I can play a solid dub F -> G# (F and f# for reference, please excuse tone cuz this was after practice)

But i can play them good outside of band / context but whenever im in band i cant lock in the partials hear the note, or even if i can my endurance is stupid bad where i cram it into my lips

Im section leader now, and for next band camp I dont want to increase my range, but rather to solidify my double F and G to be stupid loud in the band and assert my dominance (i can already do that with E and F in some cases but D and C are guarenteed)

Any tips to help me get to my goal and beat this problem? I also want to know how to keep these notes thrughout the WHOLE performance / game. I reallly want to lock in so I can for lack of better words flex on ppl that i AM a screamer (one more thing,i need help locking in the partials / accuracy so i can hit it and not feel my way around yk)

Edit: I also play on a yamaha 11b4. Know this doesnt matter but I def have the chops to be able to utilize a proper lead mp. Any suggestions for one? (Warburton preferred and bob reeves not necesarily bad but to thin for my lips if that makes sense)

I am a junior (soon to be senior) in highschool, I definitely want to do band in college because ive been told by many people that i have a natural talent for this instrument (teachers, college students etc.)

but I'm not sure if I would want to take the risk and make a CAREER out of this though

When i think of professional playing, I think of gigs: Weddings, Venues, Etc. But on the other hand I think of real deal like jazz band stuff like louis downsdell and wayne bergeron

I also know that professional music is INSANELY competitive, but I don't want to waste my skills if you know what i mean too. I want to be like the cream of the crop like mitchel cooper (Who has commented on my vids before no flex lol)

But yeah, do I take the risk and go all in on trumpet majors / music majors? I want a major in software engineering currently, but all i need to know is where to find connections and how to become GLOBALLY good like Adam Rapa, Maynard, Cat Anderson, etc.

I want to become like really popular and make my own mouthpieces and stuff too, but I don't even know how I would get to that point even If i did practice until my Lips have Abs...

Edit: Forgot to mention but some dude today told me I should try to go for DCI, specifically the carolina crowns. I like DCI but I also heard its CRAZY expensive too, Would this put me on the radar more for being globally renowned? Call this ego or whatever but side note if i do join a DCI I definitely want to be the screamer / one of them dude, I could def be one but it seems kinda hard doing that for 12 hours straight

Help playing high and loud in marching band
