[drummerboy199fo]

HOLY PISS!!!

[FretFretTRW]

Hubba, Hubba! #ThatIsAll

[hmstrackstar32]

how do they hold the same not for so long??

[scianidekamickazie]

@hmstrackstar32 Probably circular breathing

[Kbob3985]

@hmstrackstar32 stagger breathing

[johnythanj]

theres a reason they won that year.... chairs lots and lots of chairs

[XafrojewfroX]

boy do i love playing the baritone horn!



[22036Disneyfan]

The awkward moment when the Blue Devils warm up is better than your bands field show! :/

[audenjj]

just amazing 

[danieej27]

Oh my god I just came in my pants. I want to join a drum corps next season, but I don't want people to look down on me because of my age, therefore lack of experience. :(

[xxzhoutaixx]

@danieej27 You could always do a Jr. Corps and no one cares about age, all that matters is year regardless of how old you are your rookie year is probably gonna be the same.

[adrher1]

where is the guitarist at?

[mrlarry1975]

Thats always fun.

[xPhotoManx]

..trumpet high notes.. epic... Beautiful guys!!!

[kingarthurjacob]

What are the notes for the crescendo and decrescendo thing after the first set of chords?????

[OCDumbrellaman]

@kingarthurjacob Everybody is playing a different note.. You practically "pick a note".. Hence the space feeling from space chords.

[TheChuck624]

Nope, sorry, still not as good the B.D's 1976 Legend Of The One Eyed Sailor. The best concert number and performance by a DCI corps to date.

[ThinkerForever1]

i wanna slap everyone that did scream, cant you just shut the fuck up and listen and enjoy like a civilized being and then you can show your stupid appreciation later in the form of idiotic screaming of yours

[bugler9733]

I need a rag, a blacklight, and a new pair of underwear

[EJR9090]

epic

[EJR9090]

@freddyalexanderful troll lol

[thewinner759]

@freddyalexanderful Be more constructive with your feedback, please.

[lWickedFrostl]

@thewinner759 Is that a DJ F|u|a reference? :O

[thewinner759]

@lWickedFrostl Flight of the conchords

[lWickedFrostl]

@thewinner759 I'm the Hiphopopotamus! My lyrics are bottomless! ....

[DezeDude97]

Why the squatting at the end?

[tyler2484]

@DezeDude97 When some of them are squatting I'm assuming they are usually playing louder or higher or both. Specifically trumpet players do this, as I am one. When you "squat" as you say, you bend your knees and kinda lean back. Look up "Maynard Ferguson".  What it does is theoretically help breathing technique and aid when playing higher or louder. Some do it, some don't, and it's a great showmanship thing to do so the crowd sees that "WOW They're really getting into it, imma stand and clap"

[xivonira]

@DezeDude97 squatting = no pass out

[dlinefun1]

I use the chords like a ringtone for one of my fellow musician friends. Really great!

[BULLshitBen]

This is the sound of the universe being created

[speceaANDhola]

i may sound super stupid saying this, but starting from about 1:50 to about 2:02, it sounds like the TARDIS landing........yup, i have to get a life

[sherman573]

if there was a way to get rid of the cheering... That would be awesome...

[SpringCube]

tears :)

[Danie01eupho]

the best space chord ever . 2009 <3

[Dfavereau]

This is why I play Tuba... 

[DanielProctor775]

God, do I love DCI.

[Gavkonastinky07]

AMAZING!!!!!!!

[Gavkonastinky07]

lol at 0 :50 the guy is like WTF get the fucking camera out of my face.

[Miamispringsking]

@kingsax2012 thanks!

[Miamispringsking]

What brass instrument is easy to pick up if you play a clarinet?

[KingSax2012]

@Miamispringsking trumpet

[xxcandiedapples]

best one ever

[kakashicrazed]

I just came.

