@@fredrik952I spoke with an ex-trumpet player for the President’s Own marine band and he said that you should aim for a high C (high Bb for bass clef) with your finger under the third valve in order to prevent it from going all the way down while vigorously shaking the horn
NICE JOB!! (And the “horse whinney” at the end was perfection.) As a brass & woodwind teacher for 33 years (and a musician who has played this piece about 13 times), you can trust me when I say you did an outstanding job. You weren’t just good technically - you played it MUSICALLY! Keep it up. The worldwide tribe of musicians is happy to have you among us!
@@kaitlynr8688i play the trumpet, and when my fingers are flat theres a higher chance of me pushing sideways (thats how the valves get stuck). Curving them makes me push straight up and down which is better for the valves! (i’m not a professional though, just from my experience)
I was so impressed with how well you guys watched the conductor. The tone quality was pretty darn good and you guys did really good with dynamics. All of that was very impressive. All of you guys were truly one unit.
I am a band director as well and I have to say that your tone, attention to articulation, and dynamic contrast is exceptional! Keep playing! Truly talented musicians!
i don’t play trumpet nor am i in band anymore (graduated high school 3 years ago) but this brings back so many memories of christmas rehearsals and holiday concerts. i wish my band and i did these videos back then. u 2 sound great AND THAT NEIGH WAS THE BEST IVE EVER HEARD
I graduated HS over a decade ago but this was always the most fun song to play around Christmas. Our director did not like doing it every winter concert but almost every section has a really fun part to play, so it always made its way into the program.
Man this bring back memories. Used to play trumpet back in high school and had a Christmas concert playing Sleigh Ride as well. Keep up the great work guys. Trumpets represent! 💪🏼
I've been on a kick of watching Sleigh Ride and have probably seen 100 of these videos. You two are the unequivocal best of the trumpets. You're focused, you nail the tone, and it was a pleasure to watch you as you are intentional in playing well.
I’m a trumpet player! I started in 5th grade and now I’m a 7th grader! You guys so good together! And your guises rhythm is on point! I hope to be as good as you guys when I’m older and advance in trumpet playing
Guy on the right, I know a face of someone (usually percussion) messing up😂Regardless, both of you were on point, and the horse whinny was fantastic!! 10/10, this was a textbook performance. Well done!
I’m a freshman trumpet playing 1st cornet on this piece in December at my first high school band concert. I’m kinda terrified but extremely excited haha!
I know I'm late but I love this video! The band sounds so great and you two sound amazing as well! (coming from a 2nd year trumpeter) Sleigh ride never gets old with videos like these (In my opinion, best sleigh ride video from a trumpet's pov)
Fourth and final year of sleigh ride for me. I played both of your parts. I'll certainly miss it. Nice horse whinny as well, three valves isn't easy, I usually use one
I love hearing the bells desperately trying to keep the group from rushing but the horns and flutes are having none of it lol
as a flautist, i take offense, but also I DONT RUSH, HOWEVER, i cant say the same for the rest of my section
The saxes during the soli were on there own timing 💀
@@pharrahlowther so yeah the flutes rush... thats what the comment was
During rehearsals the saxes got cut out in a part WHERE THEY HAD THE MELODY cus the first chair was confused the whole time and playing random shit
That's all this song is. The tamb and sleigh bells trying to slow it down while everyone speeds up
facial expressions were on point
Notice how much I have memorized after playing it for four years 💪🏼
gotta do what you gotta do 🙏
guy on the right was DEDICATED, and the guy on the left was relaxed.
@@ariroary I could never keep a straight face, if I'm running out of air or hitting a pretty high note, you'll know for sure. 💀
@@Blackleg_Wanji oh definitely 💀 if someone plays a wrong note next to me i’m dead 😭😭
Horse neigh was bloody perfect! Even better than some professional bands.
how is that done? im not a trumpet player so it was pretty weird / impressive
@@dragonstorm9567 I am a euphonium player so don't actually know the technique behind it.
You just push your valves half way down and slur up and do this weird shake when going back down
@@fredrik952push your valves half way down, start high and shake the trumpet as you go down

I love their combined tone. They’re both so different but they sound amazing together.
What do you mean they're different? Wait, scratch that, one is a human, the other is antique farming equipment.

