I heard someone say once “what is the point of playing so high” and someone replied “bragging rights”😂😂

Flutists: Those are every day notes for us Piccolo: Pathetic

Middle school me hitting a high c for the first time: "Epic, i'll probably hit high g by the end of high school" 10 years later: "Reality is often disappointing"

my brother when i tap him 4:08

Trumpet player: The trumpet is a very diverse instrument that can play a large range. Me: haha trumpet go *REEEEEEEEEEEEE*

The only time I hit those notes is when I'm trying to hit others

For those who haven't played trumpet (or a brass instrument), this is harder than it looks. Not only technique wise, but it's physically demanding as well.

Can you do another video: "Lowest Notes Ever on Piccolo"

3:42 that's the mating call of the yellow bellied mosquito

I’ve never touched a trumpet in my life, why did I watch all of this

as a flute player who had to learn a lot of the higher notes in a fairly short amount of time, seeing notes with that many ledger lines is fucking terrifying

I knew someone in my school band who could play these kind of notes, but he ended up with a major lip muscle rupture that made him lose the ability to play the trumpet. During the pandemic, he decided to pick up a brass instrument again to see if he can play anything. After a few months, he decided that his now-healed muscles are no longer in the same condition to play with a good sound on trumpet. He switched to tuba since it requires less muscle strain and he is doing really well with it. 1st chair tuba in the top band at my school, not bad.

Bassist here: This makes me like trumpet even less. My hears..... just kidding mad respect to these guys, this is really impressive

Is it sad that I've seen most of these clips? Nicely put together man.

my teacher at music school :The range of trumpet are from e to c3 me: bullshit

As a trumpet player, I'm appalled at how good they play.

Some guy: Hey that’s not what trumpets all about! Me: ha trumpet go burp

I was blessed to have seen Maynard Ferguson play live at our high school. Our band director was a huge fan and ticket sales were at a loss, and our director fitted the difference out of his own pocket just because it was that important to him.

So glad to see DCI so well represented. These are kids no older than 21!!!!

i like that.... "WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-o" that sound when they move off the mouth piece is gold

I feel like I'm in high school again, this video is NOSTALGIC

I played trumpet but couldn’t not achieve this level of proficiency! I was 6 notes from a double high C! Which in reality is like 10 miles from the finish of a marathon! Some truly amazing musicians in these clip’s!!

wow, as a non-trumpeter i can only imagine that's difficult asf and very impressive but also it just kinda sounds like someone really obnoxiously letting the air out from a balloon

Sad to not see Lynn Nicholson on an F over double C

I'm a trumpet player and have been since 1953. I've never been able to hit notes like those. My best is E flat above the scale. So, I'm in awe of those who can do what these guys do.

Difference between a lot of these players and Maynard is that when they go up, their sound loses body, where Maynard's sound only get thiccer as he goes up. Makes no god damn sense.

Alternate title: Louis Dowdeswell high note compilation

This almost made me cry with pure joy... and I'm not even a trumpet player just a lowly percussionist Thanks for this beautiful video Jared

Louis Dowdeswell is only using 10% of his power

Arturo Sandoval played the highest note I've ever heard when he was younger, playing with Dizzy Gillespie. Sounded like an A-C above Super C (triple c). His range and tone was incredible that day

3:24 that one is just beautiful

I'm glad that you included some clips from the DCI in there, like Bridgemen, BD, and Bluecoats. I think some people don't realize that in-between solos they are constantly running around the field, which makes solos equally impressive if not more challenging to do. Loved the video!

ayyyy my man josh gawel from lucky chops

i love how well notes that high can just make chords lock in in certain contexts

Arturo Sandoval is the one who Played the very Highest note ever.

4:30 ... flashback to 7th grade when it was cool to squeak your shoes as annoyingly as possible

0:22 omg THE WINK!!! YESSSSS!!!!

I love how much effort is putted to bassically immitate a mosquito

Oh yea, well my notes are even higher, you just can’t hear them cause they are that high

Ok guys, I’ve been seeing a lot of you telling me I missed some clips/videos, so I’m gonna make another one of these videos. If you have suggestions on what should be in the next video, please drop a link below. Also, please keep suggestions Double C and up.

This sounds like that squeaky sound when you’re wiping something

Imagine what these people hit practicing...

Freddie Mercury be like “HIGHER!”

The guy playing the trumpet at 3:00 was really still

there is so much lucky chops lmao

I've never played a brass instrument, but I can still tell that this is insane

I saw Arturo Sandoval live in concert in the Rio Grande Valley. This guy is phenomenal, he played absolutely flawless.

I like how the last guy plays it as if 8va notes are all he plays. He hit those notes like butter!

Alt. Title: Gawel, Dowdeswell, Sandoval, Maynard, Waynard, and some other crazy people

This should be called lowest notes on the piccolo

For some reason, these make me uncontrollably cry. Maybe it’s the high notes or just how beautiful they are

Thought my tea pot was on the boil🙂

nothing more satisfying for a musician than hitting super high note, I love the feeling so much

Me: scaring the kid next door Him: 4:08😱

04:07 - I was there that night when Arturo played with The United Nations Orchestra. It was truly unbelievable and he did this at the end of the nights playing! PS I’ve also played with Louis Dowdeswell and have to say he’s got the best high register sound I’ve ever heard!

at what point does it stop being musical and start being annoying

*opens a video and sees lucky chops first* I respect this a lot

This was GREAT . My husband played GREAT also . Brought back like a wave of good memories. ....

