@Jason Janku would you expect someone off the street to know the difference between a cornet and a trumpet? Would you expect someone off the street to even know what a cornet is? Also, I expect it's safe to assume that most people who DO know what a cornet is, and how it differs from a trumpet, would understand what I mean when I say trumpet when referring to a cornet. I'd rather someone who doesn't know the difference be able to understand what I'm talking about than pander to the high-and-mighty brass purists who would balk at one who would dare mis-identify a cornet as a low and dirty trumpet. The comment was referring to the angry expression and mouthed obscenities and fist shaking at the brass section that was caught on camera, the terminology used to describe one of the instruments used is hardly relevant to the comment.
@@henrysmith340 It depends on the style of the piece and what the composer/score has asked for as to whether they use Trumpets or Cornets. There are countless occasions of Trumpets in an RM concert band, although Cornets are almost exclusively used on parade band.
It would appear that at 2:17, the director was not exactly happy with what he was getting out of the horns and trumpets.
Just for clarification, those are cornets, not trumpets. HM Royal Marines don’t use trumpets.

I wasn’t intending to be rude, but you do have a point. It is irrelevant, and I’m sorry.
