@@brayden6158 yah, I bet grasping that small of an object causes the hand to start to get finger bending problems. Not even viagra will save them, I mean not even an easily sensitive jingle bell will save them.
Ngl, I’ve played sleigh bells for a song like this before and it was extremely fun- considering most auxiliary perc parts have MASSIVE amounts of rest, it’s refreshing
You guys sound so amazing because I know trumpet isn’t the easiest instrument and literally hearing the trombone behind you two did a amazing job you all should be very proud of each other
Lmao we happen to play the exact same instruments! I agree with trumpet being the most difficult out of them all, I can barely get 2 octaves of range on trumpet.
Great job guys! I’m in my mid-fifties and still play the trumpet a fair amount. This took me back to high school-- we played this exact arrangement for all four years. I still have it memorized after all these years. Great job on the horse whinny at the end, too! You made me grin from ear to ear.
I just started this piece this year as a trumpeteer and I had to learn the horse whinny. It sure is fun to do but for the life of me I can barely even do it
@@motifity3416 it appears the guy doing the whinny is partially depressing/feathering the 3rd valve. I think when I did it, I halfway depressed all three valves and then feathered them
For how old this concert band arrangement is, I'm surprised how common it is. In my band we use the originals from the mids 50s. They are full of notation from many generations of player and have many holes, but the music is readable enough. Amazing performance the both of you and the bells behind you.
Yes is like a Classic tbh, even for me being a HS Grad of ‘21. I played this for 4 years straight throughout High School Band loved it, very Worth learning & playing over again. But I still play it on my Alto Sax til this day as a Fun Christmas Song whenever. But so True.
In all my years playing this, I had no idea the trumpets actually take a backseat in so much of this piece. Trumpets are usually the foreground of things! Of course the trumpet really gets to shine at the end with the horse. One time in a band, we had the entire trumpet section do the horse sound. I think it was great.
String player here, so I can’t adequately judge, but this is the most crisp and articulate I’ve ever heard trumpet players tbh. Some good stuff and mad respect! 👍🏾
Bro this takes mad skill for recording during a concert!!! Not only are you guys looking so sharp with those bow ties but that horse was honestly spot on and I have never heard better👌 Very well done!
I love this because it shows people the different parts bands play. It's not all the melody. Sometimes it's harmony, sometimes it's something completely different. (I was a bass clarinet player in high school.)
I know what you mean. I used to play bass in my school orchestra. The first violin section was completely opposite of me, so I heard pretty much everything better than the melody. As a result, watching the videos my parents took of concerts was a unique experience.
From another trumpet player I just have to say that, that was an amazing performance. The tone from both of you was so clean that I thought you two were in college, but I was genuinely shocked to see this was high school. Keep it up cause I know that both of you can definitely be something great in the future
In my band the low brass dominates the band, the trombones dominate the band, I dominate the trombones! Im a trombone player with massive lungs and good sound, but damn some of the underclassmen are good af ngl. If they see this, i just wonna say you guys are good af at what you do
back when i was in high school, it was a tradition to ALWAYS play Sleigh Ride in our Winter concert!! y’all did so good! i don’t think our trumpet players did the reindeer sound before but it added a cherry on top!
Just can'r resist commenting. I am 82. I have played trumpet for 72 years. I have played the horse whinny for the past 30 years each Christmas concert of our community band. Well done, young man. I coujldn't have done better.
It’s just the bass trombones that play that part, it is the hardest part in the score for us by far so the other bass trombonist in my band (I am the first) skipped out and I had to play it. It’s a shame!
That's a rather far above average performance for a high school. I had to laugh at counting a number of measures and then playing one note. I know what that's like. And this was never demonstrated any better than by comedian Pete Barbutti being "Fourth Trumpet". This is especially for trumpet players: ua-cam.com/video/FnsEZ9q2hOc/v-deo.html
My high school band director was a percussionist herself and she’s get so pissed if our percussionists were off beat for the slap stick LMAO I remember one year a percussionist used the slap stick too hard though and a chunk of wood splintered off and flew halfway across the band room
it’s so interesting to see this as someone who has played a violin part for all my high school sleigh ride performances, i’ve never got to clearly hear the trumpet part because there’s so many people when we do combined band + orch, so this is fun to see!
I remember when my teacher assigned me 1st part on trumpet for this and I was STRESSED. Concert went really good though! Y’all sounded great, and it was fun to relive the memories lol
damn i used to play trumpet and this made me realize... playin trumpet is one big videogame... 3 valves, hittin combos for different notes like combos on a videogame controller
This isn't a trumpet's perspective, this is a trumpet player's stand's perspective.
True. I still get shaky thinking about a full house just watching me play emotionlessly
The trumpet player is a stand user??
Okay dad, you knew what he meant
Tru lol

