  • They are playing on taiko drums

  • what are they playing on in the beginning? the drumline i mean.

  • hey they are playing on 07 drums

  • i iked thier 2008 show way better than their 2009 show

  • why were they using different drums?

  • they had them made specially for the show. kind of like a taiko drum but not. Im not sure where, but theres a video about them somewhere. in the actual show the snare and tenor lines use them for the first bit and then they switch back to their snare or tenor.

  • .025

  • 22 brass titles. 13 championship.

  • 9th place

  • @gatorsbrianz who Blue Devils nooo the got 2nd

  • Dynsty

  • what kind of drums are those?

  • Hah that mello solo player guy is my Tech this year lol

  • Is it Ben henderson?

  • I totally wanted this show to win! Though it could have been either way for Phantom or BD.

  • Comment removed

  • this is a bit under tempo from the end of season

  • what drums do they use in the beginning i've never seen those before

  • Is the Blue Devils age-out age older than other corps? Cuz I don't know if it's just me but all of these people look a lot older than the members of some other corps... Like Phantom Regiment and the Cadets look like they have people so much younger...

  • No, all corps age out is 21 years old. It's a West Coast thing xD jk!

  • Oh okay haha thanks. Maybe Blue Devils just has a bunch of overly-obsessed members who keep lying about their age to keep coming back. Haha just kidding. But really, I hear that that happens a LOT in drum corps.

  • But! if your birthday falls after June 1st, you can march when you're 22 (:

  • As in those who are the younger kids in their grade, right?

  • Yup.

    People like me

  • Yep, it's higher.

  • I heard they only pick older people like 18-21...but I'm sure they'll be people to say that's a lie.

  • No, I agree. I hear that some corps cut people because "they were too young". Which is a load of bullshit, IMO

    Then again, I think that Cavies took someone who was 16 a couple of years ago...

  • Absolutely not true. A lot of their members come up from the younger Blue Devils B and C corps.

  • the age limit is 16-21

  • its mostly true in any drum corps that they what the best talent they can get, often times coming from the older crowd. But if a younger student brings a lot to they table and they think he/she has what it takes to make it through the season (mentally and physically) then they will not send them away because of age. A lot of times when you hear of a corps cutting someone because their of their age, its normally because they have yet to grow up enough as a player/or to be on their own in summer.

  • Is this really the concord blue devils?

  • yes

  • wow why did they take out the trumpet duet :(

  • kind of boring IMO...

  • ahhh the trumpet duet never saw the light of day :(

  • lol true

  • bd is amazing

  • basses at 1:06 ^_^

  • mello 2:13

  • what were the songs in their show this year im very egar to know i wanted to see them but never got a chance to

  • oops.... end snare @ 2:15

  • at 2:15 starts split snare stuff. so the end snare did not mess up.

  • Yeah I relized that after the fact... woops

  • ha people will attack any mistake on youtube. hopefully your +/- will even out from your two comments.

  • lol..aight then let me say this:

    I love BD!! Ahhhhh...they're sooooo awesome.

    I'm a high brass man and those top sops r rediculous.

  • anyone know what kind of drums they were using at the beginning of the show?

  • tyko (i think i misspelled it) drums made by remo. its like a japanese snare

  • They were miniature taiko drums :) configured for marching :D

  • Top heavy.

  • that may be partially due to the recording equipment, or youtube's sound quality, or your computer. I saw them in person countless times, i actually heard them during this recording, the bass and tenor came across clearly

  • Gotta set up a sub with your comp :) I can hear the basses well :)

  • Of course Blue Devils forever, in 2009 theyre gonna take it back yup yup. Phantom has got watch out next year cause I know the good old Blue Devils are gonna be back with that great show everyone loves and the drumline hopefully theyll comeback to be as dangerous as they ever were. HAHAHA Good job Phantom, and a specially congrats to Carolina Crown, you guys really impressed me. Cavaliers, you guys are still my 2nd favorite but Blue Devils forever for me.

  • Of course....Holy Name Cadets are coming back next year for their 75th anniversary.

