I have thousands of dollars of high end stereo equipment, and I haven't found a single set of speakers that can handle/deliver the big soprano hit at 4:30. I'm so glad I saw this show live, because NO stereo on earth can do it justice!
After all these years, 4:54 is the moment I keep coming back for. The expression on the drum major's face when the contras come in is exactly what I feel, and her expression reminds me exactly of my favorite drum major growing up. This was a tremendous show, and that particular entrance was such an enjoyable moment 2014 was a great year, but the right corps clearly won
This is by far my favorite hornline video that's out there to listen to! My speakers in my car are never the same after listening to this so loud! On top of this show being my favorite, BD brass this year (2014) is my favorite. Can't wait to audition for them for the 2017 season!
I never got to see them, because I found out about dci last year, still haven't even seen a show in person yet, but I can feel the talent seeping from my phone right now
Just WOW. The trumpet feature sounded like it was on Finale, except the sound quality was outstanding. I feel like the accuracy (from a timing standpoint) couldnt be done better, even by a computer. You go Blue Devils. Always #1
The guy at :42 second mark is thoroughly impressed. The lady drum major towards the end knows she has the keys to a well oiled kick ass brass machine and loves every minute of it.
You can! I was in your shoes not that long ago. Practice like you want to be there and you'll get there! I had a blast aging out in this corp this year. Best of luck!
thanks man. I don't think my dad would let me stop practicing because he is a band director and all so hopefully ill be good enough to join a top 12 corp
Thank you very much for the kind words!! It was a very fun summer and a great show that I was blessed to be a part of. And also send thanks to your father for being a music educator and supportive parent! Best of luck and let me know if you have any questions!
Every time I listen to that intro I shit myself. And then when the low brass comes in I shit myself even more. It's so good I can't control my bowel movements.
The trumpet introduction is two things, it's a bizarrely complicated and difficult piece of music that appeases the technical aficionados, but it's also an example of the absurdity in Fellini's work. It's an extended, almost paranoid pre-show teaser, grotesque and overblown like a carnival barker who's selling admission to a freak show. It's a grand, never-ending entre-act that draws us in, hiding the ugly truth until after we enter-- we suddenly realize that there's nothing behind it. Just like a circus sideshow, you've been duped. After the intro is over, things turn suddenly dark. You realize this is the desperate side show of your life, with suicidal clowns and dancing girls who are an illusion-- they're not interested in dating you, you've been fooled again. They'd rather party and smoke cigars with their feet up on the stage-- the stage they're supposed to be dancing naked on. The entire corps creates a company front facing the wrong way-- this show has gone unexpectedly and decidedly awry. Our life in art is simply unfixable. At the end, the broken film actors assemble on a stage tableau, ready to be captured in a cast photo with their director-- but he never shows up. We realize that we don't really need a director, after all. We have each other-- a harkening back to Fellini's unorthodox, populist view of the world, with all its broken beauty, twisted religion, mismatched pairs and confused destinations. A masterful horn book, and the greatest drum corps show of all time.
Jay D So true. Their music is so good but their shows are wack as hell. They execute wack shit amazingly so they win all the time. The best thing about the Blue Devils are their warmup videos. (In my opinion)
@@ImVee10 fr, like it wasn't always lighting fast but they had some really complicated shapes including many circles and curves that are really hard to make look clean, especially that pivoting line from the pre-closer
Hard working group of kids right here. Everyone likes to throw around the word “talent” these days. I feel as if the thousands of hours of work these kids have put in throughout their entire lives overshadows any “talent” that might already be there. they did not achieve this level of excellence through just being talented. They worked their asses off and created something never done before.
The Blue Devil From Heaven there's little to no differentiation between anwigglenand shake. Wiggle is more old school jazz but a shake is a little jazz shake just more modern if im not mistaken

Love it! Thank you for sharing! :)
we here in Brazil are big fans of you good luck in DCI 2016
big lol
Crazy how this video got the attention of the Blue Devils themselves
And then they go and win 1st place with the highest score in DCI history
They deserved it, that opener is other-worldly
99.65 is just crazy to think about, especially given it was 10 years ago as of now. I wonder what will break the record score. 99.675?
Still my favorite drum corps video on the internet. So flipping good.
Hey aren't you a DM this year?
You are correct!
C.C. Waggoner That's so awesome man, whats the auditon process for BD like hornline wise?
Similar to other drum corps. Visual and musical ability play equal roles.
Your mello cam for Felliniesque is amazing. I hope one day I can march mello for BD.
I have thousands of dollars of high end stereo equipment, and I haven't found a single set of speakers that can handle/deliver the big soprano hit at 4:30. I'm so glad I saw this show live, because NO stereo on earth can do it justice!
then again they probably peaked the hell out of the microphone
Probably a bad recording then genius

