Bluecoats three-year vet and ageout Javi Ayala Baritone/Bass Trombone/Trombone Octet POV Semi-Finals Runthrough 8/12/16 - GoPro owned by Andrew Constans/Bluecoats Media
JAVI how am I just now seeing this??? Bro! THAT WAS AWESOME! I was literally out of my chair when y’all were hyping for the last octet! You inspire me so much dude, you have no idea. I miss it!
john slattery the bore doesnt affect it all that much those baritones are yamaha which means theyre large bore nothing in the low brass section is small bore and I asked because my dci bari/euph tech marched batitone for the coats
john slattery bore size doesn't really affect it either. It's the triggers. What makes a bass trombone a bass trombone is the fact that it has two triggers. The thing trigger alone can't hit a low b natural or lower without getting into pedal range. With the double trigger you can easily go below that making it a bass trombone
As a bass bone player I LOVE this video. 11:15 must've been so much fun. Along with those pedal tones in the ballad. What's the lowest note you had to play for the show?
This video made me switch to bass trombone 3 years ago, this was a life changing video and i am now going to be a freshman in college persuing bass trombone. Thank you
One of my favorite head cam videos. LOVE your energy and enthusiasm during the performance. This coming from an old trumpet player; although I never got the chance to march for a corp!!!
I auditioned for a corp this year on bass trombone and to have a part like yours is my ultimate dream! your energy and your OBESE bass trombone tone have absolutely inspired me :)
God. Beautiful and inspiring. I miss this activity like words can't describe, but watching this brings me back. I was cheering, crying, fist pumping... Thanks for making an "old man" happy.
I'm included in a Japanese group called Soka Renaissance Vangard. And we respect everyone of Bluecoats. The same bariton was being played, so I consulted. I'm Japanese, so English may be strange.
Literally the coolest baritone head cam I've ever seen. The amount of passion you put out is amazing all on top of you still having a little fun with your hella funny things you say during it. I wish I was you.
I love all the vocals you have during the show lol. On another note, I hope to march bluecoats in a year, and performances like these are what motivate me to work towards it!
I LOVE!!! The Transition out of the ballad into the (assuming) next movement with the trombones doing the different minor sounding notes, and IT JUST sOUNDS SO coOL!!! 8:52
as a fellow bass player (currently in high school) I whole heartedly think this is an absolutely brilliant use of the instrument, your energy just makes my day, I wish that my band could have a 10th of that energy when marching
I felt your exact energy when I was a junior in high school and I marched clarinet. Granted, I couldn’t vocalize it, but it was so much fun! Congrats on winning the world championship on your age-out year!
Being a bone player and learning how to play baritone/euph for the 2018 season, hearing and seeing this just makes me so glad I'm a bone player. And btw those pedal notes are SEXY
That ENERGY!!!! O-M-G!!!! I'm a high brass player but THIS my friends made me want to tip toe over to the low side! Awesome x100!!! Those pedal tones gave me my whole entire life! Yessuh!!! But that horn toss almost took me on out to glory!!!
I'm marching with the Colt Cadets this summer. First year of drum corps. Gonna march with the Colt Cadets until I graduate, then year with the Colts. After that hopefully Ill audition and make it into the Bluecoats until I age-out.
I love this video soooo much. I’m glad I’m related to you low brass peeps. The toss and the “gotta nut” makes me proud hahahaha. I actually look up to this video. I’m in indoor winds and whenever I feel like things are getting hard I just think of this video and apply your kind of energy to my band. Thanks for making this!!!! #idol
Amazing video!!! I applaud your energy! When auditioning for a corps as a bari/euph, will I be expected to know trombone or will it be alright if I don't?
On the topic You're going to be out of tune playing trombone at first though. Try to keep in mind you have a tuning slide in your hands, so take positioning with a grain of salt. Embouchure adjustments to your tendencies basically aren't necessary anymore.
What type of mouthpiece are you using and what is the size? I am currently learning Baritone so I can try out for Blue Coats next season and am unsure of what mouthpiece size is allowed, I play Bass Trombone and am using a Shilke 59 and Idk if they will allow me to use a mouthepeice that big or not.
Hi my name is Marcus Allen and I am a baritone player just like you and I was wondering if you could give any lessons or tips to improve and march DCI one day thanks
Not judging at all just thought it was weird but why do you play your C's 1st and 3rd valve? Guessing it's for tuning but I thought just 1st was just fine. Great cam though and congrats on the win!
This may be a dumb question, but did you use the same trombone and baritone throughout the run? I noticed you set your bari behind the ramp and used one on the sidelines later. I guess it's also possible that someone carried it there though
Jonesy actually that is incorrect. The rest of the octet and I had a second set of baris for the closer (check the video at 4:22 and 4:29) we also had bone and mouthpiece exchange in the back with other BariEuphs members
What model Gopro did you use for this recording? Btw, I loved your guys' show, and i'm so glad you won this year! I aspire to one day perform as a Bluecoat.
4 silver. And thank you! The past three years were the greatest experiences of my life. You can make it with the help of hard work, determination, and self confidence.
when you audition, do you audition on either baritone or euphonium, or do you audition on one and they assign you one of those if you make it? also, are you expected to know trombone if you make it on bari or euph? hope you see this and reply
You can audition on either and the staff can put you on either if you make it. As to knowing trombone, I have no clue. But it's not that hard, the way I learned was to assign each slide position to a fingering.
Granted I'm not part of DCI, wish I could be, just not feasible, but I started with trombone and learned baritone and tuba. If you know how to read the music it's really to learn other bass clef instruments.
On the other hand, can you audition to only play trombone without being expected to know bari or euph? Bc for some reason I've always thought that you could just march trombone the whole time, but now I'm starting to doubt that.
This is fun to watch no lie! Any advice on being able to hold a baritone for long durations of time? I ask this because you drum corp guys are just so talented!
As a drum corps guy myself. Just hold it, do a little "horn holding party". Just hold you horn for a certain amount of time. Not every night, maybe once a week. Ex. Hold it at horns up position (5 minutes) Then bring it down to carry position (5 minutes) Slowly increase your time as weeks go by. I highly suggest listening to music. It helps take your mind off of your arms wanting to die.
I know this is 6 years later, so if you cannot remember that’s okay, but out of curiosity, why did you play middle C with first and third valves so much? From a tbone player :)
Wait hollup are all the trombones in DCI other instruments just playing trombone for a short amount of time? Or can you play trombone throughout the entire song? Or does it depend on the show?Please help
Trombones used to not be allowed but now they are, so corps and especially arrangers are figuring out how to use them, if they want to march a full section for the entire show or just for a few bars as a sideline solo
So far the only corps that I know of to march a trombone section for the whole show is Mandarins 2018, they had a trombone line in addition to their euph section. Most other corps just have the baritones or euphs (or sometimes even the high brass too for Crown 2018) put down their instruments and pick up trombones for a movement. For example, Bluecoats have for the past 3 years (starting with this show in fact) always had their baritone section with a trombone feature in the closer.
