DCI 2009 - Santa Clara Vanguard Brass in the lot @ Walnut, CA - 6/20/2009

[Jamler3]

Sound to Silence @ 1:07 Soooooooo Goooood

[biancamercedes94]

Amazing. 3

[thetenslow]

best hornline that year.

[ImADrummer07]

wow..this is really High Def!!!



[stevybob1]

I could not conduct like that in sandals..

[iguessimoscar]

Watching this earlier this year made me want to audition for an open class corps to prepare for this specific corps. Gold to Vanguard (someday)

[limegut]

@iguessimoscar I would advise against using a corps as a stepping stone. Gold is a very entertaining and talented corps, so don't you let yourself treat it as a rung. Says a person who marched in the Velvet Knights last year, and is in the SCV this year :)

[iguessimoscar]

@limegut I've been at the corps for 3 years now, I just want to be there by age-out year. Just a dream of mine.

[limegut]

@iguessimoscar 3 years is a long time, that is very honorable. I hope to see you audition and make it next year.

[iguessimoscar]

@limegut Maybe not next year, one more year and I'll go

[TheHunterRoberts]

Jizzed In My Pants....

[JTSHHS]

Ear porn. I was aurally raped.

[iPhreeze]

Andre Feagin is the music professor at our university!!!!!! UTEP!

[Excapted]

This makes me wanna strip naked, burst out of my window, free fall 28 floors, faceplant in the snow, make a snow angel mixed with my own blood, shiver from the cold, get hypothermia, DIE, go the pearly gate, say wuzzup to Jesus, do our secret hand shake, look for Buddha, find him, have him reincarnate me into a frog, meet a princess, kiss her, turn into a prince, order my subjects to bring me a computer, listen to this song again, cry myself to sleep. Wake up.. Repeat. Man, how I love SCV

[bmx391xmb]

dare to be great.

[lickplay]

This guys my band director. UTEP!

[SThomas992]

Anyone have the sheet music for this? Beautiful...

[johnrayy]

......that release

[Krissy20043]

Love me some Santa Clara!!!

[10champb]

The conductor here is now the caption head at Academy

[SThomas992]

@10champb that explains why the Academy was so much stronger this year and why they were making that big push for Finals

[cjm5063]

@SThomas992

Not quite; What's happening is that this guy is going to Academy and the guy that's been at Academy is going to Regiment between the 2011 to 2012 seasons

[SThomas992]

@cjm5063 Wait I thought this guy was at the Academy for 2011 and was going to Regiment this year.

[cjm5063]

@SThomas992

The guy in the video is Andre Feagin. He's with Academy for this season. Carichner is the new caption head at Phantom. He was with Academy from 2006-11. You can look at Phantom and Academy's website for the stories.

[du24pont70]

EPIC!!!!!

[flubberjibbel]

goose mother fucking bumps

[Krissy20043]

I absolutely love this band and the warm up piece... So meaningful!!!

[argga]

I love how Andre Feagin puts his heart and soul into the conducting. I can tell how much he loves music and it is shown through these young people!

[ItsThatToolGuy]

that is absolutely beautiful

[golfdad75]

Does anybody else think that most people wave their hands in Drum Corps instead of conduct.

[theDEVILdog0300]

I got my fix

[cbkuhlman]

7 people are from BD, wishing they could be this awesome.

[milroxsox]

@cbkuhlman fuck you.

[hellosirsful]

It's 1:38 AM here, I just screamed "HOLY FUCK" at 1:03... so climatic.  The conductor is... inspiring, I'm at a loss of words

[datbandguy]

beautiful

[ca5tr0100]

Oh my! Flipping awesome!!

[RMSbandof10]

the best quality instruments in the world

[MrKomKast]

 that was BEAUTIFUL

[PHSMustangSAXPlayer]

OVERTONES!!!

[RoyFlores09]

This chord progression made a tear fall down my cheek like for real! :)

And with a 30 second crescendo!! Omg! JIZZ!!!

[BabylonAGoGo]

7 misinformed individuals, sadly.

