This marching brass section sounds INCREDIBLE 😲

Did you catch how the brass feature starting at 8:26 was on all trumpets and mellos - and the low brass switched to high brass horns for the feature?

[@AnDream109]

Vic Firth has some “learn the music” videos from dci shows that you can look at. It would be cool to see you try some out on your channel (marimba or snare).

[@AdamTanPercussion]

@@AnDream109 I'm going to do this next week :)))

[@brianarzola]

When he paused for the timpani I thought he was going to point out the snare player who lost his drum

[@AdamTanPercussion]

I remembered reading about that before watching it but didn't spot it until later 😅

[@justinboggs3656]

Adam Tan kzbin.info/www/bejne/rYqunIVmabqIirs Just in class you wanted to see from the drummers POV

[@PurcussionBlood]

Ryan Hall he will never live it down

[@ATS123]

Yeah facts, it's probably not super noticeable for a first time watcher I guess

[@josephlockard7136]

Hi Brian

[@kevinliu5295]

At 10:04 you missed a snare drummer's drum falling off, which this is pretty cool because you can see one of the field judges pick it up and bring it back to him at around 10:32

[@AdamTanPercussion]

I wish I'd spotted it!!

[@AnDream109]

Isn’t there a head cam of it happening???

[@AnDream109]

Yep here it is: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rYqunIVmabqIirs

[@andrewcochran9943]

I saw the head am first, and then as soon as I saw this I knew it was this show

[@robpena9152]

Adam at 12:11 "so romantic." Me: oh you havent seen Crown 13' yet 😂

[@ThereaalSP]

True that ballad made me a little misty eyed the first time i watched it.

[@juicymango8400]

Impossible you say?

[@unknownartist113]

Interesting fact about the high brass feature after the ethereal exhaust pipe feature... the entire hornline is playing on high brass instruments, including tubas. That was impressive on its own because to go from that low of a range to suddenly having to play an entirely different instrument opposite of what you usually play was astounding

[@davidbangtson3109]

Loved all the double and (I'm guessing) triple tonguing. How hard must that be to do while simulatnously marching quick step, sideways and backwards, etd.? Carolina Crown is just plain amazing.

[@AdamTanPercussion]

Ridiculous amounts of hard work and skill, respect 💪

[@colelmore]

One thing you might not know from the first clip is during the show after the metallic percussion feature all of the brass is on either trumpets or mellophones so the tubas and baritones had to learn trumpet or mellophone for that feature. Pretty amazing that they were able to put that together.

[@Logaddi]

fun fact: Carolina Crown loves B♭Major/g minor scales. For example, Inferno(2015), E=mc²(2013), Out of this world(2014), Relentless (2016), It Is (2017). all in those keys for the good majority.

[@Treble_V2]

Unpopular opinion: I’m tired of hearing their shows be in the same key all the time

[@jjh2456]

rickydude133 but it works for them so why do anything different. Bb wins them Otts.

[@Logaddi]

@@Treble_V2 while i do agree, i think the fact that their music is in Bb allows them to play more challenging licks. which results in Crowns massive Brass Flex.

[@Jekkin]

@@Treble_V2 They tune in Just temperament on Bb, which is perfect for these types of horns. Since they're super in tune on Bb harmonics, they sound louder when playing those chords. Definitely gets them Otts every year for a reason.

[@anthonytroupe4923]

Arrangers have a thing. Listen to Bluecoats from the past 10 years. Since Metropolis, there's been musical development around a certain sound that came to a head in Tilt. Same with most of the world class corps. There's a set sound concept that comes through in every arrangement to highlight the features in their brass line they focus.

[@joshratsch430]

Thanks for checking out Crown! I think this is one of the best all-around shows in terms of brass, percussion, guard, as well as visual. Really crazy to think that this show got 5th (one of the strongest years in DCI as of late). It also has my favorite moment ever starting at 8:28 when all of the hornline hops on either a trumpet or a mello and then just tears the roof down. Would totally recommend making it to a show in 2021! Crown in person is even better than Crown on video.

