If they sound like that not even the patriots can match them
Unfortunately most HBCU are like this.
As it should be
The Trombones alone. Who knows how good the rest of this band was
"can anyone here play the trumpet part?"
"yes"
"you're a trombone player"
" *I know* "
😂
It's actually a trombone part! This is pretty much a 1:1 transcription of Smelley Bone's arrangement of Black and Blues. Couple different rhythms in the lead is all that's different.
@@hoodbanana bro your username scared the shit out of me bc my name's Caleb lol. Anyways about the original comment: my band teacher actually does play trumpet shit on his trombone with the younger classes.
Hi Kelsan!!!
Even tho this is a trombone solo, I actually was wondering if Wil actually, may have possibly played trumpet before picking up the trombone cuz his embouchure is CRAZZYY to be picking up these high ass tones, big respect for him cuz WHEW 👏🏽👌🏽🔥
I wish there was a studio version of this so badly
First time I heard this I said they should put this on wax.
not a studio version but at least you can hear it better

The craziest part about this video is that it came at the end of a very close battle with the other school’s Trombone section, and the rest of the band had never heard them play this song. They looked confused during the build up and that’s why they reacted so hype to the solo, because not only was it absolutely incredible, they had no idea it was coming and being rehearsed behind the scenes. Furthermore, this is only shortly after the section learned the song, since this was the official “unveiling” moment. Which means it’s probably not even these players’ best performance of the song.
Jesus that's insane I'd love to do something like this when I go to college if I go
That first time performing something you’ve been rehearsing for while, when the emotion is at its highest with all the anticipation and excitement of putting something new out there for everyone to hear, and before all that emotion is clouded up by trying to get all the details right…that’s when MAGIC happens. I guarantee this group chased the feeling that THIS performance brought every single time they played it. It’s awesome they got this moment recorded for them and the world to see for ever. It’s truly something special here.
A M A Z I N G 🔥 ❤️ I watched this on Instagram soooooo many times and still watched it so many times here. It's captivating and speaks to the bone marrow. Good job 🎉it
If I heard something like that 'li e' for the 1st time..and I was in that crowd...I would've been going bananas!!! They didn't react ENOUGH imo...my question is...who wrote it???

They thought they were in church and were shouting to the trombonist like: "YOU BETTER SANG!"
Dude; is that ONE trombone??! He’s balancing the entire section!! BAD ASS
they were probably playing softer too
This is why I love trombones, whenever we get melody or something like this, it sounds AMAZING, especially when they can do right and loud with a good sound

I played trombone for 7 years and have NEVER heard someone play with so much power, precision and SOUL!
Considering the majority of persons don't know how to play an instrument, it's incredible to see that SOMETHING on the insides TELLS YOU you're listening to GREATNESS!!!
The power of music
Underrated comment!
He touched that SOUL
I’ve never heard a trombone play this high. It sounds like a synth almost.
No need to insult the lad....
@@ScratchySlide It wasn't an insult, just an observation.
You shall listen to zoltan kiss than😂😂
You should definitely give a listen to David Steinmeyer. Great jazz trombonist with an absurd range
I personally can play most if not all the notes here, just not that many for that long. He, however, plays them like they're in the middle of his range, like they're nothing. It's incredible.
This is the most badass trombone I've ever seen

You can literally HEAR the passion and soul in every note. True talent right there. Hope he gets the recognition he deserves.
That man playing that trombone like the rent due.
Trombone player here. Having such a full sound in that register is fucking mental. Serious chops.
Facts bro
Ikr this dude is insane
*chops*
Agreed, I don’t want to believe it because it hurts how much this means that I’m bad
Yea most trombonists don't even have that range let alone the amount of comfortability he has up there.

When I say this video has had me in a chokehold for the past year, I mean it won’t. let. go. Guy is a phenomenal artist. The sheer amount of soul he brings makes me tear up if I’m feeling even mildly emotional whilst listening to him.
Truth! Been listening to it for 3yrs so far, still gets me.
His soul ignites ours! That Godly flow
Just found this earlier today and literally could not stop the tears and even now they're not far away. So interesting just pure joy to hear it's amazing
Nice to know I’m not the only one. It pierces the soul.
I'm so glad I'm not the only one that felt the emotion, it's insane what he put into it.
They better have taken this dude out to eat after the game was over, that solo warmed my soul

