2012 Crossmen - Earthsong

The Crossmen perform a run-through of their riveting opener "Earthsong" in Biglerville, Pennsylvania. This has been a fan favorite all season!

[@mrfryboy101]

This video is the reason why I started learning trumpet. It's also the reason why I want to join Crossmen and do Drum Corps in general.

I had to have listened to this like at least 20 times. This video has made me strive to be a better trumpet player and just want to be that lead playing the solo.

[@labber7772]

Bob Sagit I’ve listened to the intro almost every day

[@tinytim7950]

That year, the Crossmen stayed at my school and practiced their marching show. The year before Pacific Crest had stayed there, and this year the Cavaliers stayed.

[@motherofcriticals]

All we get is blue devils, every year, tired of them

[@clone4987]

+josh kemp how can you get tired of the blue devils?

[@motherofcriticals]

Idk maybe I am tired of the extreme dissonance without resolution. Maybe im tired of the same people winning every year even though there are better corps. Maybe I just dont like the name, why cant it be indigo devils, or slightly green devils.

[@trentwalker6107]

+josh kemp you my good sir make a very valid point *cough cough* Bluecoats should've won 2014

[@DavidHernandez-fh3uc]

Hey man what school do you go to?

[@TheTubaCow]

stuck in my head all day xD

[@MrFluffyVG]

GOD THAT TRUMPET SOLO GIVES ME THE GOOSEBUMPS EVERYTIME!! I love Crossmen!

[@AirbrushingtipsNet]

Woke up with this in my head this morning.

[@midknightWRS]

The other day I was humming this while walking down to band class and at least 10 people either said “hey that’s earth song” or they started humming it too. I love the way this song sounds and how well the entire core played this year.

[@danielwdunn]

Still one of the best openers in DCI history.

[@MatthewStripling]

It blows me away how he can play that high and loud at the same time

[@brzbari]

[@TheMarcus409]

www.crossmen.org/page25277926

[@dudewowlmao]

what are the notes for the trumpet solo

[@cmlyman1]

Wrong again :) I used a Curry 50S, great for lead players as well. lol

[@sebastianalvarez7360]

What kind of mouthpiece is he using? Any answers?

[@TU84Glue]

@Aggro Swifty. Collins?

[@pukkapad2011]

i was actually visually distracted by those.

[@lorenzojsb]

the one you think that play the finest. at my band they learn it on a 3c. but i'm using a 1 1/4. you should check them out.

[@ItsSwattyV2]

Learning, id say a 7c mate :p thats the standard mouthpiece

[@joshuabozeman7890]

At 1:14 no microphone dang

[@Jamiewaltjr]

Joshua Park he had no mic in competition either

[@ItsSwattyV2]

Figure it out :D if you need a hint ill give you one, but only the starting note lol. its not that long and you could easily try it down the octave when figuring it out :p Good luck :D

[@MrCodymac32]

MMMM That colorguard girl at the end though. fiiine

[@jacobedwards6495]

anyway i can find the trumpet solo music

[@luisc2958]

Its on google put crossmen solo earthsong

[@santiago09aguilar]

Go to musescore and put Crossmen 2012. It has the full score for earthsong

[@Anders359]

Blaise bowman has a transcription here on outline

[@_ve0]

Little bit sharp, isn’t it?

[@Dum11567]

It's just a 3C

[@Yugioh_Flo]

If only zach played that solo :/

[@pukkapad2011]

brilliant but the song is too short. half way of eargasm :(

[@banksnussman6017]

imagine if all of these sleeper lead players were in bd! Speaking of which, either modern corssman are getting bad shows or their leads are not what they use to be :(. Bring back 2011-2012 Corssmen!!

[@cmlyman1]

Sorry bud. Not everything you hear is true.