[falenjo5]

I am more of a fan of traditional style marching, but you cannot help but appreciate what these guys do. This is absolutely amazing. It certainly gave me chills.

[9brain5]

stupid screaming people

[DamageIncBHS]

I need new pants.

[eunbikkabi]

1:05  gotta love the sock tan.. i miss marching band

[nazarito97]

ORGASM. nuff said.

[mellonappa72]

OMG.... That its all...

[masagodude]

what kind of chords are these? sorry

[o0AppleBoy0o]

The best conclusion to playing this is to scare the shit out of other bands who hear them!!

[DrumlineGuru]

I had a corpsgasm! I think you have to have woodwinds for bandgasms.

[MrDrewboggess]

Damn

[WreckingIt247]

MY GOD

[ShowbandRSF]

Juste Amazing !!!!!!

[VerySnowy]

This is God's theme song.

[poopcrapface2000]

this is the coolest fucking thing i've seen in my whole life

[AVerbene]

lol woodwinds

[deadpulse1000]

Anyone know the chords or notes to this???

[tonetone96]

I love this very superior brass sound!!! Love the dynamic contrast and the ability to not only play at a high dynamic but also keep the quality and lack the action of overplaying!! Outstanding Job!!

[berne9]

Hah my friend linked this video to me a few years ago first dci experience ever. what a great first experience. and yes that's what she said.

[gameboy595]

I picked the wrong instrument :( - Saxophonist

[PlushChronicles]

@gameboy595 lol play mello, the pitch is the same

[DamageIncBHS]

@gameboy595 I'm a saxophonist too! I hear mello is easy to pick up if you play sax.

[217DAnDONEGAN]

@gameboy595 Sucks to be you, euphonium player here.

[gameboy595]

@217DAnDONEGAN lol not really, learning Baritone :D

[donaldengine9]

@217DAnDONEGAN: Go Euphs!

[blakrock11]

@gameboy595 You can always learn a brass. My main instrument is clarinet but I learned the mellophone to do drum corps. I practiced hard enough and I got into a world class corps. You just need to commit to the practice to learn the new brass instrument

[gameboy595]

@blakrock11 thanks man i plan on getting good enough to march boston and see were i go from there

[th3mexican227]

@blakrock11 Who'd you make dude? I'm 13 right now marching Spartans Open Class but I hope to march Phantom Regiment, Blue Devils, Cavaliers or Boston Crusaders

[Skyrimdies]

@gameboy595 what do you mean? cause im going to college marching and i play saxaphone..should i be worried?

[MCRamseyXD]

@Skyrimdies Drum Corps don't march wood wind instruments normally

[Wishrachi]

@gameboy595 I'm even worse off. I picked flute.

[themonsterjaws59]

wth is that 1:45 ?

[CWS291]

@themonsterjaws59 A cluster chord. It's used mostly just to show dynamic modulations. Basically every player just picks a random note and plays it, then follows the dynamics the director is feeding them.

[carloszamora0710]

I can only imagine what this would be like with a decent camera.... 480p ftl :/

[9childofburningtime9]

I JUST CAME I NEED THREE NEW PAIRS OF PANTS!!!!!!!!!

[TheBandman300]

just got a bandgasm

[CallMeTuba]

@TheBandman300 corpsgasm** lol but same

[albinometal501]

Are the contras playing Mars??

[tanman7299]

@albinometal501 yes

[Hector95100]

are all blue devils required to use the system blue mouthpieces?

[tanman7299]

@Hector95100 yes

[4017yomama]

1:10 what the fuck is that woman doing with a phone in her hand? what, space chords isn't enough? -.- .... what a bitch

[PMonty146]

The camera mic can barely cope

[ChrisRod123456789]

its like an orgasm but in your ear

[ABSjazz]

Goosebumps every time.

[bonemybrass36]

Too much screaming when the chord resolved. Would have like to actually hear it!!

[AaronandDana]

@bonemybrass36 Amen.