    I'd also watch out for them....they might have been 5th this season, but don't take them lightly either in 2009.

  • They just dropped Aungst and their frontline arranger/tech.

    And no one is going to be taking anything lightly.

    The Achilles heel of Phantom is Visual.

    Always has been. It's what kept them from pulling ahead of BD in 1996 as well.

    The Cavaliers have always been a powerhouse but the judges are getting tired of constant eye candy and they're listening for more musical effect now.

    Crown, they just keep getting better and better in every way and they have the staff of Star of Indiana on their side.

  • People have said the same thing when Thom Hannum left Garfield Cadets in the 1980s.

    The Holy Name Cadets will be fine in 2009. We've got Colin McNutt.

  • We'll see how they fair.

  • keep an eye on crown too. they are coming up there. i'm joining BD this season though. hopefully :D

  • Phantom won visual in '96 as far as I know.

  • Actually Phantom lost in Visual in 96

  • Actually, They both tied in Visual and Music. But Phantom won GE. Blue Devils won everything else. LOVE Club Blue, favorite show.

  • Great job Blue Devils....I know it seems to bite hard losing the gold on the last night of the season, but you guys performed the hell out of your show, so excellent job!

    Looking forward to 2009!!

  • Obviously you are blind, deaf, or haven't seen there show this year. Its dirty to the max. there brass isn't what it used to be. And you would think with all the staff they have with the percussion line like (tim jackson) (Scott Johnson) they would be able to maybe get a first in that category.....

  • And what corps have you marched with, sir?

  • They sure don't deserve to be siting in first place. Phantom Regiment, The cavailers, Even Carolina Crown should be in front of them. When i saw them in Allentown they so dirty and it sounded horrible. Its one of those times where i liked the show better on recording than in person..

  • Too bad judges and many other think other wise.

  • Too bad they don't think they should be sitting in first. Especially the percussion judge. 5th and 6th in Percussion on the night of Finals.

  • I love the smell of Troll in the morning. Don't you?

  • this show could really use a cymbal line, it would be sick!!! they have sooo much they could do with a c line

  • If you added any more visual elements to this show it would become muddy, I saw this live about two or three days ago in Charleston WV. It was mind blowing, wouldn't change a thing.

  • scott johnson thinks field cymbals are useless too ... which i strongly disagree with. As do i disagree with the negativity towards cavis show which finally did what it should have done at allentown hehe

  • The Cavies will Plateau. Honestly, I don't like there show because its Called Samurai and there's hardly any use of the pentatonic scale, which is basically what most traditional Japanese music was based on.

    Plus their hornline is not as good as BD, Phantom or Carolina Crowns. Towin the title, they'll have to rely on percussion

  • plus, I never Said field Cymbals were useless, I think SCV Rocks them and always should. But If you've Seen the Devils this year, It's Choc full of visual elements. Its hard enough to keep track of everything thats going on visually as is.

  • For the people arguing...I have to say two, dos, deux words.

    SHUT UP.

    Thank you.

  • This show was amazing and hilarious XD

  • The drumline owns those shime daikos

  • DAMN! the blue crew smokes them drums. yo baby! what foo believes?

  • Why can't we all just enjoy the video?..

  • Wow... can we all mature a little and watch some BD throw down?

  • does anyone know which movement they are play at 1:47?

  • I thought the were marching 5 tenors.

  • 2008 BD Show Title. Constantly Risking Absurdity.

  • thanks

  • can anyone tell me thier theme for this year

  • Thank you for jacking this video from BD's website.

    I love their music.

    I won't be able to hear nor see any of their new stuff until I go to Finals or until someone records their show and puts it up.

    So thank you, kind sir.

    =]

  • why the hell is BD marching with pro marks

  • yup!

  • ScoJo said it was because Promark was getting them a better deal. BD is getting royalties directly, so that's more money into food, equipment, and gas on the road. I have two pairs of the new snare sticks, and they're actually really nice.