[@dansullivanstudios]

Also - good picking up the timpani on the field, but there's like 10-15 concert bass drums and gongs all around the field as well they they use at the end ;)

[@christiangoode7069]

[@Felix-kz6bu]

Adam Tan so if I become a artist which I am going to , would it be forever or just for one episode?

[@AdamTanPercussion]

@@Felix-kz6bu forever until you decide to stop! And your name will randomly appear in certain eps :)

[@Felix-kz6bu]

Adam Tan oh so artist is forever! Yay! It’s $1.00 per episode?

[@drummersnare6276]

I like how he knew they were exhaust pipes not by how they look but by how they sound when you play on them lol

[@dansullivanstudios]

That section with the exhaust pipes is based on this Evelynn Glennie piece called Shadow Behind the Iron Sun. Check it out. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iKfMeWOHhpeGhNU

[@ATS123]

At 13:00 it's actually Jupiter from "The planets" by Gustav Holst

[@lucasb3462]

Ya

[@joseph-2028]

In this show, everyone in drumline plays snare for the opener. The other line is the original snare line and the one he is in is all bass and quad players. Very unique

[@ivanvillareal6063]

He missed the snare drummer dropping his snare in the CC show lmao.

[@mileskenobbie8628]

Cool video!

[@theoparlin8068]

He didn’t even notice that low brass switched to trumpet for the ballad

[@kendrickugalde1686]

You should consider watching open class! Gold, SCVC, Blue devils b, etc.

[@BossMann644]

This is my favorite DCI show of all time. I was just waiting until you did a review of it.

[@wren2446]

I think the cross rhythms happen because it's in 3/8 or something similar. Either way if you count in triplets it fits in easier

[@ItsJustLUiS]

I love these videos, it's so interesting to see the thoughts and perspectives of DCI from someone that is new to it :)

[@thorstyraccoon4216]

Quick question do you have perfect pitch

[@AdamTanPercussion]

Relative not perfect, but it's getting close 😅

[@thorstyraccoon4216]

Oof

[@dudewtf7]

you need to watch, crown 2013, 2015

[@Shaggychann]

I’ve had so much work from school lately that it’s been hard to watch the videos but glad to be early again 😁

If you liked the singing at the start of out of this world you should check out the e equals MC square show.

[@ethandexter9470]

Yo as a drummer we usually say dumb stuff in time for the meme lol. It helps keep time but it's also for THE MEME.

Oh boi if it wasn’t for my internet being sh*t

[@malainawilson9492]

The closer of that CC show was from my favorite brass band piece of all time Vitae Aeternum...I highly recommend checking that out. It’s amazing

[@sethestes5565]

Carolina Crown did “Out of this World” solely to open with David Bowie and close with Gustav Holst. Change my mind.

[@jarrodbriley]

As someone who marched this show and know how much controversy there was around it, it's really awesome to see someone who appreciates the complexity of this show design and orchestration.

[@TsaiSigh]

There was controversy? I thought the show was cool

[@isaiahbaggett5014]

There seemed to be a lot of deconstructed Holst, themes from the Planets here.

[@axtontackett889]

Miles kenobbie is a beast

[@xavierscheetz7389]

"It really wasn't that complicated" - *Adam after watching one of the hardest written shows in DCI history*

[@lifeloxus8182]

8:26 he doesn't even know how crazy this part is. If y'all don't know, all low brass switches to high brass. crazy

[@EvanYoungMusic]

2014 crown was the show that my university horn professor first said, “ok. Every brass group sucks, but this group is the real deal.” I taught with a bunch of folks who marched in 2013/2014 at crown. Good folks. I’ll tell you though, marching on a field, you barely can hear the crowd cheering. You are just so gassed after every production. You just hear the final applause. Lol.

