Amazing !

It was good. The regimental things aren't my style, per se, but very well done. My only thing is that is sounds like you lipped about a step or so too low on the last note. Like you played a Bb instead of the C as you did earlier. I'm only a freshman in college and can only hit an F above high C, so I cant really give critique on what I cant do, just what I thought happened. It sounded really good. Thank you for your service to our country. I greatly appreciate everything you did/do :)

[number1trumpeter]

@jerrygoodnght He played a G instead of a C and, although I would not have chosen that as a last note myself, it was done on purpose and I respect his choice :)

[jerrygoodnght]

@number1trumpeter As do I. He's a great player :)

[Super3794]

thats not very good

[paramedic654]

@Super3794 Are you For Real ! That was Amazing ! If you know how to play trumpet , you should be amazed by what he did ! If you didnt like that , i dont think you can play as good as he did !

[davidjmair]

Excellent performance -- made it your own, with building intensity for the end.

[armandolevano]

[johnnyholliday]

unlike most musicians my performance is not based on how many people are there when i perform...its based on playing from the heart...what u don't know is that shortly before I was asked to play that day i had recently returned from Iraq so I've earned that right 2 play it the way i want to...

[johnnyholliday]

just so you know...i didn't perform that version to show off how i play...if i wanted to do that...believe me you would've known the difference...when i performed the National Anthem that day...i played it how i felt to play it...

[jjbrains]

HOAH! and then you phucken DESTROYED IT <<< WELL DONE G

[tyoonz]

Sir, I found your performance wonderful!. As a trumpeter, myself, I can only aspire to your level of proficiency! Your technical brilliance adds a great deal of what the tune needs. Is this arrangement available for purchase?