  • blue devils are they shit, my buddy art is marching snare this year, last i saw they were killin everybody

  • Ehmagawd. Kiani C. does colorguard for B corps or something. She rocks. Like Brandon! Spicy Like a Curaaayy!!!!

  • When did Frank lose all that weight??? Good lord!!!

  • Man, BD is just so freaking strong every year. It's that mellow California having-fun vibe. Nothing fazes them.

  • mellow? lol. we californians have a shorter life span than any other state because we're always in a rush to get somewhere or do something. California is a fast state.

  • (Shhh....keep it down! I know -- I'm from the SF Bay Area. Cal's the hardest-working damned state in the union, but that's our little secret, ok? Whoops, some people from Illinois are coming... lemme handle this...)

    WHASSUP! NOTHING GOING ON HERE, DUDES! MOVE ON, NOW ... JUST A COUPLE OF MELLOW CALIFORNIANS, HANGIN OUT, SMOKIN' SOME BUDS AND STUFF... CHILLIN' OUT ... RIGHT ON ... SEE YA ... ROCK ON ... BYE NOW ...

    Whew. That was close...

  • lol nice cover up :p

  • I'm all stressed-out now, man.

  • just be "mellow" yo and it'll be all good.

  • MARS is great i loved being there

  • FYWW

  • I love the split between the basses and taiko drum things!

  • Anybody know what the song is at the very beginning (0:03-0:13)?

    This is the order posted in my program from the Clovis Show...

    Having seen this show live TWICE now, I must say, it's pretty awesome. This video hardly does it any justice.

  • Oh thanks, but I meant the intro song that is being played not by the corps, before the corps itself starts playing.

  • You mean what the pit plays before the Drum Major is introduced and everything? It's a part from [I think] the 4th movement...

    Saw them again tonight, this time from backfield...It was even better than last night.

    There was also a encore after...So crazy loud that you can't even tell that the person next to you is screaming until they stop...

  • what happened to 2001, 2002 cavies?

  • what - what are you asking? this is 2008...cavaliers doesnt even have the same staff...

  • Dude. Cavies are off to a good start. Are you on crack? and phantom is first in drums. so shut the FUCK up ya lil bitch... jeez man

  • Exactly right on man...

    To be honest, I can't count out BD right now...they're smokin' ass right now.

    Same with Cavies and Phantom. What a year it's gonna be...

  • Guys, JessOnTheRun might not say things in the most polite way, but you have to admit, The Cavaliers have definitely seen better days. Cavies have been my favorite since '99 when I started drumming. These days, it pains me to see them throwing so much dirt. I mean... check out their onfield.. watch?v=Yejn_vQ5qVU . I can only hope they get better. Ancona and Casella are great, extremely talented guys, but something needs to change.

  • you are an idiot...no one is first in anything...do you have any concept for DCE, DCW and DCM? You know no one is competing head to head on the same judging system. I bet you havent even seen any other corps except the lame ass midwest corps. LOL...sit down, son...shut up....chill out...and fetch water, because that is all you will ever do, kiddo.

  • I'm afraid you're a bit misled if that's what you truly believe. They use the exact same judging system, but variances in the actual judges will cause slight differences before head-to-head match-ups. And to describe the corps from the midwest as "lame-ass" just makes me think you're some West Coast fanboy who got cut one too many times. Anyone who's actually marched tends to have respect for other corps . . . .

  • 1.) you are entirely illogical and presumptuous in your summation. Do you even understand and follow your own logic? LOL. 1.)DCM has a notoriously, well established history of inflating scores more than west and east. This is nothing new...I have been a circuit ajudicator for DCM, I know what IM talking about. You cant take any score from different shows and think you are going to compare corps relatively. That's naive. Yeah, I got cut when I marched BD for 2 years, Cadets for 1. OWNED!

  • How is assuming that someone who over-uses "LOL" and can't follow basic rules of grammar and syntax (as well as blatantly bashes on any corps) is immature illogical? And isn't only logical to assume that immaturity comes with lack of age and experience. I'd much rather you be young and naive than older and as immature as you present yourself. But I guess I shouldn't have given you the benefit of the doubt. You really are that shallow, bitter, and foolish.