[@hithere327]

The fact that he’s reacted to Metamorph twice lol

[@patrickalvarado7687]

I’m a simple person. I see Carolina crown, I click

[@macerunner4674]

same

[@dakotagodinez5763]

27:16 is actually "Peel them carrots" because that's kinda what the stick clicks look like

[@anthonybutler9123]

Did you notice at 10:09 in the video one of the battery members dropped there snare

[@NotAJollyPotato]

Praise for that hero judge at 10:04 running the snare over after it dropped

[@ilhamzahhaz8814]

20:51 yeah, you have watched this. Full show, xylophone cam, and now thisi😅✌🏼

[@agrarvideoscloppenburg764]

You forgot the part where the snare falls off at out of this world

[@cashews1016]

How could I send a Marching Band arrangement I made? If at all...

[@hunteralexander9791]

I would like to point out that at 8:27 all of the tubas and baritones/euphoniums switch to trumpets for this section so that the entire hornline is playing high brass instruments

[@macerunner4674]

I never noticed that

[@addisontice977]

Look up dci learn the beats. They play through with a score

[@walleyall5988]

Hi, Adam Tan! I know this that my question is horrifically unrelated to this video, but I wanted the best chance for you to see this. Recently my band director asked everyone in my front ensemble to work on a solo for school. Sadly the only marimba I have access to is a 4.0 octave marimba. My question for you (because I really wanted to work on one of your solos..) is whether or not any of your pieces could be played on a 4.0 octave so I know which one to purchase. I also want to say that your channel is a big reason I play marimba and I love the content! If you’re able to go out of your way to answer my question, that’d be lovely. But if not, that’s ok too. Thank you !

[@gryd3461]

those triple strokes at 25:55 were flammed so they were actually quadruple strokes

[@Ryan-lv9zp]

How can you not lift a trombone. It's the lightest brass instrument

[@jamesoester505]

Crown 2014 still got 5th that year :(

[@joseph-2028]

I wish you could join a DCA Corp. it’s an all age drum corps that’s a step below DCI

[@luisantoniohelfer8278]

"they really love the Bb major scale huh"

[@sebastianherrera1406]

you should react to some of the best high school marching band so u can see the difference between the pros and high school i highly recommend bands from Texas.

[@hunterbraun5273]

It would be cool if he reacts to hebron

[@radlikewhoa]

If you watch crown 14 you have to see my age out - cavaliers 14 “immortal”. There’s a whole marimba moment that slayed the house down. I marched color guard at cavaliers but our percussion is 🔥 every year.

[@melodilyerly8757]

My son was marching Crown, but "Immortal" was one of my favorite shows that year. That marimba feature blew my mind every time I saw it!

[@hunterbraun5273]

You should react to scv 2016 percussion or the marimba cam.

[@chrisp5219]

Oh my God this is infuriating to try to watch. If the would shut up and turn his microphone down and the performance up. Why host a channel like this if your not going to let people watch the content. Some interjection is fine but I don't think anyone wants to hear your voice droning on all the way through. I was excited to find this channel until the show started. Why would or how could you title this video saying the brass section sounds incredible when we can't barely hear it, well, we cant, at least the host can. All we hear is your voice at twice the volume of what we came here to see on the hosts advise. Video is a disappointment.😊

[@juve1182]

2011 Carolina crown....😍 you gotta watch it. Gives a little love to us synth/piano players

[@juicymango8400]

The first vid carolina crown has to be the hardest like music book to hit DCI in my opinion. Like sure it was technically easy or un-complicated but that triple-tonguing and double tonguing at the end is HARD to get down. Now I haven’t really seen many shows but just what I think rn

[@lmaogottem8050]

Your bones vibrate when you see this in person. Its amazing

[@ATS123]

Also the vocals are pretty random and there's no particular reasoning for it. Most of the time they come about by funny moments in a rehearsal

[@whosinnocent]

OK so how are you know a couple of basic rules. Rule one field judges are not allowed to disturb or to interfere with the performance by being in a performers away which gives the performer and opportunity for judges in their next spot to let him know or else he’ll get hurt. Now depending on how large the group is these could vary. Number two all shows a judge that certain criteria musicality visual effects or general effect and then the individual groups of each group. There’s awards for high brass, colorguard, percussion, musicality. Back in the day when I March I had a lucky chance to march in two out of the four sections which is contra and colorguard. So when I like to introduce people to jump car I showed him one or two of my favorite shows. The first one I recommend would be cadets 2011 show angels versus demons and Well if you want to see some crazy visuals watch cavaliers extraordinary the percussion section will blow your mind. Now If you feel like watching the the nations most talented marching bands are performers, you need to check out BOA grand national championship these are all high schools with some of the highest standards of performance a group effort at Sobo mazing shows and crazy props trust me you will not be this appointed.

