If you aren't familiar with the song, you don't spend much time on the interwebz. This "You Tube Star" is cracking Pop Charts around the world.
I was late to the party too (though I did find out "only" a week or two late). That was a darn quick turn around by Ohio there, though I do think they had some issues with the composition on the music. I know it's hard to translate some of those sounds to a marching band, but there were some rhythm issues too. But it just seemed to have the general issue of the high brass being too loud when other instrument types would have served better for the translation. This seems to be a common problem with all trumpet players, in all compositions though. Yes yes I know, the frequencies and amplitudes that brass instruments produce travel very well outdoors, but as a woodwind player I still have to get on the brass players, especially the trumpets, and the teasing was even worse when I was player bari sax in the college jazz band, because everyone knows that a good bari sax player is what carries a small jazz/swing band even if the trumpets get the glory.
