Carolina Crown 2017 - Inner Circle Little Fugue in G minor

Inner circle at Western Carolina University's 2017 Summer Symposium - 07/12/2017

[@brianbaker2759]

Some of those kids listening have no idea that the sounds they are hearing may never be topped in their lifetime....360 deg surround sound, sheer power and volume, amazing harmonies.

[@chrisrichards1424]

They just don't know. And the ppl listening on KZbin have ZERO idea what this is really like. One of those must do in your lifetime that nothing can compare

[@sotokudoge5527]

@@chrisrichards1424 i do, i play this song as the first trombone with a quartet of another trombone and 2 tubas and its a legendary sound!

[@amosnessim281]

​@@chrisrichards1424they are all band geeks, buddy. You can hear the drums practicing in the background. This is band camp, or the summer before a college school year. You can see a few know the piece and the expecting the next note.

[@JamesBond-gn3vf]

​@@amosnessim281this video is from western Carolina summer symposium camp, where they have camps for winds, drumline, and drum majors. I did the drum major camp this past summer and it was one of the best things I could have done.

Amen.

[@onegroove91]

right at 0:56 , it sounds like an organ .. chills!

[@paulholguin8255]

@@onegroove91You damn right. I felt it when I had headphones in.

[@benpowell5348]

I think I figured out one reason they sound so amazing: in this video, once they hit the big chords really loud, you can hear a ton of overtones that they aren't playing that almost sound like a flute or impossibly high trumpet. They're playing so in tune and so efficiently that they effectively flesh out the orchestration without actually having those sounds, and it makes it way more engaging and immersive

[@onegroove91]

My first reaction when I heard the big chords was immediately, "Is that an organ?" CHILLLLSSSSSS

[@coolmarchingrecipies]

That is pretty much right

[@loganfowler7417]

Not just overtones but that freaking subharmonic at 0:59. Like what kind of acoustic voodoo are they doing to make an unplayed note rumble like that? Jeez!

[@i_cam]

@@loganfowler7417 i imagine there's some pedal Eb action going on as well, but these are all 3 valves so they're either kicking out like crazy, lipping down a ton or most likely just faking the partial. either way, insanely impressive

[@onegroove91]

Literally sounds like an organ in a church!

[@keemez]

they ain't conras. they're tubas.

[@gwreevesReeves]

​@@keemezHave you marched DCI? They're called contras.

as a matter of fact I did; WHEN THEY ACTUALLY HAD CONTRAS, tyvm.

A little bit of Toccato and Fugue there at the end too. Pretty cool. I also like how that one lady jumped when the low brass came in. That was kinda funny.

[@Last_Survivor593]

I can't tell super well but it almost sounds like an overtone, not an actual note being played

[@jonathancastro5309]

@@Last_Survivor593 not totally sure which overtone you're hearing, but they definitely hit a real E6 (concert D6)

[@GageForceMusic]

@@jonathancastro5309 and then theres a G above that!! wild!!!!

[@voiceofreason9238]

It's also not just about the music. You can feel the music in your chest cavity and thanks to the tubas, the ground you're sitting on vibrates. It's incredible, get inside a horn circle if you ever get the chance. I run a high-power 13 speaker surround sound system with four subwoofers designed specifically to reproduce the drum corps sound. It doesn't come close to hearing the real thing.

[@seabassmcbigfat]

I’m dying happy after hearing this through headphones. Would give my step off foot for a chance to have been in the center of that circle absorbing full volume.

0:59 Drop the bass

[@brodybergstrom8335]

Blue's Clues for Fools do you happen to know that bottom note at 0:59? I'm hearing the top Eb in the first tubas but I can't tell what the note the seconds have. All I hear is a pedal Eb but that's impossible without 4 valves

[@kittupas7555]

brody bergstrom you can do pedal Eb on 3-valve, it's the partial below low Bb

[@ariodoesgaming199]

The two tubas in my band who marched crown this year said it was an Eb in the seconds (normal Eb) and a tuning Bb in the top split. The low note coming out is the overtone from how well they tuned the notes and blended as a section.

[@seabass3257]

@@ariodoesgaming199 no fucking way
