My sister was in the Liberty Band! The original coverage had more shots of them, this has been remastered with the shots of the colorguard. . Cool she played on those Herald Trumpets and was a part of the HUGE 800 piece marching band that performed in the Meadowlands. And yes, this was transposed. The original was in D Major cause it was in E for trumpets and had some tough fingerings!

Lol that's same thing I thought when I heard the orchestrated version, but this is the first version he did it in I think and then wrote in a different key when he wrote it for Concert band

Haha, I am a horn player, and I've played this piece before, so it totally threw off my ear, which normally serves me pretty solidly. Thought I'd make the note. Very good performance though!! Kudos!

I am one of the fanfare trumpet players standing directly in front of John WIlliams on the podium! If you are wondering how this sounded so good on live TV which this is a video of, they played the studio recording over the sound system and we just played along softly. They tried to add the fanfare trumpets to the "mix" the night before but It could not work from a tech standpoint.

Does anyone have the Liberty Band VHS documentary tape of the Liberty Band band camp?

WoW! I was a tuba player in this band and it's so cool to find this online! I still have all the VHS tapes, including the documentary that William Patterson College did.

Do you have any more of these videos? My VHS of these events went on to a better life, and I would love to see this again! I was in this band as well...I played the mellophone and it was such a great experience. Thanks!

I got the chance to meet John Williams at the event. All I can remember was thanking him for writing the "Indiana Jones" theme. I was in awe.