Trombone behind you totally killing it!
Thanks!
Best horse sound yet in my band we have to have to three of our trumpets to play the horse sound bc it wasn't loud enough
Hearing the saxophones brought back the memories of playing this when I was in band. Great horse at the end!
both of yall were so damn clean. loved it.
Needs more trombone
I second this
don't worry, the loudest player in the band is sitting right behind them
ofc, never enough trombone
actually thats a lie we have10 trombones not counting me and they're all bad
the legend himself 🙋🏾♂️
In my band the low brass dominates the band, the trombones dominate the band,
I dominate the trombones! Im a trombone player with massive lungs and good sound, but damn some of the underclassmen are good af ngl.
If they see this, i just wonna say you guys are good af at what you do

When you play tenor sax and hear your entire part ✨
I WAS LOOKING FOR THIS COMMENT
we tenors are always loud for no reason
@@seifgharsellaoui3814 And altos seem to be the complete opposite half of the time (when they aren’t the lead in jazz band ofc)
pretty similar to the euphonium part too lol
Ikr lol
Guy on left looks like he’s crying
It be emotional out here
As a trombone/baritone player, I must say that y’all are bloody legends
THE HORSE NEIGH SO SO GOOD OMG
I loved playing that when I was a senior 1987. Everyone couldn't wait until I did the horse at the end. Great job guys.
i just love the blank stares of disappointment when you have like a 20 second rest just to play a single note
Imagine have a euphonium in your band that’s actually good like I can hear them with the trombones and they are so good it’s unreal
It looks like the percussionist playing the sleigh bells is looking directly at the camera
I remember playing this back in high school, and the house sounds is the hardest part. Good job
This is one of those videos that I’ll come across on my recommended again in 10 years
The tenor saxes loud as always, at least that’s what my band directors tells me 😂😂
Just can'r resist commenting. I am 82. I have played trumpet for 72 years. I have played the horse whinny for the past 30 years each Christmas concert of our community band. Well done, young man. I coujldn't have done better.
i love seeing different people showing off their parts of the music. i’m a trombone player so seeing a trumpets side of things was very cool!
This is definitely gonna pop up in someone’s recommended 10 years from now.
As a string player, hearing your parts for the first time is very refreshing!
my recommend list knowing I'll watch anything at this point
the asian man is becoming a minecraft character whenever he plays
This brought back memories man

@@Charles-Reardon ah that explains it. We don't have a bass trombone and we only have one regular trombone
This is giving me terrifying flashbacks of when the whip in my orchestra's concert came 2 measures early almost every single time.
Now for the clarinet
sometimes i miss being in band playing the trumpet but then i remember the spit all over the floor and i don’t miss it anymore
I, like every other trumpet player out there, can completely and utterly put myself in these guys shoes! I loved watching this and KUDOS!

That instrument is called the Sleigh Bells, literally! 😆
I never realized the trumpet was my favorite part this song until now
as a flute player i can say my pov in this piece would pierce people’s ears over a recording
The way that they never look at each other but I can tell they’re best friends… 😅😂
The man in the background just CAN'T get the ketchup out of the bottle 🤣
the guy with the bell sweatin'. probably burns the most calories. roflmao
My lungs could never 💀
Most relatable bit was whenever he licks his lips every time he plays. Fuckin blessing and a curse playing brass
Best arrangement. Probably my favorite song in high school so far.
Netflix: are you still watching?
