rhythm x, touch 2009

last run-through at rehearsal in middletown on the morning of wgi finals before heading to the lot at ud arena

[@TheLilmike248]

Year 2024 here… my first WGI finals was 2008. I have been fortunate to see some incredible lines at the end of that decade. Incredible performers from the front ensembles to the battery. Rhythm X 2009 was a force that still haunts and taunts the lines of today. Still setting the example of what a Drumline should sound, look, and perform like. Thank you Rhythm X.

[@ZackWatson]

I still come back and watch this video. Really changed my game. Thanks for this upload!

[@BenjyBraude]

Ditto

[@hablablu34]

yea, i did wgi out on the west coast last year and he was with rcc. i think that guy in the bd shirt is the blind dude matt bowers

[@wcboy94]

nahh its a fun experience i played trumpet my 8th grade year and then i went to drumline and played bass 3 my freshman year and now im a sophmore and i play tenors

[@Porpan1967]

Thanks Girlsnare08 for Upload this beautiful Video!

[@BenjyBraude]

I've had this video on my ipod since finals, and I've never noticed that. I feel dumb.

[@BenjyBraude]

You should feel dumb.

[@zace98]

amazing.....absolutely amazing.

[@ortizzle55]

duh lol its cuz im ordering drums for the high school i teach at and those basses look just right. even tho they are a little smaller than typical outdoor marching drums. i like the way they look

[@EFRproductions]

I like how she video'd a X on the pavement at the beginning, nice

[@Palavalve]

That was absolutely beautiful. And I LOVE the guitar.

[@ImIllBass5]

This show is one of the most Emotional and Badass shows that i have seen.... They Kicked ass at Championships!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@MoustacheCloud]

Still the best show of all time in my opinion.

[@BlackJ18]

bass feature was sick

[@BillXHETASXCook]

I don't know, I didn't really like the atmospere :/ And yeah, I am doing guitar for elements again, lol. Did you make the snareline?

[@BSBINC1]

heyy i see one of the tenor player from the Blue Devils 09 at 2:47

[@bert_up]

my new favorite video. just wish you would have gotten the front ensemble too

[@rreemmzzrruullee]

they sure do. looks badass. if you watch 2003 malaguena you can see it really well.

[@girlsnare08]

yes

[@Paralda]

It's different for WGI... but if you're 22 before June 1st of any year, you can't march that year of DCI... if your birthday is after June 1st, you get an "extra year." WGI's rules say you cannot be over 22 on the day of March 31st of any given year... I don't know if that means you can compete as a 23 year old if your birthday is after March 31st or if you can only compete as a 22 year old. I think the limit for WGI is 22, whereas it's 21 for DCI.

[@DreamEpiarch]

details in the fabric by jason mraz i believe. i just made the connection.

[@jobardill]

isn't the Snare with the blue shirt and hat from the Bluecoats last season?

[@jgw39465]

where are you from? always wanted to know where girlsnare was at..

[@sergioskates]

gets better every time I watch it

[@IndoorPanda]

16, 18, 20 24,26

[@Gazeboism]

looks like i see a blue devils tenor player and some bluecoats snare players.

[@girlsnare08]

yes, dean hickman

[@hablablu34]

It looks like the tenors use Renaissance Emperor heads from remo

[@ECUSnare]

this show is hands down sick as shit. and that stick toss? ballin. see X had some BAMFs on the line this year, props!

[@qdrummer92]

yeah im pretty sure thats brandon zachey

[@vator3all3the3way]

Great show

[@alildrumhappy]

@ortizzle55 They are the size we have at Tyler Junior College. but we also have a 32 for marching season. I think the top is 16 then second would be a 20. then bottom is a 30. thats all i have. lol.. Im just a tenor player

[@phobass]

he is 19 years old and he is the center. he's been marching coats since he was 16

[@BenjyBraude]

Ya they did, the surprise ending was awesome.

[@apercussionist91]

hey, is there anywhere I could buy an mp3 of this song?

[@FatGocks]

Tasty.

[@A_Flash1992]

how much later, and what year does your birthday have to be in to age out 22 instead of 21 for DCI and WGI?

[@sobrien0628]

Because the center isn't how good you its all about how long you have been in the line

[@lilman9795]

haha! like 3 minutes in before they the to snake things where they follow eachother in a line they go "BUTT SEX!!"

[@drumguru718]

its not too difficult to figure out if you watch it like bar by bar or in like 3 sec chunks

[@Paralda]

I like the guy yelling SPLOOEY! After he says finals.

[@Paralda]

WGI age out is later than DCI.

