Blue Devils and Cavaliers-Champions Fanfare (Simple Gifts)

[nightmareofsolomon]

The Music of the Æsir!!

[MBlood08]

They need to bring this back. Not to sound unAmerican, but this destroys America the beautiful and Battle Hymn of the Republic.

[AllStater09]

1:19 random trumpet blares out... horribly 

[zukavatar]

Epic chord ring. :D

[lemmon1313]

i dont think that C was an overtone

[fartguy1172]

the contras at 1:24 sound sick

[coolestnameavailable]

two best corps imo

[CPTkirk100]

WOW Amazing! really beautiful

[RainMan137]

that modulation @ 1:06 still drives me crazy man

[jonah12321]

@RainMan137 key change....

[madmananarchist]

More contra!!!!!

[davidsmmb]

you can always use more contra!

[silkaem]

Man, that double G was crazy.

[genesis344]

I was deciding whether that was an overtone or not. And if it wasn't an overtone it was higher than a GG.

[Burgerbob22]

I can hear a dubba C for sure. Maybe a little much for an overtone.

[pbholden]

.....Of course it sounds like an overtone...there are two drum corps playing...since when have you played a double C clearly over 200 some-odd other people?

[genesis344]

MPA Jazz warmup room. Gotta love 4 reeds man. THE POWAH!

[Burgerbob22]

Ummm, never? I'm a baritone player. Jesus. It was in tune and you could hear it- it's all good.

[08kecarv]

@pbholden Theres no way in hell that was an overtone, that was all BD. Besides, overtones don't gliss ;)

[wannaplaytrmptjmu]

@pbholden g's below double C's over, many times, double C's none

[wannaplaytrmptjmu]

@genesis344 a double G not quite. There have only been a few trumpet players to go through DCI period that can play a double G above double C and even that would be a little hard for these guys after playing alot for a while. was definitely a double C not a double G

[genesis344]

@wannaplaytrmptjmu Just played it on my piano. It's a Double Bb. Insanity! xD

[qpalzmxnskwieudjcnvb]

now dont get me worng i love saxes(sax player) but i love low brass too.!!!!

[nogalAhpesoJ94]

that double g was sick

[RainMan137]

Damn that Trumpet double G at the end is sick...that guy must have some sick lungs. But the modulation at 1:07 is by far my favorite part!

[euphoniummharon007]

this is awesome! my two favorite corps are playing with each other! this is so cool as hell LOL!!!

[wcboy94]

haha

go drumline!!!

lol

j/k

[mikey4708]

trumpet ftw

[lolz989]

go trumpets!

[trumpetfreak5]

you might have a good double g if you can play it over that many ppl

[Natoko]

Absolutely amazing! GO LOW BRASS! [Trombone, myself]

[retardedwhale]

hah sucks for you that drum corps can't have trombones in them :D

[biggreenblob]

i know right? but thats how it is. trombones quite simply are not bugles.

[wowcybreal]

They might not have trombones but they do have baritones (Which i myself play)

[bandgeekgarcia]

no shit really??????

fuckin dumbass this is dci

[FSUfanOFtheBAND]

But now I have to learn Baritone all over again lol. My band director switched me to trombone in 7th grade.

[fraggle0rock]

Thats amazing...they all play fantastically! (However, I'm in low brass so obviously I favor them over high brass)

[beak1972]

Eupho player here....=) I agree, but if its Brass...it kicks ass!!!!

[fraggle0rock]

=D of course! I play baritone and euphonium so its all cool =)

[Scolypet]

Not in bugle corps, but I agree with you here. Trombone player at your service =)

[TakerFan55]

Of course low brass owns all! Im a freshman at my high school band and were playing this show and were going to BOA: Atlanta and Grand Nats. im so psyched! (T-Bone and Baritone player here)

[bandnerdvalaree]

beautiful.

[billyflop12]

man i love playing in domes.. the ringing afterwards is awesome

[Burgerbob22]

Unless you're actually marching a show, of course.

