Also, if it's easier for you, pulling out the 1st Valve Slide for C# and D can be attempted. The 3rd Valve Slide is the best, but I know if the slide isn't greased well it will be harder to move than the first one, especially because your thumb is much stronger than your ring finger. Experiment with the slides when playing those lower Ds and C#s to get them in proper tune.
Very nicely played, but watch out for intonation. The player in Red (whether it's you recorded or your twin brother), is incredibly sharp when playing the D natural. Pull out your third valve slide about 1/4-1/2 an inch when playing D natural so it can be in tune. This note is naturally sharp on the Trumpet. If you are playing your C#, pull out your slide by 1/2-1 inch to play that in tune, for that note is incredibly sharp as well. It's not your playing, it's the nature of the instrument.
hate to bug you guys as you are awesome at trumpet playing, but make sure your trumpet is straight out and up, don't hold it down like that because it makes it harder for your diaphram to open up

Good luck with future performances!
