Absolute CHAD of a conductor. He could summon this sound from a field of rocks if it pleased him.

[@tangoxraysierra]

Carolina emerged from nowhere some recent years ago; the assumption is that this director contributed to that. Carolina’s tuning up sequence is remarkable; the most impressive chorale I’ve heard. Terd rat adolescents will then lob hateful, diminishing comments; threatened by anything of quality not involving them. The director is not a Chad; he clearly cares deeply for this; sacrificing his adult summer for this.

[@SweetSpotGuitar]

At roughly 1:01, the middle voices (at this point, the highest voice) do a major third over the bass, and there are virtually no beats, which means they're pushing that third down a good 16 cents. WOW. HUGE sound, nearly perfect intonation. The perfect prescription for goosebumps? Some killer DCI brass.

[@AOSMAKAKMS]

Technically trumpet was still the highest voice

[@bennourie3377]

isn’t it 14 cents?

[@M.A.J.H]

What’s a beat in this context?

[@killstrees]

​@@M.A.J.H it's referring to the difference in the notes when comparing how in or out of tune the horns are. Say two horn players are playing middle C, which is roughly 262hz. One horn is a little sharp, at 266hz, the other is slightly flat at say 259hz. This is close enough that you will hear a "wave" or "beat" in the sound these two horns create. As they get closer to each other as they tune their instrument, the "wave" will slow down until they reach the frequency of 262hz, middle C.

[@M.A.J.H]

@@killstrees Thanks very much. That was a brilliant explanation.

It’s such a great feeling.💯💯💯 When I marched Bluecoats I remember we had one cutoff at a certain practice field that you could hear the wall of sound ricochet off the mountains in the distance about 2-3 seconds after the cutoff. Sorry to ramble but I remember that same season with Blooo we had to march a parade in Massachusetts I believe , that went by some frat houses. All the drunk college kids were cheering for a little marching band they thought. Drum major stopped us in front of the house. We turned to face them and blasted them with the wall of sound. All their faces melted, It was such close proximity. 😂😂😂

Hell, this is a warm up and it's got me in tears. Massive respect to everyone putting their lives into music as good as this.

Crown's tuning has always been remarkable

[@iandyer1551]

because they rely a lot on easy-to-tune open Bb5 chords that are perceived as louder than clusters or full-value chords because there's no tonal interference by other notes in the chord.

+Dalton Hayden did my comment get removed lol

[@ins0858]

Ian Dyer what's the difference between tonal resonance and tonal interference? Curious if it differs from my knowledge

[@iandyer1551]

+Bruhh resonance is related to aligning the overtone series and intonation. The harmonic series allows the sound waves to be perceived louder. Interference does the opposite, and decreases the overall amplitude and perceived loudness.

Kempsville High School, Virginia Beach, VA, 1995 (Freshman year). William E. Pease was the Director of Bands and the visionary behind the award-winning Marching Chiefs. The guy was hard on me, as he was all of us. I couldn't catch a break and I was a terrible musician. He rode my back all year long and saw something I didn't know was there. Before leaving the school at the end of my first year of high school, Mr. Pease transferred me to percussion. I'm a drummer to this day. The lessons this tyrant of a genius shared will be with me for the rest of my life. As for Mr. Pease? He went on to be known as Dr. Bill Pease, Director of Bands at the University of Virginia.

[@OhioGolfAddict]

Check out some of the mello lines in the 90s, particularly Cadets and Star of Indiana. You won't be disappointed.

[@OhioGolfAddict]

I marched '97-'03 with the Kiwanis Kavaliers before the amplification. I could never really get into the shows pre 90s. Too far into the 80s and it starts to get really really repetitive for me. One the of loudest hornlines I've ever heard was BD '98. They were louder playing backfield than some of the corps playing front. One of the most impressive things I've heard was SCVs hornline singing Adagio for Strings in warmup before finals in 2000(singing through their ballad). They were spot on. Overtones were crazy.

Little did I know that they would just absolutely drop the hammer, it left me speechless. And ever since then I’ve been in love with DCI.

[@mercilpb]

Jon Williams I mean, you get get all technical about it, but they're still plugging their ears because it's so fucking loud they can't hear shit otherwise

[@Speakzzz]

Peter mercil Well let me explain the science. Your ears act as drums. Meaning they vibrate when sound happens. If there is something loud, for instance a marching band, it vibrates to a certain extent that you just can't hear clarity in articulation, tone, or tuning. When you plug your ears, your adding pressure to stop the vibration, allowing the back of your ears to absorb the minor details they're looking for. Katie and Evan Vandoren have been with crown for years, I'm pretty certain they're not plugging their ears because it hurts them
