Thanks for posting this! Euphs don't get enough credit. Great run and love the progression through the season. Look forward to seeing next year's show.
Drum corps in Brooklyn in the '60s was not like this! I only wish my baritone playing was as sweet. What a great perspective on the evolution of this incredible activity! Thanks for posting!
Great show and a great run, I feel like I've watched this same show but at the same time each different cam and angle breaths new light on how much work you guys are really putting into this show. Great stuff! :D
Any tips for note accuracy playing those fast passages like flight of the bumblebee? I can play at decent speeds doing something like an improv jazz solo on bone/trumpet where it’s all off the top of the head but when playing off a written passage I tend to miss/smear lot of the in between notes runs and things like that.
Is it really hard to get into the blue devils for low brass? I just turned 16 and an thinking of trying out next year or in two years. I play trombone in a really up there jazz band (JLCYO), but have never been in a drum corps or marching band. I can pick up motions very quickly because I did dance but I don't have any prior experience with marching. Also, I am mainly a bone player, so how's the adjustment to euphonium? In 8th grade I picked up a baritone and was able to play it well, but honestly flight of the bumble bees scared me a bit.
Hello! Congratulations, I’m sure they’re great. Auditioning for the blue devils can be quite the challenge for someone who has never marched or has experience marching in an outside marching band. A lot of what we do at the blue devils isn’t taught, the staff expects performs to already have a strong fundamental knowledge of what we are doing in order to achieve at such a high level. Of course it is unquestionable that the staff at blue devils teaches at a high level however they don’t teach much fundamentals. As it’s expected, being a member of the blue devils that you already know and have a good foundation and fundamental knowledge of what you are doing. Auditioning for experience is never a bad thing, so I encourage it!
Not trying to ruin your dream but almost nobody makes BD without some form of world class experience. I'd suggest you go for a group that places 10th or below. If you are just learning bari, you're going to need a summer or 2 before you try out for BD.
I used to play trombone in 6th grade then i played percussion full till 8th grade and started to play trumpet as a secondary and i am going to be full time trumpet next year so
Think of the slide positions as fingerings on baritone, it makes the transition process a lot easier in terms of playing. As for marching with a baritone or euphonium, get comfortable with the weight of holding the horn and the physical demand it takes to march with a baritone of euphonium. Hope that helps!
Ivan Cordova I wish I'd known that my first year marching baritone. But my section leader said the main reason why a baritone/euph is so heavy because we need GAINZ
Ivan Cordova I'm in my schools marching band and play a marching baritone and euphonium in regular band, just wanted to say good work. You don't see many videos of the low brass. Good sound
I love this show wtf lol it's probably one of my favorites and my schools favorite like I have friends who hate bd and say its overrated but say except metamorph. This is an amazing show ur the first to ever say that lol

Jesus christ flight of the bumblebee goes hard.
That dent on the horn though lol
Lol It ruined the euph
Hey my marching baritone was created in the cretaceous period and is completely covered in dents and scratches and it sounds great.
Lmao
3:27 woah...that was clean
Watching this while I’m about to start band camp tomorrow wish me luck 😭
Finished band camp 2 weeks ago hope you're not dying
rip
i just had my last day of band camp
it was a great four years :)
@@stephenowens5091 it’s my last year and I’m thankful I’m having band camp. Did you cry😂cuz I know I would cry if it was my last time.
@@benjaminli188 i have it in 2 weeks. Last year!! I didn’t end up having 2020 marching band season cuz of covid but next week I am
When you think “oh yeah I can get that good in 5 years and probably join a drum Corp” and then you see 3:44 and are like “okay maybe not”
Are you this good now?
@@MrPancake-vm7bl Give them two more years
@@Stonkzy Got a year to go now
It’s been 5 years now
@@mxtty5633 chat I did not join a drum corp 💀
That’s some intense BREATHING action going on
The only way to get rid of tension
I felt it at 11:40 when they went 🚂

It is my pleasure! Thank you for the kind words Will Wright!
Damn. You're the first vet I've seen to not be mad at recent changes to the activity... Great to know you exist!
@@RedOneLeader right? lol
I'm a percussionist but I like looking at the different perspectives and the euphonium sound wonderful. Great job!
You are now the fourth video that pops up when you search euphonium, not bad
Well now its first-
Was that visual at 8:25 making fun of blue coats lmao
Yep
Such a beautiful sound
Great show and a great run, I feel like I've watched this same show but at the same time each different cam and angle breaths new light on how much work you guys are really putting into this show. Great stuff! :D
Me: *hesitates for 0.05 seconds when the light turns green*
The car behind me: 11:40
That was absolutely amazing! Great job
Great run! Thanks for posting. Keep up the good work man. 👌
7:58 I felt that😪
I had earbuds on and when they hit the bass drum in the beginning i got ear raped
You should post more euph videos. I just started marching baritone this year and this is pretty neat!
11:50... what happened to the video?
He transcended above the dci gods
It morphed
I love all of those glisses they used

