Director should study this video carefully and pay attention to details; the beginning middle and end of each note. Trumpets really need more support when going higher. Do long tones and scales every day and aim for musicality, not just punching out notes, but connecting and making them sound good. There is potential here, but basics missing here. Again trumpets are really needing attention. Use fast air esp, when ascending. If you have really good bands to observe in your area I would do that.

@bluehominid123 and are director was a student that was in training so that probly why she didnt focus that much on details ...she was just trying to get through the concert so she could graduate ..but i class director is a detailed freak she will pay close attention to that

@wilsonjordan26 - you mean OUR director? ARE didn't make any sense at all. Message below- OUR orchestra? It's not ARE orchestra. It's no better THAN our band. Good grief. You're going to have trouble getting any employment with that spelling and wrong words. Get your teacher to help you!! Comment noted on the director's strategy, if true.

[bluehominid123]

Students should know when to come in from the upbeat instead of the director conducting a whole measure coming in. I would review basics here as the tone quality can be much better. By looking at the boy clarinetist, embouchure isn't quite right; should be flat chin and good compression on mouthpiece. Trumpets need a lot of work on pitch and tone, there is barely any support. Doesn't sound like this band does long tones as part of the warm-up. Hold each note about 15 sec on the F scale.
