2010 SCV Brass Line Sings Chorale @ Walnut, CA

[@MrBass2forlife]

"if you can sing it, you can play it."

[@edwhitt3727]

......and if you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball!!!

[@fountainofvim]

The "van-guard" at the end sounds like an amen to close off a prayer. Really beautiful.

[@f3tuscannon]

i honestly never get tired of bands singing and then picking up their instruments and sounding virtually the same. simply amazing what these guys can do

[@hubcap334]

I understand that all Corps sing their parts, but this one always gets me....right to the goosebumps....

[@BarOfSomething]

Santa Clara Blow My Fkin Mind Away and draw tears to my eyes.

[@anutyfruty]

T Andre Feagin is my band director :) That's right, the guy in the red sweater.

[@bawolf17]

Listen with headphones! Chilling. Lovely. Thank you, Mr. Feagin, and all you young musicians, for sweating out the summer and playing your hearts out. Beautiful singing - I actually hear the base line better in voice than with horns.

[@acs197]

And the tone just gets better and better because of it!

[@DCIaddict2601]

I love Professor Feagin:)

[@TXmedic95]

even though you can find some hairs raising DCI moments out there, this has to be the most beautiful thing I've heard in all of DCI. the warmth, intonation, and perfectly heard chords is just so beautiful. If you can sing it, you can play it much better

[@hubcap334]

On A Hymn Song by the Cadets might raise some hairs if you haven't seen that one yet...

[@MadmanmattOrlando]

One of my all time favorite videos. I've been using it to tune studio accustics for a long time. Nothing has shaken the rafters like your horn line.

[@jcor7212]

I would love to march with Feagin Just because he is so patient and Understanding plus he has it together A clear example is this. What a legend the Man is.....

[@RBVTBONE]

Andre's presence is just..so.. incredible.. he was the only brass caption head I feel like I REALLY had a solid connection with while I was playing.. like a great orchestral conductor! When you're communicating musically with someone who's presence is so strong and plain to see, you instantly have something in common with, and become one with everyone around you because they're focused on the same thing you're focused on and are feeling the same thing you're feeling.

[@noeydeleon]

10 years. SCV is a corps of true musicians. ❤️

[@PlushChronicles]

Whoa, DCI has so amny AMAZING musicians. Thats right, not just horn player, they are masters of voice and dynamics as well.

[@gonzo561]

@stakluva as a nation we have trivialized the importance of music education and the arts. I have a strong suspicion that a majority of musicians, regardless of their career path, take the lessons learned through the study of music and apply them to their life. Yet, our elected leaders are cutting programs and creating a void for our children. Thank goodness for drum corps and other music education programs that are developing these young musicians and sharing this wonderful music with us.

[@sanderschat]

2022, still coming back to this once in a while... what a quality of sound

[@Abyss375]

The finest video of DCI brass playing I have witnessed so far. Calm, clear, and to the point

[@bradporky16]

@DrumVu without a doubt. i know Andre so well because i marched SCV mello line in '09. but i absolutely agree, the volunteers are truly the backbone of any corps. without them, there is no tour.

[@truckco1b]

There`s a reason this post has 101+ thousand hits. A great director and corp make for an amazing video.

[@peacefather.]

Arguably THE best sounding hornline in DCI. I'm not saying loudest, that goes to Crown or Phantom, but I'm talking intonation, tone, and everything in between. SCV sounds so orchestral...it's amazing...

[@wilsonkm]

@DrumVu This is the best thing I heard all week.

[@Fransizzzzzzle]

It is so awesome to have a drum corps that sticks to the heart of soul of what drum corps represents: Great musicality on the move.

[@egomez234]

Andre Faegin is the MAN!!!!

[@DNAsxe]

I usually only watch in the lot vids of drumlines, but after watching one of these im hooked on SVC in the lot! so good

[@keemez]

Gosh dang they balance/blend well..... an SCV trademark.

[@rob33cherry]

chord at 1:43 soooooo good, then even better moving into the next! This is just fantastic! the quality of balance, breathing, control and dynamics is just great!!! give me this over a group of people who believe they need to bend their knees and have bad releases means they are good

[@jhob83]

Beautiful.

[@deezel2013]

@anutyfruty he was my band director in high school a couple years ago! The man is amazing!

[@MHSroyalbone]

Wonderful, they sound so awesome. Kudos to Dr. Feagin and the awesome brass staff!!

[@tellysworld]

@RBVTBONE SCV will miss this guy in 2011. Best of luck to him.

[@UnleashedProPlays]

This just never ceases to amaze me.

[@Jpswan701]

Classic Vanguard ahhhh it never gets old

[@McFlury9687]

What an unbeleivable sound!

[@euphdude0812]

Such a pure sound.

[@skwmusic5233]

Marching band and music have taught me many things. You can never practice enough, that you have to want to be good, that you need to have the correct mindset to do good, that absolute focus is vital. Music has taught me that although you may be having an off-day, you have to keep going, because your effort on that off-day is going to pay off when you rock that concert. Yes it's a shame that many people don't see the value of music education.

[@coolkidd33z]

music genius, this should be whats expected for all bands. been whatchin this this video a lot, and still love it

[@1049berkeley]

Beautiful

[@poconofriend777]

Such a great blend.

[@mrbigg151]

WOW!!! singing AND playing at that level is IMPRESSIVE!!!

[@carlacummings8669]

Still beautiful in 2021!

[@peytonjmusic]

@RockabillyChaCha dude! your so lucky man! he was the clinician at a band clinic i went to and i learned so much within 3 days!

[@bayLEY3211]

That was..... Amazing.

