Love that chorale at the beginning! Have they done that in years past? And my goodness, the clarity, blend, resonance, and power of this hornline is simply unmatched.
It’s a mix of Longtime Traveler and Carolina in my Mind from the 2021 production. It’s for the alumni from all over who travel far to come back home, I’m going to Carolina In My Mind…
They have that 20 points sound. Even the discords are in perfect tune. Its sad that all Matt Harloff can do each year is plato at perfection over and over again. Its so freakin satisfying to listen to them.
they're not standing on a plateau, it's more like fighting to tread water. they still have to sound that good on the field every night, while in motion. perfection is a process not a state, at least in DCI. Glad they have a great instructor to help them get there
@@BluesClues2s You're preachin' to the choir! I was in drum corps from 1990-1995 and was with Star of Indiana briefly in 1993. I know Matt Harloff so I go way back when Star was the #1 hornline in the world. I was 1st trumpet (back then they were sopranos), soloist and horn captain. So I know all about the process of perfection my guy.
Matt Harloff is the best DCI band director (or whatever job he has at Carolina Crown). He hears perfection in the band, and he knows the potential of the band, and then he brings it out during the season.
I hate how modern phones limit loud volumes so much. You can clearly hear this happen at 2:32. I just want the big moments to come across on camera, I don’t give a shit if it clips the mic a little. I tried recording a few songs from a metal concert a while back, but the same thing happened, and the dynamics of the show were completely flattened on video, and then the sound of people cheering after the song ends was way louder.
