Virginia Tech Hokies and Cincinnati Bearcats in 1/1/09 BCS Orange Bowl in Miami, Florida. Arturo Sandoval plays The Star Spangled Banner before the game.
I know right? This man strikes me so hard with his range and technique, I can only wish to play that good. For example on 1:34 he plays a whole B-flat scale. Incredible
Maddie Paige Hey Maddie, how old are you or what grade are you in? Just starting or been playing awhile now? I absolutely loved it. I had a 2nd chance to play. In 2005 I think, I was in a brass quintet, it was just for fun and fun is what it was. I hadn't played for quite a few years and it felt so good to do it again. Unfortunately we disbanded in 2010. Keep playing!! One "girl" to another!! Playing the trumpet was one of my favorite things to do.
Maddie Paige Good job Maddie, keep playing. It's a fun instrument once you get into it. I was frustrated for the first few months I played but by then I was starting to catch up to the guys who'd been playing for a year already. Makes me wish I could go back in time. Have fun with it!!!
***** Hey Blue, I'm a former player, wish I was still playing but oh well. Give Dr. Jesse McGuire a listen. I heard him at a NASCAR race and an NFL game. I can't seem to find my favorite, he does some cool little flourishes at just the right moment. When he goes up into that upper register, I have goosebumps like crazy. I really miss playing.
My first jazz album was the soundtrack to his "For love or country". The only thing that sucks about getting inspiration from high note players is that you can get stuck there and not work on the technique of the horn. It happened to me, for too many years I was only concerned with my sound.
saruni :3 you would be absolutely correct. This man is an outright virtuoso who represented the Stars and Stripes in a most dynamic fashion. Pure brilliance!
This musician, Arturo Sandoval is a giant in the professional world. It is very poignant to note that (many of) the viewers of this video and the thousands of Orange Bowl fans present on that day had no idea of the breadth of talent they were treated to. Every week people watch TV programs such as The Voice, and America's Got Talent and become hypnotized by the malaise. Advice to television producers: You need only roam around the practice halls of Berklee, Curtis, Juilliard, Eastman and other music citadels. Those places are blistering with serious talent. As a country, our appreciation of people who spend five and six hours a day for years honing their gifts is sorely neglected.
Trumpet players: if you’re feeling discouraged because you’re struggling with high notes, Arturo himself said on video he could not play upper register notes for years. It took him a LONG time. Don’t give up and keep practicing 🙏🏼
mikejohnsb well in my opinion, better than most but not all. For example, Whitney Houston singing the national anthem is probably the best national anthem I've ever heard. Renee Fleming also sang it one year and sounded great.
I agree it sounds good, but you can't deny the Soviet National Anthem is very inspiring. I'm not saying I agree with communism or what the song says, but it sounds so good.
Everyone’s talking about the difficulty of just hitting those notes but doing it as a long note, in tune, with vibrato, loud enough for a stadium to hear is unbeatable
All of the non-musicians here have no idea what extreme talent they just witnessed. There are plenty of professional trumpet players that only dream of hitting notes that high with such good tone. Wow.
Sheer beauty! Tasteful, a little flash, but not too much, and how deeply moving to see Turi playing this in his adopted country, which he loves so much! Bravo, Maestro!
This is the first time I've gotten chills from a trumpet performance, mainly at 1:35. Absolutely amazing how flawless those high notes were, and all those vibratos. Bravo.
There's something so unique about Arturo - in the lower register, it almost sounds like he's going to lose the pitch sometimes. It isn't the unwavering intonation that he shows when he gets up really high. When he gets up to the upper register, it's like the most crystal clear sound you've ever heard. Very interesting and fantastic musician.
I’ve watched this video since I was 8 years old now I’m going on 23 and truly still the most beautiful notes I’ve ever heard come out of any brass instrument. Many thanks to Arturo Sandoval for such an amazing and absolutely inspiring piece
God I love listening to this when he goes up into that higher register. I only dreamed about doing that. I spent my high school years listening to Maynard Ferguson, Bill Chase, and Herb Alpert, all incredible musicians with a trumpet. I got to see Ferguson twice in high school. That was a long time ago.
