Aaron Laughlin I found it a couple weeks ago, but thanks 💯

[@megaevolved.]

Vee 10 blue devils got a perfect 20 back in 04

[@stale56]

The high brass line is incredible, but I think the low brass deserves special recognition here. Everybody expects high brass to have the crazy-ass runs and sixteenth note -triplet passages. High brass did an fantastic job delivering, but the low brass did, too. Those are some phenomenally difficult and insane runs for low brass to execute, and they definitely delievered

[@SphericalCheese]

Yes. Especially at 1:34 where they had to do three notes per beat at an insanely fast bpm

[@hmythical9947]

​@@SphericalCheese you mean triplets?

[@madpistol]

0:21 the balance and blend is absolutely spot on. I have never heard a Brass Line that tight in DCI history.

@@rickpantoja2773 very true

[@ashonic9685]

@@rickpantoja2773 the way i like to think of it is the skill level within the competitive program. If Carolina Crown marched some scored local high school circuit they’d get perfect in everything because of how skilled they are compared to the rest of the high schools. It’s all about comparison, not perfection.

[@Mrtellitlikeitis]

A perfect score. That’s believable. But thats how band corps is. Just a bunch of fa las running on the field playing shit

[@marvinvalarezo]

This is by far one of THE best hornlines in DCI history. Fantastic footage!

[@RevanPorkins]

Marvin Valarezo I honestly would say THE BEST my family has been involved In corps since the 70s this is just too good.

[@Chrishickie1978]

The clarity and articulation shown throughout this line makes this video stunning. Granted they aren't moving/marching but they actually sound this clean on the move. I have been a member of 3 Top 10 hornlines and have followed this activity for about 20 years and this is probably the best hornline I have ever heard.

[@TrumpetBrony]

which hornlines? curious.

[@dctrbrass]

Better than the 95 Scouts hornline....this is a great one.

[@tylersage9566]

Those of you arguing about perfect scores clearly don't understand the judging system. First and foremost, the goal is to compare the scores to the other performing corps. As such, such score comparisons from year to year are useless at best. A perfect one year could be a 19.4 another, due to corps placement, spread usage, and many other factors. As a member of Crown from '10-12, I would say the most impressive thing we did was win best brass while performing 4th from the end in 2011. And we still can't believe the quality coming from the 2013 brassline!

[@cheddarthief]

I marched 1993 with the Harloff brothers and we thought we were pretty damn good as a horn line. Hell, we were the best for our time IMO. We couldn't hold a candle to Crown's line. Granted, we used G horns which are harder to hold in tune than Bb horns, but damn!! I get goosebumps each time I hear these performers.

[@RussellKasem]

As an alum of the Crown organization, I can't even begin to tell you how big of a compliment this is. That being said, if I were in the 2013 corps, Im sure the only thing I'd be playing were the sustains. That book is insane.

[@jesuspectre9883]

The 2014 show was so whimsical, it almost lacked gravitas. The arrangement was so playful, with nuances of The Jetsons and other kitsch Sci Fi references that it almost lost depth. The hornline's power exceeded the breadth of the arrangement. The Welcome Home ending was a bit saccharine and G rated. I would have changed the ending to be a bit more hard-edged with some kind of bump of sobriety, just for depth and variety-- the hornline was completely capable of a powerhouse ending. The next year, of course, they took that criticism, and went all the way in the opposite direction with Inferno, based on the darkest and deepest classic ever.

Jesu Spectre Aren't you referring to Crown's 2014 program?

Not exactly, in Finals, they scored a 19.8 in Brass in 2004. Close to perfect, the perfect score is 20

[@Reedisyograndpappy]

Madison 1974 actually got a perfect brass GE score from what I just read, and Crown pulled off a 100 in brass GE and music brass, so it sounds like you also could use some research

[@ImVee10]

Reed Parker Madison did NOT get a perfect score. In 1974, DCI scored on the tick system where tenths were deducted for error. They were 1.9 points from perfect.
