Blue Devils Trumpet Octet

[@ManiacalSurgeon]

The piece may be confusing to the ears but that guy on the far right has an amazing embouchure!!!! Man that is a crisp sound!!

[@nathanhale464]

blue devils trumpet section is just like my idol , every time i go to school playing high c,d,e,f and just i just keep trying harder and harder to get that higher range and to play as good as them

[@starstarstar42]

*Inside the guy on the far end's brain* Ok man, concentrate, part is coming up in 16 more measures. Ok, soon now, patience, almost there, loosen the arms, expand the chest, controlled breath and ***TRIPLE GEEEEEE!**** Ok, that was good, take a rest. Another 48 bars from now we have to do our part again, focus... *1.5 minutes later* ***TRIPLE GEEEEE!*** Phew, ok, that's the end of page 1, focus on our next contribution, 84 measures from now and... *3 minutes later* ***TRIPLE GGGGEEEEEE!!!!***

[@Mauplaya1227]

I love it how the far right dude's SOLE PURPOSE is to scream.

[@CODpsychic123]

The guy wearing the scouts jacket is salty af

[@ItssTaco]

I WANT THE MUSIC FOR THIS SO BADLY!

[@hollyjillgray1136]

I think all the comments are good. My father is a top notch trumpet pro and I grew up listening to his Besson and colicio, my cousin too is a pro horn. These kids are frickin fantastic! Give them a break, yes they are 2x over the staff and it is unnecessary in symphonic, but they are more marching type anyhow, I played reed in march & symphonic, and I saw several pieces with the blue devils and they MARCH, and they can and should blow up that high, THIS IS SICK-WOW!!!!HIGH!!! There quality is very good overall, and all may not be pulling their weight, but that is why there is 1st chair 1st part 2nd chair and 3rd chair in band! Someone needs to keep rhythm and play harmonics too, not everyone has the lead part!

[@deadhood_66]

god the trumpeter on the far right is amazing! double g's

[@NullWarranty]

Now that's what DCI is all about! I wish I could play like that. Haha. Maybe some day.

[@beastatsax556]

His screams sound nice and full

[@Thegaskin]

But, I do love it! I know I'm not supposed to, but I have serious respect for this trumpet line.

[@etanthony1]

i love the one screamer lol that's great

[@Phatmoose1]

All i can say is AWSOME!!!!!

[@007qtpie]

like honestly i just want to give the guy who screams a hug. BD trumpets

[@Luketa9006]

NOSSA HUMILHARAM A GENTE TRUMPETISTAS........MUITO BOM!!

[@sixty9fordkiller]

i dont know who's talking smack but this sounds pretty damn good to me! I can't stop watching it. Superior ensemble and individual talent!

[@TheStickCollector]

Haven't seen anything like this before

[@MrDavidfarris]

Some people feel the need to criticize I guess. Personally I've heard all sorts of players from world class to beginning class. This is a fine example of young people digging into their craft to achieve a higher standard for themselves. That's what its always been about. To compare them to yourself or anyone else is moot and out of place. I believe that since this an original piece, it was probably performed exactly the way the composer intended. Fine job gentleman. Haters just have to hate.

[@hondarideralex]

man you can hear the overtone on the last chord above the note of the lead trumpet!

[@Kurteously]

His screams are so loud and full. His aperture must be pretty large or maybe his throat is super open.

[@xxzhoutaixx]

Individual and Ensemble it's where corps can compete against each other just doing random stuff. So yes a solo an ensemble type of thing.

[@JoeMart123]

love the rings

[@MrKyleman28]

wouldnt be blue devils without an obtuse high note hangover

[@christophertaylor8761]

I’m gonna steal that one for next time

[@tominphx]

It's the Individual & Ensemble Competition. If you want to read more, go to dci dot org/news/view.cfm?news_id=8b4b9ec2-9683-4c9a-86f7-8ece2f3673a3 (obviously you have to replace the word "dot" with a period.)

[@mbmaccin555555]

crazy to think these guys are 21-

[@okey7261]

Or younger

[@dzinator4225]

@@okey7261 which is why he put the - dumbass.

[@topfuel567]

I'm in love!

[@Brassmamba]

And its all in tune

[@sylas95]

For those of u crying about the hangover and waiting 2 scream......GET OVER IT!!! Music is FELT and HEARD. It ain't a dam formula. I'm 17 and I know that. Live a little, dam. Anyway, stupendous job gentlemen. Keep working!!!

