Metropolis 1927 - Black Dyke Band 

ur so right😂

You can say that again, one of the all time great performances imo. Totally nuts!

OMG please tell me that means you're going to put out a video of this! *Huge fan eyes*

Oh shit it's you! Didn't know you were into brass bands, are we gonna get a russian version of this now or what?

You should make a piano version!!

Thank you for your comment👍😊

.......to play the gamut of emotions this piece requires is truly super human!

Anne Leveridge Santa Clara Vanguard 2018

It's definitely one of the greater ones. But there are also a handful that are arguably stronger than this. Of the ones I've heard; "St. Magnus" - YBS 2004 "Concerto Grosso" - YBS 2002 "Trance" - Valaisia 2016 "Year of the Dragon" - Brittannia Building Society 1992 "Masquerade" - Fairey Band 1994 "Fraternity" - EIkanger 2017 "Variations on an Enigma" - Eikanger 1989 All are more complete perfomances in my book (and did score higher at the event). This is not to discredit this performance(!), but more to shine light on the absolute and thorough quality of the bands, and this competition.

Come oooooon!

I'd take being page turner for the 5th percussionist.

Philip Goodwin. 30+ years at the band! Distasteful comment!!!!

@@markwebster3105 nope pretty funny comment honestly

Was waiting for that mid horn pop before the end sequence, tho!

They don’t need Eb cornets for the high stuff though. They have screamers.

@@TheBandMan yes cause they play mouthpieces much smaller than the Bb cornet in a brass band

@@arimkaly3323 probably not. Marching trumpets usually are larger bore than normal trumpets, definitely larger bore than a cornet.

Gregory Campbell you just wait man, this piece in a show this year, it may just be the corps in my picture

Nah, BD will do it first

Gregory Campbell scv's doing it

Lol

SCV did it extreme justice this year. Perfect drum corps music!

Yes, i actually know the 5th solo cornet personally. He‘s a carpenter XD

Only one mistake!

The stick is reducing the reverb on the skin. It is not being struck.

Maybe timpani to late or bd to early

no it is a so called double stroke (common in effect at percussion) u got long stroke and short stroke! u try it urself !

Vanguard does it as well if not better 2018 Drum Corps International

Holy crap that ending---I bet SCV uses that. It'll be EPIC.

Nnn Iii they used just about everything they could have from this

xd

What does jonz mean

It's a reference to the drum line of the the Santa Clara Vanguard Drum & Bugle Corps....i.e "Keeping up with the Jonses." Historically, SCV has had a VERY good drum line..consistently at or near the top. SCV won the drum corps world championship this past August (their first since the tie with my old corps, the Blue Devils, in 1999, and their first stand-alone title since 1989), and they used "Journey to the Center of the Earth" in addition to "Metropolis 1927" in their program, "Babylon." ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bftH0fw1g54.html for their winning run. Metropolis was the closer, starting in earnest around the 10 minute mark.

sam signorelli it was also their second movement

Andre Garcia I hope they clean up the trumpet solo

ElzearYoung sorry, this piece is 100 times better than Journey of the Lone Wolf. The first time I heard this, I had chills. Heard the lone wolf a handful of times and I'm done with it.

well, my point was that Journey of the Lone Wolf is more difficult than this. But I also disagree about Metropolis being much better than JotLW (of course, not without respecting your opinion). Ok, the repiano solo in Metropolis is very beautiful, but the faster parts seem pretty uninspired to me, while the third movement of JotLW is without exaggeration the most spectacular piece of brass band I ever heard.

Pretty sure they aren't judging the piece, but rather the proficiency displayed by the band during the concert.

I knew BD was in for a fight when I saw them at the Rose Bowl.

Exactly Ryan!!!!!!!
