YASSS! Love this comment! Watching this with friends who enjoy the activity as much as you do is magical :)

[@sheldondoty35]

I know, right?!! I love the quality and inspiration these videos offer. You'll never cease to amaze me!

Alex Hernandez of course there lol

[@SoapxGhost141]

Yep from a former marching band member i have always heard it

[@caseyhodgin7287]

They may not be the cleanest line out there, but they're definitely one of the most expressive and fun to listen to. No shortage of creative ideas.

[@kamaharima3701]

Casey Hodgin Who is the cleanest?

[@threeperc]

Kamahari Ma scv, Blue Devils, recently Carolina Crown

[@Bobobo-bo-bo-bobobo]

As of this year, the cleanest lines were SCV, Blue Devils, Boston Crusaders, the Cadets, and the Coats

[@lameimpala8426]

BD was def not the cleanest line or close to it

Thank you!

[@chrisgaray87]

Late season, early afternoon, indoor long warm-ups are the best. Easy on the body, everything's too loud to tell if it's clean, just enjoying the atmosphere. Awesome video.

[@DisDatK9]

Right after a good lunch.. mmmm

[@hApPyMiSsCiRcLe]

Wow that's awesome man

[@hectyboi]

34:00 Random passerby is just like "who the hell are these people?!"

[@jarodrobbins]

You'd be surprised how many people do that, sometimes they think corps are the area marching band.

[@RishiJalukar]

If they are anything like I was, they didn’t know front existed in a marching band or drum corp setting

[@programmedwrong3795]

It's crazy, cause when I was younger I watched and enjoyed the drums(snares, tenors) the most. But, I love watching the pit now. It's amazing how good these marimba players are these days.

[@smithian5128]

Gotta say, I played snare for years. marched DCA, attempted to try out for crown and bluecoats barely didn’t make the cut with Crown and then couldn’t afford Bluecoats at the time(I’m 25 now), and haven’t played in 2 years. Videos like these that you’ve made has inspired me to get going again. I miss it so much! Thank you!⚒🙏🏻

[@libertyone5853]

People have NO idea the incredible amount of time , practice AND talent these individuals devote to their art.

[@grantpaisley9012]

This whole video helps me really appreciate this activity and the amount of time, skill and aptitude it takes to play this fast and clean. I really look up to these guys, and all the other dci lines. I'm working right now to get to this point with a dci line and I'm looking forward to taking part one day.

[@1whoDoesSimply]

That's my dream. To have the skill, time, and money simply for one season as long as i'm eligible.

[@bread_girl_jane]

did you ever make it?

[@grantpaisley9012]

@@bread_girl_jane Never did. I ended up auditioning twice for the Cavies but felt my life leading me in a different direction. I still drum and enjoy following DCI but it's def a thing of the past!

[@RHG_Drums]

Lol what was that person saying?

[@DisDatK9]

He was just being a loud drunk idiot

[@vasecore7508]

He was just being silly and got carried away. He wanted to finally hear the "Book" story time is all he wanted heh heh.

DatK9 lol yeah, we have a stick toss later in the show, and there were a few run-throughs (including this one) where I forgot to give him a stick to throw to me

[@JonBecker81]

Im always so impressed with the mallets players. Just crazy how they can know the music so well that it’s just muscle memory and they don’t even need to look down to see where they’re playing.

[@sodibobs8879]

Nice! My dream is do part of BlueCoats, The Instrument that i play is snare, i'm teacher of percussion in my band, Sorry my terrible english LOL I speak basic english why i'm brazilian and have 15 year old...!!!

[@grandprairiehsdrumline4730]

My dreams to be in the bluecoats, and I’m currently an upcoming sophomore from Gphs. A lot of my friends have told me that I have potential, so I’m gonna do my best to join!

[@gridbooknation]

That is awesome! It takes a lot of hard work, patience, and learning from mistakes, but the reward of marching is worth it! If you ever wanted some professional help we have an online school of percussion where we help people join DCI. You can even learn from and work with a Bluecoats Drumline staff member John Lluvera who is Co-Founder of the school. Learn more and enroll here: www.gridbookpercussion.com/ Good luck and remember to always have fun on your journey!

If you never marched in a drum line in high school or college then you can’t have a true respect for what these guys do. It’s unbelievable. Especially the bass line. Sometimes I think they have the hardest job.

[@josiesargent258]

Yaaaa roger on drum set

[@elswado__3897]

21:32 Im cryingg!!!

[@ericadultman625]

this is like 98% percussion just a fore warning. I was hoping for brass warm ups and stuff. I don't want anyone to waste their time if that's what they wanted.

[@gridbooknation]

We have considered adding brass and color guard to our videos! We are a percussion education company, so we make these videos with a percussion focus. But we do enjoy the other sections and would love to add them to the video! However, the videos usually run about 1 - 1.5 hours, so we might make one of these separate but for each section. Once we have a bigger team, this is the goal! Stay tuned and thanks for watching!

[@baleohhay7983]

At 55:33 just imagine being that vibe bein fukin BLASTED by tubas. The power of contras is unmatched

[@isaiahbaggett5014]

1. Any other folks watching in 2020 during Corona? 2. Are there any female band leaders/instructors in these elite ensembles? It seems like I never see them. 3. Bass splits always blow my damn mind!!!

Thanks for creating this. Loved watching and found it fascinating. Wish we could have seen what's involved in the wind sectionals and warmups.

[@gridbooknation]

Thanks so much! It was fun making this! We are a percussion education company so our main focus is percussion, but in the future it would be cool to expand and showcase the other sections! Thanks for the suggestion!