[cone256]

@BabylonAGoGo Probably Blue Devil fans

[400adub]

man this is my favorite chord progression type warm up on youtube, i can't WAIT to be apart of scv in a few years!!! 

[Excapted]

I paused my porn for this!

[xthesteven21x]

almost brings tears to my eyes. so great.

[JamesMichaelFox]

daayyyyum

[ruezgab]

This conductor came to work with us...and ohh man...he is intense...

[cybrwolf0]

Watching this with my 2 year old son on my surround sound. volume at 35 out of 50 he has to turn it more...DCI runs in the family

[VDJx003]

"Did you get your fix?" Priceless...

[pdaly1995]

He is a godly conductor!!

[bamacrzy92]

7 people dont know what a great DCI horn line sounds like

[bmx391xmb]

chills every time.

[benmc12]

1:03 grabbed my balls pretty hard.

[djc4n]

@benmc12 i read that right when it happened,,, i was like OOOOOOOOOOOO :))))))))))

[elcompamonti]

I'm so lucky to say that this man stepped into our lot and worked with us. It was a once in a lifetime experience.

[captaintubbs55]

One of the greatest things I have ever seen or heard. I love this.

[KC816KC]

Wow.. I guess no cigarettes are allowed In SCV.. That hold was pretty damn long.

[bcbandie4ever]

WOW! This makes me want to join a corps really bad. :,(

[benmc12]

damn...

[brassblast]

1:20 "did you get your fix?" haha!

[Noclo]

Is it me or can anyone else hear the trumpet octave?

[jazztrumpetman]

@Noclo thats an overtone sir. =)

[Noclo]

@jazztrumpetman Ahhh, very well. Thank you.

[chaosdude14]

@Noclo Sounds like a fricken strong overtone

[bmx391xmb]

what is this an excerpt from?

[bradporky16]

@bmx391xmb this is from the 2009 show "Ballet for Martha". more specifically, midway through Scene 1.  The progression is the same as the show, but the volume and the tempo are not.

[bradporky16]

[BluePhantomCavalier]

[laduzi2]

[kabbay]

i think he was a guess at a spring band camp at my school a few years ago! it sounds like him.. and he has the same energy:P

[celiarebecca]

i watch this every few weeks just to feel the awesomeness.

[400adub]

@celiarebecca same here :)

[icepuente]

@celiarebecca I watch this like every 10 minutes just to feel the awesomeness

[MsMimi39]

[400adub]

@celiarebecca same here

[ladysquier]

WHOA WUT.

[dramaboyz2007]

[emernater]

[BetoDiazT]

[TheManOfTheBeard]

DAMN!!!

[thatguy0744]

I loved that show



[sugarcollie]

I can die happy now.

[idrumfofun1100]

Pwn.

[UesugiVincentibanez]

1:04 to 1:10 was just beautiful... :')

[saxboi94]

That cutoff gave me goosebumps

[chaosdude14]

@saxboi94

listen to the release, trumpet hung over

[utsuxrooster]

@chaosdude14 Don't be a douche. The L.A. Phil doesn't cut off perfectly everytime.

[theaws0m3guy]

Okay, I think that Santa Clara Vanguards have the most,beautiful, symphonic?, orchestral?, sound out of all the corps. I just can't describe it! Their sound always makes me tear up. :)

[chrisfin072493]

(": such good memories

[MrMystiriousman]

I had headphones on while I listened to this... And I bursted into tears at the end of it! That's just how beautiful it was!

[refrigerator111]

Aw man...that did NOT resolve the way I expected it to, and I can't stop listening to that crescendo.

[Saxpwner]

@refrigerator111 Yeah it seriously switched tonality. i was liek wtf. I thought they would do one more chord to end it but they just stopped like pfft whatever. Still awesome though.

[stinkypooman]

one of those things u just gotta see to believe.

that cutoff could have been a bit cleaner though

[NotCowell]

@stinkypooman - ru saying one of the horns didn't cutoff with the rest of the hornline? cause i think after listening to it a few times i heard a trumpet hangover just a little . . . Still though ... on of the greatest parking lot I've seen.

