WGI 2014: Upper Darby High School - In The Lot

[@gabe6959]

One of the snares was in the cadets this year

[@thisistides97]

Timpanist is there now!

[@wwew2457689]

The brother of the end quad was one of the youngest to make cadets (and c2) a couple years ago

[@flutegirl1995]

I know the pit was dirty (I have ears) but here's some perspective: there were 5 vets in the front ensemble. everyone else was new. of those 5 vets, only 3 had played their instrument the previous year: center marimba, center vibe, and guitar. so yes the front ensemble was dirty but the front ensemble was basically completely new, had never been to Dayton, had never played music at that level, I could go on and on. all of this while being in a world class ensemble. I'm a few years late to the comment party but this video has resurfaced because of memorial day and reading the negative comments disappoints me. especially since as someone said, its a high school indoor drumline (one that had never been in world class before). plus finals was definitely a lot better and that's what counts. 10th place first year in world. nothing bad about that

[@Scout819]

flutegirl1995 We had a similar situation this year for marching band, regardring new people. Pit of 13, only 3 vets. But hey, we're coming along very nicely :)

[@brothaNblue]

Hey that's just a testament to the staffs teaching ability. How often did they rehearse and for how long?

[@everleighxoxox]

@@brothaNbluerehearsed together after school two weekdays from 6-9pm, and usually Sundays 1-9pm. Sometimes Saturdays, usually the same number of hours. The week leading up to Dayton, every day after school 6-9, or even longer, and all day both days on the weekend. Either 9-5pm, 1-9pm, or 9am-9pm. Each section would practice together outside of rehearsal of course, but that wasn’t scheduled or really regimented in any way.

[@SeanMcWilliamsPercussion]

Timpani sounds amazing!

[@joyo489]

Booooo!!

[@SeanMcWilliamsPercussion]

?

[@joyo489]

Marimba's are killin

[@SeanMcWilliamsPercussion]

warped .warrior Amen to that too! :D

[@slmmjjj]

First off, for a high school, you guys sound amazing! I played at the University level and you are playing hard stuff. Excellent job basses starting at 3:52. Also I am very impressed with the pit starting at 3:38. Those are some very hard riffs! Keep up the great work!

[@templew0rker]

They were very good, really enjoyed this, thanks for sharing. Have a great day :)

[@slmmjjj]

I was section leader in high school (snare) and played on the snare line with the University of Utah. Great times! I liked marching but my passion is the drum set. I do not actively play in a band but play everyday to keep it up. My 12 year old boy is playing quads in his middle school drumline. He is way beyond where I was at his age. Proud moments for Dad! He is excited to do High School drum line in two years.

[@slmmjjj]

Honestly, I do not know. Something to look into. It would be a great experience to even attend as a spectator next year.

[@davidavery7718]

The snare were so flawless! So much respect...

[@ronredden7570]

Thanks

[@PlushChronicles]

these kids have chops

[@gwizdrmadezcansi8033]

Digging those gospel chops! At 2:42

[@sunshinedrummer3895]

I was very impressed by their show at Finals! Awesome job

[@jarrahdrum]

Absolutely Fantastic. Magical for me

[@tomshea8382]

I already like their uniforms more than 99 per cent of all the other units.

[@terratremuit4757]

Very well put together! Nice job, I like this!

[@jarrahdrum]

Cheers Brandon, I will check them out

[@jarrahdrum]

Cheers Zachary

[@naylahmarie]

I miss performing this show 😭

[@NappiMusic]

so proud to have had my foundation built at UDHS

[@RoyaltonDrummer922]

Digging the battery. The pit was a mess

[@PlushChronicles]

MadMap&TheHart This asshole has no idea what he is talking about. Pit was great as well haha idk where hes getting that

[@PlushChronicles]

No because I see you everywhere lol you're just a troll. These kids worked hard to qualify for WC. They obviously do something right.

[@PlushChronicles]

***** It's just that everytime I see you comment on a video you're always negative in some way. How? Why can't you just see the good in things? Yes I know the pit was a little dirty but who the fuck cares they made it to WC's and that's a good enough indicator that they are doing things right. Is there anything you actually like????

[@PlushChronicles]

It is because there's so few. Regardless. I guess opinions are opinions.

[@nicholaswaldron5616]

Vladimir Puhduhduh damn you’re being negative and insulting another commenter for no reason? Not helping your case here. This show was great and it had a really touching message. If you wanna critique it and tell them how to improve, apply for a job to work with them 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@HartsChannel]

Man, that guitar player is performing the hell out of this.

[@TheGhoogle]

I think the music for the battery and pit don't fit almost like they're two different shows thrown together.

[@jarrahdrum]

Cheers :-)

[@zachopdenaker7848]

1:49 dat thumbroll

[@jarrahdrum]

Echo's of Zappa

[@BigWesLawns]

yes! i'd like to know the title and composer.

[@dansullivanstudios]

+Akwardtopicz :3 Yeah Jason didn't write any music.

[@tomshea8382]

Like the military uniforms. How about some that fit next time?

[@wwew2457689]

Righttt 😩😂 they were soooo unflattering. We should’ve been in fatigues since we were supposed to be the soldiers memories of war, and the soldier “coming home” should’ve been in blues. Made no sense, but hey, too late now lol.

[@Vater1]

😍😍

[@trenkill2221]

La wea hermosa

[@zephyer21]

Pit, holy nodes. Playing zones man, not there.

[@SnareForever]

I don't like that their laughing every time xD

[@realitywatch21]

Just having fun. Do you drum? You should know.

[@SnareForever]

yes I drum, no I don't laugh the whole time, cause I think it doesn't look good :P

[@joo199]

It's called visual effect. What they are achieving in terms of face, reaching something we call box 5. It's all part of the score sir. You obviously haven't marched WGI

[@SnareForever]

no I Haven't xD but you say it like every wgi group is doing that but I don't see rhythm x smiling or pulse, matrix, rcc, .........

[@joo199]

mmhmm! its cause your face has to match the theme of the show! :) if its an intense show, intense face, etc

[@7032jd]

Haha Me

[@jarrahdrum]