  • wow, how ironic. DLON (douche loser original nimrod)talks about grammar and yet fails to exemplify such in the very same whiney, emotional complaint. HA HA HA, dude, you are OWNED! Your presumptuous disposition reveals how stupid and naive you truly are. Dont you get it? You dont know anything about the world, people, etc. Nothing you say is taken with more than a grain of salt, due to your insecure, emotional state driving your very limited perception. Someone give this loser a maxi-pad.

  • Really? You're going to come up with something as creative as a third grader (I mean really, did you think "douche loser original nimrod" was an intelligent choice to back up your arguments against being more mature than a third grader?) and then say I'm childishly naive and limited in my perceptions? Way to go; all your high school bando friends must think you're awesome.

  • oh god, watch DLON get all butthurt and embarrassed, because he got owned. Dude, I have a master's degree....high school has been way over, kid. You are the teenager, fan boy....and still avoiding me, i see. wow...the run and hide thing really works well for you.

  • Once again, I'm wondering where you learned to read. Where did I get embarrassed? And I'm not avoiding you. Your poor reading skills just aren't helping you much. I addressed one of your concerns before you brought it up (you've missed it three times at least now apparently), and the other holds as much water as (and has as much supporting evidence as) if I were to say, "My uncle is Donnie Van Doren." And no one has run anywhere . . . I'm still here waiting for you to learn how to read.

  • "wondering where...learned...read"...LOL.­..are you serious with these dated, tired, lame adolescent comebacks? Seriously, I haven't been exposed to this much, rather, lame wit since Jr High.

    Learn Grammar, pal. Yours is atrocious. You have a problem with commas and pronouns and none of us can understand "writing the way you talk" (i.e., butchering any semblance of the English language...even American english.) Are you really this butthurt over being challenged from an insider about judging?

  • An insider? You mean some idiot claiming un-supported experience in judging a defunct circuit, not to mention a current bias by judges in said *defunct* circuit? Yeah right.

    And it's not my fault if you don't understand how the English language works in sentences longer than three words.

    Are you really that upset that someone can see through your narcissism and superiority complex?

  • same old drivel, lack of content, concept, poor spelling, grammar and structure. Finally, it just dawned on me: why should i waste my valuable time on someone who "doesnt get it"? You are just a kid, no one takes you seriously in life, and you have proven time and time again, that you are basically not bright enough to comprehend any of this. You are a waste. pfft.

  • Yep . . . same old story. Idiot realizes there actually are people out there with some modicum of intelligence and that he can't win, so he runs off. Yes, there have been a couple of misspelled words, but many less than you. My grammar is perfectly fine, and all the complaints you made about my "grammar" would have actually been syntax (and they still weren't incorrect), and you still haven't realized that all your questions were answered days ago. Room temperature IQ . . . how do you survive?

  • you rock !! and i love the lexicon of witch you choose to correct him !!!!!!!

  • more drivel....you are just going on showing how what a butthurt little kid you are. Have fun watching this activity fan boy...its something you would never be able to do. Do to your aggression about it, start fights online, so you have the luxury of never facing the people you display your unsophisticated, brash, rude behavior. You are just a typical, insecure kid. End of Story...I'M DONE WITH YOU...no sense beating a dead horse, you are pretty beaten enough.

  • I really wish you'd at least try to come up with a new phrase. "Butthurt" is probably the stupidest word I've hever heard. And you're wrong. I've already marched ;-)

    And I wouldn't call being bombarded with playground insults and logic that resembles swiss cheese thanks to all its holes beaten enough. But if you want to delude yourself into thinking that you've made sense and carried yourself maturely, that's your prerogative. Run on then.

  • Yo man, why dont you shut the fuck up already. From what I seen, he whooped yo dumb ass. cant you learn yo lesson? U aint smart boy, stop pretending. Stop hating, player.

  • well you sure seem like you are mature enough to have a masters.

  • let me know which University awards their degrees based on Proximity Cultural Socializations. lol...

