Carolina Crown Brass 2012 - Avon Rehearsal

[@joshuabowers6065]

Such balance from top to bottom. Intonation is either there or corrected in milliseconds. Playing with air, crescendos to each release. Proud to have marched the same corps as this brassline.

[@MrAndersonneo88]

if you marched from 2012-15 i want to thank you for your service, God's Brasslines

2012 and 2013 were such legendary horn lines. 2012 played an insanely hard book very well and 2013 played a much easier book absolutely perfectly

[@DaBigMilk]

2013 show was so amazing it made a judge cry

@@Mrtellitlikeitis I’m a BD fanboy to the point where it’s concerning, but even I have to admit, the show was reaalllly good and the brass book was a lot better and tasteful than uhh… BD’s jumbled up shit from Cabaret Voltaire.

[@kobeniscar9675]

Time passes by huh already been 10 years since this rehearsal

[@johnythanj]

I swear, that instant initiation of sound from the entire hornline is stellar, along with the fact that the overtones lock in immediately. It really is astounding what a group dedicated towards a common goal can do within a summer.

[@CrownQT]

At 4:00 we're playing with our tuning slides pulled out, commonly known as "foghorn".

[@dallas12345]

What's the benefit of doing so? Is it meant as a training tool to push air while still getting the resistance of actually playing the horn?

[@fishdinners7760]

Yeah basically im glad someone pointed it out

[@corygates7460]

There's a ton of uses for it.. mostly for response and pitch centering. You can hear every little inflection in pitch center and tone when on foghorn. We were using at 4:00 to work on releases and note shape without playing the actual chunk on the horn. Foghorn is great for taking care of/saving the chops by playing the horn without playing the horn.

[@camilleon352]

Excellent middle school beginning band impression

[@magikkmann]

These last couple of years (and especially this year), Carolina Crown's brass has just been SO much better than everyone else in the drumcorps world, it's not even funny. They have definitely EARNED the Jim Ott each time they have won it. I really hope they keep it up, because they are one of the few drumcorps that actually still SOUNDS like a drumcorps should, imo.

[@TheHuntermoss]

Simply, The best horn line in DCI history.

A modern day star of indiana, my god they sound amazing, I hope I can march there one day

[@TheEuphonium412]

The “YEAHHHH!!!!!” from Harloff at 7:02 gets me every time. Those staccatos are absolutely immaculate and the energy of the musical line just swells until that last sustain lets all of the hype from the scream flood out at once. Great instruction, excellent writing, and even better execution, what an incredible moment

[@kmills62]

Love it! Watching and listening to these rehearsals is almost as enjoyable as the live performances. i just get shaky in the knees when I hear the harmony and precision.

[@wallyang]

Section shorts! Yellow for euphs, pink for baris, green for tubas, black for mellos, and two different shades of blue for trumpets.

[@justamaninTN]

Pink all the way!

[@jamesplunkett8154]

I could listen to Crown's Hornline warm-up and rehearse all day long!! Simply Beautiful.

[@JerryGoodnight]

Holy overtone Batman. 8:38 - end.

[@wallyang]

We do that to listen to one another, and to make sure that dynamics and articulations are being matched. As well as making sure everyone can play the part.

[@chaseprescott613]

I seriously can NOT wait to be apart of such a talented group of musicians. I have never been more excited in my life to audition.

So many wonderful amazing teaching techniques to acquire from this video.... and from the Jim Ott award recipients for best hornline. This video is a brass instructor's dream. Thanks for sharing!

[@Phostings1]

Oh my god, I almost thought this was Avon. I had to read the title again. However, Avon high school hornline is amazing and I would have been easily fooled. I met Carolina Crown back in high school and they're so amazing! Love you Crown!

[@carl8218]

ugh so perfect!

[@DrumCorpsTube]

True. The staff did mention that. Haven't heard of a runthrough that late before, usually there's some sort of noise ordinance. Seems as though they didn't have to worry about that.

[@JerryGoodnight]

We did it to match tone quality, articulation (timing, style, definition, etc.), releases, dynamics (rate of crescendo, decrescendo, etc.) and other things. A great all around exercise for us this year.

[@RussellKasem]

That feeling when you get it right! 7:04 and hearing Harloff scream! I always enjoyed that when I marched.

[@katelynhoitt501]

I freaking love this. Not like I would have thought it wouldn't be. These amazing sounds give me so much inspiration for just marching my rookie year.

[@DrumCorpsTube]

If I remember correctly, they pulled the tuning slide out on one end. It also seems like they're pressing the valves all the way down on the video, but it's hard to tell.

[@kevincole908]

the amazing thing about this is... that since seeing Crown in 2013 and watching so many videos of their rehearsals, warmups, and performances - they sound much dirtier in this video. The last two show segments they play still sound amazing - but the difficult runs they are rehearsing in the early parts sound MUCH dirtier when compared to what they achieved with E=MC2.

[@nfsman123]

This video reminds me of the Star of Indiana 1993 Brassline video...

[@crwnguy]

Actually, the corps had gotten in about 5am that morning, had about 6 hours down and started rehearsal about 12 noon. They were tired, but not exhausted.

[@DrumCorpsTube]

Good to know, thanks!

IU is was out of session, so much of the surrounding student housing near IU memorial was empty. Also, with the acutual field at the stadium is below street level. The stadium holds sound pretty well. There is also an unsderstanding with the IU and Bloomington police about drum corps rehearsing at the Stadium..that whole bill cooke thing..

We only do that when we're working on timing or articulation stuff. We're doing that and working on runs to make sure that we are all playing everything the same way and the same time, speed, technique, etc.
