Its a high G, he goes from high C to a high G at the end because it is in the key of concert F which is the key of G for trumpet. But you right this is way better as a lead trumpet player who loves high notes and loves how cool double C sounds, high G is still very impressive and he had a lot better tone than Arturo had on his high G.

I play trumpet, and that in fact was a high F, not a double G.

@@josh5266 Its an high G. He goes from high C to high G.

@@pascalkieneke7279no, C to G would be a perfect fifth. The highest note is an F (concert Eb). He plays it right after the high C (concert Bb). You can hear the perfect fourth.

@@parkerlowell8215the interval that he plays at 2:04 is a perfect fourth. He goes from a C to an F (Bb to Eb concert pitch). A C to a G would be a fifth. This version of the anthem is in F major (Eb major concert pitch).

@teamuop99...right on🎺🙂

Better*

Steve Flores thats like the glass half empty/half full perspective haha

Wang Lo different personalities, different interpretations, different backgrounds. music is the reflection of a persons soul. Arturo is fun and energetic and likes to play around. Rapa seems more technical and stick to the book. It's like cooking is it art or science.

Zach VERY MODEST

I agree that he did a fabulous job. He didn't make it about him, and that is the proper frame of mind.

Didn't care for Freddie Jones' version Sept 2022 to open the season. He had spit knocking around the horn for one thing, but for another, just a really spread tone and a hammer for a tongue. But he's a jazz player, and that's what you get. Arturo's version was kind of brash, but that squeal....to control the tone as he did while squealing was impressive. For Adam, you're right, his pitch was right down center, and he's got a great tone. Slurred a lot of it, which made it a bit more lyrical, but a lot of his slurs weren't clean. In some instances that was probably intentional, in others I'm not so sure. I doubt he was very happy with the first few measures when he had to clear spit and bobbled a little bit as a result. Of the three, Adam's version, to me, was clearly the best. Really solid tone, warm vibrato, nice straight, tight, clean version. Would like to see the trumpet used for a Superbowl some time, and he'd do a great job. For my own part - the one and only time I played the national anthem was my worst trumpet-playing disaster by miles. I was asked to play it that afternoon. Didn't have it memorized, our school didn't have a marching band so I didn't really know how to memorize music. Went home, wrote it out, stuck it in the lyre and practiced for some time. Sounded good, got my phrasing/breathing down, had no problems, felt good about it. Then I went to the game, and they made me stand in the press box in front of a microphone to play. Completely dark. "Do you guys have lights in here?" "No." Perfect. I 100% needed to see the music and I'm in a completely dark room. Then I asked that they not announce my name, and immediately after, they announced my name. Back in those days my nerves were overcooked noodles. I needed anonymity. Anyway, I got about as far as "Perilous" before I had to pull the chute. I got through the first verse well enough, then my guessing got bad, then really bad, and I cut it off before I ever got near "and the rockets' red glare". I walked home three miles that night to punish myself for ruining the national anthem. It was embarrassing but I felt such deep shame. As an adult, I would have either stepped outside the pressbox to play (screw their microphone, it was unnecessary), or insisted on light. As a 16/17-year old kid....nope. Gee I'm glad I just remembered that.....

the thing about Arturo playing the anthem, the irony of his back story, and the fact that he's a Cuban immigrant, and a true American. But to think in our crazy world today, people like him, talented, ambitious, persistent artists, may not even get a chance to immigrate into our country to make such great art.

I prefer harmony, but I agree, it should be performed straight.

Jared Henry hot cross buns was the og

Hot cross buns starts on an E though.

Somebody must've failed at hitting high notes when they were growing up

Someone doesn't think very fondly of Arturo Sandoval

SANDOVAL IS TO MUCH FOR A WHITE PEOPLE EARS.🎼🎼🎼🎼

Sebastian Kirschner They are beautiful and sound amazing.

Galactic Bleachman don’t know where you got your info but I got a monette for 3500$ and it’s the best trumpet I’ve ever used .

That's it
