DCI 2011 Cavaliers Split Marimba Runs

2011 Cavaliers running the split marimba runs in the lot on World Championship Semi-Finals

[@aaaqui__9761]

they're so fucking clean i didnt know the rest of the pit was playing to lmao

[@PVHSDrumline]

2:28: pans back and I have to laugh at myself - I thought it was one marimba up to that point.

[@jacksonweinberg3544]

Yup

[@lightningmcqueenfanpage4103]

And that is what we call clean

[@guitarvibe75]

So for like the first 2 minutes i was like "wow, those two guys are really good", and then they zoom and to show the whole freakin pit doing the exact same thing. Jeez that's amazing.

[@vidviewer92]

Just when you think it can't get any cooler, the drum set player drops a back beat. So good.

[@Irishpineapple97]

they are so clean i first thought it was only one marimba

[@SilverTheFlame]

You see that thing on the floor down there?! Yeah, that's my jaw.

[@evedonatelli]

At first you're wondering why that first guy looks like he's gonna murder someone... then you realize they've probably done dozens of reps... I get so bored in pit sometimes 😂

[@PastaMusician]

Emory Blake actually it does get boring because waiting to play those notes isn't exciting

[@danielleformica3657]

Emory Blake in my show i have nothing more than two bars rest and it gets so boring some times. your instructor has said one more rep about 50 times and by that point your so done you imagine the keys as their face

[@matthewharrison430]

If it makes you feel better my tenor part wasn't all that lol

[@atomicmark9612]

Eve but pit is where its at

[@hawrnball]

He just looks so done with this section. But then I remember making similar faces in my day having to rehearse the same damn licks over and over again.

[@rimenuir910]

The drum set groove is great

[@Kamiisdead]

the guy that plays first is my band teacher now he's 25

[@jocelynbolivar2276]

UpWards 150 i also have a band teacher that was in there but you can barely see him, he's all the way on the other end

[@noahgormanmusic1843]

My BD is 29 now but he was hired here right out of college (when he was 22)

[@noahgormanmusic1843]

Caleb we always make MCBA states and often get I's at festival. He's the director of all the high school bands plus half of the middle school bands in the district (this also means he's in charge of marching band which is competitive, jazz band, and pit for musicals)

[@noahgormanmusic1843]

Caleb The HS only has three actual classes for band. MB, jazz, and pit are after school. He does HS in the morning, MS in the afternoon, and coming back to the HS for extra-curriculars after school

[@atlantic_love]

I just showed this to my husband. He's from England. I was never in DCI, really didn't know what it was when I was in high school marching band in Kentucky. Anyway, my husband said "WOW!!!!". I told him "if you ever hear someone say they can play the mirimbas.......", my husband's response was "no, you can't!" (in his English accent) :D

[@kristinatolle3638]

Im also in a high school marching band in Kentucky!!

[@atlantic_love]

@@kristinatolle3638 You don't have to answer if you don't want to, I'm curious what band you're in. Also, ever heard of the VR game called Paradiddle?

[@hturt4]

This reminds me of the physically and musically demanding virtuosic keyboard playing of top corps in the 80s and 90s. Awesome stuff!

[@rikuantu]

Oh trust me those arn't amplified. Yamaha red marimbas are loud as fuck. The tunning is unbelievable. We have one at my high school. And i like to play on it when the other percussionists arn't around.

[@ArchJ17]

Stuff like this makes me regret being a woodwind instrument

[@MilkMuscles]

They look annoyed as fuck lol

[@ScenicAmoeba]

Chad Carden instructor probably said "one more time" about 20 times

[@SassInYourClass]

That’s how it feels at this point in the season. At least 60% of their time rehearsing for the last two or three weeks is just this part. They’re super over it.

[@Thesupman33]

2:43 guy on speaker says "or missle like objects are not allowed. Please return them to your cars." Yeah so hey you know how you were gunna bring a missile in... yeah can you just leave that in your car. kay thanks :)

[@ytbvdshrtnr]

lol

[@chuuswife9076]

There is a reason I would become a man just so I can be in the Cavaliers

[@ems7623]

Fake it until you make it

[@MatthewChovanec-UNT]

@@ems7623 mulan

[@drummersnare6276]

That’s the only reason? Lol

[@Linnehan13]

The only dirt in this lick comes from the initial turn-arounds. Definitely hard to spin your body while coming in together with someone 10 feet away. And I'll just point out that, once again, space is the bane of every percussionist.

[@selinasummers8521]

I'm a pit player, but I love watching these DCI videos :)

[@kyleray_music]

God man. I love them so much.

[@MrRapdragon]

and everyone talks about the bass split...

[@827jordan]

Naw. Everyone talks about the quad break

[@roelwalstra]

Bass splits are much more difficult timing-wise. The timing difficulty for this is routine for a bass drum player. The other stuff is incredibly impressive

[@ELDLtenors]

extremely professional and i love it

[@christopherpinckard176]

This amazing and that speed is midblowing found the sheet music for going to to get me and my friend that plays with me on the marimba to at least attempt this

[@nazar732364]

my teacher gave us homework it was to watch this mr vogt is awesome

[@lolzsdfsdfsdf]

Still watching this in 2024…. This will never not be cool

[@asiankid66]

this is amazing!

[@miliiku]

Oh my goood.. Its amazing!!!!

[@HalloGais]

still amazing

[@henryapapa]

Wow, I thought it was just the first two doing the splits...then there were 8

[@SM-fq3wl]

素晴らしい！！！！

[@2013colorguard]

They are sooo cute!!

