00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:01.990
Today's story getting a 10 out of 10. A

00:00:02.000 --> 00:00:03.990
musical malfunction turning into a

00:00:04.000 --> 00:00:05.829
moment of resilience and becoming a

00:00:05.839 --> 00:00:08.150
seriously impressive solo. Renowned

00:00:08.160 --> 00:00:10.150
trumpeter Dr. Jesse Magcguire is no

00:00:10.160 --> 00:00:11.749
stranger to the national anthem. The

00:00:11.759 --> 00:00:13.509
storyried musician has played the Star

00:00:13.519 --> 00:00:15.669
Spangled Banner at some of sport's

00:00:15.679 --> 00:00:17.670
biggest events in front of three

00:00:17.680 --> 00:00:19.670
different presidents. But during his

00:00:19.680 --> 00:00:21.349
recent performance before an Arizona

00:00:21.359 --> 00:00:23.590
Diamondbacks baseball game, disaster

00:00:23.600 --> 00:00:25.670
appeared to strike when his horn stopped

00:00:25.680 --> 00:00:32.630
working mid anthem.

00:00:32.640 --> 00:00:34.709
But some quick thinking and nerves of

00:00:34.719 --> 00:00:36.709
steel turned every musician's worst

00:00:36.719 --> 00:00:41.990
nightmare into an iconic moment.

00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:44.709
>> Dr. Maguire grabbed the mic and sang the

00:00:44.719 --> 00:00:46.630
rest of the anthem himself and

00:00:46.640 --> 00:00:54.950
absolutely nailed it. and the rock.

00:00:54.960 --> 00:00:56.869
>> The clip has become a viral sensation

00:00:56.879 --> 00:00:59.029
and a reminder that sometimes it's not

00:00:59.039 --> 00:01:01.110
our mistakes that define us, but how we

00:01:01.120 --> 00:01:03.189
choose to overcome them. We had the

00:01:03.199 --> 00:01:05.030
chance to catch up with Dr. Magguire to

00:01:05.040 --> 00:01:06.550
talk about what was going through his

00:01:06.560 --> 00:01:09.030
mind during that now famous moment. Take

00:01:09.040 --> 00:01:12.630
a look. Dr. Jesse, take me into that

00:01:12.640 --> 00:01:14.710
moment. Uh, trumpet stops working.

00:01:14.720 --> 00:01:16.469
Thousands of people staring at you. Are

00:01:16.479 --> 00:01:18.870
you thinking, "Uhoh, keep going." Or was

00:01:18.880 --> 00:01:20.789
it more like, "Get me out of here." What

00:01:20.799 --> 00:01:24.469
was actually happening inside your head?

00:01:24.479 --> 00:01:26.550
>> Okay, give me 10 seconds to set this

00:01:26.560 --> 00:01:30.230
thing up. I was at uh Chase Field where

00:01:30.240 --> 00:01:33.030
25 years ago that room made me famous

00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:34.390
with the seventh game of the World

00:01:34.400 --> 00:01:37.109
Series. Uh so when the when the valve

00:01:37.119 --> 00:01:41.749
locks up, I'm going, "Oh god, no. Not

00:01:41.759 --> 00:01:44.550
here. Not please, not here." And I was

00:01:44.560 --> 00:01:46.389
still trying to work to get this valve,

00:01:46.399 --> 00:01:49.990
you know, freed up on this $20,000

00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:53.510
goldplated Monet trumpet and it wouldn't

00:01:53.520 --> 00:01:56.870
budge. And I and I had to figure out

00:01:56.880 --> 00:01:59.910
something to do. And I had five seconds

00:01:59.920 --> 00:02:02.950
from the time the valve stuck. And I

00:02:02.960 --> 00:02:06.230
figured that it it it wasn't coming up

00:02:06.240 --> 00:02:08.150
to pick up a microphone that was sitting

00:02:08.160 --> 00:02:09.830
in front. There's two microphones on two

00:02:09.840 --> 00:02:11.750
different stands. And I picked one up

00:02:11.760 --> 00:02:14.229
and started to sing. Luckily for me, I

00:02:14.239 --> 00:02:16.630
know all four verses of the Star Spangle

00:02:16.640 --> 00:02:19.830
Banner vocally, so it it it was it was

00:02:19.840 --> 00:02:21.910
pretty seamless, I think. But I've had

00:02:21.920 --> 00:02:23.670
sticky valves or valves that didn't want

00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:25.589
to cooperate like you want them, not as