[@afred88]

makes me feel happy

[@RockabillyChaCha]

His name is Andre Feagin. He's an Amazing conductor and also an amazing professor of mine, at The University of Texas at El Paso. :)

[@jinaragunlark]

Chills, so many chills!

[@houlini]

Wow. Fantastic attention to the director. Great performance... practice.

[@supersop]

Impeccable. Keep up the great work SCV

[@2009EIB]

Fantastic mic on your camera. Good for you!

[@socaltrumpet83]

I love the chord progessions in the first line. I-V-I7(V7/IV...aka the sweet spot)-IV-V7-I. Simple but effective in Bach chorales, especially with dominant seventh chords. Excellently played by the ever amazing Vanguard.

[@noobsrock08]

Wow. They even sing beautifully.

[@who8mahbacon]

i love chorales, you can learn so much from them.

[@OverAllMusicGuy]

You're always there at the right moments..

[@djc4n]

the setting of the sun was perfect for the beutiful choral

[@gwong43]

SCV makes me happier than anything in the world.

[@n.ate29]

Rance, I love your videos! Great work SCV!

[@peytonjmusic]

i love his his cut off!!!

[@peytonjmusic]

that guys gonna be the conductor at an honor band im going to!!!!!!

[@Bachtel66]

Fantastic......

[@darkkennight]

This makes me miss Marching band a lot

[@MUSIC4LIFE346]

I just realized that the last two notes they sing, they say Van-guard. that's class right there

[@ElFantasma1996]

Simply amazing.

[@coolkidd33z]

Im a percussionist and still love this

[@AnthonyVu]

@bradporky16 I wouldn't doubt that. I respect any person involved in the activity - from the executive directors all the way to the volunteers (who are probably the biggest fans of DCI).

[@firsthr]

band kids are better singer than choir kids. hell yeah!

[@robertjonasson2527]

Imagine this being played in a cathedral with glorious reverberation!

[@InfinityEnterprises]

I love the videography on this.

[@deadhood_66]

So beautiful tone amazing.

[@trumpetislife2792]

absolutely phenomenal. dude, not only is this a great video, but I really like the setup you've got with your camera!

[@smachendree]

If you can't sing it, you can't play it... Unless it's a bag pipe band! I played in a pipe band for 15yrs after aging out. I'd take Corps any day, but the kilts made it worth it! :oD

[@OverAllMusicGuy]

Next year will feature: C.C.I. Choir Corps International with groups like Santa Clara Vanguard or Blue Coats 2008 singing feature, I think there's gonna be a breakthrough

[@UnleashedProPlays]

This is absolutely amazing!

[@Classicrock515]

The chorale is "Abide With Richest Blessings"

[@tellysworld]

@MarinVillalpando15 If you don't have the time (or money) for DCI but you still want to march in a drum corps, look into joining a DCA corps. They are all-age and lots of fun. Marching in DCA Finals is a great experience. The season is about to start. In fact, today is the San Francisco Renegades Open House. Come down to Del Mar High School in San Jose today at 1PM. Many of our young people go on to march SCV, Blue Devils and Bluecoats. Worth your while!

[@MTAndreas]

The voice of God. Thank you

[@karmainacan]

what a great cut off at 0:09 !

[@KainDrums13]

thank god!!!!

[@rmeadztpt11]

One thing to say. WOW!

[@poconofriend777]

@truemusician100 He says, "enter this silence with great poise."

[@TheDancewithg]

LOVE IT!!!

[@oldschooldrumcorps]

"Enter the silence with great voice" quote of the month

[@AnthonyNievesSingWithMe]

I favorited this before i knew wat dci was then i come back and i realize wait this is vanguard -o-

[@avenged7xguitar]

What a classy guy.

[@markgprieto13]

I WAS THERE!

[@MichaelTuba]

@DrumVu I would like to think that Andre is a little more accurate than 6-24 :/ Great quality vids; thanks for the uploads!

[@acs197]

Beautiful :')

[@salfademas]

I miss the SCV warmth, sensitivity, and dynamically aware horn lines. It is what set them apart in a lot of ways, even in the age of synth and concert pitched instruments. Terrific video.

[@Classicrock515]

@TheTealeuph Abide with Richest blessings

[@cainanuk]

I remember wayyyyy back when... Chris Nalls and Richie Hodge telling us in Freelancers, that you cant possibly play it if you cant sing it! Awesome. I dont know if these kids realize how lucky they are to be taught by someone of Dr Feagan's calibre.

[@Danikarissma]

HERMOSO!!!!

[@SweetlyDissonant]

It's so beautiful! *sniffle*

[@socaltrumpet83]

@sariphax It's their gauntlets. The rest of the hornline has theirs on.

[@SL1DEmemphis]

memphis sound '07! That was my corps director!

[@Joselrcblkops]

Pure awesome...:')

[@tellysworld]

@MarinVillalpando15 Long tradition in SCV to sing your parts. I remember when I marched in the late 70's, we did the same. If you play a horn at a decent level, it is not too difficult a task.

[@AirsoftWorld10]

wow they actually would make a great chorus:)

[@TheGandolf1]

I would kill for a master copy of this chart. Fantastic!!

[@TheJaFraman]

It's called 'Abide With Richest Blessings', first link on google is a SATB 4part harmony chart. :)

[@TheGandolf1]

Thanks. I hope I can find it okay. Love it!

[@123alxar]

Vaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanguaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@NEoJeD14]

@socaltrumpet83 actually the rest of the hornline has their gauntlets on their backs, contras do it a bit differently. =P

[@bradporky16]

@DrumVu his name is Andre Feagin and he is one of the finest men I have ever known
