Someone should save that clip at the beginning of matt singing the baritone part and put it over wherever that is in the crown 2020 show when that becomes available
Too often we tend to see the finals results and neglect to consider the process of getting to that point. And it starts with this video. Another fantastic Crown year is in the works....
It's a lot of work and I remember camps in the 90's being just like this. Not much has changed in that aspect. Giving up several weekends each month along with the major holidays leading up to summer is a big commitment.
No one believes in his members more than Matt does. Nobody sees their potential, capability, and aaaaand, the dynasty they are building with every practice, every show, every single performance.
Working under Harloff was tough. He was Tough, just tough. But he just wants you all to be champions. He meant the world to my sister. Ill never see him again. But 2 members of the Avon Marching band 2000 - 2004 classes will never really be able to thank him enough for his belief in us.
Without prior experience marching in a corps, they most likely wouldn't make it. Crown is very competitive and in order to make it you need to stand out. That means either have experience that others don't or have skills that others don't. If you aren't an all State caliber musician, I wouldn't be trying out for crown with no experience in dci.
@@poconofriend777 one of my friends made the coats last year as a teenager with no drumcore experience so I guess you can try, juat dont expect to get in
greggsovereasy the only drum corps experience I have had is with Crown. Biggest thing is to show that you have the mindset to be there. Obviously individual talent is needed as well but it’s possible.
Seeing this as the beginning product makes me hate Covid 19 all that much more because these kids and us fans were denied the end product. Stay safe and let's hope that Crown and everybody in DCI comes back from this horrible event strong and stable.
So I’m trying out for genesis in 2021 to get experience but I’ve always wanted to join one of the higher corps like BD, bluecoats, or vanguard. I’m really starting to think about doing crown instead though because I freaking love the director
okay so I am a snare drummer and I don't know if this is stupid or not, but that was loud... i haven't even gotten to the actual playing yet, I'll brb edit: my headphones exploded
Can someone please explain why they're putting their bells next to each other's ears starting 7:52? I get the flexibility exercise, but don't understand any sonic benefit to each student orienting themselves that way.
Ronald Lance Teel Byers I’ve done the exercise before and what I remember is that it’s so that you can hear your partner and give feedback. So a kind of learning teaching exercise
Best guess after a few listenings (all concert pitch): Trumpets sustain Eb major, bottom up Bb-Eb-G. Next chord is Ab minor, but tubas on Eb. Melodic passing motive for Mellos is Ab-Bb-Cb. Bari/Euph move to A Major (E-A-C#, tubas still on Eb). Last chord is Eb Major. (Bari/Euphs resolve Up; everyone else resolves down or stays on Eb. Maybe some lead mellos move to high Eb.)
@@TheBANDit_67 Just takes practice, like any other skill. You could start by using a keyboard, trying to match up pitches as you play along. Also, improvisation helps: Makes your brain/ear focus outside the box, adding insight you might not otherwise think about. After awhile, your brain starts to "map out" what you hear. Granted, in this simple Crown example, nothing new was going on; we've heard stuff like this before. Pattern recognition more than anything. Some people on RU-vid have transcribed entire shows, lol. Mad respect to them!
It breaks my heart. So much time, work, and dedication is put in by these talented musicians and staff..........then we ad the electronic synthesizer and blow all that work out the door ! Call me a purist. What made DCI special to me was every note came out of a human being. And when a corps would capture that sound (1996 for me, couldn't believe the lower brass sound of Regiment) It would be a special thing.....and it came from a human being....not a microprocessor ! I don't want this misconstrued because I love the lot videos. Monster sounds...monster talent. The shows just aren't the same any more because a guy banging amplified sounds on a keyboard isn't doing it for me and is not what Drum Corps is......to me at least.
Hey, new gen DCI fan here. I can agree with your sentiment, to an extent. There are places where synths can sound and add to the experience of a show tenfold, but at the current moment, corps are having a hard time finding where those spots are. I feel like bluecoats 2014 and 2015 definitely had an excellent usage of the synth, without making the hornline insignificant. CC 2019 was definitely a step in a better direction with the synths, same as SCV 2018. I like the idea of having a time and place for the synths (Drum features seem like the ideal spot, or some creative gimmicks, idk), but at the same time leaving the meat of the music to the hornline. I feel like if DCI pushes in _that_ direction, we will get to see some truly beautiful shows. But who knows, maybe they won't, but I feel like DCI is just evolving in a way that's against the grain. I really miss 16 contra lines, though. CC 2012's contra line was impenetrable.
This is just weird - the musicianship and playing in DCI (and all of the marching arts) have never been done at a higher level than they are today. The electronics don't take the place of the human musicians, they enhance what they can do and give more options for sound.
3:54 I feel bad for the kid in the middle because it looks and feels bad to be the only one not uniform and I just feel sorry that he had an instrument issue.
