Dreagle The description Gordon Goodwin gives of this song is how the guys on the back row, the trumpet section, are competitive for gigs in the L.A. area in a way that's very political.
I've always thought it was about the internal squabbling of a trumpet section. There aren't many sections that don't have at least some back-row politics between players going on about "who is the best", "who can play highest" etc.
@@sallozano15 that's cool! I wasn't implying that it wasn't received well by Gordon, I just didn't want to assume one way or the other. Each band and director has a different dynamic.
@@ericmatthews3780 Music is supposed to be fun. That's why we do it right? I know that every member of that band has about 2 or 3 dozen stories of things that can have you rolling with laughter. And.... at the same time, play great music with great friends and have fun. I'll tell a few some time.
This is WHY we trumpet players are always in the back row! OUTSTANDING!!! Great music and one of the best laughs I've had in a LONG time....thanks for sharing a great video!
Alex Kim. They have read that chart many times. The fumbling of the music and stuff is all part of the gag. It's a tough chart. Even when Wayne and Summers are with the band they have their eyes focused on the music. It's the true mark of a professional musician. You never know when something is going to get cut at the last min . A whole section taken out. A repeat skipped. It might get written in while everyone is at dinner and a brief announcement at call time on the changes or no announcement on the changes.
Been away from music for quite a while, but this reminds me of the fantastic times I had whilst playing in a band. What a hoot, it made me really laugh from deep down. Thanks for posting this video, it made my day. :-D
So glad I was there to see I this happen live. Not a huge music guy, but I drove a group of our HS band members from a nearby school there and got to see this show. Wow!
Talk about the joy and vibrancy of liver performance! This is so much better than a recording and the energy of the whole band immediately following the dropped trou to the end is just awesome! Playing any chart no matter how captivating can become routine. I'll wager this performance and the rest of the gig was anything but routine and will live on in stories from the band.
Fun vid; I just started playhing this with my big band. I may never get that 16th note rune - but I'm not the only one in the section who can't nail it. If I can get off a decent solo I'm happy.
Michael Abasta Too subtle to be a joke. He switched because he couldn't hit the high notes with the mouthpiece he was using. He even pulled the slide out to adjust for the smaller cup size of the cheater mouthpiece he used. He also switched earlier at around 5:51, so hard to say what was going on there.
Lol I'm a trumpet player, and I'm amazed that they can play while cracking up! It's impossible for me at least to play while laughing or even smiling.
its called backrow politics because if you think about it its almost like the trumpets are arguing back and forth like politicians
Dreagle Gaming yep, just arguing, no actual benefits just....a load of arguing

And trumpets are usually in the back

Can't get over how hard they were laughing afterwards, man that must've been fun to watch
That's one hell of a high notes contest.
One of the funniest things I have seen. Proud to be a part of it
Obviously it had you guys absolutely rolling at the time, but I'm curious as to whether it had any professional consequences after?
@@ericmatthews3780 Ask Gordon. He was laughing so hard he was unable to play the piano. The audience liked, we liked, who's the victim there??

@@sallozano15 Nice to hear from you! I'll have to catch you guys live some time. 🎺🎷
Trumpet players always keep it classy. Well done, gentlemen!
Willie Murillo knocks me out! They all have great chops.
He was my clinician for a jazz festival!!!

I think the pants thing was spontaneous, though.......
@@Drchainsaw77 I do too, 'cause it happened to me once. I got 'em back up before the audience noticed, and nobody said anything about it.

This may have to become a permanant part of the act.
People take themselves too seriously.. true pros like them who are really frickin great still KNOW how and when to have a laugh. Love this video!!!

