Background[edit]
Following the release of "Marry Me" as the third single from his album Tattoos in the US and some international markets, "Trumpets" was released as the fourth overall single from the album to the UK and European territories. "Trumpets" was written by Jason Desrouleaux and Jon Bellion who also handled the production.[4] The song was recorded by Vince Watson at Atlantic Studios in Hollywood, California.[4] with additional recordings by Josh Collins and Juan P. Negrete.[4] It was mixed by Roberto "Tito" Vazquez at Plush recording Studios in Orlando Florida.[4] It was mastered by Tom Coyne at sterling Sound in New York.[4]
Composition[edit]
"Trumpets" is a midtempo pop and R&B song written in the key of C major,[5] that runs for a duration of three minutes and thirty seven seconds and was written by Jason Derulo and Jon Bellion, who also handled the song's production.[6] Lyrically the song is about being so in love with and infatuated with someone that every time you're together, trumpets blast through your head, as heard in the lyrics "Every time that you get undressed/ I hear symphonies in my head."[7] It also states how various features of Jason's girlfriend remind him of other songs by other artists, including Coldplay (her eyes— possibly a reference to "Green Eyes"), Katy Perry (her bra— possibly a reference to "California Gurls", in the video for which Perry dons a distinctive cream-shooting bra) and Kanye West (her rear— possibly a reference to the 2 Chainz and Kanye West single "Birthday Song", which features many lyrics about "booty").
Music video[edit]
On October 11, 2013, the official lyric video for the song premiered on Derulo's official YouTube channel, after which he tweeted '#trumpets #tattoos' with a link to the video, to help promote the songs release.[8] The music video for "Trumpets" made its world premiere online through Derulo's official YouTube channel on November 3, 2013.[9] The video depicts Jason attempting to have sex with a young woman. Just as she takes off her clothes, he is bombarded by the sound of instruments and a marching band bursts into his bedroom.[7][10][11] The music video was directed by Jason Derulo as his directorial debut alongside Colin Tilley who has directed many of Derulo's previous videos and was produced by Jamee Ranta.[12][13] Derulo got backlash for the video from his record label for directing the video saying "it wasn't the right move or look, because I directed it." states Derulo.[13] He worked on it with Collin Tilley and got pictures in the background, singing the lyrics along with him.[13]
Live performances[edit]
Derulo performed "Trumpets" live for the first time in the UK on BBC Radio 1 1Xtra special performance in the Live Lounge.[14] He also performed the song at the Capital FM Jingle Bell Ball on December 8, 2013, along with his debut single "Whatcha Say", "The Other Side", "In My Head" and "Talk Dirty".[15] Derulo made his first televised performance of the song during a promotional tour in the UK on The Paul O'Grady Show on December 10, 2013.[16] Derulo also performed this track on New Years Day for the Dick Clark post show. On July 4, 2014, Derulo performed it on Good Morning America as part of its Summer Concert Series.[17] He performed the song during the MDA Show of Strength that aired on August 31, 2014, but was taped in May 2014.
Release and artwork[edit]
The artwork for the single features several of the same trumpet seen in Derulo's CGI neck tattoo on the album cover of Tattoos. On November 7, the single was first released in the UK. It was added to the playlist of British urban contemporary station BBC Radio 1Xtra.[18] It has since been released to many international territories while "Talk Dirty" was released in the US as the third single.[19]
Chart performance[edit]
"Trumpets" first appeared on the Dutch Top 40 in the Netherlands issue dated November 30, 2013, debuting at its current peak position of number 22.[20] In Australia, "Trumpets" debuted at number 22 the ARIA Singles Chart issue dated December 15, 2013: it reached its peak position of number one in its fourth week on the chart.[21] It has also made an appearance on the New Zealand Top 40 Singles Chart, where it debuted at number 31, and has since reached its current peak of number 3.[22]
"Trumpets" made its debut on the UK R&B Singles Chart at number fifteen,[23] it has since reached its peak position of number one in its fifth week on the chart.[24] It reached number 4 on the UK Singles Chart, becoming his third Top 10 single from the album and his eighth overall.[25] "Trumpets" remained at fourth position for four consecutive weeks.
The song reached a peak of No. 14 on the Billboard Hot 100, and has sold over a million copies in the US as of October 2014.[26]

Plot[edit]
Shortly after learning their unit will soon return home, American soldiers Lieutenant Colonel William Marsh (Samuel L. Jackson), Sergeant Vanessa Price (Jessica Biel), Specialists Tommy Yates (Brian Presley) and Jamal Aiken (Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson), and Private Jordan Owens (Chad Michael Murray) are on their final mission, in a vehicle in a convoy bringing medical supplies to a remote Iraqi village. They are ambushed by insurgents. The forward vehicles of the convoy are trapped in a narrow street and forced to fight the attackers. The rear vehicles manage to escape the initial barrage by taking a side-street, only to be met with an improvised explosive device hidden in the carcass of a dead dog. Sgt. Price, the driver, is seriously wounded, as her front seat passenger is killed instantly. A soldier in their team is shot and killed pursuing the young boys who left the bomb and other attackers.