@@billpoindexter2113 I know the ones I like, I'll put it that way. Herb Alpert was the first one I heard. I was only 9 or 10 at the time. In 6th grade, (a year behind my classmates), I began with lessons, and I'm a competitor, if it's something I really want, I go after it, so in 7th grade, I didn't like playing 3rd trumpet for anything. I worked my way to 2nd trumpet that year though. When we got rid of the upper classmen whose talents were quite good, I was finally playing 1st trumpet, and I swear that in 8th/9th and 11th/12th, our instructors loved picking on me and the guy who we always tried to outplay the other, so 1st and 2nd chair was like a swinging door all the time. They never picked on the other instruments, but I feel like it made me better, and since I was a girl, I let them know that a girl could hang with the boys. The trumpet players were always the first ones to the band room in high school and right away we went into the office, put on either Chase or Ferguson and we cranked those speakers until more people were filing in. I'm 62 now, and what I wouldn't give to still be able to play. Once in awhile I get it out, you gotta make sure those valves don't need oiling and that it doesn't need to be cleaned good. I love how shiny a silver Bach Strad looks. As for Chase, give me "Open up wide", "Livin in heat", "Hello groceries", "Handbags and gladrags" (my absolute favorite)!! and of course "Get it on". I had a hard time finding that album, but it's a miracle I didn't go deaf just from listening to them all as late at night as I could. I have all of that music on an ipod, and if I'm in my car by myself, I love to crank it up just like the old days.
@@survivrs You know there are Chase live and tributes collections, I assume. Both are incredible. And, there are several clips of Chase here in UA-cam. Sound and quality are expectedly not great, but still cool to watch. I’m also 62, so you must be a 77 or 78 grad then. Ever play the Reno Jazz Festival back then?
@@billpoindexter2113 I was a 77 grad, but no to the Reno Jazz Festival. I'm from Iowa, and not from the big cities who produced some incredible musicians who we got to know at state wide jazz festivals every year. I loved being chosen for honor bands because that was when you could really count on some hard music, and it was enjoyable to earn your chair. I just loved playing. I've come across some of the clips you've mentioned and unfortunately because of their age, the quality of sound isn't great but it's still good enough to keep my attention.
I tried hitting the high notes at the end and now I have lost 1 tooth 3 holes on my cheeks and a sore throat. I still didn’t hit it. My respect to this man just went up 23 years later.
Solo un gran musico, te puede estremecer con un himno que no es el de tu país. Just a great musician (like máster Arturo), touch your heart with an anthem that is not your country anthem. Arturo make this awesome final, and i stand up of my chair clapping, and yelling "U, S, A... U, S, A..." hahaha Grettings from Colómbia
his name is arturo sandoval for those of you that dont know. i recommend you check out his work because he truly is one of the greatest trumpet players of all time
The most beautiful part about this is someone who loves his country putting it all out there to give it the due it deserves not just doing the bare minimum but trying to bring alive the spirit and the beauty of America 🇺🇸
I remember when I first saw this, I had just started playing in 7th grade. This was just mind blowing to me at the time. Now I'm a freshman music major, and as long as I'm not dead, I can play this now. Not as well as him But well enough for people to think it sound good Goal is to one day actually play it for a real performance
I've randomly visited this video atleast a few time a year since it was first posted back in '09. Just when I think my 100th time watching it for over 13 years won't be emotional, I still can't fkin keep it together 🥺
three years ago, i started playing trumpet. this was the first video i watched when i looked up trumpet music. this video was my inspiration. i am now the best trumpet player on my campus and i’m in 8th grade.
The greatest Trumpet Player to ever attempt the anthem. Let me make this crystal clear: he is the greatest to ever pick up the horn and all other should just appreciate his greatness. The king!!!
Impresionante, ver como este señor pese a su edad y veteranía tiene el valor para estar frente miles de espectadores y no tener un tipo de nervio ante eso! Sin duda alguna su ejecución, la limpieza en su sonido, su alcanze a notas extremadamente agudas solo el tiene esas caracteristicas! Grande Arturo Sandoval :) Sin duda alguna sos mi mayor idolo musical ! Algun dia sere como usted :)
The tone, vibrato, care taken with each note (starting with the very first entrance) the phrasing and musical release of each note. There's no mistaking: it's definitely Arturo
HATS OFF YOU SIR. HEART MELTING & TOUCHING PLAYED. I AM 67 YEARS OLD. I M I MUSIC BAND SINCE LAST MORE THAN 50 YEARS BUT FIRST TIME I'VE HEARD THIS TYPE OF TRUMPET. HATS OFF,HATS OFF SIR. I MESMERISE.I M SPEECH LESS. GOD BLESS YOU SIR.
I wonder how many people in that stadium have no idea what he and his family went through to be in America so he could eventually play this for them. One of my idols.
For those who don't know....using the valves on a trumpet directs air through different tubes, therefore lengthening and shortening the horn, and helping a player hit the different notes. When you are up that high, the valves no longer matter. That is 100% the player, in this case controlling a squeal at a world class level. It is hard enough to control pitch when you're squealing, but the tone he managed while doing it was truly impressive. When he put the horn down you could see how exhausted he was. And the breath and preparation he took just before going for "Land of the free" had that "its go time" look to it.
I started crying valve oil.
Fruzzinoid I’M DEAD LMAO
Me too!! Horns all the way!!
Tears, blood and Blue Juice for the American colors.
Fruzzinoid 😂😂😂

