Congratulations to these young people for: playing Metheny, learning an extremely complex piece, doing a very fine job. I admire you for playing this music instead of sitting in front of a computer just talking about it like me.
Wtf are you guys babbling about? Yes, this is an extremely difficult piece, yes, there is a second A above the staff, and yes that is very high! but seriously, its not the highest note in the world. I've played songs that have had a second C above the staff! So please quit arguing...
"...I prefer Second trumpet for solos or an entirely lower part..." That says it all right there. Look IF, we're just offering up some constructive criticism for these kids. It sounds to me like someone criticized you a little too much as a kid and now you're thin-skinned. Just relax a little and learn to accept criticism; you'll be a much happier person ;-).
Disregard InterestingFlavour. I'm pretty sure he has no idea what he's talking about. I only played trumpet through high school and we were hitting notes that high my freshman year. This is cool for sure, but those brass kids really need to practice.

BRAVO!!! Great arrangement and execution!
thanks for picking a great song and doing it justice
You know, this comment section reminds me of a joke I heard a few years back.
What is a trumpet player's best method of birth control?
His ego.
Very nice, gang. Well done.
I have not. But, I've played trumpet for 15 years and professionally during some of that time. So I have a pretty good idea of what's going on. ;)
Exactly what I've been saying. IF just needs to take a chill pill (or 2! ;-) ) and relax a bit. Life is really too short.
Seriously is the most epic piece ever written.EVER.
Not a bad effort on a difficult bit of music - well done!
Sounds good!!
tried to play that on piano.. it's so effing hard.. but those guys are doing quite good.. congrats
This more than enough for me. I like it.
I actually know quite a bit about music. Those are not, as you say, "ridiculously high notes."
Love this piece, some of the percussion ( aux.-mostly or bongos w/e it is) is kinda bothering me though
Pretty crazy. Nice arrangement. High brass needs some help though.
Wow InterestingFlavor, don't get your panties in a bunch. Life's too short to get worked up when you've clearly been proven wrong.

Let me guess, you are in 7th grade and just made 2nd chair in your school band.

*Sigh* Bro, seriously, relax a bit. There's really no reason to get this worked up over some simple criticism.
