I have been watching DCI for the past few years now and have just entered my second year of marching band, and ben, hearing you play has made me want to take a career in music.
I'm like super late at commenting but man I bet his chops hurt so bad. At 7:02 what type horn was it ? A Fugle horn? Man it was gorugous at his solo 😍😂👏👏👏👏
Hey Ben! I am the lead trumpet in both Jazz and concert band and I just wanted to ask, how do you endure all of the music with your lips. For example, all of the amazing high notes you have to play to make the music sound better, how do you train to withstand all that playing straight without much break. Any techniques or tips you can give a fellow trumpeter?
Look up schlossberg exercises, arban's, and Clarke studies. And keep in mind when playing high it depends on your air and tongue shaping and not so much lips.
Hey bud this is probably gonna be a dumb question but it says you attended IU so would there be any chance of you being at IU band day because I have to go there for my band
Ben, I think you're are currently the best trumpet soloist in all of DCI
Jon Williams who you got that's better
I didn't say who's best, I said pick one that's better.
Shayne O'Brien
It's funny how T/ilted you get over this. He played a G and a G sharp. Not "a single G"
Jon Williams why don't you just leave you're ideas to yourself instead of insulting my opinion like calm down
The two dislikes had their phones downside up
Lol
Holy shit lmao
Nice one!
I love those crisp attacks that the great lead players have. This is an unbelievable headcam
I love the trumpet flips at 11:52
Zeldack How does Shane do it? It's so cool! :o
I DONT KNOW BUT I LOVE IT
just stick your finger in the 3rd valve slide ring and spin it
@@keenankrieger3409 I'm scared to try. Don't want my trumpet to fall
@@dwightwashere7174 fair!
Dude you and shane have got to be there most valuable trumpet players
4:21. That poor mallet
Never clicked a video so fast
Eru Ilúvatar honestly
Eru Ilúvatar same
OMG me too!
Eru Ilúvatar yep
I have been watching DCI for the past few years now and have just entered my second year of marching band, and ben, hearing you play has made me want to take a career in music.
even as a percussionist i never get tired of this video or the other several of them
Nothing else can show the progress youve made over the season and the years then these videos. Keep it up Ben!
A true hero in Bluecoats and DCI history
BY FAR THE GREATEST MARCHING SHOW IVE EVER SEEN! BLOOOOOOOOOOO!
Love This 😍😍 I'm working my Way up there !!! Thanks for inspiring !!
Good luck, so i'm I
the legend is at it again
Working my way up to Bluecoats. Can't wait to audition for the first time for 2018.

3 years late but did you make it?
How’d it go?
shayne that g# at the end....... oof! it was beautiful. also ben you're a monster player man!!!!
He's back!!!!
This is one of the best and cleanest ones I’ve been imo
The sudden moment of silence at 12:14 gives me goosebumps every time
I love those low notes at 8:03
Today's my birthday, this is a pretty cool gift!
the basses at 10:40 hoo wee
HOO WEEEE
I love this show so much
I think the trumpet soloist at 5:33 made a mistake, and if he did, then he did a good recovery.
Amateur Pianist yeah, he probably missed a few notes, just a fluke
5:14 "thank ya sir" 😂
Ben i never clicked on a video so fast in my life
One of the best headcams of this show. Nice work, Ben.
Coming from a mellophone player, jeez that solo at the end is HIGH
Jack Frost go mellos
good old marching band spirit ben. I like it. 😄
THANK YOU SO MUCH BEN
Somebody's out of tune after the first trumpet attack haha. Freaking love this stuff really inspires me to practice a crap ton.
Saw the banner pop up, and clicked it instantly 😂😂
Im Not Cereal same
Great Gig in the Sky
Amazing as always
Ben is amazing!!!!!
The tone of a god
this just makes my week, thanks Ben.
we see the legend again
Dang Ben. You guys are locked in. Great playing if that was a traditional concert... the fact you do that on the fly on a football field is insane.
Ayyye dang your super talented
The note at 9:08 was amazing. And the release at 12:15? It was so good omfg
YESSSSSS
So cool! I'm going to see Innovations in brass in Pittsburgh and I can't wait!
Great gig in the skyy ♡
In case any body is wanting to play it, im pretty sure the positons at 3:08 are 2,3,1,4,5,3,2
i busted when I saw this
so amazing !!!
I wonder how many drill changes were made
way too many
Nicholas Howe 👍
THE GREAT GIG IN THE SKY!!!!
Ben is my role model
Ben is the greatest
Are we not gonna mention the guy spun his trumpet on his finger at 11:54😳😂
Hell yes!
He is lit
I hear "youuu better get it!" A lot. What's the significance?
You're my hero
BEEEEEEEN
Question, since your corp marches Yamaha Xenos, how do you guys do the trumpet flips?
It's an ancient skill that lies dominant in the body of lead players. It only comes forth when the time is right.
Love it!
I'm like super late at commenting but man I bet his chops hurt so bad. At 7:02 what type horn was it ? A Fugle horn? Man it was gorugous at his solo 😍😂👏👏👏👏
It was a flugelhorn😊
Good Job !!!!
Hell yeah.
Finally
i have a crush on the colorguard member he hands his horn to at 7:19
8:31 what that a dab i saw there?
grizmatik
YYYYEEEEEEESSSSSSSS YESYESYESYES
I moaned at 11:07
Just wondering what mouthpiece you use for your endurance and high notes in the 2016 show
Hey, I am a huge fan. I was wondering how you get good range you have

good sound quality
My favorite parts were 5:16 -5:29
Hey bud this is probably gonna be a dumb question but it says you attended IU so would there be any chance of you being at IU band day because I have to go there for my band
What is the name of the guy in the green shirt that plays the trumpet at the very end with the guy with the go pro. they have like the duet thing.
Kameryn Sabino Shayne
That's it. Just shayne
Kameryn Sabino Shayne O' Brien
I wish he had a go pro video
For 2016
the bass bone's pedals, yes please
Do you think getting a small external mic could make sound better? There are small polar pro ones
I couldnt stand on that thin of a platform and play a solo at the same time.
What exactly is that Shayne babble at the end
