I love this ballad so much. It's s so beautiful the chords are so well played it makes my eyes water I had the advantage to listen to this ballad live and it made me want to cry I hope I get to hear another ballad just like this or even better in the future
Video quality is always amazing in your videos. You don't know how much us band nerds appreciate the work you do! Hope you have some wonderful footage from Indy. My life would be complete with a SCV 16 Video! Thank you again!
I was going to say thanks, but to me, the real quality work here was the Blue Devils :) I just held a camera on a stick. But thanks for watching and for your comments.
+Eyoel Abera glad you're enjoying this recording! Thanks for the love. This is also before the tweaks they made to the ballad in the following days, so I am glad to have this recording of it in addition to what I captured finals weekend 😊
Glad you enjoy it. Critiques welcome. Time for TL;DR comment... In this case they only did a couple show excerpts due to the long walk to the gate. I thought of saving this limited footage for a longer BD compilation like I did last year, but I just figured most viewers would prefer having something now, even if just a teaser. As far as, long tones, lip slurs, tonguing exercises, breathing exercises... Yeah, important and educational stuff, but it would bore potential newcomers who aren't brass players, not to mention I'd have to skip other hornlines playing fun stuff while I hung out for 45 minutes. So I rarely record that stuff just to save myself time and terabytes. 😛
Won't repeat my response to a similar comment here, but how much footage I get varies. Thought about hanging onto this footage until I had enough for a longer compilation, but figured in the age of Instagram, most viewers would prefer having something now rather than waiting. There will be more footage soon!!
+HornlineFanatic yeeeeeeeesssss you guys do Amazing work, you should do a video on the equipment you use to capture the amazing audio and video, I would love to know!