didn't know Gabe had a trumpet hobby.
always knew we were like brothers...
some serious chops there.
When the 4th trumpet quotes rhapsody in blue at 5:07
Five years later I finally get it. It's comedy; not music. Very funny. The trumpet player covers the eyes of the flute player. Hilarious.
Straight COOKING WITH FIRE!! NO PANTS!
5:07 that's straight out of Gershwin's book
Geez, subs.......Now what is Wayne going to have to do to top that?
Somewhere a symphony player is crying with a sour look on his face. Lol
nah
i love this band and this composition sooo much
I've shed my pants to music before but never like this :)
Chad Shoopman, Willie Murillo, Dan Fornero, Dan Savant.
This video brings me so much joy
Wow that was great and funny as hell!
I was in the 3rd row that night it was hilarious !!!
Wow, pretty even those guys. They are all fantastic...
I was at that concert! They put on an awesome show!
Youre right. Hilarious. Thanks for sharing.
Didn't know John Goodman was a trumpet player.
ChooseReason not funny didn’t laugh
@@owenstuart4479 funny did laugh
@@elijahvaldivia3729 blessed comment
Willie Murillo is so amazing :D!
he is at my school like literally playing in my school search up la down under and westminster is my school
That was a lot of fun to see and listen
Well done, Chad.
Fun vid; I just started playhing this with my big band. I may never get that 16th note rune - but I'm not the only one in the section who can't nail it. If I can get off a decent solo I'm happy.
I love Big Phat Band!
Still sounds amazing even when corpsing- true professionalism!!
Great show!!
Exceedingly notable video on the whole. Thanks a lot.
The House of Jokes "Notable"
All I want at this point is a written dialogue of what everyone proceeded to say to each other during the last half of this.
I would settle for whatever Gordon had to say to transition to the next song just after this clip cuts off.
5:06 Gershwin 🤙
My high school band did a studio session with the heavy set guy down in Disney
Просто СУПЕР!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BAHAHAHAH! That's priceless!
what a brave cameraman!
I wish they would come to my high school.
Yes Leland, I am always objectively pissed 😡
To wanna see them play this, with the trumpets being wayne, chad, Willie, and Dan f. That would be crazy!
dont miss Wayne much.. good job guys...
I never could get Shoop to do that in my U of A band.
those guys are pretty good!
6:13 is where the pants drop
It's good when it's fun, and fun when it's good.
BRAVISSIMO !"
I think Chad just wanted the flutes to stop playing!
...i think...that...j''aime very beaucoup...this think...one more time...en tous casMERCI
My, oh my! Why doesn’t this vid have more views?!
Super Band!!!👍👍👍👍😉😉😉😉
The gentry of brass.
Awesome!!!!!
Chad you da man~!
YEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!
I would like to see other vids of this if they are out there. Different angles
Talk about showmanship!
Bravo!!!
super bravo :D
*SPETTACOLARE*
great great great !!!
Grandi trombettisti 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Muito bons mesmo..'
Anyone know why the chap next to Chad swaps his mouthpiece at about 7.20?
Might be for that big shake they have at 7:40
lol wow didnt even notice that
Im pretty sure its a joke about when trumpet players think the mouthpiece they are using is not working for them.
Michael Abasta Too subtle to be a joke. He switched because he couldn't hit the high notes with the mouthpiece he was using. He even pulled the slide out to adjust for the smaller cup size of the cheater mouthpiece he used.
He also switched earlier at around 5:51, so hard to say what was going on there.
I dont believe in cheater mouthpieces.
I'm curious to know what Gordon thought of the whole thing.
イイパッセイジダ！
ラブソティーインブルーwwwww
Yes. FUNNY as all!!! 🙂
7:20 the mouthpiece change so trumpet
I bet they've been through this numerous times and probably know it pretty well. My comment was supposed to be tongue/cheek anyway tho, heh.
Young Adults ought to vote more!
Murillo never fails to impress
Your right.
@@carloscenteno59 really? he seems like a really friendly and nice guy
Chad Shoopman did great filling in for Wayne Bergeron
Willie looks like he works at pollo loco
Let's see if Wayne Bergeron can follow this act.........
3:59
what note does he play at 5:48 ?
Bb
sureal music
Hilarious!
Ein Traum
Them legs
Funny watching the reaction to the Rhapsody in Blue riff.
Mac Tek That was in the studio recording as well lmao
Cute.
Great performance, but God made suspenders for a reason!
lol, they dont have to have it memorized . its a performance at a highschool. not a huge stage. they might even be sightreading .
OMG🤣🤣🤣🤣
Is that Dan Fornero?
+Kyle Poisson
yes , he is dan fornero
great tp player!!!
I think I see Chad reach down with one hand as he makes the turn into the drop trow. Maybe intentional me thinks?
Not intentional.
the left is Chad shopman?
Yes! :D
Shoopman
Am I the only person who doesn’t know what it means when it says without a belt
6:04
Yes! 🤣🤣
karma
The "coordinated" horn move was terrible. The rest....awesome!
