I believe it's that Gordon is a phenomenal player and can alter his tone to suit the style of the piece. Awesome playing from all through, especially to Aaron, the daddy of the euphonium!!
He’s currently the conductor for the Motor City Brass Band in Michigan, as well as playing cornet in the Five Lakes Silver Band (also from Michigan) which his son Chris is the conductor of. Both of the Wards are amazing!
This band certainly is a contrast to the little Salvation Army Band one might see performing on a street corner. These are top knotch pro soloists! How impressive! How about that cornet player! He has a tongue like a snake! You would be hard pressed to find a better concert Band of this level anywhere!
Hi, I was there and did photos of the concert but my question is - where is the video footage of the rest of the concert? I got photos of Allen turning his trumpet upsidedown. Richard and his crew did a great job with sound and taping. RB
FYI - This is a mix of a few traditional Jewish wedding songs: "Chasen Kalle Mazal Tov" and "Siman Tov uMazal Tov", not the Call of the Cossacks. (Not sure where all that Bumblebee solo stuff came from!)
S S means Save to Serve. Salvation army is a christian organisation bringing souls to Christ through Music, Fellowship and Outreach. God has given each and every one of these musicians a gift and they are using it correctly. If you should do some research you will see most musicians got their early start in music from the church. Some went pagan, some continue to glorify God through music. THANK GOD FOR ALL HIS MERCIES AND GIFTS!
@teejaytiger Those are paid by donations and money raised with concerts. Also the members in some Salvation Army Staff Bands have to pay a kind of contribution... The reason why they play in a none-paid/none-profesional band is because they play with a special meaning, a special drive...which can not be found in any other band! That's more important than whatever money....although I don't see that none of them did musical studies or are making money with music (teacher, producer, director)
... why does the cornet sound so much like a trumpet? shouldn't the tone be less bright? On the other hand the entire thing was so well played, the I really should complain. Just wondering though.
Let's all applaud and glorify these men. Look at me. I am amazing. Me, me, me. Pride. How does this in any way glorify the Name of Jesus? The focus is on themselves, not on the Savior.
Why so nasty M,Maclean? They play for the Glory of God & to praise Him & bless others..If you believe only the best is good enough,you have to put in hours of hard work to reach this standard, but it's so so easy to knock others isn't it?
Beautiful
Wow. Burt Mason with his trombone solo was the most insane thing I've ever heard!
What amazes me the most is that they all make it seem so effortless.
The black guy and the euphonium is awesome :D

Awesome playing from all through, especially to Aaron, the daddy of the euphonium!!

the black guy on the trombone was really good. playing monti's czardas as if he were maxim vengerov- really impressive and classy. 5 stars
I meant 3 solos.
@Saviornitho i also thought there should be one,
that s real hard...
@babushkeena
I hope they also teach the band members to appropriately respond to rhetorical, smartass comments :)
there was a baritone. it was some big stalky guy.
holy fuck ö
it is, if you controle it like they do..... Must have been hard work to be that good....
I came.

Czardas by Alastair Kay. Check it out.
i don't suppose anyone could tell me where to find a downloadable mp3 version of this performance, could you?
You can use a site like savefrom.net to convert youtube videos to mp3.
same with the cornet part
@FoolOfSparta Let's see it then
@azblue321 why grease the slide, it looked fine?
I can just about double tounge, and not even that fast
WHERE IS THE XYLOPHONE SOLO???????
trombone doing flight of bumblebee part omg!!..
... why does the cornet sound so much like a trumpet? shouldn't the tone be less bright?
On the other hand the entire thing was so well played, the I really should complain. Just wondering though.
Does anybody know the euohonium player's name?
@azblue321 his wife will like that...
So who pays for the Instruments for the salvation army? And I'm pretty sure those uniforms aren't donated...
The cornettist doesn't need 2 solos, as good as he is. Sorry.
Strepitoso!!
Let's all applaud and glorify these men.
Look at me. I am amazing. Me, me, me. Pride.
How does this in any way glorify the Name of Jesus?
The focus is on themselves, not on the Savior.
the solos are 'ad libitum' aren't they??
Urbie Green does the bumble bee on t-bone better. Check it out !
that xylo dude sucks... WHY DIDNT HE PLAY HIS SOLO
Why so nasty M,Maclean? They play for the Glory of God & to praise Him & bless others..If you believe only the best is good enough,you have to put in hours of hard work to reach this standard, but it's so so easy to knock others isn't it?