[@trumpetsuazo]

that "Garbage" player next to him is still playing like double. Compared to the "screamer" yes he probably cant play as high or loud but with out the 2nd guy over, the double c's and such wouldnt fit as well into the stacked chords. Every 5 needs a 1, so on and so forth. Think before you post.

[@DjBambi12]

it makes me feel sad about playing trumpet :( the guy on the right, damn... I can reach high sounds on the trumpet... but he, damn... he rocks

[@Jambando]

Yeah, I was lucky enough to march with him. Sick marcher and player

[@maxyboy712]

crazy ass bend @ :53

[@lcthorn225]

Well played

[@lanemyers426]

"the lead trumpet is going nowhere but up":D see what i did there

[@nbrister1]

Hi lane

[@Save0a0horse]

Hot damn....These boys are amazing..... O.o What's the name of the peice they're playing? I got that it was composed by Jeff Richman but i didn't catch the name

[@hiruytirfe]

I'm not the biggest fan of BD but I do credit for their stuff. No need to be all up-tight about it my friend

[@CrazyMcN4sty]

DAAYYYYYUUUUM!

[@MarineBugler]

Wonder what G horns would have sounded like? ... Old BD? ... (Great job, but it sounded like a college jazz ensemble, to me)

[@destroyerofworlds2393]

Wow. They're really good, for boys.

[@sci8]

Destroyer of worlds Most of the time it's boys playing trumpet....

[@destroyerofworlds2393]

Samuel Cai Really?

[@sci8]

Yea. Girl trumpet players are not too common. I mean, there are just a lot more boys than girls that choose trumpet.

[@destroyerofworlds2393]

Samuel Cai There are only girl trumpets in our marching band.

[@sci8]

Wow That's rare

[@HIME5SENTZ]

Buddy Rich woulda slapped victor with all those holds, whether or not it was written in the piece.

[@jakehinz2946]

That guy on the end was like a mosquito ringtone.

[@marvinmillbrook2230]

That's what you call...... BALLS!!!! SALUTE THE LEAD TRUMPET!!

[@Kayla1053]

same here!!!!

[@TonyF273]

@MrPartybar Thats the point of a Lead Trumpet!

[@ronxron]

oh yes.

[@Thesupman33]

I like how they just have one guy designated to scream the high notes, he doesnt play anything else :P

[@Struck94]

@who8mahbacon then get the music and play the upper upper lead trumpet part for this and record it and out on youtube!

[@JoeMart123]

@Rainbowexquisite well, they are the blue devils

[@bchapm]

So the vid can be summed up as, "look how high one of our leads can play"

[@Slowcalcones]

hahah i was there i watched that. amazing

[@zunkanathip1233]

Im watching in 2021

[@Bruizer1995]

@robocavie06 the slur is supposed to sound like that...just thought you ought to know...

[@1465225568]

@GodKid20 Hey! I'm a woodwind, and I thought this was the tits. I can still appreciate good music despite which instrument it comes from.

[@Ibanez3789]

Welcome to BD.

[@quentinc.nickerson33]

I like

[@trumpetsuazo]

double c*

[@theantagonizer7306]

Musically speaking this is pretty terrible but fun to listen to, I guess.

[@ElementalJerk]

Don’t make me call the mechanist

[@Ibanez3789]

I can tell you for a fact that the person playing all the altissimo notes is using a Bach 3D. And mouthpieces don't add notes, they change timbre and facilitate upper register playing. If you can play a double C on your peashooter, you should also be able to play double C on your bucket. If you can't, then it's likely that your approach to the instrument needs re-evaluation.

[@MHSTrumpetLine]

@kingrhun seem to have taken to heart. Not only all the aforementioned, but I never said it was bad music, i was merely pointing out what i found wrong with the video ( the list of things done right would have been too long ); Is that not what the comment section is for? Commenting on the video? I love screaming trumpet, or I wouldn't have been watching a Blue Devils video in the first place, and I gave these guys their props, as well as the video a like. Think before you type next time.

[@dbkeeg]

1:51 cool chord

[@eysikal]

@OuT2Th3l4sT You're right, what was I thinking? That makes it all better. Also, light show guy, huh?

[@theurge14]

Prob takes him a while to catch his breath and for his face to stop bleeding

[@shermanator8002]

FITCHAF --- Fit in the chord high as f .......

