2009 SCV Brass in the lot / T. Andre Feagin Conducts @ Walnut, CA 2009 

11 years later, and I still come back to this. :D

10 years later and I'm still blowing out my earphones to this!

I still come back to do to be reminded of what an amazing hornline sounds like. I hate that Feagan retired from DCI... :(

Okay, I think that Santa Clara Vanguards have the most,beautiful, symphonic?, orchestral?, sound out of all the corps. I just can't describe it! Their sound always makes me tear up. :)

I'm so lucky to say that this man stepped into our lot and worked with us. It was a once in a lifetime experience.

I had headphones on while I listened to this... And I bursted into tears at the end of it! That's just how beautiful it was!

Andre was director at my old high school Overton in Memphis, TN after I graduated. Phenomenal musical mind

this almost makes me cry every time... tears of joy that is... =) Music is what moves the soul and mends broken hearts. I am so glad we all get the share the experience.

i got to watch them rehearse for like a whole day and i saw their show for this year it was so good!

Thank you thank you thank you thank you.... !!!! I so miss the parking lots before shows where I gained so many memories... SCV 92-93,95-96... Thanks, again.

Goosebumps! I don't know anything about cameras but everything is crystal clear! Awesome!

It's amazing the myriad of different emotions that can sweep over you in 1 single chord held out for 30 seconds.

BTW... What an AWESOME conductor. I just read Andre Feagan's bio at SCV's website and I tell you SCV is lucky to have a man of that caliber working with them... I could watch him conduct all day as he is just so expressive. The look of approval over to the sopranos, the build with the baris and the step forward telling the line to push through it. As a musician, we don't always NEED words. He feeds of them and they feed off him. Awesome!

This guy was my high school band director man. Two national wind symphony championships for an inner city school in Memphis...There could not have been a better thing happen to that school

I love SCV... I miss their horn lines like this. Sensitive, powerful when needed, tone...

i watch this every few weeks just to feel the awesomeness.

No I did not get my fix and I want more dammit!

Is it natural to feel chills every time you hear this? Cause I do! I love SCV so much!!!

10 ppl suffered a 90% hearing loss from this

I always love the SCV. I seen them in Denver, and will see them again in Indy. At the Denver show, myself and several fans were singing the lyrics to Appalachian Springs (the gifts).

SCV brass is really bringing it this year. And the show is awesome!

This is the most amazing thing i've ever seen.

Sent chills down my spine. what an awesome group of musicians.

It is amazing how Vanguard can play a chord progression and make it sound so good and bring chills and have my jaw on the ground at the same time.

This brass instructor WAS a drum major, himself. Several years back, he was Phantom's DM. He also was my drum major, for one year in college. The year he came to UAB, we were phenomenal. I was on the drumline, the time he spent with us, turned our program around.

it's still magical

i saw them two days ago at Rio Rancho, NM right before they played their final warm up he said to them "remember always play from the soul.. always.. from the soul." once that sound came out, it was breath taking. being in front of that wall sound is indescribable.

Dear lead sop, i love you and thank you for that amazing experience. that is all

1:04 gets the hair on my arms to stand up! One of those breathtaking moments when words can't even describe how truly amazing it sounds!!! Very powerful.

As they gradually got louder, I kept telling myself that this has to be the loudest....ok this has to be the loudest then...I was blown away at 1:04

Great camera work! The focus you a great effect! Go SCV!

Wow. Beautiful hornline this year.

How can anyone dislike this? I just don't understand this world anymore..

this hornline has so much power! its amazing

This conductor came to work with us...and ohh man...he is intense...

The picture quality is as sharp as the music. Well done.

Amazing Depth-of-field. Awesome. And I'm watching it in 480p! yeehheea!

I watch this, and I seriously almost cry.

these guys came to my highschool during band camp yesterday. amazing show!!! whenever i showed up danny raymond and murray gusseck like just walked in front of me.

for an olde snare, that ability, for brass-lines to sustain lengthy chords, by having, staggered intonations, and always; on-pitch- is just " the wonder of modern drum corps ", thank you for posting this insight; watching a brass-teacher in-action.... bedford joe

Andre Feagin is amazing :) & so was that cut off

fantastic quality, I hope to see more drum corps videos look like this

LMAO!!! WOW!!!! i just got like ten million shivers!!! omg!

This is going to be a great year.

Oh my God dude the quality is incredible two thumbs up on the vid dude.

Best I've ever heard SCV!!

scv's show left me in tears last night. 89, 99, and now..possible '09 world champs? i have my fingers crossed. take it home vanguard.

It's arranged from Appalachian Spring by Aaron Copland. In an amazing turn of events, people other than Bach wrote great music.

I am in love with this brassline this year. wow!!

this hornline is so amazing

The word beautiful doesn't even give this justice.

that is absolutely beautiful

amazing sound and amazing video

this is my absolute favorite piece in the world and im such a marching freak that when they mixed the 2 together i cant even explain it the build up to 1:04 is my favorite part by far best warm up ive ever seen in my life

Santa Clara Vanguard is SOOOOO Amazing. Keep up the great work, both hornline and drumline and staff and just everybody affiliated with the Santa Clara Vanguard ps. i saw an impulse flag in the backround

AWESOME IN HD I LOVE SCV!!!!!!!!!

Great job SCV! Lovely overtones!!

Watching this with my 2 year old son on my surround sound. volume at 35 out of 50 he has to turn it more...DCI runs in the family

these guys are bad ass..... im loving the chords

wow, I need to get my ears checked...it was worth it!!! NOW FOR ROUND TWO!!!

I thought I was watching a commercial for a second. The 5D Mark II is quite nice i'd say.

that...cutoff... after the awesome chord......-speechless-

that was BEAUTIFUL

He is a godly conductor!!

wow amazing............ SCV is back!!!!

WOW...This is my Band Director HE IS THE BEST.

almost brings tears to my eyes. so great.

Wow.. This really is all in one! Beautiful sound quality, image quality AND brass quality! XD

I miss real conducting like this. Where you can see the passion.

chills every time.

Look up: Appalachian Spring - Aaron Copland LIVE They are a small group from Australia, but the part used in this video is at 6:10 - 6:28 of their recording.

Gave me the chills.. oh my!

SVC had one of the more musical Hornlines this year (and that I've ever heard from them!!). This coming from a Phantom Phan. Great job Santa Clara!!

Beautiful Santa Clara Vanguards... Gets me everytime!

Aw man...that did NOT resolve the way I expected it to, and I can't stop listening to that crescendo.

After the 100th time....I still live this!!

@SThomas992 The guy in the video is Andre Feagin. He's with Academy for this season. Carichner is the new caption head at Phantom. He was with Academy from 2006-11. You can look at Phantom and Academy's website for the stories.

Almost Shed a tear Amazing!!

That cutoff gave me goosebumps
