Video: High Note Trumpet National Anthem
One question I was asked recently was about some of the “Random Links” in the links list at the Horn Notes Blog. Were they just randomly generated? No, actually they were items I found interesting for various reasons but certainly were a random grouping. One of the more random items was the “High Note Trumpet National Anthem.” If you have never seen it, check it out, it is classic. (And no, that is not me playing trumpet over on the right).