  • I wouldn't play around with big boy words I don't understand if I were you. If you ever want to *try* to use that poor attempt at a humorous jab, the word you're looking for is "Proximate." Nice try, but you fail.

  • Buwhahahahahha.....no kid....Proximity and Proximate are completely two different words and concepts. LOL....What a total retard you are. I simply love that you actually used "stupidest"....sort of ironic, isnt it? yo guy, you truly DONT GET IT. now keep answering in your fragile ego- hyper-emotional dispositon you love to do. You keep digging yourself deeper and proving me 100% correct. Damn, kid. Dont you understand why no one takes you seriously in life? Keep making a fool out of yourself!

  • You're the one acting like a fool.

    Just do us a favor and stop ripping everybody. No one likes it, and it just makes yourself look more and more like a complete jackass. If I remember correctly, you started this all by saying the Cavies basically had a shitty show and were going to drop out of the top five. Proof that you let your emotions get in the way of your logical thinking.

    Sorry, that's just my two cents. I'll be quiet now...

  • my little teenaged 16 yr old kiddie...you are going to have to get thicker skin in life if you want to make it out there in that big, tough world. For everytime someone starts whining and crying about someone else's opinion or commentary, it only fully extends basic human rights, principly...speech/expression, being one of them. I understand you have never experienced freedom in the manner I have. It must be a new concept for you. I am objective, not emotional, as I used to be affiliated with C.

  • I'm not disagreeing with you (except for the whole Cavies thing...), but still...

    Lighten up a little bit

  • Dude your fucking arguing with someone through Youtube comments. Grow up!

  • dude, you are whining, pissing and moaning over it...take a dose of your own advice you stupid hypocrite. Get a life, kid.

  • Its not the cavies show that sucks, Blue Devils forever!

  • Sorry if it came off that way... I think the Cavaliers are great, but I kinda agree with some of the things JessOnTheRun said about human rights and commentary.

  • By the way, nice way of avoiding my response to you. Do you always resort to little emotional, immature kiddie games when someone basically answers you directly and head on? are you that butthurt to stand up and keep the discussion on my level (the adult one)? Kid, you are so transparent and easily read; like a book...a comic book that is. LOL

  • And I "avoided" responding because you provided no evidence to support your claim that the Midwest has inflated more. I'm certainly not believing your word after reading everything you've posted so far. And your quip about not comparing scores from different shows . . . well, I already said that in my first comment ;-)

  • 1994 and 95, I adjudicated on the DCM circuit...trust me kid...ive forgotten more about this activity than you are ever going to know. Maybe you can get Roman Blenski to buy you an ice cream....if you even know who that is.

  • From the looks of how much secondary, undergrad and post-graduate (or so you claim) education you're displaying, your ability to forget might just be that great, but you're wrong yet again sadly.

    And do you really think that I wouldn't know who a Hall of Famer is, especially one who was instrumental in the formation of Pio? Yeah, you fail at life, drum corps, and the internet. Congratulations.

  • 1.) "from the looks of how much...education you're displaying...your ability to forget might just be...you're wrong yet again.."...DLON...you don't quite get the irony of your post, do you? LOL

    2.) Nice job googling "Roman Blenski II"...Btw, there is more than one (his son) that is very influencial in the activity as well...lol. (fools always play the fool's card).

  • 1) Or maybe it's that you don't understand just how immature and worthless you are if you really believe the swill you're spouting.

    2) Fools play the fool's card . . . you mean like someone asking a question with multiple possible answers in the form the question was posed to intentionally switch out their meaning when they end up wrong in their assumption of ignorance on the other person's part? Yeah, thought so. Thanks for calling yourself on that one.

  • yeah dude saw the blue devils yesterday at a show HOLY CRAP!

  • I kind of agree. Cavies' show still seems really raw, not to mention it's basically Machine with different music. BD's really getting outside the box here, and they're owning it right now. I've seen it twice in rehearsal and once live, and it's amazing.

  • Darn right

  • WOW! i love these guys

  • really cool man..super professional