I'm a music teacher and I would love to show this video to my band students on how to properly watch a conductor. You guys cool with that?
Of course!
You might need to gimme some lectures because I have a very bad habit of not watching my director, I'm working on it though
@IDK man, same

@@idkman7481 make sure you know how to play ur music without looking at the sheet
Saw this in my recommended and was convinced it had at least over a million views, has that feel to it, great performance guys

Whats the difference between having their fingers arched vs flat when playing?
@@kaitlynr8688 Having them curved and pressing straight down on the keys is easier on the body AND allows the keys to be played more quickly.
@@kaitlynr8688i play the trumpet, and when my fingers are flat theres a higher chance of me pushing sideways (thats how the valves get stuck). Curving them makes me push straight up and down which is better for the valves! (i’m not a professional though, just from my experience)
@@jillybean2722 you are right, that indeed does get the valves more stuck when you play flat versus arched
1:22 bro had to lock in cause the saxes and clarients were rushing lol
Honestly at this point we should just see the tone as an alto sax player myself. ;)
bro on the left was shaking his head after that 😂😂😂
I swear every other school's band always has people that look like they're college students-adults lol
tuba in the back row lol
bro has a full grown beard 😂
@@pinkyoshi5433 high schoolers have gone through puberty…
@@caleyholland7601 yeah, but i was adding to the fact that the high schools band look like college students
My dumb ass thought they were playing inside a Home Depot
Haha

From a trumpet, love the playing but my god dude on the left- FLAT FINGERS?!?😭 loved the ending tho
It’s cause he got some long fingers, you can see at some point he tries to get away from that tho
2:10 is insane to do! Amazing work!! I love playing this song.
as a sax its def my least favorite part of the song
@@filmfreak5856I play clarinet and I hate that part with a passion
unpopular opinion: all of the trumpets need to do the horse whinny at the same time
and nice performance
That’d lowkey go crazy
i'd buy a trumpet and practice it secretly just so i can do that if we ever do this song at my school
@@everestissigmawhy secretly?
@@russellbrothers9627 so everyone will be surprised when i pull out a trumpet
@@everestissigma I remember I saw a pov of sleigh ride and the trombones pulled out trumpets at the horse whinny part and they did it too lol
The horse trumpet player is absolutely going places
most majestic looking trumpet players
EPIC HORSE NEIGH!!! Perfect for 2023 after Thanksgiving.
Great job guys!

woah it’s really him
Hello Luke!
I am a band director as well and I have to say that your tone, attention to articulation, and dynamic contrast is exceptional! Keep playing! Truly talented musicians!
Wow! I’m an eighth grade trumpet and you guys are amazing!
coming from an 8th grade percussionist it would be amazing to work with people of this skill level
@@ale_isanodd1 you will meet them in high school
as an 8th grade violinist who knows little to no knowledge about band, sleigh ride is somewhat easier to play in orchestra lmao
Ay eighth grade trumpet gang. It would be cool to play with these guys tbh
@@randomanimatorandgamer9392 nicee im 7th grade trumpet its pretty cool

Seriously, this sounded so freaking good, this is why I love the sound of a trumpet
as a fellow trumpet player..... TRUMPETS STAN Y'ALL SLAYED
DAMN that horse whinny was clean
I graduated HS over a decade ago but this was always the most fun song to play around Christmas. Our director did not like doing it every winter concert but almost every section has a really fun part to play, so it always made its way into the program.
Not only are they both amazing at playing and their whole band ate that up but they’re cute too!
The fact that it's way past Christmas and your music still got stuck in my head shows how amazing you are.
Edit: Mom I'm famous
1:04 favorite part😍, I love the way the trumpets match tone and just the way they sound together
Seeing two guys in tuxedos play such nostalgic Christmas music is just amazing 😂😂😂
Man this bring back memories. Used to play trumpet back in high school and had a Christmas concert playing Sleigh Ride as well. Keep up the great work guys. Trumpets represent! 💪🏼
me watching this in mid summer
Fr
I've been on a kick of watching Sleigh Ride and have probably seen 100 of these videos. You two are the unequivocal best of the trumpets. You're focused, you nail the tone, and it was a pleasure to watch you as you are intentional in playing well.
Criminally underrated. Amazing job, this legitimately could've been a professional band from the way it sounded!
This looks like its in the middle of a warehouse and now i love the image of just a band playing sleigh ride to like home depot employees
I love the subtle self-evaluations on the face. Success or failure. Love it. Shooting for excellence!
So progressive to feature two left-handed trumpets in the famous Backwards Italics H Gymnasium, home of the Ergos!
Can't wait for this to be recommended in 10 years
I’m a trumpet player! I started in 5th grade and now I’m a 7th grader! You guys so good together! And your guises rhythm is on point! I hope to be as good as you guys when I’m older and advance in trumpet playing