00:02:25.599 --> 00:02:27.830
fluid as you want. But when you're out

00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:29.750
there in the middle of a baseball field

00:02:29.760 --> 00:02:33.910
with 50,000 people, looking at you,

00:02:33.920 --> 00:02:36.229
knowing what you're known, you know, for

00:02:36.239 --> 00:02:38.150
doing all these years, and all of a

00:02:38.160 --> 00:02:41.030
sudden the horn stops.

00:02:41.040 --> 00:02:44.229
>> Yeah. That's that's that's a that's a an

00:02:44.239 --> 00:02:46.710
opportunity to make a change that'll

00:02:46.720 --> 00:02:47.670
change your life,

00:02:47.680 --> 00:02:49.750
>> right? So, you're scared, you're

00:02:49.760 --> 00:02:51.990
nervous, you start singing, and right

00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:54.229
when you start singing though, the crowd

00:02:54.239 --> 00:02:56.229
goes wild. And when you hit that final

00:02:56.239 --> 00:02:59.190
note, everyone erupts. How did that make

00:02:59.200 --> 00:03:00.229
you feel?

00:03:00.239 --> 00:03:03.350
>> Oh, wow. Uh, it it made me feel feel

00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:06.309
good. It made me feel I felt the love

00:03:06.319 --> 00:03:08.710
from from the the audience. As a matter

00:03:08.720 --> 00:03:11.509
of fact, I was facing the jumbotron when

00:03:11.519 --> 00:03:13.750
I started and they always want you to

00:03:13.760 --> 00:03:16.149
face the jumbotron, but I I knew that I

00:03:16.159 --> 00:03:19.030
had to reconnect with my audience when

00:03:19.040 --> 00:03:21.430
that bow stuck. You know, I had to turn

00:03:21.440 --> 00:03:23.750
around. If you notice, I turned around

00:03:23.760 --> 00:03:26.630
and sang to them and and tried to

00:03:26.640 --> 00:03:29.509
re-engage them into this national anthem

00:03:29.519 --> 00:03:31.830
uh to to uh finish out that that part of

00:03:31.840 --> 00:03:32.789
the celebration.

00:03:32.799 --> 00:03:34.550
>> I love that. You've performed this

00:03:34.560 --> 00:03:36.470
anthem hundreds of times. You've played

00:03:36.480 --> 00:03:39.190
on some enormous stages, Lincoln Center,

00:03:39.200 --> 00:03:40.390
the World Series, when their

00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:41.990
Diamondbacks won. You even got a ring

00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:44.070
from them and alongside people like

00:03:44.080 --> 00:03:47.270
Stevie Wonder. How much of staying calm

00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:48.630
in the moment

00:03:48.640 --> 00:03:51.190
>> was talent and how much of that is just

00:03:51.200 --> 00:03:54.149
years of preparation?

00:03:54.159 --> 00:03:56.390
>> Uh year years of preparation. I've

00:03:56.400 --> 00:03:58.390
actually practiced for scenarios like

00:03:58.400 --> 00:03:59.910
that. What's going to happen if the

00:03:59.920 --> 00:04:03.429
third vow uh sticks or the first valve?

