Quite young female player with a clear sound and no vibrato, which to me points towards a schooling as trombonist.

What is her name?

Klaus

Becky Smith from Bones Apart Trombone Quartet. But also a very fine Euphonium player in Brass Bands.

Thanks!

Thanks for the link, Klaus. I listened to a few of the sound clips on that site. Those woman are terrific players, especially the bass trombonist. For example, check out her playing in the Pryor, "Annie Laurie". She's not the soloist in that piece, of course, but she shows an astonishing command of the low register of her instrument.

Does anybody know what arrangement of "Stars and Stripes Forever" they are playing?

I had seen a version of the S&S before with what i thought then was a quartet of US high school girls. Not true:

As far as I can see the two Bones Apart videos combined show 3 different players doing the piccolo obligato.

And then there is an equestrian version:
