Pure Imagination wake up - Jersey Surf, 8.09.23

I wasn't going to upload this, but I got an absolutely killer angle from right on the 50.

[@insertdecentname4136]

id be okay with dying, if i woke to this in the afterlife

[@gerbalchicken4525]

I'd say waking up to this means that you're already in heaven, if only for the summer.

[@wavetoearth8260]

LMAO

[@Bowden57]

Oh man, I've been waiting for another version of this since the 2017 edition! Way better sound position. Chills for days!

[@gerbalchicken4525]

Sound position was the only reason I posted this honestly. I was just going to send it to a few friends but it was too perfect.

Yay a new one since 2017, it’s so beautiful

[@jaggerdenmark7327]

There’s one with two different videos and they combine the audios and it’s pure

[@kirbslaw4194]

The reaction at 1:41 says it all. If only I could wake up to something like this every morning lol

Ay that was me in the video! As tired as I was at what was probably 7am, I couldn't help but just sit there and enjoy the moment! This is played, as per tradition, the last time we all share gym before Indy! They want me to come back and help tech so I'll get another chance next year to tour with some amazing people again and sneak in last minute to hear them play this again :D

Must have been ā extremely amazing experience

[@kaiz8386]

Dude. I've waited six years to hear this done on the same level as the first one, and now Im one of the first 20k to hear it. Thank you sir, you have shared something that will make everyone happy.

[@parcivalnayuta]

Same my guy, I downloaded the original onto my phone just because of how heavenly it was

[@TaviakalTavan]

Have to admire the brass for getting early to play.

[@odd._.o]

We had to get up an hour early to warm up and get a few practice reps in. I’d say it was worth it!

[@quirky9i451]

This was amazing to be part of

[@Squiddyikarus]

[@Katie.Thayer]

It’s my favorite part of this video is watching the guy Laying right in front of the camera, just marvel in the moment… You can tell he really just was enjoying life in that moment

[@mikemulto2378]

1:09 that solo was like making his part more better than that 2017 one.:D

[@TheHellleader]

Yeah different guy, 6 years apart

[@joshuachan6317]

The first one also have the solo, but it was much more blended Which for me, feels different ❤

[@connormckibben5986]

Absolutely my favorite arrangement of Pure Imagination. Wish there was a studio recording of it, but the acoustics in that gymnasium are hard to beat!

[@bmgamermunson5123]

The dude infront of you is exactly what my reaction to this would be. Lovin it.

[@brandonpryormusic]

Surf absolutely has the best arrangement of this. Neo soul type chords in a drum corps is wild.

[@duckus333]

Thank you for keeping the tradition alive. Hearing the corps song played so well makes me proud to be a euph line alum 2015-2018.

[@MadiLikesPie]

this is absolutely amazing in every single way the way the trumpets blended so perfectly at 2:13 which is not someting a lot of highschool bands can achieve

[@gravymcgravyson]

jersey surf is dci

[@Roach9373]

Yeah because its not a highschool band sadly

[@myles4011]

That’s not high school

[@hyperspaceelf]

2:00 Oof, goosebumps. The one from years back is one of my favorite vids on YT. So happy to see the tradition continue.

[@slime6100]

i need a 10 hour version

[@yahoo12345jojo]

I'm interested, can someone tell me about this tradition?

[@odd._.o]

Absolutely! Originally, Pure Imagination was played in the morning of the corps final day together as a final goodbye to the corps and a tribute to the efforts every member had put forth. In recent times, however, Surf has stayed at hotels in Indianapolis, making that impossible. As a result, it is now played in the last morning we all wake up in a gym. It’s been a thing for a decent chunk of the corps’ history, and all 3000+ members have heard it, but the current arrangement is from 2012. This year, I had the unique privilege to join the small ensemble for this wake-up.

[@yahoo12345jojo]

@@odd._.o Thank you so much! And I saw the video for this year's wakeup, it was lovely as ever. Congrats on a great season!

[@izzatIHH55]

I just watched the 2017 one and was surprised to know they did one this year as well! May i know why are they sleeping in the sports hall?

[@gerbalchicken4525]

Drum corps involves touring from school to school to rehearse and play shows, so we have to sleep in high schools for the whole summer. Generally the only part of a high school which is big enough for the whole group to sleep in is the gym.

[@n0chill263]

I am so happy this ended up in my recommended. Such a beautiful rendition of an all time classic.

[@mig3090]

So beyond happy to see this tradition continue. SurfPit ‘18, waking up to this on Semis day is like medicine for the soul. Proud beyond compare to call this my home corps. S. T. L. 🌊💙

[@wyit7172]

i hope Jersey Surf continues to do this cover. Never heard a band do it so well. I get chills every time i revisit this beautiful song.

[@ashtondumadag8174]

truly amazing. the screen turned black and i saw the reflection of my face in awe

[@truthbetoldministries8883]

2017 version was much better. Forcing notes and not blending well and was played much louder and most instruments were not in tune. Overall, beautiful piece.

[@BDuncan321]

the crazy thing is the people who wake up early to play it like that’s the first thing they do that morning and it sounds that good

[@bobbarksofficial4335]

YES! THEY DID IT AGAIN BABYYYYY! 💚💚

[@omenoctis]

I like the trumpet frack in the second solo tbh, and the first trumpet solo in this one is so good his tone is heard throughout the whole song

[@SJAAKYT]

I would wake up.. and just take it all in

[@robertmeekins6463]

My man set up like, Whaa??!! Then hit the pillow, falling into Heaven lol

[@SylNYC]

What is the intro progression called?

[@WilliamBottka]

Can't wait to get back, November camp can't get here quick enough.

God I would cry if I was there. Hell I’m crying now.

[@snakeeyes-di5zn]

the trumpet at the end 😅😅

[@KSTrumpet]

Unfortunately… that was me. After all the times we played it, that was only the second time I ever cracked that octave jump. Then again, it WAS 8am and all of us were tired, I know I’m not the only one who messed up (mind you, mine was BLATANT). But yes, I hear it and cringe every time

[@brunofloris1822]

Can someone explain to me who this people are? I'm Italian and I have no clue who they are

[@Fishermhm]

This is a Drum and Bugle Corps, based in New Jersey, called "Jersey Surf". It is a marching music program consisting of Brass, Percussion and Flags. This corps is a member of DCI, or Drum Corps International, which is a competitive circuit wherein Corps compete against each other while touring across the United states over the summer. It is tradition for many corps to have a performance of their corps song to wakeup the members on their last day together. So this was a very special moment for these members as it signals the final moments they have together before their tour ends.

[@denirachman2979]

1:42 man just say "hell, yeahhh"

[@DavidMarzullo-pq7iy]

But, who wakes up the brass??

[@DigOnThis_]

This ia beautiful, but i need context. What is this school, why are they asleep, why are some playing, is this a drum corp? I just need some context🙏.

[@gerbalchicken4525]

This is the Jersey Surf Drum and Bugle Corps - essentially, we spend the summer rehearsing and touring from place to place, and we both rehearse and sleep at high schools. One of the corps' traditions is that in our last school, the brass plays Pure Imagination as the wake up call. This was played at something like 7 in the morning, hence so many of us being asleep.

[@DigOnThis_]

@gerbalchicken4525 thank you, thats awesome.

[@TheAdrian01]

I love how the DM started the BIG part with cut and went back to standard, it just makes it feel more exciting.
