i know right? they’re the best tuba section i’ll ever have in my time in high school. one is a tmea all stater, another plays in a symphony, and another is just good at what he does
My trombone section changed this part to “little brown jug” by Glenn Miller. Fits absolutely perfectly into the music too so the director let it slide 😂
@@optionaljazz But the bass trombone is a fairly difficult instrument. Too much air, you're overpowering the entire band. Not enough air, nothing comes out. And that margin is pretty thin.
@@WRA-ik5dh broken arrow 2021 was better than 2022 tbh. Also marching band gets over 5-6 months of time to perfect their music, while concert bands mostly get around 1 month.
it’s all based on how much the kids practice out of school and how much the band director cares about teaching them!!! i get not everyone can take their instruments home.
I don't think so. But my middle school band had a very good teacher and was a very good class, so we ended up playing grade 4 pieces and doing quite well at it.
Listened to the audio recording and rather say the tone of the whole band is amazing! Also your tone is really beautiful! Sounds like everyone in the band actually works hard unlike my band… great job once again!
I'm just like "high schools sound like that now?" My high school band wasn't bad per se, but there would always be one section that's a bit out of line.
@@jnbplaysgames yes! I just think teachers working us individually a bit more would help! There’s just not very many players who try but could have potential to be really good.
I saw one of your comments on another video saying that you did one of these too. Fortunately this popped up on my recommended and good job! You’re amazing!
@@KaweeweeBoy felt that. I played tenor sax in high school and sometimes I’d get really cool/unique parts and other times I’d have the first like 3 sections filled with rests :’)
the life of euphonium players too. You know that you don't get enough composer love when you have a 3 measure, mostly half note solo and the entire section has a war over who will get to play probably the one solo in their high school band life.
So interesting to hear this from the "trombones only" perspective. Very cool to see how the trombones really support the bottom end. By the way, You're a damn good trombonist! I seriously thought you were professional!
It made me so happy to see that I’m not the only one who pushes my glasses up at the middle. I feel like I always see people push them at the sides, or even at the edge of the lens.
I feel like especially in December, I'm getting this song recommended in different bands with different parts. I heard saxophone, trombone, bass clarinet, trumpet, tuba, everything
I just stumbled onto your video. Your tone is spot on and you have that great brassy sound in all the right locations in the music. You are a GREAT trombonist! Keep it up! By the way, I play the same part in our local community band!
Nice to see this from another perspective. I've played the Euphonium part first when I like you was a HS student (67-72) and then recently last December in a local Concert Band. Cheers and thanks for sharing.
I remember playing this way back in my high school years.... 9th grade on the sax, 10th grade on the bells, 11th and 12 th on the tuba.... Miss those old days... beautiful job, well done
These young people are trained in good performance, by a grand teacher. Did it many years in a row myself as a High School BD. What fun. The students are enjoying themselves.
Ok, sure, trombone is fun, but have you ever felt the ABSOLUTE EUPHORIA of playing slapstick in sleigh ride? It's just so satisfying to play that one singular note when EVERYONE ELSE cuts out and you're perfectly on beat. It's amazing.
LOVED IT!!! More, more! I loved watching you play this trombone on one of my favorite Christmas tunes. Loved hearing the bass line coming in and going out and how it contributed to the tune as a whole!
Leroy Anderson! My dad was a trombone player - worked for the "BBC Northern Ireland Light Orchestra". This is the kind of thing they used to perform every day - it was 'light music' like this. He used to tell me this was quite difficult to play - classics were a lot easier!
Man I miss playing trombone, when I got to high school for some reason my school only had marching and I think jazz where I just wanted to do concert stuff.
Wow your Gb tuning slide is like really far in compared to mine lol, i have to pull mine like an uncomfortable amount out for it to be in tune, but yea really nice tone!! Glad to see my bass trombone brethren have some content as well
You sound so good let’s go! I’m hyped now, so many talented musicians out there it always blows my mind in the most amazing way while also being super humbling.
I always liked 1:45 when we played but the counter melody yall add omg it's gorgeous, it's small but it adds a lot (from a clarinetist from across the band, I appreciate you)
Came into my YT feed just in time for holidays 2022 🎄🎄 One of my fav holiday tunes and you all did marvelously well-thanks for putting a smile on my face! 🔔🔔
SO GOOD! Ive always wanted to have/play a really nice F attachment trombone but my high school was broke and only had one and the first chair used it and i dont own one
Never missed a beat! The first time I heard "Sleigh Ride" was in the 70's on an LP of The Boston Pops Orchestra directed by the late GREAT Author Fiedler!. Look the Orchestra up and find out about them. John Williams took over for several years before leaving to dedicate his time to composing. He composed many of the pieces he conducted in his time.
Your tone quality is amazing!!!! Also the way you did the dynamics put my band to shame. As someone who plays clarinet parts often it was cool to hear from another section
I've played this many times in our community band but we are a small group so I've always played first chair and we never had a bass bone. This sounds so full with a full brass section.
okay can we talk about the crazy good tone the tubas have.
i know right? they’re the best tuba section i’ll ever have in my time in high school. one is a tmea all stater, another plays in a symphony, and another is just good at what he does
@@KaweeweeBoy neat
@@KaweeweeBoy this popped up in my recommended and I was like "mm, maybe someone mentioned us in the comments." Hell yeah
I know right? I was just listening to them the whole time
The euphonium section is right on point.
I saw the pov of both trumpets. You guys sound amazing.
im not actually in the same school as them, but thank you! they sound great too.
*Trombones
@@mystico4142 They’re probably talking about another video where there are trumpets.
Link pls
yeah i also saw one with clarinets
2:30 has always been my favorite part of this song. thank you trombonists for giving me that.
It’s makes me think of go big blue if you have any idea what that is
@@nathanyoung8434 fr fr (its a pep band stand tune) Same exact notes, but different rythms
@@nathanyoung8434 THAT'S WHAT I WAS ABOUT TO SAY!!! Except ours is called go big orange lol
My trombone section changed this part to “little brown jug” by Glenn Miller. Fits absolutely perfectly into the music too so the director let it slide 😂
@@DeeDubble88 yeah pretty much every school just calls it "go big (insert school spirit color here)"
the amount of AIR and BREATH CONTROL this takes. respect from a fellow trombone player cuz damn dude
its not a super difficult piece
@@optionaljazz yes i’m aware lmao. i’m just saying they’re talented and their sound is very good
@@optionaljazz But the bass trombone is a fairly difficult instrument. Too much air, you're overpowering the entire band. Not enough air, nothing comes out. And that margin is pretty thin.
@@WSlopeAggie im aware, since i play the bass trombone.
Super good and clean tone!! I like how you sound, nice work
thank you very much!
its crazy how good they sound for just a high school band. every high school band I've listened too (including my own) has always sucked
Search ofallon marching panthers 2022 or broken arrow 2021 and find the most current field show :)

