I don't understand why this stuff isn't more mainstream? I don't get it. Marching band/drum corps is still like this, offshoot side interest thing not really seen by the public at large as a serious discipline/art form worthy of bigger recognition. I mean I was in marching band of course but the first time I heard a live drum corps warming up I was amazed at the spectacle I was beholding. Good grief I teared up once it was so powerful and beautiful. I thought more people need to know this exists! More people need to know that this kind of entertainment is available for them to consume and make their lives better.
Talent isn't often rewarded with fame. If this was mainstream it would be very expensive for the music industry. It's cheaper to highlight less talented "artists" that only require about 10 people to produce with little to no practice.
Yeah.. whoever that was.. man, that was just something else. I couldn't imagine that it was an issue all season, else he would probably have been chewed to shit
I love hearing these "lot" Recordings because its really the only time you really get to hear the horn line without electronic instruments drowning them out.
I really hope they add back the huge descending chord progression in the Metropolis 1927 finale (the last 20 seconds of this video) at some point, as it feels very incomplete without it. I understand they only have 18 minutes total to enter, set up, perform and exit the field; the chord progression is another 20-25 seconds.
The whole finisher is so fun on mellophone… I was curious so about 3 years ago I sat down and learned it by ear and I was so glad cause it’s stupid fun
And if you go down to where the field is and take a left you’ll find me working concessions probably giving someone a Gatorade missing half of their performance 😃
Kevin boyer Ansley, I would love to see them in Aussies however, the more I see the show the more I realize it absolutely does not fit with what they're doing visually. I truly hate to say it because I love them in an Aussie. The End.
@Dan Hurd et al...I think a lot of us “BITD Alums” would like to see them in Aussies again but I think no headwear works for this show. I am still not 100% sold on the “cricket leggings” and would prefer a more traditional pant look (perhaps with a dark maroon stripe to match the “V” in the top), but I’m not a WGI fashion consultant although I have stayed at a Holiday Inn Express a few times.

I don't get why some of the players attack so hard with the tongue, I assume they are taught this way. Just as a preference I prefer softer intonation. Can really notice on this video especially from lower trumpet and some of baritones.
It’s because there are so many players that the attack has to be perfect or else it’s gonna sound completely like shit. The caveat to this is that the attack is super punchy because all of that sound is starting very loud very quickly
The bunchy crotch pant look is not flattering, especially in varying degrees of bunchyness across different body types. The tops from a distance look like old skool college frat boy sweaters. Just my opinion. Back to the drawing board for next year & hope for a cleaner snappier fresh design.
Is it just me or is it a lack of fluidity with marching individually and collectively? What is wrong with the marching in drum corps nowadays????? And these were the champeens!!!!!
@@pxrplexed3501 yeah, like critisizing uniforms makes sense, they do look like storm trooper PJs after all, but there's no way you can sweep their amazing sound under the rug