[NotCowell]

@stinkypooman - @stinkypooman - ru saying one of the horns didn't cutoff with the rest of the hornline? cause i think after listening to it a few times i heard a trumpet hangover just a little . . . Still though ... one of the greatest parking lot vids I've heard and seen.

[camocommando5]

@NotCowell  i think i heardd it too

[NotCowell]

@camocommando5 ... yeah.. really faint cause my ears were ringing hahaha or was it the ringing in my ears that i though was the bad cut off ?? hehe

[stinkypooman]

@NotCowell

yeah, one of the trumpets. i say "cutoff could have been a bit cleaner tho" as if its an easy thing to do, but when your playing at full blast like that, it becomes exponentially more difficult to get a good cutoff. im sure these guys dont practice maxed out that often, and at that level of perfection, the smallest error is really exposed.

but a point worth mentioning nonetheless.

[ivan1127]

Anyone know the name of the guy conducting?

[doraslilhitman]

@ivan1127 andre feagin, brass caption head.

[ivan1127]

@doraslilhitman

Thanks man.

[lsuman93]

One sec as I wipe the jizz off my screen

[Travs64]

I kid you not, my nipples got hard at the end and I"m a guy. This can only give you true appreciation of the talent that goes into drum corps.

[shadowassasin228]

did anyone else hear the opera singers in the last chord?

[HMKGman1]

What lense did you use? 50mm?

Great camera! I have the same one!

[brutalmilkdud]

that cut off was horrible but other than that it was great.

[JTSHHS]

7 people were preparing to press the like button at 1:04, but their minds exploded and they hit dislike instead.

[johnrayy]

omg

[beetrobot]

Hes my band director at UTEP :]

[guitarvibe75]

How can anyone dislike this? I just don't understand this world anymore..

[JTSHHS]

@guitarvibe75 they would be Blue Devils fans who only want to hear Space Chords.

[TWBaltz]

The word beautiful doesn't even give this justice.

[sohmdaddy]

Sent chills down my spine. what an awesome group of musicians.

[Cronaldo02]

I will make this corps one day. My name, ahmad. Instrument, Marimba. one day

[dagstur]

Someday I will march this corps...someday

[tellysworld]

@dagstur Come to Santa Clara and try out then. If you love SCV, you should march SCV. I did.

[Bootscv11]

@tellysworld What year?

[chsdrums012]

and i... JIZZED. IN. MY PANTS.

[kingchick34]

wow really good video.. not shaky or anything...

[whereswill1]

Thank you thank you thank you thank you.... !!!! I so miss the parking lots before shows where I gained so many memories... SCV 92-93,95-96... Thanks, again.

[Sharod101]

Phantom > Vanguard :P haha but Vanguards pretty sick

[angelpuppy24]

Canon<3

SCV<3

magical. :D

[marthwert]

drum corps are good but only when you have alot of people in it, thats why i prefer a regular ol band :p

[MrTjames94]

go santa clara that beautiful the wolf pack marching band has your vote

[brutusln]

I miss real conducting like this. Where you can see the passion.

[freakykhanh]

@brutusln well andre does have/ is getting a doctorate in conducting i think hes awesome

[bhgblackmamba1]

@brutusln that would be andrea fegan. he recently did a honor band, where i got to perform under him. we played galop by shostakovich...never have i EVER seen a man get that into it. Completely 1000000000000% agree

[AWiddit]

@brutusln how bout you go to the symphony every once in a while

[WldIrishRose]

Ballet for Martha was soooo beautiful! But, Andre Feagin is working his magic again this year with Bartok!! Amazing and gorgeous in its own way. Go SCV! Bartok is a gem!!

[SmashingTrumpets]

Man I love this video. Quality is great. Both of the corps and the camera. Does anybody else hear a Major 7th creep in and out of the long chord? Maybe in like the high mellophone. =)

[deezel2013]

This guy was my high school band director man. Two national wind symphony championships for an inner city school in Memphis...There could not have been a better thing happen to that school

[summerwind90]

this almost makes me cry every time... tears of joy that is... =) Music is what moves the soul and mends broken hearts. I am so glad we all get the share the experience.

[HachiHaruChika101]

SANTA CLARA!!!!!!! VANGGUUUUARRRRDDD!!!!