Only musicians understand
+Bailey Bradshaw once in a generation talent, to say the least
👍👍
+Bearz__ Last note was a double C (Bb concert pitch)
I heard he kissed a girl once. she died
LOL
Crazytbonz I'm referring to his chops, they're so strong they killed the girl when he kissed her. I didn't realize that joke was hard to get?
evan cawthon
Arturo won't jrink beer outta bottles anymore . bottles kept shattering.
I live this comment
love*
Lots of videos of trumpet players playing high notes on UA-cam. But this is the difference between making the instrument scream and making it sing.
here, here
The greatest there ever was.
No nay here
well said and put.
having a screamer trumpet can be good for certain songs though
Only a trumpet player can truly recognize how awesome that was
I play trumpet and it was truly amazing
Maddie Paige Hey Maddie, how old are you or what grade are you in? Just starting or been playing awhile now? I absolutely loved it. I had a 2nd chance to play.

Legend has it that he went up another octave, but they couldn't hear it, so they asked him to go back down.
ur kidding right? 😣
Allen Yu Amazing comment. I'm literally laughing out loud haha.
lol
Scary part is that he could
Allen Yu they didn't hear it so they asked him to take it down . You really thought that one out didn't you ?
Who else got chills when he played the high parts.
ApexGamer926 I got chills when he did the trumpet rip
David Jarrels I just watched it again and I still got chills.
ApexGamer926 me My Country Is the Best
ASMR trigger.
timba cubana
only the band nerds understand how incredible that was :)
Most people already see it as incredible but band nerds see it as extreme bad ass status
Yes Like Wow ..
don't have to be a band nerd to know ;)
Trumpet players know how hard this is :D
yeeeah
If you have played the trumpet before, you realize how impossible those last notes were to hit
Yeah....practise...lots and lots of practise....and air....
It's one of the most hardest things to do...
Not really
Jk
I can't hit those octives yet. Been playing for 10 yrs
That look at the end was into a different dimension. He only had a single O2 left in his head.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Dominic Mendoza air
Isaac Davanzo O2 is oxygen lol, just 2 of it because it’s diatomic so it almost never appears alone in nature
James Lin I know, it’s just generic usage that people call oxygen air even though it’s not only oxygen
😂😂😂😂😂
My mouth hurts just watching this.
My lips hurt.... Oh wait i just played my trumpet before this.
IU could make your mouth hurt. But you'd have to call me daddy. ;)
Jack Burgess ur other hole will also. But u will have to call me big papi ;)
If you're air flow and support is there, you shouldn't have any pain.
Mine too!
I play trumpet and I would have popped a blood vessel trying to go this high TBH.
😂👏🏽 fr me too!
ikr, highest i've ever played was an E above the staff and that is like a triple C or something
This is way to high I can barely play a double g
meme lord same
meme lord same
Wow. I played trumpet years ago. When he hit the high high note I cried.
I cried when Jennie dies in forest gump
I feel ya
420th like
Inspired the hell out of me when I was a kid
Same.
And it still should, this shit is amazing and super fucking hard

God I wish I could play like this. I feel like the majority of the people in that stadium have no concept of the greatness that they had witnessed.