00:04:03.439 --> 00:04:06.630
There's the second valve. If that sticks

00:04:06.640 --> 00:04:08.869
your your options are really really

00:04:08.879 --> 00:04:11.190
limited and if you know when I was

00:04:11.200 --> 00:04:12.789
clicking clicking trying to free it up

00:04:12.799 --> 00:04:14.869
something in all this five seconds

00:04:14.879 --> 00:04:16.550
something man don't do that because

00:04:16.560 --> 00:04:19.670
you'll try it again and it could

00:04:19.680 --> 00:04:21.430
malfunction again then everybody think

00:04:21.440 --> 00:04:23.510
you're you know incompetent for trying

00:04:23.520 --> 00:04:26.870
it and and it just sounds bad and I knew

00:04:26.880 --> 00:04:28.469
I knew the words to the national anthem

00:04:28.479 --> 00:04:31.030
and in my chest I always have a cadence

00:04:31.040 --> 00:04:33.909
when I play so I knew exactly when to

00:04:33.919 --> 00:04:36.070
start singing and what exactly where to

00:04:36.080 --> 00:04:38.950
come in and I have perfect pitch. So I

00:04:38.960 --> 00:04:41.830
knew exactly the pitch to hit when I

00:04:41.840 --> 00:04:46.469
picked up, you know, and the rocket,

00:04:46.479 --> 00:04:48.150
you know, I knew I knew exactly where I

00:04:48.160 --> 00:04:49.990
was and that comes from preparation.

00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:52.790
>> I love that you prepared for the moment.

00:04:52.800 --> 00:04:55.830
Preparation prevents poor performance.

00:04:55.840 --> 00:04:58.390
I've read that growing up you dealt with

00:04:58.400 --> 00:05:00.550
dyslexia and you've described reading

00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:02.629
music as something that can still be

00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:05.110
incredibly difficult for you. What did

00:05:05.120 --> 00:05:07.430
that struggle teach you about not

00:05:07.440 --> 00:05:10.070
letting one weakness convince you that

00:05:10.080 --> 00:05:11.990
you don't still have some enormous

00:05:12.000 --> 00:05:14.390
strengths?

00:05:14.400 --> 00:05:17.590
>> Well, that that's exa that's exactly it.

00:05:17.600 --> 00:05:20.150
If you can't go up Main Street, go down

00:05:20.160 --> 00:05:22.469
Second Avenue, they both both the

00:05:22.479 --> 00:05:24.550
streets will take you to the same place.

00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:26.550
And that's what I used to do when I uh

00:05:26.560 --> 00:05:29.430
used to play like with Winton. I told

00:05:29.440 --> 00:05:31.749
Winton up front, man, you don't want me

00:05:31.759 --> 00:05:34.629
to sit on a stage and try and try to

00:05:34.639 --> 00:05:37.270
flawlessly sight read a chart. He said,

00:05:37.280 --> 00:05:39.590
man, there people in this there's people

00:05:39.600 --> 00:05:41.909
in this band that can't read a note of

00:05:41.919 --> 00:05:44.790
music. Yet, there's some of the the

00:05:44.800 --> 00:05:46.950
greatest musicians on the planet at that

00:05:46.960 --> 00:05:47.590
time.

00:05:47.600 --> 00:05:48.469
>> I love that.

00:05:48.479 --> 00:05:50.870
>> Yeah. I was I was I wasn't the worst

00:05:50.880 --> 00:05:52.310
reader in the band.

00:05:52.320 --> 00:05:54.550
>> Wow. That's an incredible story. I love

00:05:54.560 --> 00:05:56.469
you taking us to church today. Preach.

00:05:56.479 --> 00:05:59.590
These are great messages. Now listen,

00:05:59.600 --> 00:06:01.110
>> because

00:06:01.120 --> 00:06:02.710
because there's someone watching right

00:06:02.720 --> 00:06:05.590
now who's going to freeze on a test,

00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:07.749
miss a shot, or glitch during a

00:06:07.759 --> 00:06:10.710
presentation or interview. You know that

00:06:10.720 --> 00:06:13.029
they have their version of their trumpet

00:06:13.039 --> 00:06:15.510
stop working. What do you want them to

00:06:15.520 --> 00:06:21.029
remember in that moment?

00:06:21.039 --> 00:06:25.110
Stay calm. Always have a backup plan.