[JazzNaySean]

omfg those releases 

[Phantom663]

SCV never fails to impress

[bamacrzy92]

screw the camera. how about that crescendo and cut off. WOW. gave me the chills.

[multigenremusician]

OMG! this camera quality. i NEED to get one

[lightningweasel]

holy crap gave me chills

[ThatGuyWithTehMusic]

What is this music from? I swear I've heard it before, but I just can't put my finger on it.

Amazing quality. SCV sounds like an orchestra on steroids.

[Tgoon1]

SVC had one of the more musical Hornlines this year (and that I've ever heard from them!!). This coming from a Phantom Phan. Great job Santa Clara!!

[SaugusHighMB]

Going to this show this year! SO EXCITIED :]

[Dmitri8ydna]

Its As If Theres A Tiny Black Guy In Front Of My Computer Monitor.

[strangetml]

crazy camera....omg

[defdeezy]

wow 

[music2191]

Dear lead sop, i love you and thank you for that amazing experience. that is all

[PCMB4LyFE]

Ive tried and tried and tried again...

BUT i cannot seem to watch this video without getting goosebumps all over my body!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!

[partysince96]

Some of the most amazing direction ever. I bet they thought that their dynamics peaked on the second to last note. Then, the last note... WOW!!!. I aged out of my corps (Expressions) I wish I was 20 years younger soI could do it again!!!!

[takigan]

It's amazing the myriad of different emotions that can sweep over you in 1 single chord held out for 30 seconds.

[devondsd]

wat is the warm up called

[utsuxrooster]

@devondsd It is a section of the show turned into a chorale.

[ALYSSAVALOx]

i want to join vanguard so bad but i have no previous field show experience :[

[raptordudeJCR]

@ALYSSAVALOx You dont really need on field experience. Drum corp marching technique is different all across. You just need to be physically capable and be a quick learner and you'll be fine! the music is huge too though. you gotta try-out first. they dont just let anyone in.

[tellysworld]

@ALYSSAVALOx You should try out for the Vanguard Cadets or Blue Devils B if you are not sure of your experience. A year or three in these corps will shape you up to be a SCV A Corps member. If I did it, you can do it. You have to take a first step and try out first.

[kittykatz503]

and they act like that was nothin

[Qaeification]

If I had to choose between the Cavs and Santa Clara Vanguard...SCV would totally win my vote. I swear listened to this a milion times...i believe they really shouldve won last year at the finals! gotta love them

[ibobnz10]

@ 1 min and 6 sec I got chills can not wait to see this corps this summer

[newdem08]

Andre was director at my old high school Overton in Memphis, TN after I graduated. Phenomenal musical mind

[ddogb789]

I've never had to lower the volume on my speakers before lol... intense

[RHCPDMBxxx33]

YES!!!

[code3racing]

Dang. Yeah...that's about all I can say.

[beetrobot]

The guy there will be my band director at my university next year! :)

[thatjuanguy]

@beetrobot You're definitely in for a treat over at UTEP then lol.

[Aaron5ash]

@beetrobot The day I heard he was headed for UTEP it crossed my mind to transfer. He is such an amazing person and a joy to spend the summer with.

[tbs0046]

@beetrobot I go to UNT and I am extremely bitter because I wanted to take conducting with Andre next semester!

[jck1794]

i also love how youtube gives the option of hd for this video even tho the normal quality is already better than hd lol

[jck1794]

1:04.....my speakers just exploded...

[aderusha]

Ohhhhh.... Amazing

[caseysmithhoes]

overtones.

[KingOfTheCrows]

I thought I was watching a commercial for a second. The 5D Mark II is quite nice i'd say.

[lsuman93]

that black guy is awesome

[specialbari09]

I'm drowning in the dark chocolate that is the sound of the low brass. Someone please throw me a life raft! And by the way, HOLY FUCKING SHIT THAT CUT OFF WAS FUCKING GREAT.

[jadebrew]

My favorite corps, period.

[mastermusician1116]

I need a cigarette after that one!!

what a beautiful last 2 seconds of the video haha
