Great!! I'm a trumpet player and I was just waiting for the horse whinny without the ability to half valve it. To my surprise it sounded really good. Then I remembered, oh yeah....these guys are attending Julliard! Very nice job everyone.

@OliviaSNava 3 жыл бұрын

Trombones can half-valve! I don’t think any of them in this performance have a peashooter, all of them have at least an F valve, but if nothing else the basses can play up super high and do a horse sound.

I skipped ahead just to see how they would do it - great job! I just wish they would have kept the video on to the final whinny.

What is "the leg"???

@phaselockk 2 жыл бұрын

@@matthewburgess7017 If another player does something worthy of a thumbs-up, but you can't give them one because you're about to play, people will just stick their leg out and wiggle it instead to convey the same message. You can see this at the time stamp mentioned above, with one bass trombonist approving the quality of the low note form the other bass trombonist..
