At first I thought he said stop crying, I get pissed off when you cry, cracking makes a lot more sense

Floyd Schelby Thanks.

[@hleth4888]

band students have better sense of pitch and such. We actually sung a lullaby my freshman year.

[@JackNelsonBand]

Overtones on a 9th chord while singing. Alright

[@wise_up_dems.]

I STILL think this was the most technically proficient hornline EVER in DCI. Their attacks were razor sharp no matter what they played and those runs were smooth as silk. THIS is and will always be the GOLD STANDARD for DCI brass.

[@videosmith1000]

Even in my prime I was lousy at triple tonguing. This line is outstanding. Great balance with enough low brass, and the sopranos have the modesty to keep the balance - contributing to best effect.

[@CSRookie]

I think it's a tie between them and '94 devils, imo

[@I.AM.ON.MY.WAY.]

@@CSRookieI’ll have to give them a listen, also I can share a google drive link that has shows from 1974 - 2019 in it if you want, it’s broken down by season from first place down

Best horn line of all time right here folks.

I could never disagree with that personally I thought crown should've won this year

[@eyo31abe]

it was their show, especially compared to bluecoats. They just have great performance skill.

[@CFLsurfr]

Phantom is my fav. overall. But they all change year from year. CC is pretty damn good here

GOOD.

[@ashtonmarie5499]

YAS.

[@dirkpitt8895]

We were told to not hear the tubas but to feel them.

[@pianoboy3317]

you hear the tubas so well because of how they are positioned...they are spaced out

[@GeneralN0va]

Contras, but yes you can

[@jonathanshier2511]

I'm a huge BD fan, but I have to admit, this is insane. They could never achieve this awesome brass sound.

[@notvideosofothercorps6652]

theres a reason Crown always gets the brass caption

[@MikeReppucci]

Crown is the only corps that still resembles a G bugle hornline. Their orchestration is so warm and powerful.

[@lukeconners31]

Hey Shier

Thanks

Luke Conners k thx

Matt Harloff has this energy that astounds me. He has the kind of constructive criticism that inspires and inflicts a drive to be better and do whatever it takes to be a champion

[@bleach101able]

only reason why I regret choosing an woodwind :l

you can change your instrument and move to brass ya know

7:05 is just amazing. I've listened to this probably a thousand times.. it never gets old!

[@kelvinchau1]

How about this show never gets old?

[@JoshuaLeyda]

It doesn't lol. I've watched and pretty much memorized every note, chord, and visual of this show!

[@kelvinchau1]

When I listen to the drumline warmup, I literally know where are they playing. This show is amazing.

[@JoshuaLeyda]

I am a hornline freak lol. But as much as i've listened to the show I could probably pick it out lol

[@floydschelby2865]

7:05 is pretty rad, and follow it up with 7:33. Wow, my heart belongs to BD, but this line is SICK!!

[@corryknight360]

Most amazing horn line ever

[@MaroonMan08]

Harloff got me a little pumped up with his motivation speech 9:41

[@briwhite1606]

my band director made us watch this to show how intense and serious the band was. and they're intense singing and various reps of the same parts of the show. he emphasized the director yelling feet over and over again so they would remember to mark time

[@ineedanap8300]

akatsukibri I march drum Corp and I don't have a problem with this but for your own safety I suggest you never call a drum Corp a band

[@estonhensley3684]

Gabe Trotter idk there is no resembelence of the old military style so "Corp" really isn't too fitting anymore

[@BandNerdcp]

I've been a huge DCI fan since my freshman year of high school (6 years ago) and I still hate when people are elitist about calling them bands. A drum corps is a type of band, it really isn't debatable.

[@estonhensley3684]

BandNerdcp ya I understand, I was a fan my freshmen year, now I'm a sophomore and got a contract for the troopers, goal for the next few days is crown

[@matthewharris237]

Eston Hensley it’s fine that it’s gotten different throughout the years but there is absolutely no point in arguing that the work put in by every corps isn’t far above almost any “band” you will find. Corps is not just a “military term for the old days”, it’s the distinction between the next level of marching and performance.

[@chriskanemeier]

Almost makes me sad I aged out in 2011. Damn near perfectly ballenced hornline, I was always taught the line's sound emanates from the contras, so I feel maybe a touch more volume from those guys and the euphs would enrich the sound. But as I said, that's just how the corps I were in were taught, this sound is spectacular regardless of what I think.

[@cameronstevens3813]

I’m assuming you were in rach star so did you know a contra named David?

[@Blackstarre2]

At 7:06 I am just done. It is so perfect that nothing I have ever heard before can compete with it.

[@billiswillis4087]

1:59 That's some supernatural brass arrangement sounds honestly.

[@bush_boi_bass_bone]

7:21 Talk about a PERFECT fifth!

[@NatesCoolDSReviews]

Maybe that's a big reason of why Crown's hornline is so good. Their brass ensemble leader guy person is so enthusiastic, and maybe his enthusiasm is contagious.

[@macerunner4674]

honestly yeah probably

[@Dynam1cDr3w]

gotta love those little clicks in unison when the horns snap up :P

[@Altoclarinets]

I really appreciate instrumentalists who understand that singing helps them play their instrument better. This group clearly gets that!

[@GSIZZLE88]

I was there at this warmup. Best release of a tuning sequence I’ve ever heard, probably ever will.

[@thatbandgirl2535]

Cries because my marching band is dirt compared to this

[@AviDoug]

XxTrumpetCheerxX I think everyones HS marching band is dirt to this. xD

[@thatbandgirl2535]

Lol true story I guess

[@Phostings1]

XxTrumpetCheerxX Yeah my band was dirt for a while, but we got a new band director before I graduated and he changed the whole band around. It really depends on your director. This is true :)

[@AllTheElephants]

Phostings1 My band director has been teaching at my school for 31 years, but he's more of a southern style/jazz kind of guy. Honestly I think my high school band could benefit from a teacher who has more of a corps background.

[@thatbandgirl2535]

+Phostings1 well we got 3rd states for 2A so I guess we're not that bad, were the top 5 2A bands in Florida :)
