This is Mike Jackson's world and we're all just living in it.

[@iamscooterdude720]

I really appreciate seeing a member of the drumline be the dancer instead of just a dancer.

[@gbrlbqrn]

+IAmScooterDude720 Bass 1 is also a dancer. It's like how rcc has an amazing visual package too.

[@1Co118]

Incredible! Music that serves the story. Drumming that serves the music - not flashy, not overdone, but clear and well-written. Thank you!

[@hap328]

Amazed by the key feature starting around 5:28, especially because it's not just 16th note runs. Phrasing and expression is off the charts. So many exposed attacks. So rhythmically interesting and challenging. Great communication side to side. Bravo.

[@MyDrummer93]

Thanks guys for the love and support means a lot!

[@micahstokes2556]

this is the first time I've ever seen something this amazing! What caught my attetntion most was the use of TWO drumsets, and that just made me salivate all over the computer screen!

[@T1tanz]

Bungy Booce That's Sean Cunningham for you

[@PayneKrunk]

to medal your first year in world class is impressive as crap.

[@nicmontell3435]

This was this group's 3rd season in world class, but 1st season under a new name. Previously know as Orange County Independent, that name is now used for the organization's open class group.

[@PayneKrunk]

oh wow I didnt know that. That puts things in better perspective. Thanks for clearing that up for me

[@SnareMax90]

RX won open class their inaugural year RCC won world their inaugural year

[@wh1tefang2]

+Nicolas Montell Yes Broken City's predecessor is OCI but its still an entirely new group with a different style.

[@grantbutters448]

+Spradley_Did_it yea how many world groups were there then?

[@JCoww]

so much hype for this group back at SCPA glad they finally pulled it off. From the ashes of Orange County Independent rose a new challenge to the major groups. Also, so much surprise with this group medaling since they jumped from 17th in 2015 to 3rd in 2016;rip rhythm x fans and MCM fans

[@lilacclouds9438]

Even though Mcm had the lowest placement they're EVER had in history of them competing, it will be the lowest they will ever go. The flame is not ever and will never be

[@germy7176]

​@@lilacclouds9438 This aged poorly

[@DaltonMcCleery]

LOVE LOVE LOVE the dueling drumsets!

[@Bladewolf101]

I remeber watching Broken city live for the first time my freshman year and they really inspired me to be the drummer I am today

[@Leonlion0305]

I always love either wgi or dci shows where the performance grabbed my attention and let me forget how long the time have passed

[@adamholm2436]

4:33-4:52 reminded me why I watch WGI

[@xxzhoutaixx]

+Adam Holm I don't get it

[@paigecsizmadia6373]

The cymbal feature😏

[@irfbjifi3rufbui3bf35]

Brian Nguyen hes talking about the pit feature

[@Jbell_drums300]

[@elektryk1576]

Ok, now I'm crying, I didn't expect so many emotions from a marching band

[@brenterickson9653]

chills. wow.

[@keyowilson5695]

These guys came out of nowhere. My goodness.

[@noaht5157]

Not really lol...

[@Queeze101]

@@noaht5157 Yeah really lol

[@TsaiSigh]

@@Queeze101 they existed prior under a different name.

[@MrTyranitar15]

Presenting, the 2016 WGI Blue Knights snareline.

[@Severen45]

Only 3 of them were BK guys. The rest weren't in Blue Knights but just have marched under Mike Jackson before.

[@MrTyranitar15]

[@EthanV13]

[@JovanniPacasWorsham]

I hope they win it this year!

[@PaulJK95]

Wow great marching by the snare drummer in front at 5:03

[@katiesimpson7982]

I saw them live at finals... how did I miss the fact that they have two set players? Cool!

[@charlenesu5601]

I aspire to perform like them

[@benvought6009]

Man the snare line is great, interested in why the became so good in one year, I know they were Orange County but they weren't this good!!!🎼👌

[@emergenciadeuda]

They got some members of Pulse to stack the line. The drum set player also if you notice is from BD 15' 16' and RCC 14'

[@zacziegler9]

+Benjamin Vought A lot Mike Jackson's Blue Knights followed him here. It's dope.

[@VicFirthCompany]

+bryan harris (sevren45) Lot videos coming soon!

[@chasemanhart]

So groovy

[@Charlie-ib2vk]

Where can i find the song that they used in this show?

[@tyshoe]

If you listen super close at 4:40, you can hear the drumset player named tyger says "whooo"

[@johnjordan4040]

Playing is amazing...snares are so exposed!!! But having a hard time with getting the concept. Help?

[@prostreetcarbon]

Agreed! Very amazing playing and performance from them! if you go to alexanderlee1012.tumblr.com there's a take on a former rcc member's perspective on what the show is about. i believe it to be pretty accurate as well.

[@prostreetcarbon]

+john jordan

[@emergenciadeuda]

+John Jordan One of the lines which is important is "An invisible life deserves an equally invisible death."

[@kelseysmurphy3963]

what is the song at the end?

[@bunnyboybooty5634]

What song is it that they use for beginning?

[@adamwattsmusic]

It's called "REBORN" from my album "WAY OUT"... :)

[@solvency]

Was Marc A. apart of this line¿

[@paigecsizmadia6373]

Does anyone know the base song they used for their show?

[@BornVillain14]

Reborn and Motherfather by Adam Watts.

[@paigecsizmadia6373]

Thank you so much.

[@chrisnott7686]

What is the marimba rhythm at 3:30?

[@arekususan]

+Chris Nott Judging off the 6/8 feel, sounds like triplets grouped in pairs.

[@timmydodd1978]

I've never seen 2 drum set players in pit in one ensemble before.

[@shellydon1785]

Lyrics?

[@IronMarz52]

What's the song that this show is based around?

[@Canadiensfan28]

There's parts of reborn and motherfather, both by Adam watts

[@basequeira]

+Canadiensfan28 thank you I've been looking for the songs since I heard it at finals

[@Canadiensfan28]

+Byron Sequeira no problem

[@nickquaaan]

+Canadiensfan28 Also a motif of last year's song, Bloom by Adam Watts.

[@alessandrochecchinato2982]

Wow!!!👌🏻😂😱😱😱

[@maxalvarado726]

and i always question this. WHAT DO THOSE PROPS MEAN!

[@kevinbarbano]

they are enlarged "tank barriers" like in WW2. They are keeping them confined within their "cage," that's my take on them!

[@sackybaritone7962]

mapex ?

[@BCmachine]

drumset players gett'n it

[@zxcvbnmasdfghjkl9439]

what about darmonth highschool

[@VicFirthCompany]

+el soundiest kzbin.info/www/bejne/bIbIc6adiqiBnpY

[@ChrisM-dx8up]

Honestly, broken city is more blue knights indoor then the actual blue knights indoor.

[@theedxx]

Can anyone transcribe the lick from 1:22-1:26?

[@brenterickson9653]

a dotted eighth note, and then a sixteenth note, and then an eighth note, and then repeat it all over again

[@theedxx]

+Brent Erickson perhaps youd have sticking?

[@brenterickson9653]

+TheEDMPotato R..RL.L..LR.%

[@Sam-dk9kf]

What sticks do the snares use

[@brycebutton4949]

promark BYOS oval tips

[@Sam-dk9kf]

Bryce Button But they're Vic Firth😑

[@brycebutton4949]

[@Sam-dk9kf]

Bryce Button look at them in the lot

[@scorpionkid991]

+Yor Madrio Makes sense on why they're not here. Thanks

[@Dippyffresh]

If there were two drum set players who played with the pit for exercises

[@inoiz9061]
