Rehearsal at Sandy Creek HS before the DCI Southeastern Super Regional in Atlanta, GA

[@skaynekurtis]

every single time - show or rehearsal... the highest order of KICKASS!! Thanks for these world championship memories... already missing the summer of '18.

When the old school dude and some band dad gives you a standing O for a rehearsal run? You're doing something right....

just noticing this a year after this video came out but at 2:53 bass 1 misses a stick flip and drops his stick then reaches to get another stick but drops It too so he has to lean over and pick one up

3:38 drum majors have fun this part

Family Rennick on that TRACK

I still find it weird how many times they change the music.

[@ZakhadWOW]

both Blue Devils "wins" since this year have failed spectacularly to even approach the brilliance of "Babylon". THis year especially was so UNMEMORABLE that I couldnt remember anything but Moon River within 15 mins after the show.. Executed brilliantly yes, and that is where the judges need to get a goddamn clue about the QUALITY and impact of the show as a whole need to be valued a lot more than just technical proficiency. I will give the BD machine credit for their long brilliant history, but the last few years have provoked a LOT of people to wonder why they are damn boring now.

Shawn Putnam Luckily there is isn't a "Compare to Babylon Caption" in the scoring sheets. Every year is different. BD like all the previous winners won fair and square. Funny how when someone else besides BD wins, the judges are best around. But when BD wins, those same exact judges all of the sudden don't know how to judge anything. Gotta love the haters and their narratives. SMDH.

Thanks for posting. Do you have close up footage? My friend’s son is a featured performer.

my headphones unplugged right at the final screamer note at the end of the ballad SMH

They’re flat, but they’re flat together lol

[@jakebaker1051]

Way sharp but you got the right idea, they’re somewhere near a= 445 land

[@Jacobflint21]

@@jakebaker1051 they tune to 443, as it’s better for projection, so it could be that?

[@dcilover3109]

Keep in mind it is very hot where they are so the tendency is to get flat when it’s hot and sharp when it’s cold

[@kinbeatss]

everyone talks about 1:34 but what about 5:06

[@jkitchen2003]

What about it

[@hhenry007]

Literally everyone talks about both of those....

[@ima-van2694]

1:34 has an edge just due to how perfectly the band comes back into the song. I gave me chill bumps every time I watched it

[@ZakhadWOW]

who needs a cadets style company front when you have literally ELEVATED company blasting front? lol

[@CristianoRonaldo-tv3zd]

Out of tune dudes

[@richardung4049]

i mean, it seems extremely hot and they're at the end of a rehearsal. Can't expect them to play at a performance level after 6+ hours.

[@totesgene]

It’s an iPhone video dude. Of course the sound is shit.

[@kotlingoddess]

But it is 1000 times better than my school
