[@BenGunnarson]

@drumcorpstube this was the best lot of my drum corps career. Thank you so much for being a part of it and for helping me retain this memory forever. No matter what any corps staff or copyright lawyers say, your effort to film this activity is what inspires so many to become a part of it. Six words bud.

[@the0elite]

You keep up being real man, you're a huge idol to Alot of people

[@HIME5SENTZ]

Who hits that first G (somewhere around the 11th bar) in the page 34-39 excerpt? Based on the headcams of you and Dan, it's not either of you two which is surprising. That first G was absolute money, props to whoever did it. Chills for days

[@BenGunnarson]

MainCut Media those are f#s. We are playing in B minor

[@HIME5SENTZ]

My mistake, guess I shouldn't have just assumed :P Regardless of the note, it was money

[@maxwellosborn9990]

MainCut Media lol I was about to say F# but Ben beat me to it :P Two months ago

[@bandnerd6272]

I want to be as strong as his shirt button.

[@reffymaghriza2486]

Lol

[@cork2255]

That Eb sharp 11 into the D Major though...

[@dlennertzdl]

cork2255 I replayed that part probably 20 times. OHHH MY GODDDD

[@PAFrogBoy]

so THATS what he was saying haha blablbelblahsrp into the d major~

Lol the guy in the blue flannel sitting down gave the black shirts guy the nod after that

[@avipotato]

Crazy shit

[@jameskihiu1078]

AT 4:43 WAS DUDE ON THE LEFT JUST CASUALLY CIRCULAR BREATHING ON A CONTRA?

[@carlenger9707]

So

[@xaviercross3285]

The bari tech at my corps would tell stories about a tuba player from blue coats, circular breathing for the entire ballad. I think this was in the 2013 season.

Xavier Cross Jamie

[@xaviercross3285]

adam taylor I think so, It might have been Ben.

[@gws86]

Excellent mic quality. That's the 1 thing 99% of these vids lack ... great clarity throughout the spectrum. On the topic at hand ... my God in heaven...

[@Shawnguitarguy]

With a decent pair of headphones you can hear the echo of the Eb #11 to D major for a solid three seconds after the release. Lawd I can't wait to audition in three weeks.

[@chaser22081]

Shawnguitarguy how'd it go?!

[@bread_girl_jane]

i know i’m 4 years late but did you ever make it?

[@mikeyeyey8678]

@@chaser22081 judging by the fact his name is “Shawnguitarguy” i think its safe to assume he moved onto another instrument

[@maxwellosborn9990]

So sad I only learned about drum corps AFTER the season was over. All I've seen so far pertaining to drum corps has been at least a month old. I guess this just means this next season I will be seeing my obsession live for the first time.

[@chaser22081]

Maxwell Osborn I remember doing the same thing in 2014!! It's a great time!

Looks like you made it in somewhere, congrats

I found out on 2010 and went and marched 2 years afterwards So glad I found and got to experience it. dci will forever be in my heart

[@RishiJalukar]

I found out about it in April 2021 lol

[@NickOnFire1490]

106 decibels? thats like standing 3 feet away from a chainsaw. its a miracle these guys aren't all deaf, especially Samuel. damn.

[@Mr_Curtis_Kelley]

trex1490 ear plugs?

[@mikeyeyey8678]

trex1490 I saxophone can easily pull of 96 dB tho. That reading must have been off

[@Stand_Tall]

@@mikeyeyey8678 decibels aren't linear tho, they are exponential

[@NickOnFire1490]

@@Stand_Tall Exactly, 106dB is 10x louder than 96dB also the sound diminishes over distance. I'm sure that having the mic right next to the bell might get into the 90's, but these guys are all 20+ feet away from the mic.

[@cavalier36]

trex1490 Plus, it’s even louder when the chords are in tune. And saxophones are never in tune!!

[@jaredkronenwetter7460]

Trombones man. Fuck yeah.

[@bjyokums]

I cannot imagine what it is like to know that you are directing that SOUND....My heart would be leaping from my chest.

