Carolina Crown 2015 Hornline - Denton, TX

[@supersop]

It's great seeing Michael Klesch in the circle. Brilliant man. Probably the best brass arranger in DCI history. The tricks he used to use in the old 2 valve G bugle days was almost mind bending. Jumping octaves between voices to cover unplayable notes was always a great Easter Egg to hunt for. My favorite memory from 90 Cadets was the day he handed us about 11 different intro's to the show ..... then him finally saying, "That's the Cadets sound! Throw the rest away.." Just watching him work. Squeezing every tiny nuance from us in order to get the sound he wanted...... I'm truly blessed to have learned from a genius.

[@nbrister1]

They're perfectly in tune even whenever they're singing.

[@douglasclare5106]

If you can sing it, you can play it :)

[@SpiderPigRS]

We are used to using our voices so we can match pitches easier with it

[@redrex7819]

+Nicholas Brister It's all just singing through an instrument.

[@danielbutcher5836]

Although this concept is not at all new, it does go to show the emphasis that has been placed on developing members as musicians, not just bricks in a 'wall of sound.' Thank you to all the staff who have invested so much in these amazing young musicians.

[@owenwu7995]

i dont think you have very good ears if you think they are always in tune in this video.

[@Yuppers0827]

This was the first dci video I ever watched I've been hooked ever since

[@spellcone1220]

Crown's Brass + SCV Percussion + Bloo design team would wreck DCI.

[@iAmNovaFilms]

Vain That would leave BD in the dust

[@Danny-sy7bg]

+bd visually too

[@jordancampos6864]

1) The Carolina Vancoats ✅ 2) Carovan Bluecrown (WTF me) 3) The Bluecrown Vanguard (smh)

[@r3flection488]

It's like my phones battery usage just pauses when I watch these videos. Almost like my phone enjoys these so much it saves it's battery

[@ryangreen9378]

3:32 THAT MELLO LICK

[@musicfanatic4641]

Sooo crisp and clean! I'm in love ❤️❤️❤️

[@iSustained]

If only their drumline was as clean as the vocals, then they'd take it all

[@l0xx79]

I'm from the future and I got some news for you....

[@caden-brown]

Lol same

[@nathan-qo9rj]

i Sustained there drumline is good this year. But Vanguard's gonna win. Babylon has not competition.

[@chrissalazar7650]

i Sustained bad news and good news for you man..q

[@nathan-kv9gy]

i Sustained lol now it's the guard that's holding them back

[@oleksi9336]

matt harlof has made this corp one of the best ever

[@jonathanshier2511]

Probably my favorite brass. Unlike the Blue Devils, they focus on sound and actually sounding right and focusing on balance between voices which I love. But if they had a better percussion and colorguard, they would be very good, almost unstoppable.

[@nbrister1]

Well, that's not entirely correct. I'm pretty sure the Blue Devils focus on more of a jazz blend, hence the sopranos being the "loudest". BD does have a super strong low brass section though.

[@jonathanshier2511]

Agreed, but most the people that I have met either hate BD because their lows sound very nasal, or because they don't have a good balance so that's what I hear a lot. I personally love the Blue Devils and plan to march the trumpet with them someday, but I was just distinguishing the difference between Crown and BD. I also love BD's brass. Crown just seems more "in the box" if you know what I mean.

[@tp24072]

Ok but Crown's guard is literally their second strongest caption after brass.

[@nbrister1]

+josh 42732 yeah, I understand. Crown has more of a wind symphony balance and the Blue Devils tend to have more of a jazz balance. I personally like Crown more, but I wouldn't mind if they had a screamer to add to their already lush chords.

[@popeyesailor9571]

+josh 42732 yea BD only has 24 horn titles.

[@clarkbolding5161]

5:08 😭😭😭😭 please I was waiting for that RIP to me