I got to see him live, he played with Clarence High School at kleinhans music hall it was amazing
I feel ya man. I feel ya
Thom Pastor EXACTLY
Hear hear people at this venue have no idea
Jack Kim I do see some in the crowd reacting like "holy shit what did I just see" at the end
On the day of the lord, God will tell Gabriel to let this man blow the horn instead
Rey Hernandez
0
well.... I don't know about the gabriel. But you can blow my horn. #Darwin
Rey Hernandez my name is Gabriel and I’m offended 😂
@Rey Hernandez lol that's funny
Lol thats a good way to praise his talent
Forget about playing high. Do you all hear his tone quality and vibrato?
Having defected to the US from Cuba, he loves this country like no other musician could, and man does it show.
I'll tell you something else that shows ;)
saladofdoom42 I am also Cuban 🇨🇺
🇺🇸🇨🇺🇺🇸🇨🇺 Majority of us Love this country , the land that welcomed us when we couldn’t longer live in our own!! 🙏🏻

Can anybody agree that, this sounds WAY better than ANYONE who has sang the National Anthem ? I agree

Literally the best national anthem ever
I agree it sounds good, but you can't deny the Soviet National Anthem is very inspiring.
I'm not saying I agree with communism or what the song says, but it sounds so good.
That double high c tho :0
I dunno, I'm a big fan of Italy's national anthem tbh.
look up trombone shorty national anthem
México Anthem....

I can squeal double C's on good days. But it's nowhere near what you would call a note. This is just amazing.
I'd make you squeal
Woah.

Awesome Jeanne!! I first heard of him from Greg. Great video!!
Only the Trumpet Players appreciate what they just saw.
Doug Burger and this trombone player too
@@LuisDiaz-go3wl ya but not as much as trumpet players do
You sound dumb.
Yo yes
True
Oh, that synchronous scale up and glance up of the kid, sends shivers down my spine.
And the sad part is that most of the people in that stadium have no idea what just happend.
A Cuban exile paying tribute to the Land of the Free and Home of the Brave! What an amazing performance. Best trumpet player in the world!
I agree! 😁
Yes it is!
I love how the audience at first gave him a polite amount of applause, and towards the end, the audience went absolutely bonkers. It's awesome
When you are listening to something so exceptional, that you can't do anything but laugh....
when you play an wind instrument and realize that you can never be that good, you can't do anything but laugh....
DeebO Exactly
My lover came
@@yanzx01 💀💀
The live editing of the kid looking up at 1:34 along with the ascending trumpet lick is flawless.
This is the first time I've gotten chills from a trumpet performance, mainly at 1:35. Absolutely amazing how flawless those high notes were, and all those vibratos. Bravo.
YAZZ!
Maynard Ferguson is smiling from heaven when he hears anyone play high notes on a trumpet!
Yes he is!
listens for the 7,982 time "yep, still gives me chills" this is a twice in a lifetime type of note. if you know you know
I am about to watch it again also!