[LordoftheHobbits]

Oh my sweet Jesus. No one gives 2 fucks about your high school band, I'm so tired of hearing that... In fact I don't give a single fuck, not one!

[johnL454]

what a eargasim

[dividedguy]

....and suddenly, without warning, my pants slid off, revealing the shiny boner that would quintessentially define and reflect the sheer power and crude wisdom that exists only in certain secret places, that of which no other band has ever witnessed, partnered, or betrothed. And I ceased to be the cadet, cavalier boy that once was..... BD for life.

[MISFIT8L]

am i the only one that notices this guys user name?

"euphoniumhumper"

[johnr224960]

i think the chord progression is

Bb 9, Eb 9, Fm7, GbM7,AbM,GbM7,AbM,"space",Ab,,­­DM,AbM,DM,Fsus4,Fm,Bb&F

[redneck141]

i seriously think im going to cry after hearing this like wow!!!!!!!!!! i play tuba and id love to b in a drum core especially like the blue devils omg!!!!!

[Taylork64]

Brass > Wood Winds

[MrCoolGuy6900]

I love the leaning.

[Keeiman]

tubas I am feeling them pedal tones

[huntbal123]

It would be nice to have a recording that doesnt have people yelling in the background

[Coolsurfer5]

Amazingly epicaly awesome!!!! Needs alto saxes tho.

[HHSbass4]

@Coolsurfer5 A word of advice: Don't come on a DCI video and suggest that they need woodwinds. Just don't do it.

[Coolsurfer5]

@HHSbass4 Oh well, i did it. and only saxes. which some consider a cross brass/woodwind.

[mcon96]

holy crap. their sound just impregnated me..... and i am a guy.

[noahkeebler]

brass all the way YOU CAN HEAR THEM! clairnets...wait was that the wind? i think so..

[matman841996]

Boner achieved.

[Jiaxis]

lead trumpet is a boss

[Lvin4Him]

19 people play flute...



[OthaBean]

@Fishburn Thanks

[UberStrawberry]

that means you gotta go up tomorrow

[ernie180401]

This is why this equation is ALWAYS True Brass>Woodwinds

[TemplarDefense]

@ernie180401 You are sadly forgetting the rest of said equation, "Brass>Woodwinds IF AND ONLY IF there are no saxes present."

[ernie180401]

@TemplarDefense ok, ok, saxes come as close as the woodwinds can get to being somewhat close to brass

[TemplarDefense]

@ernie180401 I will concede that saxes only come remotely close to brass using metal mouthpieces and an ungodly amount of air, though. =D

[ernie180401]

@TemplarDefense i agree

[spartanhs]

19 people don't like space music

[stutta3]

my ears jus had eargasm!!!lol..beautiful!!xD

[drzmvp554]

That was just epic!

[chuyitodejesus]

omg that trumpet that held out at the end. :o

[bdbcorp]

mellophones

[AThousandSkys]

nicee



[Gimadruid]

always have to change my pants after a Blue Devils vid :)

[LuqmanMLHBB]

Brass: "YEAH!!!" Clarinets: "and why am i playing a clarinet again?!"

[Rocketfire81]

@LuqmanMLHBB As a clarinetist, THIS IS SO TRUE! Learning Bari/Euph next summer and auditioning for SVC next fall!

[trumpetplayer231]

@LuqmanMLHBB Exactly my thoughts xD

[narissesei]

@LuqmanMLHBB I definitely played clarinet until I marched one years worth of parades in front of the trumpets, and realized they were one of the most beautiful sounding instruments I've ever heard. Needless to say, I'm now brass captain and over half of the music on my ipod is brass stuff :)

[Boberube34]

@LuqmanMLHBB and the drumline's like... well fuck....

[poopmcdoopdoop]

Idk, i still like Phantom's Canon D better, but this is still really bad ass

[hasonjogue]

ok, i fucking hate blue devils, but this shit is epic.