@@dineshjanapati6511 too far lol
@@dineshjanapati6511 Pause.
Here's another "as a trombonist" comment. As a trombonist, this was freaking NUTS. I played for 7 years and I could just barely hold those notes at the higher end of this, let alone play them with any stability or good tone quality. MASSIVE props to this guy.
play trumpet. Helped me a lot with my high notes on trombone.... but this solo is so much more then just high notes. Its art!
@@Simon-jw1ww very well said
Bass trombone supremacy
When you get to play that loud, it’s easier to get good stability on higher notes.
which is why we have different chairs there is a method of practice to increas your upper limits and then there are ways to increase your endurance these are not the same kind of training and or practice.
Tears rolled down my face involuntarily listening to this 😭😭😭
I didn’t even know trombones were capable of sounding like this 🤯 The literal epitome of moving in your purpose
as a retired trombonist, I can say this is the most impressive thing I've ever seen. Those notes are NOT easy to hit, especially in a row like that. my respects
He's the younger brother of Hank Bilal, his name is William Bilal.
Same for me.
I played in high school. I was never that good
Same here
As someone who can call themselves
"A retired Trombonist", why on Earth did you give it up? Did you not enjoy it anymore?
It's just so clean. And they're not just playing it they're playing it with soul. So so so good.
Edit: There seems to be a bit of debate over what constitutes "clean." To my admittedly untrained ear, it sounded clean. Ok? Ok.
Or maybe there just playing for fun not that serious
@@skypremix2515 isn’t that basically what playing with the soul means
Ya uh,that’s what playing with soul isXD
Yeah, I'm failing to see how playing with soul = not fun. They are clearly having a lot of fun and are very good and are pouring every ounce of both enjoyment and skill into that performance. That's why it's so good. It's not some wrote rehearsal of a piece they don't care about it's an expression of everything that makes music amazing.
Clean? Did we listen to the same video? They have some things they need to clean up as a section.
im fascinated by the absolute emotional journey from the person that stands up at 0:40 lol they were so invested
Absolutely chilling. You can hear the raw emotion in his playing and it is tear-inducing
Hell of a player. And it’s no joke how much having your band hype you up while playing gets you the energy to get through stuff like this.
This is on a whole different level of truth!! You can tell when they started to feel it so did he!!
I wonder how their lungs felt after that-
The adrenaline it gives u
This man is pouring EVERYTHING into EVERY SINGLE NOTE.
It may have cost 1 lung and exploded his lips, but he made it worth it.
Yes he did
You know it's crazy when the transcription looks like a flute part
😂😂😂
Frfr😂😂😂
I come back to this every few months, almost a pilgrimage at this point.
That is some absolutely ridiculous trombone playing. Very few people can do that.
I can play that high but not with that much control and that good of tone, PLUS so much soul, it's fucking insane! The dude is insane.
This is not disrespect, quite the contrary. To make a trombone sound like a damn kazoo?!? holy hell that is talent. One of the best trombone performances I have ever heard. Well played.
The secret: consume a kazoo
I think it’s the mic that’s picking it up that’s compressing the sound :)
@@FeistyPineapple definitely cant handle all of them lol
it's probably the proximity effect of the phone mic, mixed with the way he's playing which is similar to a voice.
As a trombone player myself sometimes we play with just such energy it comes out like that it gets really really raspy like that the louder you play and the faster your air moves through the instrument, it's really a acquired taste in sound tho
Dude. Seriously?? WOW!! I've listened to this 100 times. We really need a version without all those announcements at the start!! Big ups legends!
it's one out there
I can't be the only one that returns every now and then and is amazed more and more with every listen
Former high school band nerd here: the trombone section always seemed to have the most fun of any section of the band with the possible, POSSIBLE, exception of the percussion section...... That being said, this gave me chills...
I’ve only been in high school band for a year and I can fully agree with you. It’s a bit weird, I’m very introverted but when I’m with my section it’s like my wild side is realeased.
It's the not-so-secret secret club of awesome in the back of the rehearsal room, and in the front of the marching band.
Hell I agree, never had so much playing the bone than with others, my section and I had a traditional song
As a part of being in a Marching band during my high school years. I play flute for 1 season, Trumpet for 2 seasons, and caller guard for 1 season (pretty much I’ve being a part of my school marching band for my entire high school years). The trumpet section was the most funnest section as the Trumpeters in that section are fun to hang out with, except that one emo guy. Flute was ok, They’re mostly serious and passionate, though they have a fun side as well. I hate caller guard position, those flags are heavy af and they expect me to swirl it back and forth and dance around with it, I almost hit one trombonist one time during our practice.
Even though I don’t play the Trombone. The people that plays in the Trombone section having the nicest and chilling people. I’m friends with 1-2 of them.
As a trombonist, I feel it is needed to say I'd like to see a trumpet try that.
As I trumpet player I could never. My lips hurt from playing cold hearted 😭😭😭
Even if you could it wouldn't sound as good
This. This right here is true
I transposed it and did. It’s not hard on trumpet. This dude played a super amazing piece which a ton a soul, but it is only hard for his instrument. Stop picking fights when you don’t know what you’re talking about.
Edit: The score is on musescore. Just look up “black blues trumpet”
@@informationnotavailable6433did you write it out? If so, can you send me the sheet music? I would like to try for myself

dude as a former trombonist myself this got me too, sitting here tearing up from the sheer talent
This is one of those things that UA-cam will reccomend to everyone like in a few years and it will go viral
As a percussionist I’ve always been overwhelmed by how brass and wind players can just push every ounce of passion and emotion through their instrument. This is singing without words
As a trumpet player I can tell you right now. The way we sing without words and seem to have boundless energy is from our passion. We put all our emotion and hopes and dreams into our music, singing with soul!
As a guitar player ive never heard something so beautiful, so honest and passionate . Those words really dont sum up how i feel watching this. I just tear up

