Wow! I originally skipped watching this video when it came out on the search thinking, its a high school kid, its gonna suck bad. But WOOOW MAN!! I was wrong big time! Amazing kid!
good job! is there a video of your marching band online? i'm eager to see a marching band solo good enough to get you a full ride scholarship to college, lol.
well done. you sound good. i prob wouldve preferred more of your own interpretation of the song as opposed to an exact emulation of wayne b. still youre a sick trumpet player
Just a question, lol. out of curiosity. What mouthpiece are you playing out of? or at least in that video, lol. i'm really curious, thanks so much. Amazing job btw! i'm extremely impressed.
Mate, great preformance! But dude, you MUST be more relaxed and cool on the stage! This is a cool song and you should enjoy playing it! And show the crowd it! It looks like now that your determend to kill the notes on your shart with your eyes. Smile, be happy! And loved the high squeeze! <3
Great job dude! Nice sound with power, where there is smoke there is fire! You are real close man, keep listening to the greats and develop that attitude. Your dad should be proud, and your trumpet teacher!!
Also people need to understand. No-one gives a crap at how high you can go. It's about making it sound good. You can hit double C's all day and you'll never get a job if you can't play: In tune, in time with a good sound, and able to match articulation. FACT.
I never would have attempted something that high. I was glad when I could consistently play up to a high D. I never could reliably go above that though.
Man, that was nice! like, usually i see stuff like this and i'm like, "eh, this is probably going to suck" haha but you pulled it off! are those natural chops or did you develop them?
nice, but there really was no need for that lady to bring in the mic for a trumpet. to me it usually gets in the way of the sound quality of the horn and over powers the other instruments who may or may not be mic'd (in which case it distorts there sound also)

