DCI 2009 I&E - The Academy - Low Brass Ensemble

[@alexpwatkins]

Carolina Crown: We throw baritones, mellos, and trumpets in the air Academy: We throw contras across the room and balance them like seals

[@Kurteously]

My heart dropped when I saw that contra flying

[@mychannelboyeeeeeeee]

you could say you thought he would drop the bass

[@conradcrawford3716]

Buh dum tssssssss

[@FarginBastiges]

+mr troll face I see what you did there.

[@qnote729]

a guy at my school did that with a sousaphone i shot my pants

[@gabe_8997]

QNote how do you do that with a sousaphone and not break your neck

[@trainliker100]

That was definitely one of those acts that leaves you wanting MORE. Well done. And they made everything looks relaxed and easy.

[@talonwhite694]

How do they throw those JUPITER FREAKIN' CONTRAS around like its nothin'? I MUST KNOW!!!

[@mattavenson7542]

That's exactly what I was thinking!

[@talonwhite694]

Its even more impressive because the contras that they use are jupiters, which are pretty much the heaviest contra that you will find (about 35 pounds)

[@araxshiriau9275]

Look at their builds, they practiced like hell for this

[@JillyInSomnia]

props to the female tubist!

[@Gldwing]

jewtheripper, same here (minus myself being a guy)

[@lukepetrowski]

never would've noticed her if you hadn't said that lol

[@Brittrasetra]

There's actually 2 of us! :)

[@Bee-tc9fs]

I’m the only female tuba in a group of three!

[@thefbi5352]

@@lukepetrowski them not her

[@bloodvein3]

man these guys are good and those tuba tosses are insane.. my section leader would kill me if i tried somethin like that

[@AviDoug]

I thought the guy was about to let go of the tuba after he caught it xD

[@星うさぎ-i3f]

1:42 びっくりしすぎて心臓止まるかと思ったぁ………

[@haleybug1236752]

Now I really want to do this for the marching band talent show with the Contras xD

[@domertor]

Dude thats exactly what I did too. My band director literally said "we need more tubas. Your big wanna join" and I said "why not" true story.

[@damianwayne6690]

1:41 - 1:42 what was that and how do you do that?

[@54321blader]

In case you haven't yet figured out, It sounds like a really over powered downward slide from a high pitch, so just blast air using a high embouchure and relax it; it should naturally slide down like that.

[@Phin_Again]

54321blader some people call it a rip

[@ok-qp3nn]

Job: what's your special talent That guy: I can balance a contra on my chin

[@bandasefanfarrasdabahia4203]

muito bom dando um show

[@thedrangler599]

Who else wet themself when the tuba went in the air?

[@ChAdPlaysBass]

@Mtingey1 No idea, I never got the case that went to my horn. But the serial number on the horn, which was also on the horn contract, has been in commission since 08'

[@thesousabone]

Best 4 minutes on youtube.

[@magicsuperman13]

When they throw the tubas at 1:40 and 3:43 it is both the scariest and most awesome thing i've ever seen. Peter can we try that in the show this year?

[@leroyosmon]

Concerto No. 3 for Tuba and Orchestra by Leroy Osmon (Xalapa Sym Orchestra)

[@Ratio16180]

As a bisexual marching band brass player, I think i'll be watching this again. probably a lot of times.

[@Mtingey1]

@ChAdPlaysBass It just means someone used that number, which is why some of the horns even show who used them before 2008 which the first year with Jupiter horns

[@fi0nne]

asian tubist in marching band, this is SO NICE XD

[@soyasaucexox]

amazing

[@kieltykamary]

yay go Matt! my bro was in this!

[@TenorSaxBug]

That's Amazing!!

[@AZcontra13]

One of my favorite years with the Red Team. Fun I&E. Check out our 2007 one! "Funkafried"

[@crazilyepic11duck]

AZcontra13 what was the first song you played? I couldn't hear what he said clearly

[@jeffersonfernandez5726]

Excelente

[@silkaem]

Cant even lie. That was tight!

[@MAGNAVOXish]

I feel the bass

[@grantgoulson5208]

So that's what they do all day...

[@TubaTron5000]

awewsome

[@Delawren26]

@pottsychhs11 as the person who was doing the catching of these instruments, I didn't get hurt once haha. it certainly was scary to first start practicing though

[@chriscarty109]

O.M.G....I saw this and just about died

[@fosho78901]

luv this :D

[@SirWayngus]

When he threw his contra I literally had a heart attack

[@kdogob]

@bloodvein3 I've marched those exact horns. They are around 30-38 pounds

[@HoyaMac]

This video. Oh my God.

