Agreed.

I was in marching band in high school, and EVERYONE played that theme all the time.

But never like that.

I was in band too, and your flute players were way cooler than ours, apparently.

My two girls are in marching band and...well...yeah.

Carry on.

(Trumpet and trombone, if you must know.)

Damn...I played the flute in high school and college and I can't figure out how the hell he is doing that.
And he is in key too.

I'm very impressed. XD

In addition to normal playing, he's also using several extended techniques: humming as well as "spitting" (what I call it)...press your lips together like you're going to say the letter P, and blow suddenly (it should come out as a percussive "p!", not "puh" or "pee"). You can also use "T" or "K" for different effects. He's also flutter tonguing at :16 (roll your tongue like you're doing a very exaggerated Scottish R). Around 1:05 I'm trying to figure out if he's overblowing some or if it sounds that way because of his vocalizations. (Overblowing plays the same notes an octave higher but with a different sound quality, think guitar harmonics, it's the same thing.) Wow, things I learned in college and haven't thought about in years suddenly coming back...

This is a really good performance, also considering that the flute is about the most inefficient wind instrument; about 60% of the air you blow through your mouth gets lost into the air, only about 40% actually goes into the instrument, which is why he almost looks like he's hyperventilating, haha. (All the brass and all the other woodwinds use 100% of the air.)