What a mess! Save all that screeching for Maynard Ferguson numbers and show some reverence for a great relegious number such as this. Can you play it straight with feeling and good tone? Don't get off to bad habits at such a young age.
@Hoivenman Dude, he was playing the version recorded by Wayne Bergeron and his band!!!!!!! WAYNE BERGERON!!!! Wayne played with Maynard and played the high solo lines for Maynard in the studio before he died!!! This guy did an amazing job at trying to replicate something that should be impossible.
@hahalol56 How many "elementary school band" players, or players in general can replicate arrangements written for Wayne Bergeron himself? Exactly. Until you are anywhere near that good, keep your opinions to yourself.
I'm sorry for my bad english. I hopes you all understand me.
I think the trumpet player is really good, but Jazz in a very nice Classic song is very improper. And listen the orchestra, false sound in both of the solo and the orchestra.
Jazz can be very nice, but do "O Holy Night" to a jazz song. No thanks. sorry.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I'm sorry but when the description reads "ala wayne b" you best have the chops to back it up - you don't. What is than nonsense at 2:00 through 2:10 - really bad and to compare it to "ala wayne b" is pathetic. As survivrs said - this is the most serious Christmas song. Apparently your playing doesn't respect this.
@Iceman444443 Wow, you suck. Like, I don't know if you're a trumpet player (if you are, I'm making what is a quite reasonable guess that you suck at that and are taking it out on talented young player), but even if you aren't, you suck as a person. "OH YOU COULDN'T HIT A DOUBLE AS CLEARLY AS WAYNE GOD DAMN BERGERON. YOU CALL YOURSELF A TRUMPET PLAYER," fuck you and your awful attitude.
At the risk of more negative votes, I will try to rephrase my remarks to sound more positive. I am not familiar with this trumpet player but obviously plenty of you here are familiar. Hands down, his vibrato is great, his ad lib was good, the thing I agree with everyone on is that it sounds like a middle school band in the background and the trumpets are horribly out of tune. I will not back down from my remark that this is prob. the most serious Christmas song and needs to be played as such.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Trumpet player talented but do they need to be reminded that this is a somber Christmas Song and not a jazz song. Also his 2nd and 3rd trumpets were out of tune very badly. This is just not a song to be played like this. Even with the talent, it SUCKS. The screeching is SO out of place. Sorry I can't be more positive.
Jazz is an adaptation of all musics... take a history course, please. God for bid that we re-arrange melodies and adapt traditions so that they impact more people.
--This is also an arrangement, the players are locked into what the arrangement calls for, and in this case treating a rock arrangement with a somber mood would kill the tune.. and the arrangement...
wayne bergeron would blush... congrats, you really know how to mix tone and style. I would suggest you buy a flugelhorn though, make your tone in the beginning much more like wayne. good job tho. :)
ha ha, nice D there...or attempt- I guess you it it for a fraction of a second. Your tone sounds awesome, especially when you go quieter. And this is a recording- I can imagine what it sounds like live. Good job!
Bravo!!! Well done!!! Your releases are too clean tho man!!! ;) Seriously, you are a monstrous talent. Equally impressive was your ability to concentrate amidst such awful playing from the band... Kripes!!
we played this arrangement this winter and it was AWESOME!!! We had a player of your caliber on the solo, but I think the band was a little better. That should be a beautiful piece, but the only beautiful part was your solo! lol. And grats on the full ride!
Now, what you have to work on is feeling. Too often you cut your notes off too quicky, like you are winded, which I don't think you are. You have a nice tone and you have to pull that out. Hitting an A or B above C is no big deal really. It's what you do with the rest of the registers that's seperates "screech artists" from well rounded trumpet players.
hey buddy. Great job with that solo. Obviously the band is young and weak, but you are young and solid. I play lead trumpet on ships and there was a guest entertainer who tried to play this chart with our backing band. He didn't have the D, his A was weak, and he basically had no sound. You're like 18 and have him schooled on this tune. It's hilarious.
Listen to the band from 55secs-1.07. It's very out of tune on just long note chords. No disrespect intended towards the soloist who's doing a fine job, but you deserved a group that should have practiced a bit more on just basic stuff.
honestly, you can only place the blame of a band being this bad solely on the squares of the terrible directing entity that is (well, was) Mrs. Ector. (you see her at the last second)
I was in this band, I had to play bari-sax because everyone hated her so much that they didnt want to play in her band or try for her. AND, i remember this song specifically, because we never fucking worked on it. She'd us play through it, and she'd just hear Gio and assume everything was fine.
The bottom line is this, this dude is gonna be the shit very, very soon. Hell, half the reason that I played bari is because I knew I wasnt gonna get shit for solos.
But yeah, the dude played like this a year and a half ago. He's gotten exponentially better every year I've known him. If you dont know who Giovani Santiago is by now, chances are it wont be much longer.
Great tone, awesome range!!! I would've preferred the piece be played with the upper register being the icing on the cake, though. I'm not saying you shouldn't have played the D, but you could've left a different part of your upper register interpretation out of it. What I'm trying to say is, this was played very well, but the high notes stopped getting surprising after about the second set. Just personal preference.
Couple things. I absolutely loved what you did at 0:44 with that part, freaking amazing. And you have such a beautiful sound up in C-E range. That E in the third bar of the higher part of the solo was balls to the wall. It is pretty amazing the difference in talent between you and the rest of that band, how are you so much better than everybody else? And to anybody that told you not to play that D at the end, you can clearly tell it is a note you can play just going by how fat you hit it there.
great job man! your tone was awsome! that little 12 year old does not know what he is talkin about. ive been playin for 4 years and while my tone is good, you obviously have better. buut i did make 1st part in pep band with 3 senors ;)
Nice try. Respect this guy, Gio. He'll definitely get somewhere with his playing. Unbelievable player and nice tone all around the horn. Too bad the band didn't follow you so you had to kind of rush parts and come in whenever worked for them... You're the soloist. They should be watching you.
I got my trumpet when i was three years old! I can play a c above the staff and some times higher. so don't tell me about that. you're just jealous that you cant play like that!
oh ya. in case u thaught i was insulting ur vid, i wasnt. sry for making it sound like i was insulting u. i was talking to that one fag that ur tone sucked or he could play higher than u and he didnt have a camera, something like that.
Not bad dude. Better than I was at that age. And as far as high go probably still better than me. Oh yea, phrase better and it will sound cooler. Sucks that you're playing in such a terrible band. Good luck man.
Btw, I was just kidding about my last post. You're very good. It came out wrong lol.. any tips for getting that high range, like the E and all that with power? thanks
i know it sounds cliche.. but plain practice brother..... irons is a must everyday... claude gordon routine is good stuff.. his books can be bought at many music stores
Sounds good! Though obviously you can't beat Wayne Bergeron playing on Tom Kubis's Christmas CD but that sounded good! The beginning is on a flugel and a little more legato though. And you don't need to hit the double high D at the end like Wayne when it's written on a high D but overall I liked the performance! I'd give it an 8.5 out of 10!
The fact that you can take advice like that with such a good attitude (or sarcasm haha) says wonders about you and your professionalism. I also am a high note trumpeter. I'm 21 and in college studying with Jim Olcott. Keep it up man. You've got it.
i'd love to hear more of a connection between your notes instead of a rigid stocatto sound...also try to incorporate your vibrado into your high notes as well and they would sound even more in tune...they didn't sound bad but with a little vibrado they'd be dynamite. Great Job!
You have great tone, but you single handedly drowned out the rest of the bad... Believe i know how easy that is and in your case, you have to learn to work with what you've got, (i.e. the rest of the band)... I didn't have to worry about the jazz band i was in, I played bass... Otherwise it's just a duet with the rythm section... But seriously, amazing tone, just try to flow between your middle-staff notes for a more legato sound.
i like it its kinda jazzy but i think the back up of the other background instruments and you should have played it abit more smoother but overall really amazing.
Hey, Great job really impressed, wayne bergeron would be proud to see one so young emulate him so well. Its a fantastic arrangment for sure i know its near the top of my most played. Ignore the dicks who've made negative comments, sure the band aren't great but your in another league. I look forward to seeing a video of you screaming in a top quality band soon. Great Job!
hey man, that sounded awesome and i'm actually pretty sure it was a double D and not a double A. But i was wondering if anyone knew where you can buy or get sheet music for that solo?
tell that to tom kubis and to wayne bergeron who played this arrangment... let me know if they agree... oh, and buy tom kubis's cd "Jazz Musician's Christmas CD" and listen to track 4
Dude, what up with the band? Anyways, next time you play a gig, bring a towel so you don't have to wipe your mouthpiece on your suit. Great job though!
Wow! I originally skipped watching this video when it came out on the search thinking, its a high school kid, its gonna suck bad. But WOOOW MAN!! I was wrong big time! Amazing kid!

