This one is definitely a banger haha. Also, as stated in the video I'm playing in San Jose for my first solo concert in the USA on Sunday November 6 at Valley Christian High School's Conservatory of the Arts! I'm so excited to present a solo program by myself for the first time in a while :)) #TheStudioFamily
Man, I'll always regret not being able to participate in DCI. I was such a pit fanatic but I could never afford the like $5000 or whatever it cost for the summer to participate. Having that in your college years is so difficult, when you don't have a family that can just spare that much money. Now I'm 25 and living in Japan, and I can only look on with envy lol.
Adam, that spinny thing that you said looked like a car wheel is actually an upside down roto tom frame. If you mount it on a cymbal stand, you get that scraping sound.
Adams asks about how they have the stamina for these runs but you gotta remember that stamina in these ensembles doesn't exist because of how much they practice. They legit practice for 2 months straight for DCI championships. Of constant wakeup practice eat sleep repeat.
I love the Blue Devils' Use of that Xylophone. Watching the show as a whole, the writing is so damn good, and it fits in amazing, especially with how well it was played. Truly incredible talent.
@@AdamTanPercussion I marched in 1984....shows were VERY different back then! You should check out some of the older stuff....no headcams, tho, and the pits sometimes got no love at all. I'd be happy to help you if you wanted to do MY show!
Hearing protection is a must in Front ensemble BTW, Especially drum corps, you have 100 brass players right behind you playing as loud as possible, the occupational noise is a real hazard, I played timpani right by the gong and bass, the guy next to me the year previously lost all hearing in his left ear because he was next to the gong and bass, you better believe I wore some musician earplugs every rep! Seriously if you love music keep your ears working well, wear earplugs!
Go Bloo!!!!!! They have my favorite pit writing. All those textures, they even use motors on their vibes, which is unusual in marching groups! Bluecoats has a lot of cool stuff going on I don't know if you know, but a lot of people aren't too keen on the Blue Devils' show concepts recently, but personally, I'm really always impressed by the members.
Honestly the irrational trolls and haters with no sense of rhythm were the only ones who "wasn't too keen" on the Blue Devils. Everybody in the world, particularly in Japan, and in the audience at stadiums all summer (we were there in person) went berserk over their summer croon jam Moon River, Silk Sonic, and of course Tank!
This simply isn't true. Blue Devils has the biggest fan AND alumni base (they started out as a junior drum and bell corps 65 years ago), three corps in its organization, the most experienced members, the most consistent staff, and travels the most distance of any corps to get to shows they compete at. Online, their videos regularly get >1M+ views. They've won gold 3 out of the last 4 competitive seasons, this past one being their twentieth win. It just seems like when one is successful and has found a winning formula to win consistently, and we can't find any dirt or skeletons in the closet, we start latching on to any little thing to bring them down and minimize their success (speaking in general, not directly at you).
The Bluecoats show was just insanely great. I saw it several times over the summer, and finals week. worth finding a video, and watching it a few times to get it.
I sincerely ask you to react to Boston Crusaders 2022 show “paradise lost”, I’m sure you’ll be impressed by the drum lines superb playing, but whatever you do, don’t watch the finals run