[MadCoSnareLine]

OMG I march CorpsVets and we're playing this for our show! I LOVE IT!!!!

[keastervbn]

damn coolest arc I've ever seen.

and i liek the screaming at the end.

[1OOYears]

Did BD win or Cavies?

[pbholden]

2006 - Cavaliers won

[1OOYears]

thanks... :)

[idontcarewatuthink]

that is beautiful, especially in the georgia dome. i love to march and watch other bands in it because of all of the resonance and reverb. same with the rca dome. hopefully the new dome will be just as good.

[Fishburn]

Is atlanta getting a new dome? I thought they were just repainting the outside.

[bradporky16]

no...indy is getting a new one, to replace the RCA dome. the new one is also the new home of the Drum Corps International National Champianship for the next ten years

[PCMB4LyFE]

Except for this year :(

[idontcarewatuthink]

yes, and i will be there.

[TakerFan55]

no indy is getting a new dome the colts are getting a new stadium instead of the RCA dome, its called Lucas Oil Stadium, thats where BOA: Grand Nationals are gonna be this year

[illBUrFriend]

I just love how they sound... :D

[Kedarispimp]

dam thats deep....beautiful

[twoshy21]

Does anyone miss when every corps would retreat off one by one playing their signature song as they left?

[corpsbum]

Yes! I hated it when corps were too lazy to started playing themselves off the field to a portion of their show. It was usually too fast a tempo for them to march off the field to, and it got really sloppy looking. The corps anthems made it much more special.

[Japnoyboi3]

How come its just BD and Cavs playing?

[228player]

back in 03, i think they started choosing 2 corps playing the encores... at least that's what was happening when I marched Memphis Sound.

[Japnoyboi3]

thanks

[betaomega04]

They don't do retreat the same way anymore. Instead they select two corps' to play this arrangement and then one corps does an encore performance. They started doing this in 2005 because the same three corps' were having to stay late for ever single show that they won. So now, everything is pre-planned

[corpsbum]

I bet no one has ever, ever heard a corps complain about having to stay and do the victory concert. The staff and boosters maybe, but they always enjoyed the victories too, just staying up late for them was harder (those old geezers you know!)

[betaomega04]

The actual playing of the encore is cool; but the one thing we frown upon is that it takes up so much more time that you could spend driving to the next show site, but more importantly, time that you could spend sleeping on a flat surface. But who am I to complain...sleep is over-rated in drum corps, right?

[SevenKdrummer]

This is so powerful.

I love it!

[kelseygirl2312]

I was there! It was completely amazing.

[JakobderLugner]

rawr, audio makes the top sops stick out too much. otherwise, amazing!

[nathanownage]

yo ik speel bij dap de kwint

[Japnoyboi3]

Aaron Copland Makes Nice MUSIc....^O^

[MDLtenorline]

that is a lot of fuckin brass.. i would love to here them just all wail.. i would shit myself

[Japnoyboi3]

Nice, BD and Cavaliers

[dividedguy]

tis a gift to be simple tis a gift to be free tis a gift to be in the motherfucking BD............................

[JSB741]

If it sucks so bad, why is it getting 5 stars with 12 ratings? Nad.

Nice video. GOD, I miss doing that. :)

[fobulousfl1p]

geez. being spread out so wide like that. amazing.

[NickyVeee]

the only reason why this sucks is you put the Cavis and BD together. big big mistake.

[LovicktheDestroyer]

i was talking to some of my friends on tour and they said no one likes the champions fanfare. They played an encore with BD they said BD just sang and told jokes. No one likes the change.

[abda53]

i believe it. lol

[JpnsKid808]

i don't really like aaron copeland's music...but they make appalachian spring sound awesome

[c2dinc]

Amen blocke5615.

[blocke5615]

Wow, when these corps can't bring a piece to life...there's not much else to do other than burn it.

[ccrtw88]

That was a sweet competition. I was hoping they would play more than just the fanfare...

[Zack7705]

Yeah it sucked that there was no encore. I assume cause of the rain delay, but who cares? Nobody cared that it was late.
