Just insane. It’s ballsy enough to telegraph “we’re gonna make a straight file with the entire hornline”, but to do an accel and condense it at the same time? Jfc.

[@lyndaloytty2747]

and half of them are doing it backwards!

[@Trumpet-boy-mb2]

True this is my head when I have a test tho to or is that just me

[@potterfanz6780]

This is clean

[@rex_da_savage6782]

the guy in the middle 😂

[@raviadluru6952]

bro just dipped

[@tickley42]

"guys idk why this set is so hard" 😂🤣

Middle goes out to make another line

[@samuelt8602]

one of my favorite parts of the visual performance

[@ryan_1314]

That dude at the end: 🏃

[@epsilon2160]

That’s the trumpet soloist

[@callme.geee_]

normally I’d be like yo that must’ve been an insane week for rehearsals… but then I realized they probably took like an hour on that because it’s the Blue Devils and they’re goated.

[@greg8510]

dude that pit is killing it

[@parrotmaster8787]

Yes the music matches so well with the visual

[@g.hon.4645]

Dude. That "pit" ain't marchin'...

[@waterspout_the_searainnight]

I love watching this part so much! I seriously love this part of the show. Just imagine how much it took to get that clean!!!

[@shaanfliesplanes]

My deepest condolences for the folks on the edge

[@mackduder007]

i think you're more prone to slipping when you run in the center area

[@Vinny52300]

The hurricane line 🌀

[@mrbigg151]

Those visuals are CRAZY! 💯🔥

[@tomatozest6074]

it doesn’t matter how many bands I see make a line like that, it still amazes me. We tried something like that with our show this year, we weren’t nearly this coordinated.

[@g.hon.4645]

There are @ least 3 areas where it began to.sag. All oriented on the "man" who's job it was to nail the yard marker. Then rt before that all comes together, they break apart. You do it @ speed & hopefully decrease the chances that the judges have time to mark it all down Sometimes it works. Sometimes not. This is exactly why the Midwest & the DCI usurpers decided to do away w/anything that resembled straight lines for the duration of the 80s. Then decided to junk m&m expertise forever. But here we are, as a sop to the data they mined this past yr on here: "You like REAL marching?? Here!"

[@MorningJoes]

I gotta a fever and the only prescription is more pinwheel

[@exterrorist]

The tenors were laying down a beat during this

[@kassidykoch5145]

I'm in marching band for high school and my director is always pulling up videos of yall and you guys are amazing!! Absolutely obsessed with this band and it would be a dream to be as good as yall some day!

[@jesuspectre9883]

Tempus meaning timeline, or a play on the word "tempest", meaning "storm". Viewed from above, the opening image is a weather channel "whirl" symbol like they use for hurricane reporting. The stage sets are like waves that gather in a line in the backfield at the end to represent a timeline of blue in art and culture throughout history.

[@reneeandrews4087]

I'm screaming at that stright file . Made my day. Love to see it.

[@xxaniimezx4983]

the pit and formation make my ears and eyes so happy 😭

[@derekhasabrain]

I was in my high school marching band for two years. GOD I miss it when I see these shorts

[@mrboymancubed1505]

My favorite marching band

[@jod6984]

DRUM CORPS, NOT BAND.

[@noodlesoup7986]

If only my band was as coordinated and committed as this

[@astroking1197]

Bro this looks so incredibly difficult to get so clean, props to these guys from a member of the broadneck marching band

[@claytoneickhoff2108]

This visual is such a flex. Stupid good...

[@Pyro2334]

I really wanna join one of these kinds of groups after I finally get through high school. It looks really intense but even then the intensity can be the fun part!

[@imaperson14]

its unhealthy how much ive rewatched this video

[@seabassmcbigfat]

There’s a reason they are 20 time World Champions. And they call the Patriots a dynasty.

[@gingertimelord9334]

me just listening to the pit

[@ElvenElle]

It’s honestly hard to believe this isn’t sped up. This has to be super exhausting. Insanely impressive.

[@bonddenhalter7243]

Was anyone else mildly infuriated that the gate turn didn't reach the 50 before they broke out?

[@juliat6444]

music was perhaps a bit early

[@bonddenhalter7243]

@@juliat6444 naw that's just how the drill was written

[@ABstract_16]

the dude on the outside almost running

[@T0astGhost]

This is insane, it must’ve taken a lot of time and effort to get this to look so good!

[@SPRTac]

This is mind blowing, as a middle school trumpeter I can only play in concert and I think is hard to memorization a scale.