[@goudaboy0017]

i get switched to whatever my director wants. like my primary used to be trumpet then baritone then tuba and now bass trombone.

[@dieselbassohyah1533]

Damn! I'd be nervous tossing my trombone!

[@IceBenny68]

Damned cool performance

[@Duprizus]

Not even joking, when he tossed the contra up into the air, I came in my pants...

[@Duprizus]

Holy shit he balanced the tuba on his face too!

[@TxPballer28]

That's epic.

[@bigtrain96]

this makes me wanna start learning tuba throws... ps is the person that posted the video a tuba player?

[@ChAdPlaysBass]

@mjbasner Well The Academy is sponsored by Jupiter, Mapex, and Majestic, so they get new instruments for free, we just have to give the old ones back.

[@NL1461]

Respect to the contra's!!!

[@98domiko]

Gute Show.

[@mjbasner]

@ChAdPlaysBass That would make for a wonderful sponsor relationship...I had to play on a 6 year old Dynasty contra... at least it was better then the sousaphone that I had to work with in the fall

[@douglasmullen8307]

I would be scared to throw that

[@douglasmullen8307]

One because of that and 2 that's like $3,000-$9,000 haha

[@stoiccroissant8897]

ya but each drum Corp buys new ones every year, and they've been through hell and back

[@ProjectGothum]

IKR ME TOO!

[@isaacdusek9190]

[@cooldude911ful]

[@TheRandomWolf]

[@LesleyBarra]

What's the song called at 3:27

[@Pliskin2894]

Jump On It.

[@XxSpartanGirlxX]

Apache

[@WATSSSSSSUP]

To heavy they said.... to much air they said.....This is the crap that i can prove all those stupid woodwinds with

[@gabe_8997]

They gotta be strong to throw around Quantras like it's nothing

[@ptownbread]

[@kevinbs05]

Lol, real time "Holy Shit's"!

[@林芳君-k1v]

cool!!!

[@ChAdPlaysBass]

The horn that I'm marching for the 2011 season is in this video. :D It's kinda weird when I think about it..... oh well... The Bottom Line

[@siborgstare7077]

"yea tubas!"

[@Gldwing]

is there sheet music anywhere? I really want to play this for a talent show or something.

[@hannalucey7617]

hey i play the tuba xD

[@hunter98dan]

i do to hehe

[@kid6407]

has any body arranged this?

[@sunburst83]

actually I think it's Cream's "Sunshine of Your Love". But the devil hands probably work better with Iron Butterfly = )

[@gustavoluna7493]

Imagine in practice

[@mjbasner]

@Mtingey1 Um, You do realize how expensive it would be to replace instruments every 2 years? A CHEAP tuba runs around $5k.

[@hp9phantom647]

Song at 3:03

[@jakebaker1051]

Sunshine of your love

[@ChAdPlaysBass]

@Mtingey1 Really? on my horn contract it said it was marched in 09'

[@JonathanLonesTv]

trust me, i play trombone and was was switched to tuba for marching season... trombone is alot more fun!!! other than the fnce hats

[@energysage9774]

How much does one of those weigh?

[@earthboundPSI]

i've been playing trombone for 4 years , and i never seen a horn like that , what is it ?

[@owencrawford9077]

A contra tuba

[@ChAdPlaysBass]

@Mtingey1 With the same serial number?

[@jackplink2743]

Anyone know what they were playing?

[@BRMusic404]

That person on the gong won

[@mobilelegendbangbangbest9545]

Wow Good

[@Duprizus]

Holy shit he tossed another contra!

[@alexpwatkins]

[@Realistnels1]

[@Mtingey1]

@ChAdPlaysBass same case number

[@amichaelnorden9835]

What did they play

[@feraltrafficcone4483]

All tubas? Besides that gong....

[@ericsorenson4535]

what did they place?

[@blueregiment]

haha the funny thing is that I played trombone for marching season then got switched to tuba. Tuba is way more fun than trombone.

[@faridtio]

In the marching. I had a brass section. And i'm baritone player.

[@loveyouseason]

what's song?

[@Quarterpounderspatch]

music?

[@Mtingey1]

@ChAdPlaysBass no its not. we get new horns every two years

[@bloodvein3]

[@bloodvein3]

[@bricekennedy6306]

[@manuelrivera6632]

Ricardo nilos

[@johnythanj]

This line represents all contra players in america, and how weird we all are

[@owencrawford9077]

Sadly we cant have contras, so my college has sousaphones but we have the energy of contra players

[@alexcampbell2818]

[@k9theace24]

[@crazilyepic11duck]

K9 The Ace OMG ITS K9 THE ACE IM YOUR BIGGEST FAN!!!!

[@k9theace24]

[@gemomaz44]