[@benhummel5723]

I’m super late to seeing this, but for a little explanation. There is no rhyme or reason to the things people say during shows. As shown with the “presenting the Krabby Patty”, it can be some of the most random things. Other great examples are rue Nani na from 2015 bluecoats, also 2017 bluecoats contra head cam and euphonium head cam

[@mickeygijzen5847]

Adam, you're the only channel where I enjoy watching react videos. And yes, it's also because I love DCI.

[@oldschooldrumcorps]

Ground Control to Major Tom.....

[@chrisp5219]

And I'd say it's a commentary, not a critique. We can all see what's happening thanks.

[@drummist6212]

I believe the world renowned percussionist Evelyn Glennie arranged the percussion feature for Crown that year for this show. Maybe someone out there can verify this.

[@initiatedcrown]

marching bands don't walk. they march.

[@evelynesokhon2666]

just so you know, vocals are completely random. there is no absolutely reason for them lol they're just inside jokes or random references that people put in for fun

[@claudiacastle3190]

you can go on musescore.com and look up music scores for whatever you want as long and someone’s uploaded it! almost every drum corps show for every instrument is on there

[@patrickfoit8261]

At 10:05 the outer snare closest to the timpani loses his snare and the field judge grabs it and brings it back to him right as the brass hit happens

[@rickysalguero8]

Brass becoming guard?

[@elemgee42]

Some corps play more notes, but nobody plays more music than Carolina Crown.

[@j1dawg348]

I don't think Adam noticed the guy's snare falling off in the crown video

[@rygregory]

I love Crown shows! The vocals in any of their shows just never do it for me (I.e. 2014 and 2017). It’s just not executed well. I think if there were a corps that does vocals well are Bluecoats. With that said, you should watch 2014 Blue Devils. It’s the highest scoring DCI show of all time!

[@cashews1016]

Here

[@lucasb3462]

At 12:53 that song is an excerpt from Jupiter, by Gustav Holst

[@saucyspud1847]

You couldn’t lift a trombone? it’s not that heavy tbh

[@cannolivibraphone]

Dude my friend is a drum major in Carolina Crown

[@jjh2456]

If that wasn’t the year of Felliniesque, Crown definitely would’ve gotten another Ott. Their brass book that year was insane.

[@whymethough2701]

Honeslty, I still think they should've taken it. BD's brass was good, but Crown had the harder book and still managed to sound just as good as them. It doesn't really matter though. When hornlines are that good technically, it really comes down to who's tone you prefer.

FINALS RUN SNARECAM PLEEEEASE ADAM

[@autumnschenck9282]

29:46 If you want to get a little more of an idea of how the battery's music fits in the whole show, you should take a look at LearnTheBeats or VicFirthMarching videos. They have videos of the drumline playing with the sheet music of what they are playing. Lots of these videos are taken from In the Lot performances or also include the pit(with sheet music for them sometimes, as well). Very occasionally they have full shows, or you essentially have enough footage to get an idea of the whole show, which is super cool!

[@whosinnocent]

Oh yeah forgot to mention one of the thing so as you watch the colorguard every single member is able to spin the primary military pieces of equipment. Which is the foundation of marching band programs it is the flag which represents the groups colors well in today’s performances it helps at the mood. The saber which represents the fence and honor. Which most of the time our blunt at predominantly either white or silver metal but that doesn’t mean custom-made have been made to fit the show. And the last one is rifle which is kind of in balance so we have to rebalance it in order for spin properly as we do with all of our equipment and less kill which is a recent ad on is dance and the ability to separate the top and lower half so were the one moving to done at the same time.

[@mcclanebernshausen1929]