00:06:25.120 --> 00:06:27.670
Always. And no matter what, no matter

00:06:27.680 --> 00:06:30.230
the adversity, press through that.

00:06:30.240 --> 00:06:32.629
Always press through. That was a press

00:06:32.639 --> 00:06:35.110
for me cuz it had never happened. And it

00:06:35.120 --> 00:06:37.350
was it was such a shock to my to my

00:06:37.360 --> 00:06:39.430
physical body. I felt like I stuck my

00:06:39.440 --> 00:06:41.909
hand in a light socket. It was that

00:06:41.919 --> 00:06:45.029
shocking. But I stayed calm, you know. I

00:06:45.039 --> 00:06:47.430
stayed calm and I stayed cool and I kept

00:06:47.440 --> 00:06:50.230
at it. So, don't ever quit. Don't ever

00:06:50.240 --> 00:06:53.270
give up. Always have a backup plan. If

00:06:53.280 --> 00:06:55.909
you if you're facing a test uh in

00:06:55.919 --> 00:06:57.990
school, get some rest the night before.

00:06:58.000 --> 00:07:01.430
Read and study and don't quit.

00:07:01.440 --> 00:07:04.469
>> And always be prepared for for something

00:07:04.479 --> 00:07:06.469
to happen to chance.

00:07:06.479 --> 00:07:07.909
>> Dr. Jesse, you're going to make me want

00:07:07.919 --> 00:07:09.350
to come out of retirement, get back into

00:07:09.360 --> 00:07:11.270
the NFL. I'm ready to go. Give me a

00:07:11.280 --> 00:07:13.909
helmet. Give me some shoulder pads. I am

00:07:13.919 --> 00:07:17.749
pumped. I have one very important

00:07:17.759 --> 00:07:19.909
question for you. Uh you and that

00:07:19.919 --> 00:07:22.070
trumpet. Okay. Have you two talked since

00:07:22.080 --> 00:07:23.749
the incident? Are you forgiving it? Or

00:07:23.759 --> 00:07:25.830
is this uh trumpet still staying in

00:07:25.840 --> 00:07:28.150
timeout for a while?

00:07:28.160 --> 00:07:31.110
>> Oh my god, man. That is so important.

00:07:31.120 --> 00:07:33.110
There there there are a thousand life

00:07:33.120 --> 00:07:35.350
lessons in what happened this past

00:07:35.360 --> 00:07:37.430
Saturday. I can preach a thousand

00:07:37.440 --> 00:07:40.230
sermons on just what happened that and I

00:07:40.240 --> 00:07:43.589
can do a thousand motivational speeches

00:07:43.599 --> 00:07:45.589
on life lessons that came from. I'm tell

00:07:45.599 --> 00:07:48.469
you what it is. The one I learned the

00:07:48.479 --> 00:07:51.430
quickest was forgiveness.

00:07:51.440 --> 00:07:54.390
I had to forgive that trumpet to even

00:07:54.400 --> 00:07:57.270
pick it up again. If you notice when I

00:07:57.280 --> 00:07:58.790
finished playing that when I finished

00:07:58.800 --> 00:08:01.110
playing that anthem that I walked off

00:08:01.120 --> 00:08:03.110
the walked off the field and that horn

00:08:03.120 --> 00:08:05.990
was still on the ground, a $20,000 horn.

00:08:06.000 --> 00:08:08.469
Pay cash for it. That hurt, bro. You

00:08:08.479 --> 00:08:10.550
know, and the first thing I thought, you

00:08:10.560 --> 00:08:14.710
know, uh about the trumpet was, how can

00:08:14.720 --> 00:08:17.270
you let me down in front of all these

00:08:17.280 --> 00:08:18.950
people? That's why I left it there on

00:08:18.960 --> 00:08:21.189
the field. I had no I had no intentions

00:08:21.199 --> 00:08:22.869
of bringing that trumpet back home.

00:08:22.879 --> 00:08:24.950
Somebody picked it up and found Donna