[@canalbandashow]

*Sempre um grande espetáculo*

[@elijahhoffman8078]

It's insane that they don't use dots or markers for their drill and they can pull stuff off like this

[@bommeryeet4982]

Amazing

[@Gavinhill_]

Director be like “okay band, time to do a set of skiddadles make sure to maintain perfect pitch”

[@camihawkins5979]

"Okay guys RESET! We are going to do those few sets again!" I can only imagine 🤣

[@storm323]

WOWWW this is so mesmerizing!!! Great job!!

[@abbydoowilliams2007]

I LOVE the blue devils.

[@HuntressLilly]

This is so satisfying omg-

That's so cool.

Back when 2019 was twice as big🥺

[@jimeiden2360]

Zingali would be proud

[@lovetoreadbooks6100]

that is some insane coordination

[@Nigelrathbone1]

That's just flexing in every way possible.

[@bobbarksofficial4335]

Crazy

[@matchacreme4647]

Love this 👏

[@empyjoey]

NO WAY you guys have an indoor football field. I did marching band for 4 years and I wished we had this then. It's humid and gets over 100 where I live. I can't even count how many times I got heat stroke

[@TopDrumCorps]

This isn’t a school.

[@LilKream]

I already know that drill was a nightmare to learn

[@mattdugan2000]

The guy in the cowboy hat!

[@Domin0sPizzaPie]

This highschool band is going places

[@katiegooch163]

Lmao love looking at the steps of the people in the middle vs the end

[@scottmckeeth]

I would pass out just looking at the drill for this

[@bry_crochet]

That’s sick!

[@nosko4960]

amazing!!!

[@Krazykarlton]

I had a teacher who used to march with them

[@man.lover420]

the dude on the end when theyre doing a pinwheel thing isnt on time 😭 but anyways you guys are amazing i saw yall perform about a month ago

[@S.implyava24]

I want our band to be able to do this so bad 😭

[@gty0171]

For all the haters out there……… THIS!

[@_.lxghthxnds._]

The haters aren’t haters. They just want the music to be interesting. Blue devils only perform for the judges

[@theunknowndrummer1209]

Uhh okay, they walked into the line, marched for maybe 10 seconds, then started running around. BD 14 also had a line that did a similar thing that was written way better. Not the performers fault, it’s the drill writers

[@mjcabooseman]

@@theunknowndrummer1209 cry more. Lol

[@woodsman335]

My girlfriend marched with Phantom on the dance team in 1991. They did a pinwheel type move. She was on the end. She's only 4ft 10in tall and had to RUN to keep up

[@araxshiriau9275]

Still a reason why bluecoats are the fan favorite

[@_previously]

And they *still* have to play their damn instruments 😫😫😫 As someone who is constantly tripping, dropping and losing stuff, this seems like a nightmare!

[@Aaron-xg8mh]

No there not playing that is the pit if I had to play during drill like that I would scream at my director

[@emmalopez735]

Holy om- i want in

[@donzellahill2044]

Love

[@J41ner]

I can't imagine how many ppl fell during practice 💀

how epic!!!!!!

[@louiezollman3794]

Very nice, 💯

[@saeyi8961]

WOA

[@makssunflowers5854]

One of those people is my coach 💪

[@YelGel]

As a bassoon player this feels extremely dangerous and hard

[@lewtown]

Is there a show about people joining the blue devil's and the auditon process. I'm a big HBCU and BIG 10 band fan. The blue devils aren't my preferred style but I can recognize talent and skill and a show or mini series covering it would be cool to watch. Ohio State, Bethune cookman, southern university have had one in some form or another.

[@andresgramirez]

i think there’s one called clash of the corps- never seen it though

[@samsignorelli]

@@andresgramirez CotC is about the BD/Cadets rivalry in 2016...thanks. Bloo! I made BD for 1984, but the audition process was NOTHING like it is today. My 19-year old self would never make it today.

[@FallWarrior-si5eu]

The people on the end of the line be like *step*.................................*step*..................................*step*......................

[@heyitsrae5407]

I tried to like this twice.

[@jeffe_77]

As much as I want to be a hater. Call it like I see it, that was brilliant and it they deserved to win another title.

[@emma_73]

i can only imagine what the drill packet for that looks like 😭😭

[@jod6984]

OMG!!!

Do the blue devils have a woodwind section?

This isn’t just for DCI. It’s for colts practice, DCI groups only rehearse inside for a few days before DCI world championships
