[@hun64597]

Bluecoats still has the best closer I have ever seen. I don't care if the pitch bend was synth. That fucking crowd reaction is so damn loud that you can barely hear the horns over the cheering. Fan fucking tastic.

[@definitelynotcainan3353]

Hunter Johnson Whilst it was done on the synth (and as an old fart, I should hate this but don't)... it was actually the Bluecoats hornline in the midi sample and the note was bent by hand so the performer had to judge it by ear... killer show though...

[@hun64597]

Cainan Cornelius .... I know this. XD I'm just saying... It would have been amazing if it was ALL brass instruments, but alas, that isn't possible.

[@alexsandoval8703]

Hunter Johnson I think you can actually hear the mixing that the production team at DCI did on the recording because the crowd cheering swells significantly once the corps cuts off. They had to turn the audience down post-production, and I think that's amazing.

[@return2monke]

I personally think that SCV had the best closer ever in 09. The Blue Coat's was amazing this year, I just don't feel like it was the best ever :-/

[@jmbermea]

I remember watching them in Indy. And you are NOT lying when you say that crowd reaction was insane. My memory of watching them was slight clapping here and there for the first nine minutes. Then that closer came up, BAM! Everyone lost it. I had never seen a crowd react like that before to something like that.

Yep. This the year Blue Knights changed direction and I've loved everyone of their productions since then. The put out some emotional show especially this one.. made me shed a couple tears...

[@channelthree6678]

The sophistication and depth of these corps is absolutely stunning. It's getting to the point where all twelve corps are so crisp, so visually arresting, with such powerful brass and drum lines, such strong stories and emotions, it's getting freaking crowded at the top!

[@definitelynotcainan3353]

Channel Three I aged out in 92... I can honestly say that any one of these corps down to about 8th would have walked finals in my day.

It seems like this was a year of new for dci. 1st, because of how many corps changed uniforms (Madison, Boston Crusaders, Blue Knights, Phantom, Crown, vanguard, and Blue Devils!). 2nd, the fact that Bluecoats set a record score for themselves, AND Blue Devils set the all time world record. What a great year for dci!

[@johni.3418]

Do you know if phantom regiment is going to keep the same uniform style for this summer?

[@mychannelboyeeeeeeee]

no. I wish I did know. I actually didn't care for their uniforms this year. I would be happy to see them go back to an all white uniform, like the one from "into the light. "

[@johni.3418]

I KNOW, the uniform only looked good with the show they did. Unless they do a show next year that matches they're uniform style, then I think Phantom will go even farther downhill.

[@mychannelboyeeeeeeee]

i agree.

[@jarrettvarnadoe5929]

They have posted the uniforms now if y'all haven't seen them. The Corps is all white with a golden right sleeve, and a gold and black sash. And their plume is white with black tips. The DM is the same, but just all black without a golden sleeve, and his plume is all black.

Honestly, I'm so happy I got to be in one of these videos. This was my first year in a top 12 drum corps and I feel like I got to participate in the way I got into drum corps. I saw the 2008 video and fell in love with this activity and wanted to be in one of these videos SO bad. To get to be in it, especially the last FULL one is bittersweet. I wish these were still being made because these made the activity accessible for me as a new person. Thanks for these JeremyBugles

[@MrDigitalhax]

Honestly, definitely my favorite show that year, and probably of all time, was That One Second. I just can't get over how deep and emotional and meaningful it was, not to mention how far BK had come that year. Plus the stories I've read about how it was taught show that this is truly art, and not just a competition. Instead of drilling it into the kids heads to play what they had written, they asked the kids how they think would be the best way to communicate those emotions to the audience, and asked them to play it that way. I just love every aspect of that show.

[@keyowilson5695]

I have to say, awesome job with the editing and the video. I only have one minor critique though....we all know you have a Phantom bias, which is perfectly reasonable, but in the 2014 best moments, you really should have ended with Bluecoats' ending. That alone was the greatest moment in 2014, especially for those of us remembering it live. I am not speaking from my personal bias but from the reactions of the crowd, it was priceless. Anyway, please keep up the great work and I look forward to 2015!

[@peaceloveandband]

Ok, since this video is getting a lot of attention, I have a question. Where is everyone else? Don't call it the best moments of DCI 2014 when you only include top 12. Plenty of other corps did some pretty cool stuff. At least specify that you are only including the top 12. This is the sort of thing animal farm was about. We keep forgetting the rest of DCI

[@lhsbandfreak11]

Which is why Boston's show was one of my favorites from this past summer. They pretty much told it as it is.

[@DKC7437LC]

Then go make your own best moments of DCI peaceloveandband

[@peaceloveandband]

unfortunately that's not going to happen because I don't have the time for that. I'm just asking that the people who do acknowledge the rest of the DCI world. This video would be fine as long as the title said "Top 12" instead of just insinuating that this is the best moments in all of DCI 2014. That is all I ask.

[@dawnedeclipse]

The guy posts the best moments from top 12, in due time there will be best of DCI from all corps, but this is his top 12, based on his view. It is subjective and not objective tastes, so just give it some time and pretty soon you will see the other corps getting the recognition they deserve. I would imagine it's just a time consuming effort to watch all 47 videos and find his favorite moments, rather than just 12 shows.

[@lhsbandfreak11]

I definitely understand that, but my fear is that for some people who aren't as familiar with the activity or looking to march in a corps, and this is their first exposure, the risk is that the viewer develops a mindset of "only the top 12 are worth trying out for." I know that for most, that's not the case, but all the while, that mentality is definitely a slight to the other corps that didn't make finals. The "finalist corps or bust" attitude just doesn't sit well with me personally.

[@wheelsyproductions]

I don't know how many times I've watched it, the Bluecoats closer manages to give me the chills EVERY time.

[@Friday702Musicality]

Crown was on point, visually and musically, this year. Clean AF. 5th place was way too low.

[@S0RGEx]

If it were any other year, I would agree. But everyone this year was fantastic, and it was more about which show was more perfect than anything else. Plus, Crown's percussion really holds them back more than anything else. Their marching was good and their brass was phenomenal as usual, but percussion is definitely their weakness, and that's typically what gives them relatively lower placements than they might deserve.

[@jnpconcept1]

The only issue is that the show in its entirety was boring and gimmicky. Plus their percussion is complete dirt.

[@definitelynotcainan3353]

Friday702Musicality Crown was a major enigma this year... I'd go so far as to say that hornline was actually better than 2013 and had an even better book to play, but the design staff absolutely killed this show by over egging the pudding GE wise... the hell were they thinking with those damned trampolines? Most of the show they were visually pretty average but that was probably also down to demand which was off the chart. Some of that drill is so visually exposed it's truly frightening.

[@TheKingLunar]

SCV's opening was CRAZY LOUD in person, I'm not sure a video can do it justice.

[@Mediocre_Music]

[@jesuspectre9883]

Boston's Animal Farm had plenty of exciting visual moments, but the story didn't hang together. Like the Orwell story itself, there was no satisfying ending. Drum corps lacks spoken words, and without words, binary visual depictions usually work best as a watered-down substitute. But in this, everyone was wearing a different mask, and there was no coalescence, no clear singular dramatic action, no one to fight for. The underlying dramatic action was too complex, too hard to stuff into a twelve minute show, and as a result, it's unsatisfying, and raises more questions than it answers.
