[perrocabrera]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[lykebank]

goosebumps everytime

[BboyElectrix]

why dont they play to the release at .40 ?

[KalphiteGenius]

haha that was so cool it felt playful but done to an exceptional level. I saw cadet's shis year it was sooo good :O!!!

[DCBDlife]

i Love the tag

[JSlani21]

Beast. All I can say. I enjoy listening to this more than PR's canon.

[JeremysBugles]

Anyone notice how freakin quick those contras whipped down their horns at the very end? You'd think it only weighed 10 lbs!

[DrDestructo94]

MY SPEAKERS !!!!

[drumcorps0junkie]

!the cadet's favorite things!

[aolyahoo]

oh dam my speakers are on full blast and i have just paused the video before it even started, ummmmm what the hell ill leave them on. Here goes!

[gothrowsome2a]

you guys have no clue how much i have to turn this down for it to come out at a reasonable volume

[llaxof9991111]

I hear the BD drumline in the back.

[rreemmzzrruullee]

anybody else think its funny that corps like phantom regiment and the cadets can make this huge wall of sound without bending down to the ground like blue devils

[lengland010]

bhahahah! I agree!!!

[ConnerMello2]

@rreemmzzrruullee anybody else think it's funny that no one cares? BD has won more world championships than anyone else in DCI doing what they want to do. Everyone who knows anything about brass knows that bending down has nothing to do with putting more sound out of the horn. BD does it because that's what BD does.

[jts5032]

that tuba all the way on the right looks like a BEAST  ^^

[curlmofo85]

wow.

[dongcheeman]

to everyone saying things about the conductor: this brassline wouldn't be as good as they are without gino cipriani =)

[tj888334]

don't talk such blasphemy about geno.

[88keysatl]

LOVE IT! But the dude conducting looks like a featherless bird attempting flight!

[lolz989]

haha that made my night :D

[AllStater09]

you know every time I see one of these videos of the cadets playing rocky point holiday, someone has to comment on the guy conducting, and almost "taking flight", I just find it hilarious that there always is someone that comments on it. haha and I love how the cadets play it with such intensity and then end it with a laid back feel. TYPICAL CADETS!!! gotta love'm

[88keysatl]

The reason you see such comments everytime is because it's such a strange contrast between the incredible Cadet sound and this baffoon flapping his arms. It's so amateurish. For me, a former drum major and current orchestral conductor, it's painful to watch! All that flapping is so unnecessary. Fly away little bird!!

[AllStater09]

I'm a fellow ex drum major myself, and yes I would agree it is terribly distracting

[stomlin723]

You should be so lucky as to be in a hornline taught by Gino Cipriani. If you think perfect technique has anything to do with conducting then you still have so much to learn.

[AllStater09]

oh come on guys I respect Gino

[CLField15]

Does one of the brass tech guys have to have incredible technique as far as conducting? Would you act all calm with an amazing corps putting up a huge wall of sound?

[88keysatl]

Hey...I'm just sayin. He can flap all he wants. Love me some Cadets!...and some Rocky Point!

[stomlin723]

That baffoon is the best brass instructor in DCI dumb ass!!!!

[88keysatl]

You need to lighten up dumbass! I love the Cadets. And, I totally respect this guy. I'm just sayin! btw...fuck off pussy!

[x2Contra]

And DCA. And anything else he does. The man is a musical genius.

[tburkhart777]

Sorry : )

[tburkhart777]

I hope my comments aren't actually showing up and I continue repeating myself. Dang iPhone. Haha. They raped your camera haha.

[bsmith09131]

Yeah. You've posted 4 comments so far. Haha. My camera is like $100... I'm glad the audio wasn't TOO horrible.

[SilverFlair]

who cares HOLY SHIT HOLY NAME CADETS!!!!!!!

[bsmith09131]

I think so... just not before a show??? That was the first time I've listened to them warm up in person.

[blahgaxx]

Does he ever let the drum major conduct this piece? lol

[lolz989]

yes in encores

[AllStater09]

in the lot, HELLS TO THE NO, ITS HIS TIME TO DO IT, but at an encore, obviously the drum major has to do it then, lol