ALL RISE FOR THE MASTER!! (trumpet)
hahahahahahahahahahahaha
With all due respect.... Say what...? Hahahahihi
Rise up - in the changing light of Sandoval
#CubaLibre
I rose
This is probably the most beautiful thing I've ever heard. Gives me chills each time I hear the highest note.
The commentator goes “Well done”. Dude there is no word in the dictionary to describe what he has just done.
No word!
I love how the notes were so high that the last note (a high c) sounded like a middle note.
Commenting Person true 😂 it’s probably so easy for him to hit a high cut then again I can hit a high c 😊
From 1:34 til the end, I just KNEW he was gonna go into the stratosphere! I don't think I've ever heard a instrumental solo before.
My GOD, that tone quality.
Have to come back to this masterpiece every few months.
Any trumpet players hearing this; I know your lips, cheeks -and face in general- went tight as hell when he hit those high notes!!!
When he started taking it up an octave I actually started getting chills.
the intra abdominal pressure in this guy during the high notes is enough to blow my diaphragm away
I’ve watched this video since I was 8 years old now I’m going on 23 and truly still the most beautiful notes I’ve ever heard come out of any brass instrument. Many thanks to Arturo Sandoval for such an amazing and absolutely inspiring piece
I keep replaying this video😂
Savion Mcglone same lol and I’m a trombone player
Luis Diaz hahahaha me too
Me too!

This man has ascended over us mortal brass players geez
My personal favorite and in my opinion the best trumpeter of all time.
being a trumpet player, this is the most impressive thing ive seen in a long time
i am blown away be that high note and the scale and yes I play Trumpet.

But well enough for people to think it sound good
Goal is to one day actually play it for a real performance
Arturo played this so well that several other nations adopted his version as their anthems
Needed a detox after Fergie
What a brilliant comment!
I coughed out loud I was laughing so hard.
I've randomly visited this video atleast a few time a year since it was first posted back in '09. Just when I think my 100th time watching it for over 13 years won't be emotional, I still can't fkin keep it together 🥺
As a trumpet player, and Arturo fan, this is as good as it gets. This register, tone, incredible!
I got chills and cried a little. Didn't know that was possible.
People who don’t play the trumpet have no idea how impressive that really was
three years ago, i started playing trumpet. this was the first video i watched when i looked up trumpet music. this video was my inspiration. i am now the best trumpet player on my campus and i’m in 8th grade.
This whole video gives me chills especially the highs
This is the most awesome sound I have heard in my life.
Goosebumps everywhere.
Dude I play trumpet for years and I have hit those last notes but definitely not in a song or anything. That was amazing dude.
The greatest Trumpet Player to ever attempt the anthem. Let me make this crystal clear: he is the greatest to ever pick up the horn and all other should just appreciate his greatness. The king!!!
He is The legendary Spanish Trumpet player for La Virgen de la Macarena Song from the Apple Commercial.
""Arturo Sandoval""
I can do the first part an Octave high, but the second part of the ending is just freaking ridiculous! MURICA
After This, The Trumpet Had a cigarette
😆 😅 😂 🤣😆 😅 😂 🤣
im from malaysia, im crying too by watching this, respect to AMERICA!
God Bless America,and That man. WOW, Fantastic.
Tocar ao ar livre com essa qualidade sonora não é pra qualquer um. Fantástico Arturo 🇧🇷
Verdade!
I keep coming back to this, and every time, I get water in my eyes.
PROUD twice ! Because I am American citizen and Arturo’s performance !!!!
Man Sandoval's sound is HUGE across the whole horn! Quickly becoming one of my favorites :]
Maestro de los maestros orgullosa de ser cubana
Yo también
I almost died at 1:35 .It was soooo freaking awesome
Simply unbelievable. What a total stud. The 121 with thumbs down don't have a clue what they witnessed. Sad.
He is our great Arturo Sandobal! God bless him and bless America!
En 1998 tuve la grata experiencia de verlo tocar en vivo en el Teatro Balboa en Panamá. Lo recuerdo como si fuera hace1 año atrás. Impresionante!!!!

Still can't believe I met this guy and he gave out class a lesson on trumpets
You should check out his UA-cam channel, he has q&a sessions on there and helpful discussions with other musicians like Wayne B.
All of us trumpet players are like

For those who don't know....using the valves on a trumpet directs air through different tubes, therefore lengthening and shortening the horn, and helping a player hit the different notes. When you are up that high, the valves no longer matter. That is 100% the player, in this case controlling a squeal at a world class level. It is hard enough to control pitch when you're squealing, but the tone he managed while doing it was truly impressive. When he put the horn down you could see how exhausted he was. And the breath and preparation he took just before going for "Land of the free" had that "its go time" look to it.