Looking through these comments it surprises me how many people have no clue what they're talking about. (By surprised i mean not at all).
To anyone bashing him: You can't play that stuff without knowing what you're doing (in most cases).
Second: If this is you at 16 i don't for-see any issue with getting a job.
Stay humble and practice, like we should, and it'll fall in place. But im sure after 3 or so years you're doing fine. Good sound buddy

curtis123465 3 years ago

Has nothing to do with anything. The end.

oh ya. in case u thaught i was insulting ur vid, i wasnt. sry for making it sound like i was insulting u. i was talking to that one fag that ur tone sucked or he could play higher than u and he didnt have a camera, something like that.
nice vid tho
joec8992 3 years ago
My Quad A just raised to C above.
But i dont think its beautiful.
Youre high C just is clear, i can play a warm note up to the B flat under your C you did here ;)
Up there it isnt much of good stuff, just high squeeking.
trompettor 3 years ago
Not bad dude. Better than I was at that age. And as far as high go probably still better than me. Oh yea, phrase better and it will sound cooler. Sucks that you're playing in such a terrible band. Good luck man.

Sounds good! Though obviously you can't beat Wayne Bergeron playing on Tom Kubis's Christmas CD but that sounded good! The beginning is on a flugel and a little more legato though. And you don't need to hit the double high D at the end like Wayne when it's written on a high D but overall I liked the performance! I'd give it an 8.5 out of 10!

Please, don't go for a high note that you can't hit AND hold. Sounds horrible.

thanks for the advice, i'll keep that in mind.
maynardtrumpeter 4 years ago
The fact that you can take advice like that with such a good attitude (or sarcasm haha) says wonders about you and your professionalism. I also am a high note trumpeter. I'm 21 and in college studying with Jim Olcott. Keep it up man. You've got it.
scrmtrumpet 4 years ago
i'd love to hear more of a connection between your notes instead of a rigid stocatto sound...also try to incorporate your vibrado into your high notes as well and they would sound even more in tune...they didn't sound bad but with a little vibrado they'd be dynamite. Great Job!
bloomertaka 4 years ago
You have great tone, but you single handedly drowned out the rest of the bad... Believe i know how easy that is and in your case, you have to learn to work with what you've got, (i.e. the rest of the band)... I didn't have to worry about the jazz band i was in, I played bass... Otherwise it's just a duet with the rythm section... But seriously, amazing tone, just try to flow between your middle-staff notes for a more legato sound.

Hey, Great job really impressed, wayne bergeron would be proud to see one so young emulate him so well. Its a fantastic arrangment for sure i know its near the top of my most played. Ignore the dicks who've made negative comments, sure the band aren't great but your in another league. I look forward to seeing a video of you screaming in a top quality band soon. Great Job!