Ikr😂
@@jnbplaysgames its the trumpets in my band and it's not even lol of them
I’m clarinet and it is so hard. You guys did amazing. It was perfect!
Omg same, we have no rests😂
i played this in my winter concert this year but my band sounds like trash💀
yall sound really good tho, especially you, tone soothes my ears
i know the feeling lol
we got no rehearsals the week of our concert
(jazz band is prestine tho because we all practice)
We had the high schools jazz band play for us it was amazing.
We had our winter concert a month ago probably we did alright a lot of squeaks tho
Hey don’t call them trash you all just need more practice and to try harder they all try their best!
@@haroldisintrouble they don’t practice tho
I don’t either
We did to but we sounded good until the top band showed us up later in the concert
Ugh I'm addicted to these slay ride perspective videos
Very well done :)
Yessirrr I'm doing oboe and English horn (big oboe) for my honor symphony this year and I'm def gonna film it
I also play trombone and I can’t wait to play this song next year because how clean it sounds you guys did so amazing
same LOL
I saw one of your comments on another video saying that you did one of these too. Fortunately this popped up on my recommended and good job! You’re amazing!
Was it the saxophone video too?
@@Jackietubepro I think so
20% playing skill, 80%counting skill
the life of a bass trombonist
not joking when i say i have 220 measures of rest in the beginning of one of our uil pieces

Great entertainment. Having heard that song sooooo often, a fresh new look is ever so enjoyable! Instructive too!
The background and lighting looks really similar to these 2 trumpets who recorded their perspective.
haha, yeah i just realized that but we’re in separate schools
What fun. She is so good and her expressions are priceless. My husband plays the bass trombone, so I have an appreciation for all the work.
i’m pretty sure he’s a man
Wait I thought he was a boy
@@ItzMeItzMe_ I can’t tell💀
@@DiscreetLuka The channel name helped me figure it out.

