@Mark Seymour let me help you explain my role as the soloist. the Main job was to play my part as a Lead player in the corp but since I'm a soloist the added bonus is the cool upper stratosphere notes, and the solo up front. so in some instances, due to the fact that i have to NAIL my moments EVERY SINGLE TIME, i have to be smart and play wise if i want those moments to be 100% every time, so if that means in the 1st movement if i lay out of a specific short section to preserve me lips and get ready for the impact then in that case thats what i needed to do to get the job done, cause being a screamer is not an easy task, not everyone can pick up a horn and peel paint with high G's and nail it as consistently as possible every single time. if you have more questions feel free to ask me on Facebook or IG, id love to answer your questions
I think that answers everything. I was listening to what the battery played it dawned on me that you have like a different role. That was really cool for me to learn about
I understand this, 100%. I am an upper split mello in my high school, and we have some higher notes so I always take maybe one measure to do the same. However, your notes are a LOT higher and harder to hit.
Curious what the response was when the corps members first heard what this show was going to be like. You guys must have been blown away by the concept.
th3drummers Great job Travis. I loved this show and I personally thought that the Bluecoats deserved 1st at DCI World. I saw your performance at Little Rock. It was amazing. I also saw your preliminary run in theater. It was an even better run. I love to see players get mad when they mess up. It shows that you care about you part and your corps. Your part was very hard. I have friends that love those notes you hit at the end. We knew that it took a strong player with chops to play that loud and intense for that long of a show. Congrats on your show and season it was amazing.
I like how you can tell during certain parts he has to anticipate his downbeat and play on the front of the beat because of his distance from the rest of the corps and such. That's why I love these points of view.
I'm in so much awe of this. I have so many questions. I come from the land of bass drums, I'm very unfamiliar with this territory. What was his role in this performance. My perceptions are playing picture accents, moving props, and playing "hits." I don't think I heard him playing any of the other trumpet (maybe coronet, I'm not sure) parts. I didn't hear any melodies or even walking lines from him. So I am really curious as to his role on the field. Also, I know he is mic'd, but I didn't know it was wireless. I kept waiting for him to throw the microphone, but he kept it the whole show. I saw him moving props as well, but I think that was a general idea from the drill writer saying "this person is closest." Essentially my guess at his role is just to play accents parts and big picture moments. But now after all of this mindblowing find, are there more of him?
+the3drummers - This is what I want to do when I enter dci, it is truly amazing to see a fantastic trumpet player and a outstanding DCI Drumcore. Would you be able to help me get into that high ranking core or position?
Kinda cool how you can actually hear his heartbeat.

So that's where the high concert E came from in the end of the opener... That's awesome

No matter how many times I watch this show, I am always so impressed with every aspect. Let's go bloo!

Why is this only 360P when it was recorded with a GoPro? I'm pretty sure every GoPro released can do at least 1080p and 30 FPS.
How does one lower their pitch (at the beginning) that much on a trumpet?
iRaccoon lip bend
you can bend the pitch sharp or flat a bit by moving your tongue
BigProblem30 I’ve worked on a pitch bend for 3 years now and still can’t get it that drastic lol
6:40 =
