Put an h to the front of your link.

I knew videos of the Carling family from before YouTube came up, but I of course can’t remember the source. In another video the older sister, often the pianist, is a marvelous trombonist and Gunhild plays the trumpet. Maybe the same video, where they put down their instruments, do a quite elaborate dance act, pick up the instruments, and go on playing with very little time to restitute themselves.

Related to your link another video came up with amazing female trombone playing. My favourite element is the bass trombone sound:

Actually I find Gunhild Carling’s stage presence becoming absolutely unbearable after she grew up, but there is a Swedish summer market for artists touring their Folkpark stages (Folkpark’s are local amusement parks):

However there are reasons for bringing the link on top of this posting.

The band is the now defunct Swedish Airforce Band, which actually was the professional Gothenburg Wind Orchestra, which used to be hired for military purposes 3 months a year. The GWO has its own concert hall, and now continues as a 19 (or so) piece wind ensemble mainly surviving by piggybacking itself as the backstage for for popular artists with no relations to wind music at all. In between they fortunately do classical style concerts in collaboration with choirs.

The conductor is the quite famous Norwegian trumpet soloist Ole Edward Antonsen.

Well Klaus, you are wrong about the Air Force band in the clip. It is the Norwegian Air Force Band, stationed in the town Trondheim. Ole Edvard Antonsen has been their chief conductor for some years now.

I accept that correction. The story about the GWO still stands, only it is not the band in the video.
