10:41 i have never heard a more aggressive dut in my life lmao

[@cyberneticwolf8287]

😂😂

[@matthewwhaley874]

I love these vibe cams! Not only does SCV consistently have some of the best writing for the instrument in DCI, but it's harder to appreciate the parts when listening to the overall ensemble, but you can definitely here how much it contributes to their sound when listening to it this way.

[@cornflake889]

I was just thinking that

Pit life matters

[@thatonerandomperson7328]

Announcer: drum majors is your core ready Subtitles: Tomatoes,,, Quality

[@mrjamesho]

Vibe headcams > soloist headcams

[@Secret_Troilus]

Vibes never get enough love

[@tristanstevenson1164]

Wow. This is a great video. Whoever wrote the opener did a great job

[@RYANRUTH]

Tristan Stevenson they are actuall songs that are just transcripted into brass parts

[@marissabowler2098]

@@RYANRUTH we do have source material and our writers arrange the pieces to fit the instruments as well as create a cohesive show but it is a lot of original writing and scoring! The majority of the opener is original but referncing the melody of "My Body is a Cage" which is also what the ballad is based off of! And Tristan, the Rennicks write the entire percussion book!

[@danibroad3519]

Cool!!! 3.5 Octave Vibraphone!!!

[@ebok98]

Such a beautiful sound. Your part is so beautiful. And you play it so well. Thank you for the video.

[@collinsampson6644]

I love the way this vibe sounds

[@adventure_hannah3841]

Woah, this book is amazing!

[@vanguardstar]

Congratulations!

[@Falcon2.39-1]

My new favorite dci video. Btw I love that all the vibe players play burton. So do i😁

[@kevinhambrick8389]

Is there any advantage to playing Burton as opposed to Musser?

[@chriscox2261]

I love the power burton give you. But like you said personal preference. #Vibraphone gang

[@amandalu1003]

Always love a good vibe cam

[@thekidkeys3428]

Amazing!!! Congrats on the dub!

[@Bcworkshere]

Awesome!!

[@BRZbash]

6:29 to 6:45 is my favorite part from the pit. they impress me every time I hear this.

[@KeWDu]

2:33 I'm pretty sure might be the same chord for Thomas & Friends' :O Face. Which I think is hilarious, but also beautiful.

[@justinnash9460]

i used DTX pads for our highschool show and I can easily say, it's a helluva lot of fun.

[@TobyMillerDrums]

Yasss girl, get it!

[@chadbeebe8649]

Good job. Just watch clarity at the low end at 3:45. Be sure not to under balance the hype going on. Anyways......THAT'S MY FRIEND, I'M SO PROUD OF YOU!!!!!

[@koheisakai1953]

Chad Beebe who do you think you are to criticize this?!?!? Where’s your vibraphone cam!?!?? I bet you’re just some high school kid that’s up to no good, just playing video games, watching TV, and criticizing people on KZbin all day. Unbelievable..... I can’t believe you CHAD BEEBE

[@marissabowler2098]

Extereme Dabber both Kohei and Chad are my friends! If you check out 3:45 that he mentions it’s just a stick flip haha, they’re just giving me and each other a hard time

[@jay-el9pg]

Kohei Sakai that’s just a stick flip XD lol

[@Musicisair715]

First off, congratulations on the victory. And I think it’s awesome to be a part of DCI that’s my dream.

[@chrismartinez6397]

Amazing! Do you know if anyone is going to upload a marimba cam?

[@marissabowler2098]

Chris Martinez I know there were a few people who tried to film them but we ran into a lot of tech issues. I am not sure if we ended up having a marimba cam that actually turned out

[@thegoldenwasp8244]

[@chrisnock5164]

P of course

[@RYANRUTH]

Ashley Ridenour already did

[@CSharp__]

As a person in a similar instrument interest, this is cool!

[@johnjaesun3796]

heuh such a beautiful intro. nice, scv

[@loghannn]

One of my friends from Beeches is auditioning for Marimba here I think, I'm so looking forward to seeing you guys in 2020! I think we'll only be doing Indiana, Indianapolis and New York.

[@exavierdotnet]

What sweet sound.... at times it resembles the amazing timber of a Fender Rhodes piano. ❤

[@eyo31abe]

nicceeee

[@johnwolff]

Stupid question: who do the vibes play all the runs with mallets 2 and 4 instead of 2 and 3 like the marimbas do?

[@jjsoc10]

They are using Burton/traditional grip! The marimbas use Stevens, so they use 2/3 for singles, but in Burton/traditional you use 2/4 for singles with inner mallets.

[@johnwolff]

Jhana Parikh thanks! I didn’t even notice what trip they were using. Is there any reason that they are using burton grip instead of Stevens?

[@johnwolff]

Davin Cai I had no idea, thanks! My school is all Stevens but we use traditional grip for snare so I just didn’t understand why the would use burton over Stevens but now I got it now

[@reneegomez7240]

yeah plus vibe cords sound waaaay louder and more powerful with burton grip

[@johnwolff]

Renee Gomez do they use burton for interval consistency or is there no difference?

[@programmedwrong3795]

Wow, this girl is a bad ass!

[@MrPaulie1340]

Heard and watched the show in person and on video hundreds of times and never fully appreciated how much your part enhanced so very much of it. I mean... like the lead in to #thesnap and the bridge between it and Club Sound... brilliant writing and a spectacular performance by you Marissa!