[@_debug6087]

Hard to believe the season is already over

[@mostlyreliable]

Man he was right, they are crystal clear. They earned that win.

[@brown55061]

How much do your mics cost? Cause whatever they are IT'S WORTH IT!!!

Bro that trumpet just sends it at 2:40😂

its so CLEAN too

[@apex1012000]

Lead trumpets as icing on the cake @ 2:40.

so incredibly locked in

[@bullseyeguys8123]

5:24 I wore headphones and it literally sounds like the baritones were playing around my neighborhood. Amazing quality

[@epantha]

I was in drum corps in the late 70s and early 80s. This is BY FAR the most perfect hornline I have ever heard. I LOVE listening to this. It sounds digital.

[@jared0111]

great recording quality too, way better than most hornline videos.

[@mikeyeyey8678]

Melinda Fawver if you like blue coats horn line you will love the Carolina crowns brass as well:)

CLICKED ON THIS SO FAST

[@endermanslayer24rulz]

Guy at the beginning seems like he had quad shot espresso like 15 minutes ago

[@calebwmsgolf]

That would be Derek Gipson, the Coats’ brass caption head. He’s a little insane, but he’s passionate about the job.

Tubas on that low A gives me life 3:50

[@koozmik4165]

Cody Wright the reverb*+

[@codywright2840]

2:37-2:52 easily the most impressive hornline I've EVER heard.

[@Lexieidk]

Brick tator that's the reason I keep replaying that😂😍

[@jordancampos6864]

I honestly just cannot choose between Crown’s hornline or the Bluecoats’ hornline. Both kicked major ASS that year.

[@mikeyeyey8678]

@@jordancampos6864 Crowns is consistently perfect. 2016 was really the only time bluecoats was arguably better or equal to Carolina crown.

[@T0mat0_S0up]

@@mikeyeyey8678 I’m sorry but no. Crowns hornline was much better in 2016

[@ProfJul]

@@T0mat0_S0up That year they had flawless technique and intonation

[@kaylaforsythe1402]

You wouldn't think that their horn line could get any better than years past.... but goddamn they were outstanding this year. Cannot wait for 2017.

[@DisabusingTheLeft]

Love the chorale. We played a variation of that same chorale as warm up in high school. I still play it when warming up to this day. I think it was the Bach chorale #11.

[@lucasz8825]

3:30 when the brass sounds so good it sounds like a midi file has entered the chat. These guys were amazing, wonder what they're doing now..?

[@Scriabin_fan]

3:08 gave me the goosebumps!

Undertone at 2:11 from the tubas being so in tune. Mmmmm

nah, we actually played that low Eb. false tones are where it's at

Mr. Tibbs Willie or Samuel. Who would win?

[@olympushandling]

I LOVE seeing what they work on in sectionals. I've seen a lot of GREAT full brass videos of power and grandeur and they're a BLAST. As a brass instructor, I'm so curious about what they work on in smaller sections. Thanks for including those clips, too.

[@norbertosolis1337]

Those tubas man 🤤🤤

[@xaviercross3285]

Whether that was your rookie year, your rookout year, or your eighth year. I have a pretty good feeling that there were some tears after that lot. Heck me watching it three years later on KZbin I can feel the emotion there was that night.

[@TrillRoze]

THIS IS PHENOMENAL!!!! OMG THE CLOSERRRRRR

[@williamgrondzik2627]

Oml this was my favorite show by far. GO BLOOOOO

[@ATLRiot_]

The one dislike is probably a woodwind or orchestra player😒because this is beautiful

[@JS-hu7pv]

Whew - their low brass. I think it’s why I prefer their sound, and that of Crown and a few others, over the Blue Devils. Don’t get me wrong - I’ve been inside the Blue Devil’s warmup circle at Prelims and it’s damn impressive (high brass) but it’s the tubas and euphoniums that give me chills.

[@PatriotOnly]

2:05 - 2:11 That is one proud human. I love seeing that.

[@brendanwilkie5853]

One of the most powerful hornlines I have ever heard! Keep it up!