[@GodKid20]

8 woodwinds have watched this video

[@VagueTheory]

@pvtcairns Hmmm...I guess it's different for different people. I find it easier to build musicality than to build range, honestly. For musicality, I just work on stuff (i.e, intonation, tone, hard licks, etc.) over and over again until I'm satisfied. It's all about rinsing and repeating. For me anyway. Range takes a while longer for me. It takes so much more different aspects of practicing. (Lip muscles, air speed, air support, etc.) There are more musicality people than screamers out there IMO.

[@McDutchy]

Are you kidding? That's where I'd want to be.

[@007qtpie]

BD trumpets all day, everyday

[@justgoofinaround]

Why couldn't they have "screamed" like this during their show? I was more impressed with Crown's tuumpet section wailing...from their knees. Hence their 1st in brass; BD's 2nd. Guess the blame needs to lie on the corps directors. Need better section next year to highlight these guys. Congrats BD's on your 99.

[@DongleKumquat]

@Guitarhero617 the ShowJo because Scott Johnson = ScoJo

[@Syrenen11]

@asmcriminaL I mean sometimes in here the high notes do sound a bit bad, but yet listen to Maynard Ferguson. He was really well known in the jazz world, known for his chops, still made it sound musical. And BD (by what I know, base their shows off jazz). just listen to that and make a comparrison.

[@meeman21]

@plaetarsikcky probably because most of these guys are naturally lead players and don't play down there normally in the first place

[@trumpetkidd0]

ok..i believe you @jts5032 but i wouldnt not like to just scream double b's all day. yes i would scream of course. but i would want to play more as well.

[@myshilohmy]

crown doesn't generally play too high in their shows though, even though they usually have screamers

[@austinhall2819]

I felt like I have been shot down by the Death Star

[@serdnasocram]

if i were the little guy, that would be the spot where i died... holy crap

[@dbkeeg]

1:45

[@shiftygamer16]

the trumpet all the way on the right is not human! there is just no way!

[@NicholasLeeNRL]

Omg What is The Guy at the Right end name!!?

[@srecar6]

are u talkin bout victor the last guy to the right?

[@thebeatlefan156]

holy watering balls.

[@Dreaxms]

I play on a Stork LX4 and I have the same range I do on my 3C. It's just easier for me to play in the upper register with the Stork. I have a bigger/fuller sound with that mouthpiece as opposed to the 3C. So no, changing mouthpieces does NOT give you a higher range. It's all about air.

[@ez8308]

yes.. and no.

[@masterdrummer19]

guy on the very right.. idk his name though cuz i play drums and thats who i pay attention to more , but i love brass instruments still lol

[@Jambando]

Dynasty

[@hiruytirfe]

Buddy Rich would smack that trumpet player for hanging that release at 1:21

[@laughingstock133]

I like how the only tag on this video is "large" haha.

[@who8mahbacon]

@username669966 how a trumpet works? i dont think you do. without air there is no note. in order to change notes in different partials you change the air speed. higher notes require more air speed.

[@trmptfreek1]

@bluetagglamis91 it's a 6a4a

[@aa2011]

Actually it does... 22 of them

[@asmcriminaL]

i dont know vic, but i have played with bd, in 99 and 2000, was lead... played next to jeff lynn at clayton valley in 2000. i know a thing or 2 about playing trumpet, i have seen players with great range, but crappy technical skills, and crappy tone quality, in staff, and above stuff, but sound great in the double octave range. like mark van cleave says... "high notes are part of the music business, not the trumpet business" meaning the ultimate goal is to make music, not to play high

[@hastyberford]

1:21 Buddy Rich would totally scream about that hold. Nice chops though.

[@ZachAshcraft]

really? Actually somebody asked for peoples opinions on dynasty trumpets, so I take it that means he does care what I think. I hope you know I was talking about the trumpets not the players

[@cavalierfan2008]

yeah its ok

[@silkaem]

Can I have this hseet music please????? please??????? Dont say it doesnt exist. They are reading it.. Please

[@tayrae2013]

These notes are stupid high!

[@ItssTaco]

This Is Called The Chauffeur?

[@QJayTheProducer]

0:51 woke there ass up then

[@KorAnos1]

@GodKid20 As a woodwind (alto saxophone, specifically) I resent that; it doesn't take a brass player to know good music.

[@rshindy]

i feel bad for whoever is sitting right infront of the guy all the way on the right...

[@who8mahbacon]

@l0v35tik who wants to make squeaking noises come out of a trumpet. it not even hard all you need is air pressure. i could fart one of those notes

[@SpaceKKadet]

@cavalierfan2008 ur only saying that cuz ur cavaliers fan