[@Xicu812X]

RRRRRRHYTHM X! *cue yay*

[@leighburnette]

i love how matter-of-factly you responded to this. :)

[@thasnargoblin]

at 1:48, the tenor on the far right looks like michael cera

[@SPHSdrumline]

....and this is why i like showbands more

[@rreemmzzrruullee]

no MCM asked him not to come back

[@hablablu34]

oh im not shure man

[@phobass]

watch drew guy this summer then, he is 3 years younger than justin and he's better.

[@BotBehavior]

when marching top base backwards does toes up, what core is that?

[@Porpan1967]

Im sure its 18, 20, 22, 24 and 26"!

[@alildrumhappy]

No, i mean bad.. as in Bad fuckin ass.. i mean it was just a stick toss but it was fucking awesome.. lol..

[@FOSSIL13drums]

WOOOOO! Go X!

[@Paralda]

What are those bass sizes? Bass 1 looks like a 0 bass, but bass 5 looks like a normal 32". Dynasty has weird sizes, though.

[@A_Flash1992]

hey I know this is going to sound weird now that I'm asking so late, but does anyone know if Matt Bowers had his birthday in the month such that he got the extra WGI year? Cause I just sorta realized that he wason X 09, but not BD.... lol

[@girlsnare08]

@greenjimmydog a town close to Dayton,OH

[@jdu1111]

Does anyone know if that beginning guitar intro was taken from details in the fabric my Jason Mraz? It sounds exactly like it.

[@qdrummer92]

are you sure? then that leaves new york and the other guy i have forgot his name because nick arce marched rcc too

[@pbProductions96]

Does anyone have the music for touch?

[@enzo665]

which of these guys marched 2009 Bluecoats?

[@ortizzle55]

anyone know the sizes of the basses?

[@funkrok2010]

What heads do the tenors use? SEXYEST SHOW EVER!!!!!

[@BillXHETASXCook]

I hope you make it, you really deserve it :)

[@stubbyt34]

HAHA did someone yell SPLOOIE?! 0:28

[@Porpan1967]

Thats definitly the most incredible Stick Trick Feature EVER!

[@qdrummer92]

yeah i know thats bowers but i thought we were talking about the curly headed guy?

[@pedroalcaraz12]

that snare player in the red shorts looks really young does anyone know how old he is?

[@BillXHETASXCook]

I had the guitar spot this year, no joke. I wasn't allowed to do it though :(

[@FatGocks]

Who is the center snare?

[@Jhnny025]

the stick toss is the best part

[@drumboy1313]

The guitarist looks like Mark Hoppus.

[@A_Flash1992]

did Bass 1march crown for 09?

[@funkrok2010]

or some tenor music?

[@girlsnare08]

i was in elements

[@alildrumhappy]

@ortizzle55 I know the bottom is not a 32 lol..

[@Marvelman73]

another someone's from the 'Dets and Devils heh

[@Paralda]

Really? I always thought it was "Who's next?!"

[@A_Flash1992]

tight. I was really curious about the rules. Thanks

[@Rpkist77]

Ironically they were dirtier than many other lines there. But once again General Effect gave them the gold.... XD

[@girlsnare08]

who cares why he didn't go back to mcm, he had a spot at x and got a gold medal, im sure he's not upset about it lol this isn't directed toward rreemmzzrruullee, just in general.

[@dragonforce44444]

my favorite part is the beginning when the cymbal player is like doing something to the drumline :D

[@wgidci55]

what kind of shoes are justin lewis wearing in this they look really thin and comfortable for marching

[@girlsnare08]

I find out this weekend at rehearsal. Evidently danch can't decide between me and this one other guy.

[@ImBrentBarnes]

I heard one of their tenor players is blind is that true?

[@alexgaeckle1540]

Yeah Bowers, was on BD there's a docu on here about him.

[@MoustacheCloud]

Not completely blind lmao but missing a lot of vision

[@jdu1111]

but i mean they did pick it from that song? l

[@melheislerdrums]

3:22 haha! i love it!!

[@cod4surfer]

4:49 "oh my GAAWWWD!!! >:0"

[@girlsnare08]

i believe he ages out this year....i could be wrong though.

[@7032jd]

my man is marxhing in toms though

[@girlsnare08]

@SirRobIV see it's a win/lose because if i would have gotten the front too then you wouldnt see any of the line....or drill.

[@girlsnare08]

well there are three at 1:47....

[@apercussionist91]

At 3:20 did they yell "Blue Sex?"

[@mhsdl2012]

He has tunnel vision

[@rreemmzzrruullee]

someones from the cavaliers haha

[@alildrumhappy]

That stick toss at 2:37-2:41 was bad.. even tho it wasn't much.. This whole show was B.A.

[@phobass]

[@girlsnare08]
