My band director was one of the trumpets in this show, and sometimes I hear him in his office playing that flight of the bumblebee bit. Also I can see where he gets the warm up techniques.

[@titusdennington6249]

You. Are. So. Lucky to have a band director that was in this show.

[@alildaisy2180]

I’m in a high school marching band and holy CRAP that’s a perfect circle and this sounds AMAZING

[@Illiterate243]

I wonder how long they practiced getting into a circle.

[@alildaisy2180]

@@Illiterate243 yeah I wonder. Circles are actually very difficult 😂😂

[@judsonbaker4628]

Well considering it is the Blue Devils this is a normal formation. Drum Corps is not marching band.

I feel like the Blue Devils hold the trumpets' ranges hostage or something. "SCREAM AT ALL TIMES OR YOU WON'T EAT"

Dude 😂😂😂 funny shit.

[@Davidkaisermusic]

From what I've heard from BD guys I know (including a staff member in this video), the leads at BD are just so good they don't have to take it down. Seriously, Wayne Bergeron-esque chops. The staff asks if they need to take it down but they never do. Absolutely incredible.

[@Chazahc18]

WOAH!

[@charliezshots]

Yeah my band director had directed Blue devils but is now teaching our Westlake

[@seandevlin3948]

These are all effective warmups and practice tools for any level. I've used similar warmups with middle schoolers and seen professional symphonic musicians humming, buzzing, and running Remington exercises before a performance. It's all 'variations on a long tone.'

[@Astrobrant2]

Geez, I wonder what that sounds like in the middle!

[@seandevlin3948]

Well take what you hear in the video, turn it to 11, and imagine in full surround sound. That's what it is like my friend.

[@ChrisPriceMusicSamples]

It's awesome. I marched Columbians this year and I got to sit in the middle of this exact circle. It sounds amazing. I'm the dark-haired dude near the baritone section.

[@huntercurtis3936]

At the DCI Southeastern Championship in Powder Springs Georgia this year, I was lucky enough to sit in the middle of their circle. I was on a band trip to DCI and a friend of me and I saw BD's hornline walk far from their trailers. We followed them and they ended up in a tennis court. We sat there and watched them do a visual practice (which was pretty cool). Then they all went and formed a circle, so my friend and I walked to the outside fencing of the tennis court to hear them better. Then they started letting people in the court, but outside of the circle. My friend and I were super stoked just to be that close. Then they started letting people inside the circle, so of course I went. The sound was indescribable, and truly amazing. My friend and I were the only people in my school there that went into the circle, or even heard their warm-up, up close. It was awesome that I got to see and hear them up-close and in the circle!

[@AmericanGirlGymnasts]

THEY CAN PLAY GOOD AND SING GOOD TOO?!?!?😂

[@Pretzel3567]

At that level they go hand in hand, having good control of your air stream, like they do, makes singing easier.

[@mux3044]

Watch blue coats singing their 2011 show or 2016 show

[@seandevlin3948]

My trumpet professor (and really all our music faculty) had the rule of "if you can't hear it you can't play it," and audiation is one of the cornerstones of musical practice and is easiest to apply without your instrument - just use the vocal folds you have. That's why any school of music has ALL their musicians sing on some level. So... if you want to play at a high level it might be time to start singing a bit.

[@Ebidle]

They have to be able too. There air control (as stated) and to learn by ear easier

[@zaknefain100]

@@seandevlin3948 Exactly. Let's see... dependent on your range, holding 1-3 down, you can play 3-4 different notes with ease. If you have no concept of where note center is; what the note is supposed to sound like... how would you ever hit the note you're after? Oh, and this is carried to an even greater extreme for f-horn players.

[@bagua465]

I love how the band puts their horns up and down in waves. So satisfying

[@zayplayzzz8539]

It's also the ballad

[@sketchyexcuse]

How much air do they have in their lungs?!

[@bagellife2809]

Prob just a little more than most brass players. They are just so got at stagger breathing you can’t tell. They prob have like numbers and they can only breath on counts 1-4 depending on their number. And I think they ease in to play after a breath and breaths are really short and fast. They keep everything not accented and smooth.

just hearing the guys at the beginning made me think they were going to break out into the halo theme.

The crowd sitting in the center was so dead.. how were they not cheering and clapping after the show segments

[@seandevlin3948]

Speaking honestly it's just kind of how the North West crowds are... Once you start moving East they pickup more and more. Ohio is known for having some of the most animated crowds.

[@Lkease]

Sean With Life I've been to Massillon OH for 2 shows, both last year. Great crowds. But nothing compares to the crowds at Allentown, PA. They're not afraid to cheer in the lots like some of the other shows I've been to.

[@seandevlin3948]

You know, I forgot about the Allentown lots - most likely to the memories of the great audience in Birney Crum. But do the Allentown lots even count as lots when they are so big that they count as their own show? The show before the show.

[@GreeVince247]

I know, at about 4:25 all you would’ve heard is me like...”AaaaAaaAAAAHHHH LET’s GO!!! Not to mention 4:49 ugh😷

[@Rekkwave]

I was in that crowd in the center. Most of us were just blown out of our minds and couldn’t respond with anything but just awe stricken faces

[@cadencibellis5371]

i play clarinet right now and i want to learn a brass instrument as well. which one should i choose?

[@carlenger9707]

Hmm... depends on which sound or role you like the best. Trumpets have the high stuff and (usually the melody). Mellophones have the most technical passages. Baritones/Euphoniums have the filling roles and sometimes the melody. Tubas provide the bass voice and can on occasion have the melody. So it just depends on what you feel like doing. I personally know a clarinet player who switched to euphonium in a year and is now at Blue Knights on his way to Bluecoats. So there you go.

[@seandevlin3948]

Baritone/Euphonium are often considered the easiest and most natural embouchure for beginning brass players to achieve. While a little more challenging many woodwind players have great success and find enjoyment with the Mellophone as Corps arrangers will often take the woodwind parts from the source music and write it for the Mellophone. But honestly just choose the one you enjoy the sound of the most. You have to enjoy the sound you are making.