[@kylosme]

omg i miss indy. hearing that announcer guy makes me miss dci

[@RCMS74]

and the Fred Sanford Best Percussion Performance Award goes to...

[@BLAZEDRUM]

That is so beast!!!!

[@johnpaddie]

Impressive, to say the very very least.

[@KyleLudwig3]

Get it Randy!

[@thisistides97]

I find that hilarious on several levels.

[@mantistoboggan2599]

I'm a battery kinda guy but damn I love this!!

[@cjcdrums]

Amazing

[@gioplayzz3831]

Is there anyway I can get the sheet music for that duo marimba part in the beggining

[@themeleed]

shows you how in sync they are.

[@atlantic_love]

And super cute, too. Loving those expressions :D

[@pasta_heals]

I'm not a big fan of electronics, but last year (2011) was kind of an over-stimuli year. Hey, the shows were pretty nice last year!

[@jamesw746]

Mind was blown after seeing the rest of the group

[@3ace13]

Anywhere in the world where I would be able to find music for this? A friend and I are interested in attempting this.

[@Tedtastic7]

excellent

[@littledrummerdude27]

@coolcooja yes they are!!

[@ihategoatz]

Is there any way of getting the music for this? I would love to practice it.

[@NOOBS511]

tfw your corp can only afford 1 marimba that year

[@samuelbang2268]

John Esparza They had like 6 that year

[@chrissalazar7650]

Samuel Bang r/wooooooooshhhhh

[@rikuantu]

Oh and dependin on where you hit the key's on the keyboard can really project the sound. And those malets probably had something on them to boost the sound even more. Just science to research..

[@sofiyakolycheva9463]

NICE!

[@PoonKung43]

สุดยอดมาก

[@hoghedge808]

That's pretty fucking cool

[@GloryOutdoors]

That's fye af 😝😱

[@CorbinDoughty94]

That escalated quickly.. No but yeah, living 10 minutes away from Lucas Oil/RCA Dome for my entire life i'm fairly used to this lol

[@ColorGuardwithTharon]

Those 2 guys were hot, lol. But really, that was pretty darn awesome. I'd be pretty tired after working on the same thing countless times. I know the feeling already, heh.

[@atlantic_love]

Yes, very attractive.

[@trmpt35]

darn it ill have to move my back pack and missile like object party else where

[@jayrod115]

Haha, I thought the same thing when I was in Indy this past summer. xD

[@PlushChronicles]

Lol the left guys is just like "I am not amused" XD

[@HoyaMac]

I can't with this video. Everything about it just. Unf.

[@mrchris33195]

they look so excited...

[@crispyeleven]

I love the smaller guys face a 3:02 and 3:29

[@atlantic_love]

Sexy, isn't he :D

[@missnutellanbiscoff]

whos the guy thats starts off the split?

[@MonarchSings]

SKILLS!!!!

[@vssshadow4353]

is there a way to get sheet music for this

[@RoyaltonDrummer922]

Transcribe it

[@renk1310]

Very cool. That's all.

[@torycrow1]

Muscle Memory

[@hooligans238068]

even the cymbal roll was so tasty!

[@drksdofthmoon]

because its the whole pit playing. You just can't see them.

[@ElijahTurnerEzzoe]

Haha that guys face at the end "What bitch."

[@APMathNerd]

@xAJAxTv Have any idea where I could find it online? Preferably for free haha.

[@bot_jess]

I think they're jim casella series IP1003.

[@Gdog388]

Sick

[@crownbrass07]

This is so much more impressive than all the upside-down nonsense, it's not even funny.

[@fruitloopy346]

does anyone have any idea what mallets they're using for this?

[@pearlsnares3538]

i heard it right as i read this lol

[@CrankDatJonasBoi]

And this just makes me sadder that I'm a girl and can't march Cavies :(

[@superBuffArms]

RANDY!!!

[@cstahl24]

how many times you think they practiced this

[@triedge91]

Anyone know where i can get this sheet music for this part?

[@MrDubkips]

Go to Noteflight and search Cavaliers 2011 Marimba Splits :3

[@khaderach19]

I wonder how much cavies spend on hair gel per season....

[@marimbagirl1993]

So pro haha, reminds me of Stubernic

[@ebuggs212]

Eric!!!

[@RockabillyChaCha]

Randy!! :)

[@AlyssaDewey]

Anyone know what kind of wristbands they use?

[@c_spare]

it says it at 0:53 too!

[@bgandar16]

It's probably because there's like 6-7 Marimbas together.

[@littledrummerdude27]

@jai9599 which, in theory, what a "diddle" is....

[@LilDrummerB0Y]

HOLY SHIT THAT LOOK FROM THE GUY ON THE RIGHT AT THE VERY END..... AAAHHHHHHH

[@bcbandie4ever]

This part distracted me from the upside down tenor break...:)

[@TheDancerboy383]

what kind of mallets are those

[@jevl9369]

*wow*

[@jbalinforever]

the whole time im here thinking its two guys.. and its the entire mallet section -__-

[@gadrummer1904]

No they were not amplified. I just got lucky and found a spot right up front to watch them.

[@MichaelPuterbaugh]

bad design to have this pit feature and the upside-down tenor feature happening at the same time

[@jordancastro4228]

Music?

[@TwF37]

They look so excited.. Lol

[@yunolks3]

@jai9599 sooo. . . diddles. right?

[@zapdotshimmy]

both of the guys are on the left at one point.

[@Bzong]

NCA sacrificed cleanliness for gimmicks and showmanship. yeah I agree, Cavies maintained their standard of quality

[@BpDinn]

Please I want music! Please!!
