH --- You gotsta translate for LW 🤠

It is spelled Ogden , not Okten .

I love this. My grandpa is David Blackinton. He’s still playing his horn. Great video

Yes, in my youth TV was black and white and everyone made fun of Lawrence Welk. I wonder what ever happened to these fine young men.

Phenomenal

That would actually be Ogden Utah.

Excellent! The piano too!

WELL DONE!!! that deserved a standing ovation, wow 2 17 yr olds a 1 18 yr old, outstanding!

Could this happen today, not sure, hope so...

I prefer this to the orchestral versions

man, you guys flat out kicked *ss! Can people from Utah say *ss? Unbelievable job for three kids 18 and younger. Nowadays you'd be playing with the Blue Devils DCI Corps. I'm guessing at least 2 of you went on to careers in music?

I just noticed that the bass player was also playing during this song!

This was hands down the hardest song I've ever learned how to play in my life. Double and triple tonguing notes is HELL to learn. Learning this song has made me cry from frustration more than any other song I've played

Out......standing!!

Even the pianist had world class timing.

Okay, I loved this. Amid the virtuosity of these 3 young men did anyone notice the pianist. I loved that part too.

This is excellent! On par with the Rafael Mendez rendition.

Nice and clean double-tonguing, but I hate the way they played at piano volume at a the two double-tongue parts that should've been played at forte. BTW, Welk had major problems reading his TelePromTer--and I mean MAJOR! I mean, how hard can it be?

Certainly the trumpet-playing Castlemain boys that went to Bonneville HS have to be related to the accompanist.

Wonderful Lawrence Welk had a very definite accent. I understand why it sounded like "Okten" but trust me, we merry band of locals call it Ogden. These three young men were students of the amazing Faye Hansen, I'm sure. Thanks for sharing this!

Such a shame. A Wrong note at 2:35 Not that I could play it though.

Sure it's "Ogden" .....but Lawrence pronounced it as Okten so Okten it shall remain.

Could someone correct this title to read Ogden, Utah (not Okten, Utah)

Now this is what inspires me if anyone wants to know! And that lady playing piano is awesome!!!

David Blackinton was my trumpet prof at Univ of Delaware the late 70s. He went on from the time in the video to become the solo cornetist with the Univ of Michigan Symphony Band under William Revelli. He was hired at UD straight out of UM in 1965 and worked at UD until 1981 when he moved on to eventually become the Director of Bands at BYU and retired a few years ago. Besides being a gifted performer he was one of the best teachers with hundreds of competent students. This video is a hoot.

That gave Lawrence some kindling to light a fire under his own brass section... That was great!

Love them cornets, too!

Excellence! Thank you. THIS is how this piece is to be played! Great technical dazzle yet with great spirit. Now why doesn't PBS play clips like this??? Watch another fine performance of this piece; search Ted Mack Bugler's Holiday here on UA-cam.

You are absolutely right. The only reason 'Okten' is in the title is because Lawrence Welk's accent is so genuinely and uniquely him.

Ummm... He hasa pretty thick accent but I think he meant to say "Ogden". Weber Jr. College (now Weber State University) is in Ogden, Utah.