[@jonahhenry846]

Do you know what size/weighting the crash and china cymbals you were using are? I'm trying to find a good balance for my high school's ensemble

[@jonahhenry846]

Is there a marimba cam coming? Also this is absolutely amazing!!

[@thegoldenwasp8244]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/l2OnaXSNfLSekNk

[@jakev5187]

The Golden Wasp is a hero for all who wander for the hidden marimba cam

[@maxis5793]

Totatoes quality? Audience: THEY'RE ALWAYS QUALITY!!!

[@rman8353]

Please post a marimba cam!!

[@jacobhanekamp2534]

Quick question, whenever playing runs, why do you use mallet 4 instead of mallet 3?

[@williamsanborn9195]

What was the drum pad machine used for?

[@sstupid__marimbaplayer]

I always wondered what this pad things at the end of the vibes do. Like does it change the fans inside the vibe...or is it set up to like an electronic to make the no instrumental noises?

[@colinhough5664]

It is an electronic instrument. You just can't hear it very well since she sits behind the speakers. But a lot of the yells, whoosh, and anything super electronically goes through those.

[@LuNaTicModz553]

What does the thing do at 10:03

[@gregk8008]

I know this is an old comment, but to answer your question: It is a sampler. The mallet players use their mallets to activate sound samples (ie. sound effects) with the mallets.

[@bigtrodasmallloda2208]

I like that they use burton grip on the vibes

[@doritobandito_1323]

hey I was wondering if the drum corps season interferes with college at all? I really want to try out when I go to college but I'm looking at schools that are like two hours away from the nearest drum corps and I don't know if I'd be able to travel :(

[@AdamS32828]

Erin Moloney considering that most members are in college, it’s usually not an issue. You’d have to talk to your professors about maybe missing some Fridays for preseason auditions/rehearsals, but most corps will encourage you to put academics first and they’ll excuse you for something like missing Friday night of a weekend rehearsal. Spring training usually starts after most colleges are out for the summer, and I’ve even seen the case where high schoolers miss part of spring training to stay in school for the week of overlap

[@doritobandito_1323]

oof that makes me feel a lot better

[@ZareefHuq]

Killer! I want to audition for SCV after I get out of high school this year but I'm broke :( I'm saving up for the 2020 season when I am finally in college. Any tips for me in terms of me wanting to play vibe or (if I'm feeling SUPER ambitious) marimba while I'm in hiatus from marching band?

[@marissabowler2098]

Zareef Huq absolutely! I would start with knowing all of your scales inside and out, major and minor. The audition process is a lot of exercises/ brain teasers and reading music. That being said work on sight reading! Lastly, there is an individual portion and you will need a solo. If you can, I would recommend coming to auditions this year so you can get a feel for the process and how we do things. It will also give you plenty to work on before the 2020 audition (which sounds like the year you really want to march). Happy practicing!

[@nateedwards5132]

Does anyone know what mallets the Marimbas use for the opener?

[@saltwestlo5023]

Nate The Marimbist Sandi Rennicks... they use them for the whole show cause Sandi Rennick writes for them

[@cjphillips5152]

vibe check

[@blakelandre2923]

What grip is that to? Is that Stevens grip?

[@Maya-ox8pw]

Wolfthorn454 burton’s

[@maxwellabelson7794]

I’m going to sound like an idiot, but what does the electronic (I assume) drum pad (I assume again) do in the show?

[@marissabowler2098]

The DTX basically just has different sounds programmed on to it (like the wind sound at the beginning of the show). It is difficult to hear in this video because I kept my monitor pretty quiet, but in the audience you would hear it through the 4 main speakers. Some other obvious patches programmed in other DTXs are the screams, whispers, and all the “drum set” sounds during club sound.

[@parkerhewett6731]

You hit pad it make sound that go with band

[@MichaelReedPercussion]

Do you remember the brand/model info on your monitor?

[@MichaelReedPercussion]

Is it one of the small Behringers?

[@saltwestlo5023]

Michael Reed I believe they’re Yamaha DTXs... heard it from Paul Rennick about incorporating these into the 2015 show

[@joshmartinez2221]

Did Trevor film a run?

[@Oltovos2003]

Squash man Dew he tried, and ran into some technical problems

[@TecHDynamic]

7 > 5

[@southerncrescentproductions]

Bass drum player at 10:21

[@blakelandre2923]

Why aren't you pulsing sometimes

[@colton_simmons]

As far as I know, vanguard cares more about listening in to each other for time instead of looking in and pulsing. It's a bit different then other corps, but they've won percussion 3 times in a row now so they're clearly doing something right

[@blakelandre2923]

Wow good for them😊 I didnt know that but yeah i can understand that listening is more important epically during the accents because thats when it is hard to pulse

[@Hi-hy1jr]

Wow I can’t even play with four mallets...

[@user_28373]

My favorite part is 10:16 to 10:42

[@Roytheasian]

What is the thing she hits on the side in the beginning

[@doritobandito_1323]

Roy_the_ Asian it's a sound pad, that's where all the sound effects came from

[@HyperLuigi37]

Fast runs with mallets 2 and... 4? Not 3? Wow. Bold choice, I respect it.

[@xxGodlyMge14]

HyperLuigi Vibes use burton’s grip so it’s normal for them