[djg093]

I fucking hate when people scream during these videos.

[ec1032am]

@djg093 I get what your saying I wish I could watch videos without the screaming or the constant OMGs, but that's like asking people not to scream on a roller coaster some people just can't help themselves ;)

[dalt86966]

THIS! Is the real brass!

[MedievalHollywood]

It sounds more like an orchestra than a band.

[sgtm1775]

@MedievalHollywood It's a Drum Corps, not a band.

[MedievalHollywood]

@sgtm1775. Yah, your right. Force of habit. 

[jub2k1]

nobody will ever come close to being able to park and blow like bd

[Betachiken]

so... i liked it... but... why can't they keep still when they play? do they have to bend their knees?

[mrbabbles100]

@Betachiken im just saying the whole line does it so its probbaly a visual the putin but who cares

[podTWM]

And so, the silent, mysterious onlooker listened as the sounds of the universe came into alignment, to create a sound described as too pure for humanity. As the vibrations of the stars and planets themselves echoed through his hardened bowels, the mysterious onlooker paused in deep thought. When the ecstasy of space itself had ended, two words were uttered, almost unheard, from his mouth:

SHIT, SON.

And it was the shit.

[Dorgannn]

@podTWM

MARCUS.

[auniee420]

I'm soo jealous! aha I wish our band sounded some what closer to that(:

[7Sinfonian7]

This gives me chills EVERY TIME I listen to it

[Phoxus]

The guy screaming made it suck. Otherwise this is awesome.

[TaterHater1984]

That is the voice of God.

[gameboy595]

i'm sorry but i hate when that one horn just holds over on the release its so unmusical .

[YungSaintMusicTV]

I SWEAR THIS IS UNREAL!!!!!! OMG

[l33tm4ch1n3]

They may sound good but they are the only corps who gets rewarded when their trumpet section hangs the releases!! They are just the ones we all love to hate but have lots and lots of respect for.

[1jake312]

19 people disliked this video just because it made them crap themselves.

[SweeneyTodd2095]

Wow... that was incredible! I play tenors and snare, but I can still respect an amazing sound like that. Every aspect of the Blue Devils just blow my mind!

[LenaInAmerica]

I have f*ckin goose bumps from 1:20 onwards!! WTF?!

[SilentStryk07]

*chills*



[Krissy20043]

Omg I swear I love DCI bands!!!

[GADICO]

im not sure what the hell that was but it was awesome.

[psiphibassbone]

I think I just wet myself! My speakers just exploded!

[Jimi13James]

my high school brass section is doing this for warm up, i wish we sounded this good....

[chutdiggadut1]

DAMN! They had overloaded the cameras mic with like the second dynamic level playing the chords! AMAZING

[homegirrlzzz]

1:13 i just jizzzzzzzzzzzed myself!

[atbrophy]

19 people have no souls at all

[KnottPatriot]

Blue devils suck. Always in the shadow of Phantom Regiment.  Hey Brass Players,set your purses down and listen to Phantom's Brass.

[chreveir]

Excuse me, piccolos don't belong in drum corp.  If you are going to try and sneak one it, at least make sure it cuts off on time. ;D

[trinitarian7707]

This is why I love music. For those moments like these when it can give you chills.

[chocoblast807]

i love how everyone's going crazy and that's just their warm up.

[1400jacob]

we play this in marching band

[WesWimbo]

i bet it sucks to be the guy squatting down. So close to conducting yet so far away. :/

[WesWimbo]

@BlueandGoldQB7 agreed......orgasmic lol. :) #D-line all the way baby.

[WesWimbo]

Only D-bags hangover lol. trumpets -_-

[BlueandGoldQB7]

@WesWimbo I agree. However, that super G sounded really* nice. Haha.

[nickerthewinner]

Shit.

[D4tDr3wB0y]

That director is that only person in the world who knows what it feels like to rule the universe.