woah the tone of the whole band and the skills of you two are really impressive... bravo and keep practicing! happy holidays
I’m a freshman trumpet playing 1st cornet on this piece in December at my first high school band concert. I’m kinda terrified but extremely excited haha!
watched this when i was in 7th grade despratly wanting to play this, now im a freshman in high school on cornet 2 about to play this. amazin
i play the Bb trumpet part, and god it’s a beast, yall sounded amazing!!
this is the definition of two friends playing different parts
Band teacher here- you both have great sound! Keep working hard!
your guys tone is incredible!!! and the horse blow 🤌
why is the guy on the right tweakin so hard
I love how good this is played, i listen to this everytime i get ready for performances it makes me so motivated!
You two play well together!
I know I'm late but I love this video! The band sounds so great and you two sound amazing as well! (coming from a 2nd year trumpeter) Sleigh ride never gets old with videos like these
(In my opinion, best sleigh ride video from a trumpet's pov)
The cornet part and the trumpet part are so different but they work so well in this song. Great stuff!!!
2:50 i always thought that was an audio recording on a speaker, not a trumpet doing that! awesome job guys!
Ive seen this from every perspective now.
*ALL THINGS ARE EQUAL, AS THEY SHOULD*
Whenever y’all put up yalls horns you can tell the one on the right loves marching season😂
He marches in college now! I played trombone with these guys.
Bro on the right is sooooo fine
rhats what im SAYINGGGGGG
as a college music major this warms my heart
as a low brass player this is so impressive
low brass can do this too with enough willpower
@@ajhauter5049as a trombone and trumpet player it’s pretty hard
Saxes at 1:23 sounded like they were gonna take off 😭💀
The true dynamic Duo
Crazy how i'm just looking for sleigh ride videos to watch and I stumble upon a school in my state.
currently playing this in wind ensemble. good song 👍🏻
I knew something was off about the video but finally realized that it's mirrored haha
Great performance!
you know its starting to get chirstmas time when you see this video
Fourth and final year of sleigh ride for me. I played both of your parts. I'll certainly miss it. Nice horse whinny as well, three valves isn't easy, I usually use one
As a trumpet player in a band myself this is what I can say too you guys you were on point and fabulous much better that what I could do
The mosquito next to your ear at 3:00 AM 😂 2:32
Two class acts, really brilliant.
i picked up trumpet a couple weeks ago , and this gave me sm motivation 😭
As an 8th grader maybe someday ill be able to reach those high-notes amazing job.
I only pray the two of you are still pursuing music! What a gift you both possess. Well done.
Bro y’all articulation and pitch is so good great job 💯
i just love how this shows the real energy in actually trying during a concert! one of the best parts eveerrr
As a university trumpet player yall rocked
this is inspiring me to raise my standards for my personal performance in my school band
Same
you two did amazing! from percussion id be counting on yall
I am in love with this song
OH MY ACTUAL DAYS
The guy on the right is absolutely gorgeous omgggggggggggggggggggg
As a saxophone player I can just HEAR the saxophones rushing slightly and it is hurting
guy on the right seems super into it
This is incredible! Great job to the two of you, and of course the rest!
Perfectly captured what I look like during the 32 rest bars during a flute and clarinet dominated section
The horse neigh was really good wtf best one I’ve ever heard fssss
Much love
Dude on the right looked so scared the entire time with his eyes widening 💀
literally played this song for concert 5 days ago 😭
middle school band players:🤓
highschool band players: 😎
This is amazing and i know how hard it is because i am a trumpet beginner
This was really cool!! You guys are super talented
My school doesn’t do Christmas concerts anymore, it makes me sad we can’t play fun songs like this😂
dude on the right was so locked in
Wish I could’ve went but I just moved to Georgia so sadly I could play when I was supposed to go in 2 years. Amazing Job you guys!
We're doing this song for our jazz band this year
please tell me you guys are going to go do music after school, WAY WAY too much talent
Wow! You guys play the trumpet perfectly. Kids in my class are… 😥
the one on the right looks so scared lol
Cuz it take a lot to blow in a trumpet so some people make funny faces while playing
I remember playing this as a trumpet and seeing others play make me so happy ❤
Even with this relatively easy piece, I can tell how much control you have over your instrument.
I used to play trumpet, I know how hard it is to keep those high notes with the feeling of your throat being ripped out but y’all did amazing!!!