I always imagine how sick it must have been the first time they ran through the ballad together
Yo it’s Ivan
Can you upload KevinC headcam?
Ah, I wish I could try out but I'm a flute 😭 still cool to watch tho! Keep it up guys

That mouthpiece tho

by any chance you know what brand the trombone was?
Joe Mateo Yes, Bach Stradivarius
Why is the number ‘81’ written on your arm?(yes I know im 2 years late)
It's the number 18, which at the time of this recording represented our 18th Championship title that we were about to win
Ivan Cordova ahhhh I see ya😉
Does the head cam video exist for the euphonium who is featured with the flugelhorn?
Soccerfan133 I thought he was a trumpet but yeah he posted a headcam
He didnt sorry but his name is scott downs
Bruh. What brand marching Euph do you have. It sounds nice af
the whole corps uses system blue ive heard bad stuff about them though so dont buy it and you can find much better euphoniums for a cheaper price
@@bun-bun5623 They used just standard System Blues in 2018 and 2019. They’re using King System Blues in this videos which are nice.
I'm a euph player, but i don't think I could learn to play trombone to
Im thinking of doing baritone because I want to try out for blue devils and im a trombone. Any tips?
Griffin Roberts don’t suck
Thank you

finger dexterity
Adrienne_Le Ann that's exactly what I was going to say
What mouthpiece are you using?
System Blue Euphonium Mouthpiece
Would that work for large bore tenor trombone?
Yes, it's a large bore mouthpiece
How different is between baritone and euph??
It’s the same instrument. Just one is a little heavier
Also the euphonium has a more rich yellow sound and the baritone is brighter, its similar to the difference between a trumpet and a flugel horn
Euphonium has a conical bore and baritone has a cylindrical bore which means the euphonium has a warmer sound than the baritone
Do you have to know how to play trombone to audition for euphonium
No, just euphonium.
Ethan it would help tho
Oh my god you are so fucking good Jesus Christ
Haha Thank you so much :)
My fav. Part has to be 5:45
Same
I can’t tell weather ur talking about the song or the girl
10:20 for me
Same
Used to play baritone/euphonium, I'm a traitor tho, now I play percussion
I used to play trombone in 6th grade then i played percussion full till 8th grade and started to play trumpet as a secondary and i am going to be full time trumpet next year so
Are u still on blue devils
Kaseem Rogers Unfortunately no, I aged out this past summer
@@ivan_a_cordova will you do dca?
Are you a main trombonist or euphist?
My Primary is Euphonium
Is there any advice on someone who's main is trombone and is trying out for pacific crest on baritone
Think of the slide positions as fingerings on baritone, it makes the transition process a lot easier in terms of playing. As for marching with a baritone or euphonium, get comfortable with the weight of holding the horn and the physical demand it takes to march with a baritone of euphonium. Hope that helps!
Ivan Cordova Ty so much!!
Ivan Cordova I wish I'd known that my first year marching baritone. But my section leader said the main reason why a baritone/euph is so heavy because we need GAINZ
did u age out or your not coming back?
No I have not aged out! And as of right now I intend on returning
Ivan Cordova I'm in my schools marching band and play a marching baritone and euphonium in regular band, just wanted to say good work. You don't see many videos of the low brass. Good sound
Ivan Cordova You guys are my favorite dci and would love to see you guys in person. Nice work that you guys do
that's what they all say "blue devils are my favorite drum corps"
you took off your picture on the 2018 roster , you marching somewhere else?
Is this a system blue euph?
Yes, it is
Ivan Cordova Cool, is it an older model? My SBE has brass accents.
@@bob11950 This is a King System Blue. The System Blues in 2018 and ‘19 had gold accents.
What brand trombone is that
Riley Hughes | i think blue devils uses system blue everything
Bach Stradivarius
When do you age out
Ryan I ageout in 2019
3:30 I would die
but your spacing😂😂
Qu
That dent annoys me
Not gonna lie i love the blue devils but i felt this show was more for the judges and not the people watching
We should keep our opinions to ourselves and just appreciate the performers working tirelessly all summer to put on the show of their lifetimes :)
I love this show wtf lol it's probably one of my favorites and my schools favorite like I have friends who hate bd and say its overrated but say except metamorph. This is an amazing show ur the first to ever say that lol
