Worst rendition ever, the drums in the background were the worst, and took away from the trumpets. And the trumpets could have been better, if they didn't have that annoying sound in the background.
i for one was very glad there were no screams. yeah, it would've been impressive, but every band does that. it's so overused that it gives the anthem a sort of tacky feel. on the other hand, the use of only semi high notes and the run at 1:18 gave this rendition a unique, beautiful feel!
In case you didn't know..the Blue Devils are on the top, #1, of marching bands. They are ranking as #1 on Drum Corps International (major league marching bands competition). Don't tell them how to play something correctly...
+TheLegendmanGaming Lay off man. Everyone has an opinion and I actually agree that it wasn't play as well as it could of. Everyone makes mistakes...even the best. BD makes mistakes, Bluecoats make mistakes, and even us here in Crusaders make mistakes.