My freshman year of highschool, we had a trumpet player named kevin, he was the king of playing a double G in every stand tune

That guy at the end did a triple C and in another video he did, he played an E over triple C

Lucky Chops 😍

Thank you, Dr. Maggio!

I'm so glad Louis and Wayne were on here.

This is my 10th time watching and it's still fresh

Listen to Bud Brisbois or Cat Anderson, they where the masters of the extreme upper register.

I love how almost every other one is Joshua Gawel. Lucky Chops is always just so amazing to watch.

"Wait so the range is not limited by the instrument like a string instrument?" "Never has been"

3:55 had the pleasure of meeting this guy at a vanguard audition and he his crazy

My introduction to super high notes (pitches above and beyond a normal or average playing range) being played was as a freshman in high school. My school was small so if you were in band you were in Pep band like it or not. I liked it. My first forays into playing music other than traditional concert band material. Ther were 3 or 4 pieces other than the school song that had had the status of being tradition. Most of us looked forward to the day we would get to "rock out" playing those pieces, having heard them played for a number of years at every sporting event the school engaged in. And it was awesome to be making that music finally as opposed to listening to it. An example was the theme from the TV show Peter Gunn. It was played when the team, be it football, basketball, or any other sport, took to the field or court. So twice per night usually-- the beginning of the game and the return from halftime. I still have a warm spot for that piece. Another tune was "Get it On" by Bill Chase. I knew the song but nothing about who wrote or played it until I was now playing it in good old pep band. As a "slide pump" man the trumpets stood directly behind my seating area. We got to the end of that piece and out of nowhere I heard the most incredible sonic ad lib I had ever heard. It was our last song of the night so I was free to react by turning around and seeing a good friend receiving atta boys from the entire cadre of trumpets. I was impressed it was my friend since he was just a sophomore.I hadn't heard those notes from a trumpet ever in my life. They werent played in the few quick run thru sessions designed to get the frosh up to speed on the repertoire. I was sure it must have been another friend who was the lead and a senior. As we were putting our horns away I asked my friend about what I had just heard. "Oh you mean the screech notes? Yeah Chase, the guy that wrote it, was known for being able to hit those notes and used them in a few different tunes his band played." Hmmm Screech trumpet. Bill Chase. Now I had a need. I needed to hear this phenomenon by the man himself. Being a generation away from the internet still, and being a one horse town, I knew I would have to go to the 5 and 10 store (only music outlet in town) and order a copy. Which I did and was thoroughly impressed when I heard it from the man himself. Screech Trumpet. I'll be damned. Turns out my buddy Kevin had just developed the ability to hit that register. No other trumpet puffers could come close. In fact he got a minor finger wagging from our very strict but perfectionist band director because he had no idea it was going to happen that night. lol Sadly, Like Bill Chase, my friend's life was cut short. He was killed in a car accident only a couple weeks after he graduated from high school. I will always remember that piece (Get it On), it's composer (Bill Chase), my first exposure to rare extended rangeplaying (screech trumpet), and my friend Kevin who introduced it to me the first time I ever played fun music rather than classical. RIP and rock on BC and KM. It's time to head into my lair now ---- my home studio. It's time to grab my guitar and..... GET IT ON!!!

For people who have no idea, the notes shown on screen are written pitches. The sounding ones are a whole tone below. But I am not taking any credit away. No matter what, those are really high notes for the trumpet.

**laughs in sax, only having to touch buttons to go high**

This window cleaning montage is hype

I'm a tuba player but every single time I hear a trumpet scream I get chills

Nobody: The fly in my ear when I’m trying to sleep:

Ayy! Haven't been around any brass for years and was still able to predict/hear the correct note in my head before playing the video! Nice

Gotta give it to Louis Dowdeswell, by far the most clear, relaxed and musical high notes I've heard!

0:22 That cheeky wink though

These videos inspire me to practice more and increase my range

Wow! i watched most of these clips but man.. i didn't know that you can go that high... Amazing

Regardless of tonal quality, that's impressive.

You can just tell by how some have different styles,and some go flat and a little sharp,really hard to control but fun to play

My mouth does these sounds everytime I hit my toe with lego

I’d probably die trying to do this

3:58 the amount of control that takes is astonishing

You know the highest trumpet note ever played was probably some random guy in his bedroom that went “huh, cool” after he did it.

And I’m over here at my highschool thinking I’m hot crap as a freshman because I hit the high high c on the national anthem 1st try

Comments: "flutes: everyday. Piccolo: ha." Me, a pianist: *smirks*

I was not expecting lucky chops at the beginning and I’m not disappointed

second clip is so iconic i feel like i’ve seen it so many times

Fantastic

I spoke to a guy once who said he was an ex-high note specialist and when I queried why he no longer played he said the veins in his neck just popped one day and I almost fainted on him.

4:06 I thought my little shih tzu was barking downstairs

Most awesome unreal talent

Loving the pic of Maynard playing his superbone in a trumpet video! 😂

One of those time when you let one go so silently that it sounds octaves higher.

0:19 He ended so majestically-

Them trumpets went “ aaaaaaaaaeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee”

everyone:*trying there absolute hardest to hit the note* this dude at the end: haha trumpet squeak haha

That damn triple high c looks so easy and I don't know how to use my tongue right.
