For the 2009 Spring Concert on May 7th, Amity Middle School in Bethany, Connecticut, played "My Funny Valentine." You will hear the trumpet solo by myself, Sarah Gans, an 8th grader at Amity. Hope you enjoy!
I just stumbled across this video. I am a professional trumpet player , that means that I make my living playing my horn. I am apalled by the idiotic comments below.comparing my band to yours, this player to that player. I grew up in CT btw. this girls is only in 8th grade and her sound , feeling and approach are veryadvanced for that age..I wish I sounded like that in 8th grade! Kudos!
@Baritone45 No... I.am.saying.his.tone.is.crass. It is not subtle in anyway shape or form. I assure you I appreciate subtle music completely... Ala Freddie, Lee, Shorter, Brecker(s), Redman, Potter, Herbie, Chick, Makoto, Burton.... the list is endless... I just recognize Chris Botti is for smoochy 45 year-old women. (something dumb about your name)
@KrummyBear You obviously have no appreciation for subtly doing beautiful music the way it should be done. Perhaps your name "Krummy Bear" is appropriate.
@Baritone45 It's also easy to say his music is interesting and give absolutely zero rational for it. He has a lame manufactured sound, and all of his solos are tonal and uninteresting... he sucks.
@KrummyBear Kenny G? That's easy to say based on their relative pop/instrumental popularity. But if you listen to the two and have an ear, you will quickly realize that Kenny G had nothing interesting in his music and Chris Botti does.
@Baritone45 Shows what you know... Chris Botti is the Kenny G of trumpet. Maynard was good when he was young. And Chet was great before he started doing heroine, losing his teeth, and singing.
@PSNkaxo Dude shut the fuck up nobody cares how good your school is with band that doesnt mean you have to be an asshole and criticize people god show some respect
@PSNkaxo no one cares how well your niggers can eat watermelon.