Aiken, Yates and Owens head out to fight the attackers. Aiken trips on loose bricks from a broken wall and injures his back, so Yates and Owens continue alone, finding the shooters in a graveyard. Wounded in the leg, Yates falls behind as Owens races after the shooter. However, the shooter has surreptitiously moved, and Owens is shot from behind. Yates arrives, but the shooter is already gone, and it is too late for Owens, who dies in Yates' arms.
At a field hospital, a mortar attack injures multiple personnel and destroys many vehicles. The medical staff, including Marsh, is struggling to care for the wounded and dying as mortars rain down upon the compound. A young soldier carries his squad-mate into the trauma care ward. While Marsh addresses another soldier's wounds, the man draws a Beretta pistol and threatens to shoot him if he doesn't take care of his dying companion right away. Another squad-mate comes up and pulls the threatening soldier away. Price and Aiken are transported via medevac helicopter to a field hospital; Price's right hand is amputated. Aiken survives his wounds, and returns to the unit when they rotate back to the US. Price is remanded to a formal hospital for physical therapy and fitting for a non-functioning rubber prosthesis.
Upon returning home, the main characters have a hard time returning to civilian life. Price struggles with day-to-day things, like learning to unbutton her clothing with only one hand, while trying to resume her job as a crippled P.E. teacher and basketball coach. Yates is unemployed, having lost his job at a gun shop during his deployment. His father pushes him towards the police academy, but Yates, witnessing the self-destruction of Aiken, who had become frustrated and angry at being denied VA benefits for his back injury and the rejection of his girlfriend, walks out of the academy's entrance exam.
Marsh begins to slip into self-destructive behavior as his son, angry about the senselessness of the war and what it's done to his family, gets into trouble at school. Drunk on Thanksgiving Day, Marsh brings home three yard workers for dinner to the dismay of his family. Afterwards, his wife catches him in his study with a loaded pistol contemplating suicide. He agrees to go to therapy for PTSD. There, he reveals that he does not feel any emotion over the soldiers that died, but as a doctor he believes he should. The conflict had slowly eaten away at him until he could not control it anymore.
Aiken is shot and killed by the police at the small fast-food diner where his girlfriend worked; a result of him taking her and her co-workers hostage with a pistol to force her to talk to him. Marsh's wife reaffirms her love for him and offers to help him through counseling. Price falls in love with another coach at her school, whom she had rejected earlier while trying to transition back to her life. Yates has an emotional outburst at his father's shop and re-enlists. As the film ends, Marsh's son is happily playing in a soccer match at Price's school. Price introduces her new boyfriend to Marsh's wife and confirms dinner plans with them. Yates undergoes basic training again, and is shown patrolling the streets of an Iraqi city.

Reception[edit]
Box office[edit]
The film was opened in only 3 theaters in 2006 and earned $51,708 at the box office domestically and $447,912 in the rest of the world.[1] Originally released on December 15, 2006 for Oscar consideration, the production studio re-thought the release pattern and decided to pull it from theaters, planning on showing it to a wider audience later in the year. It was re-released on May 11, 2007 in 44 theaters, but this did not increase the film's financial earnings.
Critical reception[edit]
The film received negative reviews from critics. Rotten Tomatoes currently gives Home of the Brave a 22% rating on its site, indicating "rotten reviews". The consensus stated; "The ensemble cast works hard, but hammy direction and a script lacking in nuance ruins this movie’s noble intentions."[2] The A.V. Club named it in its top 100 flops.[3] TV Guide gave the film 2 stars out of 4 and commented that the film "starts with a bang and ends in a long, protracted whimper" and Stephen Holden from The New York Times said you "feel as if you have just sat through an earnest made-for-television movie" and in the end "an honorable dud".[4][5]
Home media[edit]
The Numbers reported 236,905 units sold, accounting for revenue of $4,735,731.[6]
Awards[edit]
It was nominated for a Golden Globe award for Best Original Song ("Try Not to Remember") which was performed by Sheryl Crow. Jessica Biel and Samuel L. Jackson each received a Prism Award nomination for Performance in a Feature Film.[7]

The American League of Professional Baseball Clubs, or simply the American League (AL), is one of two leagues that make up Major League Baseball (MLB) in the United States and Canada. It developed from the Western League, a minor league based in the Great Lakes states, which eventually aspired to major league status. It is sometimes called the Junior Circuit because it claimed Major League status for the 1901 season, 25 years after the formation of the National League (the "Senior Circuit").