@@wmac382Maybe you need help.
Dude borderline sounds like a woodwind with only a couple bent pieces of tubing. Absolutely insane talent.
The ability of American trombone players in particular to make the extreme high register have the same body of sound as the low-middle is astounding.
It’s the football. Nothing beats playing stand tunes to hype up the crowd and just wanting to let it rip. More people see college marching bands than DCI finals or any other band play. That energy is unreal. The first time I got to play in front of over 80,000 people in my college marching band was surreal. The cheering is so loud you can barely hear yourself playing no matter how loud it is. Play some high notes in that environment for the whole season and you put so much air through your horn you start to sound like that. We don’t try to sound polite and beautiful, we try to bring the swagger to tens of thousands of people and we blow until it works
@@jacksonpalmer8955 it's an ability I've also noticed in players with no involvement in football.

It's as if the trombone were fused to his soul to allow it to speak. How he's able to convey so much emotion with an instrument like that shows how deeply music is intertwined with our rawest emotions.
This the most epic trombone solo ever! Well done!
As a trombone player, this is top notch
Well, maybe just above that...
This is light-years beyond talent. This is skill, dedication, triumph, and BADASS BEHAVIOR!
What I absolutely love (besides that otherworldly trombone solo):
- they played this during a trombone battle against another school. Though no winners were declared, from this alone I think we all know who "won."
- the reason why the rest of the band looks so surprised and hyped is that this is the first time anyone out of the trombone section heard this piece.
- even the crowd behind them watching the game got hype for it. If you look closely, you'll see people immediately start standing up and beelining over to the band section.
- though it doesn't show in this clip, in the original video, the roar from the crowd and the band were deafening. They all KNEW what they just witnessed and they dunked on the other band h a r d.
What battle was it I want to see what the other school got I’m curious
Battle? More like massacre - this tbone section is AMAZING

i remember watching this when it came out and was absolutely amazed like everyone else. I really wanted to play this solo but never had nearly the range for it. Now, looking back on this solo, I realise my range is very near what I need for this, so I'm going to start pushing my range up in order to be able to play this solo, hopefully half as good as Bilal does here. wish me luck!

Yes! I LOVE that moment when a musician has tapped you on the shoulder like, "listen here, I got something to say!"
@@chenzirasneedwell said. As a musician that's one of the best feelings, seeing someone get sucked into your performance
You can also see members of the band pissed that the people working the sound system started playing music while the trombones were playing 😂 been there done that
this is so incredible to me man… like the way the music moves through everyone, i watch a different person every time and the impact his playing has on everyone (including me) is just so impressive
I don't know what it is but he has so much soul in his playing he just pours out pain and empathy in his playing. It's so beautiful it makes me heavy and burdened while also feeling like something is being lifted off of me. It's so beautiful
We played this in high school my senior year, our lead trombone came close but no one will ever top this guy.
geez bruh what high school you go to? We had one guy in college that could play like this and idk if the rest of the section could have backed him up lol
Russell County High School in Alabama. Fairly unknown school, they don’t do anything except a couple competitions a year. That was my senior year, I was on bass guitar in the stands and in the pit. We had the guy on trombone, a few more trombone players backing him up, and then the only two sousaphones and me on the bass part. It was a good time all around
Name of peice?
It’s called Black and Blues
Man, life ain't fair. I can't even make a cake without getting eggshells in it and here these folks are releasing the sound of the galaxy.
😂😂😂😂
These yolks
I love this, y'all need to record this officially and in full without the cheering😌🎶🎶🎶🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I’m so glad my band teacher played this as we where packing up so I can listen to it again and again and again
As a baritone and tuba player I can’t fully understand trombones, but I know the pitches, and that is absolutely crazy. I am not even gonna try to describe that insanity in words.
Trombone is ultimately just slippery baritone
Me: In-band
Nobody: ...
Baritone player: trombones are baritones
Me: the baritone player who posted this so if they were the same how would he not know
Answer man: They aren't the same because pushing against this extra resistance makes playing high notes easier on the baritone than on the trombone. What the two instruments do have in common, is that they play approximately the same range of notes. This is because the length of tubing is roughly the same in both
To understand trombone you must understand that the only real rules is the end of the bell is your best friend and first position is the only true position (this is rarely subject to change)
@@bugsbunny6954 They are similar enough though. I’ve known someone who picked up the valve trombone; they are almost identical at that stage and the only difference is just the tone of the instrument.
To understand trombone you must become one with the trombone
A level of stank some could never achieve. Literally the coolest
Absolutely filthy. I love it.
as a trombonist myself, I must say that this is extremely impressive
I could never play like this, my respect
trombones had the woodwind section lit!
