They have such a huge sound for such a small group

[@worcestershirey]

G bugles man, they're built different. Literally, it's much easier to play loud on a G bugle than it is a Bb marching horn. On the flipside, it's harder to actually sound good on a G bugle than it is a Bb instrument, so when a G bugle line (like The Commandant's Own) is in tune, it's quite impressive. This isn't a "G bugles good, Bb instruments bad" post, but after coming into possession of an old bugle and comparing it to its Bb marching counterpart, I can really see why a G bugle line is so much louder. If I tried to play the same dynamic on the bugle and the Bb horn, I'd be putting a lot more effort into producing that level of sound on the Bb horn.

​@@worcestershirey, even when everyone was playing on G, the Marines were known for their big sound. Even with competitive groups, it's more about how students are taught to play than the instrument itself.

[@anthonykaiser974]

​@@davidwarner3326that and the " "Commandant's Own" are paid professional military musicians who are on long term contracts.

Once a tuba always a tuba.

The tradition of corps sound, visual, movement, discipline is amazing. Blows all of the corps out there away.

[@MicahtheDrumCorpsPseudoboomer]

[@mssavage6927]

When they don't have to do much to say a lot means Master Class.

[@etothej]

I have to say, I like the arrangement they did in 2022 better. But still great!

[@MicahtheDrumCorpsPseudoboomer]

How can the contras see the drum major during the national anthem?

[@alfiocco8380]

They should compete with a dci corps

[@mickeygijzen5847]

I remember another corps play the battery closing statement from 1:58 but I can't think of the one who did it. Anyone knows?

[@mickeygijzen5847]

Found it. Cadets 2012

[@alfiocco8380]

god’s musicians

[@Lov3n_smiles]

Everything about this performance was sexy! Semper Fi!

[@asherdillon]

They finally posted it

[@kh_167]

Oorah and have a Good Morning

[@jeremyquiros5483]

What manufacturer does the bugle line play on? Are they still using Kanstul? I know they shut their doors several years back.

[@Miyamotospoop13]

They were made by BAC who now owns all of the old kanstul tooling

[@sceu25]

All BAC, other than the Mellos which are still on Kanstul 2V’s

[@brassaddict]

OORAH

[@TheAKIMELLO]

Why do they continue to use only mellophones and 2 valves?

[@kmabru]

I read a while back that they have the 3 valve mellophones, but they were having problems with them. They switched back to the 2 valve mellophones until they can work out the kinks with the 3 valve.

[@Pedantic1953]

The glockenspiel, chimes and bells, have no place in a Drum and Bugle Corps of this caliper. JMO.

[@dfmanza]

It's the new style

[@Pedantic1953]

@@dfmanza style Schmile! I’m old school and I don’t have to like it! 😄