At the end of every season, the American League champion plays in the World Series against the National League champion; two seasons did not end in playing a World Series. Through 2017, American League teams have won 65 of the 112 World Series played since 1903, with 27 of those coming from the New York Yankees alone. The New York Yankees have won 40 American League titles, the most in the league's history, followed by the Philadelphia/Kansas City/Oakland Athletics (15) and the Boston Red Sox (13).
The 2017 American League champions are the Houston Astros.

History[edit]
Main article: History of the American League
Teams of the American League, 1903
Originally a minor league known as the Western League, the American League later developed into a major league after the American Association disbanded. In its early history, the Western League struggled until 1894, when Ban Johnson became the president of the league. Johnson led the Western League into major league status and soon became the president of the newly renamed American League. Babe Ruth, noted as one of the most prolific hitters in Major League Baseball history, spent the majority of his career in the American League. The American League has one notable difference versus the National League, in that since 1973 it has had the designated hitter rule. Under the rule, a team may use a batter in its lineup who is not in the field defensively, replacing any player (usually the pitcher) in the batting order, compared to the old rule that made it mandatory for the pitcher to bat.[3]
U.S. President Calvin Coolidge and Washington Senators pitcher Walter Johnson shake hands following the Senators' 1924 championship.
Until the late 1970s, league umpires working behind home plate wore large, balloon-style chest protectors worn outside the shirt or coat, while their brethren in the National League wore chest protectors inside the shirt or coat. In 1977, new umpires (including Steve Palermo) had to wear the inside chest protector, although those on staff wearing the outside protector could continue to do so. Most umpires made the switch to the inside protector, led by Don Denkinger in 1975 and Jim Evans the next year, although several did not, including Bill Haller, Lou DiMuro, George Maloney, and Jerry Neudecker, who became the last MLB umpire to use the outside protector in 1985.
In 1994, the league, along with the National League, reorganized again, into three divisions (East, West, and Central) and added a third round to the playoffs in the form of the American League Division Series, with the best second-place team advancing to the playoffs as a wild-card team, in addition to the three divisional champions. In 1998, the newly franchised Tampa Bay Devil Rays joined the league, and the Arizona Diamondbacks joined the National League: i.e., each league each added a fifteenth team. An odd number of teams per league meant that at least one team in each league would have to be idle on any given day, or alternatively that odd team out would have had to play an interleague game against its counterpart in the other league. The initial plan was to have three five-team divisions per league with inter league play year-round—possibly as many as 30 interleague games per team each year. For various reasons, it soon seemed more practical to have an even number of teams in both leagues. The Milwaukee Brewers agreed to change leagues, moving from the AL Central to the NL Central. At the same time, the Detroit Tigers were moved from the AL East to the AL Central, making room for the Devil Rays in the East. Following the move of the Houston Astros to the American League in 2013, both leagues now consist of 15 teams.
For the first 96 years, American League teams faced their National League counterparts only in exhibition games or in the World Series. Beginning in 1997, interleague games have been played during the regular season and count in the standings. As part of the agreement instituting interleague play, the designated-hitter rule is used only in games where the American League team is the home team.
Teams[edit]
Charter franchises[edit]
There were eight charter teams in 1901, the league's first year as a major league, and the next year the original Milwaukee Brewers moved to St. Louis to become the St. Louis Browns. These franchises constituted the league for 52 seasons, until the Browns moved to Baltimore and took up the name Baltimore Orioles. All eight original franchises remain in the American League, although only four remain in the original cities (Detroit, Chicago, Boston, and Cleveland). The eight original teams and their counterparts in the "Classic Eight" were:
original Baltimore Orioles (went bankrupt and became defunct after 1902 season, not to be confused with the current Baltimore Orioles, see Milwaukee Brewers),[4] replaced in 1903 by the New York Highlanders (became the New York Yankees in 1913)
Boston Americans (became the Boston Red Sox in 1908)
Chicago White Stockings (became the Chicago White Sox in 1903)
Cleveland Blues[5] (became the Cleveland Indians in 1915)
Detroit Tigers (name and locale unchanged from 1894 forward)
original Milwaukee Brewers (became the St. Louis Browns in 1902 and the new Baltimore Orioles in 1954)
Philadelphia Athletics (became the Kansas City Athletics in 1955 and the Oakland Athletics in 1968)
original Washington Senators (became the Minnesota Twins in 1961)[6]
