Bluecoats 2014 - Hornline Warmup [Quality Audio]

[@BenGunnarson]

KILLER white dawn rep. Proud to be a part of it, and thankful for the great recording!

[@HornlineFanatic]

Wow. You guys were just incredible. Really wish every musician had the chance to hear something like this in person. Between Pants and "Pup 'N Suds", the 2013 hornline really put Bluecoats on my radar. This 2014 warmup was my first impression of this year's hornline, and served as instant confirmation that this hornline is not to be missed. Speaking of which, I do have an epic 2014 Pants vid in the works... Thanks for performing, and for your comment!

[@BenGunnarson]

HornlineFanatic Can't wait!

ToweringTimeTable i LOVE this group. because of the bluecoats , i am going to try out for 2 open class corps for 2016. my goal is to be a bluecoat eventually . If you are a trumpet player, can you tell me how you warm up?

[@BenGunnarson]

There are hundreds of methods! Your drum corps will have a specific set of exercises for you to play during a warm up.

[@HornlineFanatic]

casey huddleston Many methods indeed. For me, the main rule is to do what is comfortable. As with the gym, I try to work toward a good burn in the muscles without hurting myself. I usually do loads of long/low/soft tones. I make sure I'm warming up the entire instrument (playing in keys that make extensive use of all 3 valves). I also take frequent breaks to break up the monotony (and maybe go play some piano or bass guitar for 15 minutes). I write/improvise quite a bit of my warmups, but my faster runs are based on what I learned from H. L. Clarke's *Technical Studies for Cornet*. Gotta thank that book for anything technical I can play.

I could listen to warm-ups and go home happy.

[@keemez]

The 'Coats are unbelievably strong this year. Their show is spectacular!

[@HornlineFanatic]

After hearing their 2013 hornline (link in description), I knew I had to catch them again this year. It’s hard to describe how this sounded in person, other than amazing and unreal…like sorcery.

[@RDawg007]

Who gives this a thumbs down. I'm a drummer and this is awesome

[@HornlineFanatic]

RDawg007 Clearly Statler and Waldorf: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iXyZhYmnl9h-jM0 I swear they sit behind me at every DCI and DCA show I attend.

[@RDawg007]

I mean I enjoy Corps as a whole. Every Corps no matter how big or small should get the same amount of respect.

[@HornlineFanatic]

RDawg007 Honestly, it's KZbin. Even videos of people rescuing babies will get thumbs down :)

[@RDawg007]

Yeah you're right

[@timothyalexanderlewis]

woodwind players

[@JPitt1070]

I love how they play the opener with low dynamics and then play it beautifully loud afterwards

[@patrickfoit8261]

And they play it down an octave too

[@theirishasian9473]

I just love how the Cadets drumline is just playing in the background lol

[@papasquat5549]

I like how the opener is played soft then loud, I skipped to the loud part unknowingly and was like dayum

[@Ronnie99104]

I can listen to them for 12 hours straight and still be amazed

[@clarkbolding5161]

I'm a drummer, but I must say screw the drumline in this instance haha

[@RussainPerson]

Them 8's in the background though...

[@AlphaZarge14]

[@chaser12128]

[@Joselrcblkops]

Great video! What do you use to record such good audio quality!? Apps, or any mics in specific ?

[@josephboksa1028]

BLOOOOO

[@nicholasturo-shields6477]

The best 23 seconds of my life started at 0:10

[@jessicahourani5024]

[@mickeydoyle8193]

Thanks for the video!

[@HornlineFanatic]

My pleasure! So glad I was able to find where they were warming up! I had never heard White Dawn before this.

[@dcibrass]

100,000 views is WOW ! but 600 Likes , all I can say are well deserved !!!

[@HornlineFanatic]

This white dawn warmup is one of the most amazing musical sounds I've ever heard.

[@jordancampos6864]

You know you’re in control of a MONSTER hornline when you drown out the percussion in the background...

[@VictorTromboneLessons]

Epic.

[@justinv9413]

yes

[@Barisax3113]

Hi! Thank you so much for recording this! By any chance, could you tell me what you used to record the hornline? I am trying to record my own mello playing and im having a hard time finding a recording device where the mic doesn't get overblown. Thanks again!

[@HornlineFanatic]

Barisax3113 Thanks for watching! I believe it is a common misconception that the microphone itself is the limiting factor in recording loud sounds. In my experience, clipping/ distortion/ saturation (whatever you want to call it) is usually the result of the audio input level being set way too high. What devices/apps have you tried recording with, and do they permit you adjust the audio input level?

[@Barisax3113]

HornlineFanatic I use a spare camcorder that I have around the house. I also don't have an I phone. I use an android hahaha. There are specific apps for high quality recording?

[@HornlineFanatic]

Barisax3113 Try RecForge Lite. It's the free version of the app with recording time limits, but the limits supposedly don't apply if you record in WAV format, which is the highest quality anyway. Just make sure to disable AGC (Automatic Gain Control). Manually set the gain as low as possible. Then start playing your horn loudly, less than a foot from it...and slowly dial up the gain until you find the sweet spot where it's loud, but not clipping (often shown by red peaks on a meter). Then dial the gain back a tad to give yourself some leeway--and you should be good to record!

[@Alex-yu4fl]

At 0:55 is easily my favorite part!

[@Ronnie99104]

Spyception I can see why lol

[@tefrumpzax]

What does one have to do to get this one on one with the bands for warm ups?

[@Newlolz989]

Go to a dci show in your area and walk around the stadium before the show starts. There will be hornlines warming up and the top hornlines will be warming up later in the night. So you either have 2 choices in a dci show, watch the lot or the shows.

[@edalrymple]

omg!

[@talonwhite694]

Who are the ten thumbs-downs? Why are they so hard to please?

[@bachstrad1994]

What the hell this is the warmup?!

[@alexpwatkins]

what was that chorale in the beginning

[@HornlineFanatic]

Alex Watkins I believe it is White Dawn. Maybe I should add that to the description.

[@alexpwatkins]

It was beautiful.

[@XxprefreshxX]

Mellaphone a 👌

[@210Driver]
