text: Botti performed "The Star-Spangled Banner" in MetLife Stadium for a crowd of over 80,000 and a worldwide television audience on November 3, 2014, prior to the Indianapolis Colts vs. New York Giants National Football League game.
  Botti appeared in the Season 3 The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills episode "Don't Sing For Your Supper" as a dinner guest of Yolanda Hadid and David Foster.
  Instrument
  Botti plays a Martin Committee large-bore Handcraft trumpet made in 1939, and uses a No. 3 silver-plated mouthpiece from Bach made in 1926, having recently retired his 1920 3C Bach mouthpiece. He uses a Leblanc Vacchiano Harmon mute from the 1950s.
  Before getting the Martin Handcraft Committee, Chris Botti played on a 1972 Calicchio S1 ML trumpet originally sold in September 1972. Dominick Calicchio's wife Irma Calicchio erased the original owner's name and information and put in Chris Botti's name as the official owner. He later traded the Calicchio S1 for the 1939 Handcraft Martin Committee.