Please, for the love of sanity, just say bari sax
@@clamchowder893 bari saxist
@@aletheia874 😭😭😭😭😭
Always good when I can hear a good young trombonist.
I played this about 3 years ago on tuba and it's fun to still recognize my part :)
it's time for our parts to be recognized lol
Those clarinets have amazing tone omg what
we’re playing this this year n our trombones could never 😭😭
Very nice !!!! Good job, you are a fine musician !!
thank you!
Crying, the clarinets sound beautiful
I feel like especially in December, I'm getting this song recommended in different bands with different parts. I heard saxophone, trombone, bass clarinet, trumpet, tuba, everything
i play tenor and ahh how i miss this. Band was great. Keep up the good work fellas.
Ahhhhh bubba!!!! She played it!!! Brought back memories of playing the bass tromebone in school. Thanks! 😀😀😀

Also love the devil horns for the holiday concert 😂
haha thank you!! i saw the devil horns and had the sudden urge to wear it for the fun of it
I can’t with hats lol. I wore a Santa hat to our winter concert but started sweating a bit so I took it off.
@@extremecowz7694 yeah idk why but its always 200 degrees during a concert
@@parrotmaster8787 stage lights give off quite a bit of heat
this is me still listening christmas songs at the last week of january lol. very clean play btw
Play girl!!!! :-) I played this song on Trombone with the trigger back in high school 40+ years ago. Loved it.
I wish we had that capability when I was in high school. Enjoyed this.
Outstanding for a High School student. Flawless.
I’ve been a bunch of these videos and you’re finally the first clean one ✊🏻
Gonna be playing this on bass trombone for our next Christmas concert so this helped
I enjoyed that. I played trombone in the school band 45 years ago. Great job. Thanks for sharing.
This young lady plays beautifully- hope she’s still playing!
im pretty sure that’s a guy
bro has a whole mustache
@@alexvaladez3641 she has a bow in her hair

young man lol

I listened at the link and this it is a rather above average performance for a high school.
we are learning a whole different version of sleigh ride
I remember playing this way back in my high school years.... 9th grade on the sax, 10th grade on the bells, 11th and 12 th on the tuba.... Miss those old days... beautiful job, well done
Damn man crazy work! you did great getting the real Christmas spirit! 💪🏽🎄
Love this song and that instrument!!!
As a percussionist who has played all the percussion parts on this, it’s great to see another perspective.
I wish we had these type of phones when I was in HS so much of this was missed out on! Love my bass trombone days!
This is the first time I've seen a left-handed bass trombone. Hurrah, fantastic.
Very amazing and clean tone. Im a bass trombonist myself but my highschool has 3 basses, so when I played sleigh ride I took all of it down an octave
These young people are trained in good performance, by a grand teacher. Did it many years in a row myself as a High School BD. What fun. The students are enjoying themselves.

Great tone! And a shoutout to my fellow Tubas, they’re sounding real solid!
Nice to see more than one one person playing the 3rd part
This makes me kind of miss being in the school band. I never got along with anyone though - and I quit 8 years ago so it's too late now haha.
Leroy Anderson! My dad was a trombone player - worked for the "BBC Northern Ireland Light Orchestra". This is the kind of thing they used to perform every day - it was 'light music' like this. He used to tell me this was quite difficult to play - classics were a lot easier!

Y'all literally sound amazing

She’s right on target with a beautiful full tone, and in tune all the way. Bravo!! Way to fill up that horn Missy!
He's*
I miss those concerts. Played many of them. I PLAYED "TRIGGER BONE" as we called it like this young lady is playing.
Ur articulations are on POINT
used to be a trom player...you are so good man... excellent pitching. subbed..:) show more content for sure
I loved playing go big during the song, it was my favorite part of the song lol
Assuming this is a high school band. This is an excellent High School band instructor(s). He/she has these kids playing beyond their years. Well done.
You guys sounded amazing and I really like your headband!!
An excellent video, and an excellent player; thanks!
ur a wonderful trombone player. after i saw every trombone note i see u got them all correct. very impressive
The bass trombone part has always been my favorite part of this song! This was done incredibly well.
Sounds so good!!
thank you!
you did too!
I’ve noticed how different things sound from different parts of the room. I feel like people always forget that.
Excellent for a middle school band!
a trombonist and valo player. respect!
great to hear the contribution of instruments other than melody ones. Sounds real good, there!
You orchestra plays very well and so do you

Fabulous, keep it up. Great sound you have.
kind of late but great show! i just finished sleigh ride with my school's band also is that a douglas yeo mouthpiece i think we may have the same
First time I've seen two left-handed trombonists playing left-handed instruments in the same section!.
i'm a percussionist and the french horn/bass trombone are my literal favourite brass instruments ong
why am I finding every part to this
This was so wonderful. Thank you so much for posting it!
Nice tone I really love this!
That was fun to watch. A different point of view.
i just played temple blocks for this exact song 😭😭 i loved the trombone part sm
So fun! What a great player!
