DCI Blue Devils Hornline Warms Up With Space Chords

[SteelTbn]

Wow! I absolutely love the panoramic transition between chords! I can only image how epic it must sound live from where the conductor is standing!

[Pianogod2]

My pants became a legitimate toilet just now. :-D

[42elliott]

chord change at 1:42

:)

[Coloski360]

The first piece they play is Autumn by John M. Meehan. My band plays it for warm up.

[yotzincastrejon]

autumn is such a beautiful song especially played by BD

[soundofsilence2263]

my bands playing space chords this year I fee quite honored :D

[bucktoofus]

You're all wrong. It's pluto.

[mert16]

I have been a drummer/percussionist my entire life. I could not respect this more though... Such an amazing sound...

[yunolks3]

[jimisback]

Sorry but a Jim Ott Line it was not. The end was WEAK !!!

[Bladeboy311]

@jimisback the end is written that way its supposed to be more quiet

[JonnyHammersticks]

@TheMrSpanks One of my all time favorite videos. In person it's 100x better.

[dave62hood]

After listening to Mars, I stand corrected. Funny, a friend made me listen to space chords, I read some comments and discovered Holst. Thanks for the upload and for the correction.

[JTSHHS]

Would anyone happen to know the mellophone part to this???

[mafdude68]

That Chorale is soooo beautiful........

[dave62hood]

It's actually Gustav Holst's Jupiter, not Mars.

[JonnyHammersticks]

@dave62hood Trust me it's Mars. I've played both.

[tmmyboy124]

@JonnyHammersticks This is actually "Space Music." There's snippets of lots of things, Mars included.

[JonnyHammersticks]

@tmmyboy124 We were talking about what the contras are playing at 1:05. But yes, you are correct sir.

[firefly09td]

@JonnyHammersticks At the very beginning I do believe that that is jupiter.... till the space oddessy bit at 0:55 xD

[LiLBraynshock]

@JonnyHammersticks yep, definitely mars

[StraightNoChaser86]

@dave62hood They start of with Jupiter, the osinato the lower brass start playing is from Mars

[tjemsley]

@dave62hood You're wrong. It's Mars.

[Tuba408Bass]

@dave62hood It's mars. The intro for the trumpets sounds similar to jupiter but it isn't.

[leemcd56]

I love that brass chorale at the beginning. Autumn sounds so nice.

[Houndsofwar46]

I'm a sophmore trumpet player........l feel inferior when l watch these lololololol

[threecheers5]

that release was ridiculous. best brassline in dci. period.

[JTSHHS]

This is exactly why I am dying to audition for DCI...

[JonnyHammersticks]

@JTSHHS Best of luck, man.

[JTSHHS]

@JonnyHammersticks Thanks! I'm looking forward to it

[saxophone2005]

does anyone know of any more band warm ups that are even better than this one????

[JonnyHammersticks]

@jkman10

/watch?v=L0bcRCCg01I&feature=r­elated

[jkman10]

@JonnyHammersticks I still don't hear this part in his suite? Did the Blue Devils slow it down here? Or are they playing the exact excerpt?

[tacos931s]

what?!?! a BD screamer releasing on 1?!?!

[88Drumline]

Thanks for putting this back up! Outstanding!!

[Hector95100]

so when he holds up finger wat does that mean, measure number? and what are the tubas doing at 1:06

[JonnyHammersticks]

@Hector95100 I think it signifies what chord to play. Also, they're playing an excerpt from Mars by Gustav Holst.

[DrStrangefate]

@JonnyHammersticks

Contras play that 5/4 line don't they?

[uglyfacedave]

A-MAZING. this is what awesome sounds like.

[ClubHertzog]

I love Space Chords so much.... Proof that there is a god.

[Lvin4Him]

I wish our band had a hornline that big so we could play it.... Dang! so epic!!!!

[JTSHHS]

@Lvin4Him Its not so much the size of the hornline, just that they're all BEASTLY players that can blast

[BergerKing064]

I love you so much for putting this back up.

[Lvin4Him]

indeed

[Pimpin7717]

no matter how much i dont like BD's shows, this will always impress me.

1Luv

Pimpin7717

[JonnyHammersticks]

Agreed. I've always been a Cavaliers fan as far as overall showmanship/performance goes.

[TheKingofBastards]

Power moderated with taste and precision. The only way to go.

[JonnyHammersticks]

Some people man... have no respect. Gotta delete the idiot's comments.

[JonnyHammersticks]

Just as a heads up, any negative comments will be removed. Love, don't hate.

[DrumMaster375]

Thank you for uploading this video again! This was my favorite BD hornline video and I was sad when it was taken down. Definitely the best video out there.

[TheShannnOnn]

The beginning is BEAUTIFUL! nice tone, harmony, just absolutely amazing! and NO wrong notes!!!(which I love!)...it's just magnificent!!!

[jkman10]

This is my favorite rendition of space chords.

[johndeever]

@jkman10 nobody is screaming and cheering (we all want to), no uniforms, no audio overload blowing out/fuzzing up the mike. Only being there could be better. Except if I were, when the chord resolves I would pass out.

[NigelPRagtime]

freakin beautiful
