Space Chords - 2009 Blue Devils 

That awkward moment when their warmup is better than my marching band show

these guys have lungs of steel!

I miss marching!...I'm gonna Cry!

If i'm ever feeling sad, I just pull up this video... I can't help but smile when I listen to this man!

I am not a Blue Devils fan, but there is no possible way someone in their right mind can Dislike this. Simply amazing.

0:48 Am... am I being filmed?

1:56 the contras sound like a light saber!!

10 years later, this is still amazing

Damn those baritones were really pushing air

1:56 - That Bowser Laugh!

I am more of a fan of traditional style marching, but you cannot help but appreciate what these guys do. This is absolutely amazing. It certainly gave me chills.

I play alto saxophone, but even I have to say, these guys (brass) are superior sounding in an ensamble. Especially in a corp like this....Absolutly amazing

I just had an Eargasm That was the best Sound I've heard in my life!!!!!!!!!!

Heard these guys do this warmup last night at DCI in San Antonio. INCREDIBLE. Blown away, literally.

This gives me chills EVERY TIME I listen to it

Every chord sends a chill down my spine...

With headphones, total goosebumps!!!! Just wicked awesome!!!

I love the feeling you get at the end of the video! I can't describe it - something like raw power, strength, the spirit of brass... energy, teamwork? It's indescribable how beautiful and powerful this is. God, imagine if you were right in front of them!!

wow. thats just mind blowing. they are phenomonal as a whole, but the low brass blew me away. incredible.

DAMN! They had overloaded the cameras mic with like the second dynamic level playing the chords! AMAZING

As a tuba player, I must say that this sounds awesome (plus my bass boosting over ear headphones help).

This was my freshman year of high school. Trombone. My band director was smart to show us this. We went on to dominate the entire state

..trumpet high notes.. epic... Beautiful guys!!!

...even though this sounds bad on my computer this still gave me major goosebumps. AWESOME

That gets me every year, especially during Finals!... such goose bumps when they wipe out to the last 7 power chords! So close you can feel the air being pushed out from everybody :~] Nice recording.

this is the coolest fucking thing i've seen in my whole life

I had a director back in high school that was a huge DCI fan boy and we did warm ups like this. He demanded a higher standard from us and boy did we produce. I had more fun in marching band in high school than I did in college.

it always get me, every single time.. literally chills

That means you gotta work tomorrow.....that means you gotta work tomorrow...

I miss doing this...

OMG this is amazing, it is rare to find marching bands that can handle a dissonance so well.

The greatest thing I have ever heard in my life.

Their warm up was uh.... It was amazing and I want to sit in the middle while they gang me with horns

You know as soon as they were given the instruction to put their horns down every single one of them were glaring at the trumpet section because of that one trumpet holding out that last note to long xD

i love the crowd reactions, it's awesome to see a love for awesome sounds

I just listened to this in the dead of the night with headphones on and I started crying.

horysheit

That exercise has changed so much from when we played it in 84 and John Meehan's father, Jack, would run the line.

I about cried when I heard that first note...That bass sound was AMAZING, I'm so used to hearing really top-heavy music, this was a real treat. Thank you!

I can grow old and die happy with this video.

its times like these when i really regret playing the saxophone......... love the blue devils!!!

I love this very superior brass sound!!! Love the dynamic contrast and the ability to not only play at a high dynamic but also keep the quality and lack the action of overplaying!! Outstanding Job!!

AMAZING!!!!!!!! Takes true dedication to an art form for sound of that caliber. BRAVO.

It's like riding a roller coaster... kind of chill for a while while you go up the hill and then ...HOLY SCHNIEKEES!!!

I just had such a euphoric moment because there notes were so nicley in tune through out.

amaaaaaaazing! congrats on yalls exsightment of sound win for 2010. i really enjoyed the show.

That director is that only person in the world who knows what it feels like to rule the universe.

That was so AWESOMETASTIC!!!! Man, I wish I was back in high school playing with the band :D

beautiful...just beautiful i get goosebumps everytime i hear this

this never gets old!

Chills up and down my spine. Beautiful.

wow these guys are amazing gives me chills everytime i listen to this keep up the good work guys!!!

Friggin amazing. My high school did the space chords warmup last year, which was AWESOME. I miss it so much.

Absolutely Amazing!!!!

Every time i hear this i shiver. Absolutely incredible.

This definitely the best quality recording I have heard!

This video brought me to tears... =)

Simply amazing

Goosebumps every time.

CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE BLUE KIND!! I fracken loved it@!!

its the best sound that mankind will ever hear

this is the most amazing thing I have ever heard handsdown

i just got a shiver....

this quite literally makes my stomach feel like its in my throat. absolutely amazing.

I got chills just watching a video....holy crap.

Wow... that was incredible! I play tenors and snare, but I can still respect an amazing sound like that. Every aspect of the Blue Devils just blow my mind!

This video is the entire reason I am auditioning for them next year.

Simply awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

this just blows me away every time i hear it. i think if i heard this live i would die

man that flash was super awsome...wish i could click like about 6 more times...

I still get chills.

Epic. I play sax and Bass Drum. I wish I had an oppurtunity to be in this group as a Brass player, but OMG this is amazing.

I'm a freshman in High School and I've been thinking about joining DCI. But I was a bit disappointed to learn I had to switch from Trombone to Baritone. I didn't want to do it, but then I saw this, now I'm saving money to buy a marching Baritone because THIS is worth the switch. This is just epic.

That awkward moment when everyone agrees that this is a badass warm-up, and no comments need to be made about other corps! :D

That just made my day.

1:11 still gives me goosebumps!!!!! DAMB!!!!!!!!
