praying to the Lord that I have the luck to experience this this summer, im trying to scrounge money together this summer to go to the Music For All Summer Symposium for marching in Ball State, learning the techniques of this amazing corps and sitting inside the circle for the first time ever will probably change me
Ah damn if you were never in band or orchestra you'd have a hard time understanding the dedication it takes to craft this kind of sound. Been years since I picked up a trumpet but a strong brass section still makes me tear up
It's also not just about the music. You can feel the music in your chest cavity and thanks to the tubas, the ground you're sitting on vibrates. It's incredible, get inside a horn circle if you ever get the chance. I run a high-power 13 speaker surround sound system with four subwoofers designed specifically to reproduce the drum corps sound. It doesn't come close to hearing the real thing.
I’m dying happy after hearing this through headphones. Would give my step off foot for a chance to have been in the center of that circle absorbing full volume.
@@caseyoleary2010 you missed the point of that person's comment. Because he recorded and posted the performance, we, the viewer, now get to listen to something we otherwise would never have heard.
@@superior_nobody07 I understand the point, and I am disagreeing with it. Perhaps you are missing my point: it's kind of selfish to suggest that the quantity of people who see a recording of a live performance is more important than the quality of the experience for those actually in attendance.
Having a phone out doesn’t take away from the experience at all. Like the other person said, now other people are able to experience how this sounded, and can keep coming back to it it they’d like to hear it more, instead of it being only a one time thing.
I think I figured out one reason they sound so amazing: in this video, once they hit the big chords really loud, you can hear a ton of overtones that they aren't playing that almost sound like a flute or impossibly high trumpet. They're playing so in tune and so efficiently that they effectively flesh out the orchestration without actually having those sounds, and it makes it way more engaging and immersive
Not just overtones but that freaking subharmonic at 0:59. Like what kind of acoustic voodoo are they doing to make an unplayed note rumble like that? Jeez!
@@loganfowler7417 i imagine there's some pedal Eb action going on as well, but these are all 3 valves so they're either kicking out like crazy, lipping down a ton or most likely just faking the partial. either way, insanely impressive
