Do it for Float Devs!

4:48 big respect for them doing the SCV visual

[@mel-px7hl]

The two corps have always had a camaraderie. Hell, they shared an anniversary gala in 2017.

[@spellingchampeon]

By my eyes that is not the scv visual. The scv visual is SCV in sign language

[@OT3S]

@@spellingchampeon that's exactly what they're doing...

[@rygregory]

As a Bay Area DCI fan, I’ve always loved these two corps’ friendship. ❤

wow last years tenor line was sick this one is even better!

[@5hark906]

I wonder if bd will keep it as a drum line tradition that'd be really cool

[@tdubasdfg]

New intro sequence 🔥🔥🔥🔥🤘🏾 These guys are already a lot cleaner compared to early footage a week or two ago🤯

[@thenelsonbruhs722]

I predict this Drumline will become a part of the “best Drumline ever” debate by the time they’re finals clean. My vote still goes to phantom 2010 though

[@daskrete]

1:01 , cool drill and even cooler snare break. RCC outdoor is sounding really fucking good this year 😂

The right stick visual 👏

[@dadecountydevonhapner]

just when you think you got drums figured out this year BD comes in like this 😭

[@TopDrumCorps]

They come in dirtier than everybody else

[@dadecountydevonhapner]

@@TopDrumCorps they haven’t won drums in a while mostly bc of their inconsistency in the bassline. The basses this year are a lot better. Remember coats won drums when everybody thought Boston would. I have a feeling it’s gonna be a similar situation.

[@DrumlineArchives]

This is the cleanest I have heard BD out the gate in a long time.

[@TopDrumCorps]

@@dadecountydevonhapner I didn’t think Boston would win drums despite how awesome they were. Knew it was SCV or Coats. You saying they haven’t won drums mostly because of their basses is silly. It’s the writing. Devs aren’t musical. It sounds like hacking. Their pit is fantastic but their drum books lack musicality and their line lacks true cleanliness until the last Big 3 comps. Props to them playing this hard of a book though. All I’m saying is, it’s not writing that wins unless it’s absolutely perfect

4:16 CLEAN

[@diallogordon]

This years line could play games or play notes and I don’t see any fucking monopoly.

[@tadbarnes1499]

Always bringing the heat 🔥

[@SS2Balls]

the snare line is like exactly the same as last year but with like 2 or 3 roc people

[@Behundagut]

The most notes BD has played in A WHILE! It will be interesting to see if they can get clean by Finals.

2:20 feels very much like a blue devils drum break, it will sound even better come regionals.

3:13 The Broken City Effect

[@PayneKrunk]

literally was about to comment something similar as soon as I heard that then I saw your comment lol

[@Creolelite]

I have a theory, Devs have their line set for the new season the month before finals and they practice together!!!!

[@supergirlsmg]

Good theory but not what happened. My son is in Q5 this year, and his place wasn't set until after second round of try-outs, which I think was December. First weekend camp was (I think) January. (Not sure if you were just having fun or being serious, but thought I'd offer our experience on the chance you were curious about how their process goes).

[@ARZiehm]

What she said ^ They've done it the same for years - Initial auditions in December, callbacks in January where they set the line. First full ensemble camp is in April after Winter season dies down. From there, all days and tour.

[@jhilbertdrums]

Is this BD A or B?

[@poisonhill22]

This is BD C

[@christopherdeftones2878]

Its cringe when they count time with their voices so dramatically loud, very nerdy.

[@newhyperspace43]

guessing you’ve never been on a line before

[@christopherdeftones2878]

@@newhyperspace43 I was on the tenor line for winter drumline from freshman to junior year in high school. Senior year I dropped out of marching band all together and instead played drum set for jazz bands, black metal bands, powerviolence bands, metallic hardcore bands, salsa bands, and guitar for various other bands. Yet still, myself and the rest of us in drumline never went "Gak gAk GaK GAK" smh. If you have to be this loud to count time, your not practicing correctly.

[@newhyperspace43]

@@christopherdeftones2878 alright put yourself on a dci field perform one of these shows and tell me if you can even remotely keep time or attack together as a line, this isn’t for cool dramatics and theatrics they do it to mesh as a line. Who cares how it sounds that’s not the purpose it serves literally, every single line in the world does this no clue how you’re just figuring out about it. Plus you’re watching a band video and calling it nerdy how ironic 😂😂 every single person in this hobby is a nerd bro