I love how even the drum major cracks a smile when the low brass come in at 4:54.
Low brass makes everything alright
*Amazing @@justamaninTN
0:14 - 0:52 Low brass feature (kinda)
1:24 - 2:35 closer
2:48 - 3:05 i have no idea
3:05 - 3:35 inspirational speech
3:51 - 5:10 trumpet entrance to the drum break
4:29 / 4:52 chills
4:39 "wow"
2:48 - 3:05 looks like they’re practicing triple tonguing
2:48 - 3:05 trumpet feature IPT
😂😂😂😂😂 “I have no idea”
That opener gives me chills every single time I hear it.. It's gorgeous. One of the most gorgeous sounds I have ever heard in my entire life.
About 9 years later and still love this video.
I sat right in front of the trumpets here, like maybe 6 or 7 feet from the leads. I had an out of body experience.
so
loud
Collette Brown hi
อำดับ1ในใจเลยครับวงนี้
could you say it was "out of this world"?
Collette Brown can't even imagine
Malik Campbell really

+josh 42732 good luck ;)

this makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside, it literally doesnt even sound real thats how good this is
4:21 gets me everytime dude, swear it makes me tear up. I miss being in band :(
For what its worth, this is my favorite BD recording thats online.
Just WOW. The trumpet feature sounded like it was on Finale, except the sound quality was outstanding. I feel like the accuracy (from a timing standpoint) couldnt be done better, even by a computer. You go Blue Devils. Always #1
this is why i marched this corps..innovation..just the best..period.
The guy at :42 second mark is thoroughly impressed. The lady drum major towards the end knows she has the keys to a well oiled kick ass brass machine and loves every minute of it.
Golly this is fun to listen. I'd say fully 5% of the views on this are mine.
+Chris Allen add another 2% from me
Derek Smith add another 3% to that
Greatest production of all time right here. Absolutely amazing.
I play mellophone in a high school band and these guys are so unreal. Hope i can perform with them someday
You can! I was in your shoes not that long ago. Practice like you want to be there and you'll get there! I had a blast aging out in this corp this year. Best of luck!
thanks man. I don't think my dad would let me stop practicing because he is a band director and all so hopefully ill be good enough to join a top 12 corp
and congrats on being in blue devils Ryan Greer. I freakin loved your show man.
Thank you very much for the kind words!! It was a very fun summer and a great show that I was blessed to be a part of. And also send thanks to your father for being a music educator and supportive parent! Best of luck and let me know if you have any questions!
its 5 years later.. were you able to join the corp?
Thank you sooo much for this video! Finally something with perfect sound quality. This is sick!
Listen at 0:29 and hear that one high note, its fantastic.
GOOD GAWD!!! Man at 4:53 I hit the floor -- FAINTED!! That was AWESOME!!!!! Geez, you talk about POWER from low brass -- DAYUM!! #BD4LYFE!!
0:28 that lead trumpet shake 👌
One of my favorite programs ever.
Will forever be my favorite show and warm up.
God that trumpet hit at 4:29 is shimmering gold
Love that one trumpet that really sticks out and curves up the note at 2:20
Pasta still sounds freaking beautiful
Every time I listen to that intro I shit myself. And then when the low brass comes in I shit myself even more. It's so good I can't control my bowel movements.
4:53 That Euph entrance is everything! Low Brass is the best!
This is one of the best videos on RUclips
this makes my heart melt.... trumpet sustains are AH-MAYYYY-ZINGGGG
Magic and greatness mixed into 5 minutes of perfection
The guy at 0:42 his face just shows how great this show is
I wonder if he's a ex member
@@sterlingpinoy the hat means yes. Also, at 2:00 is verification.
0:42 this dude knows what's up
The opener to this show ❤️❤️❤️
I think it's funny at 3:47 the drumlins for the Blue Devils is finishing the drum break and the horn line is getting ready for the trumpet entrance.
Fantásticos !! Saudações musicais do Brasil
Almost 10 years later, and they have a total of more than 20 championships under their belts. Absolutely nuts!
1:39 = the greatest cord in history
Blue Devils brass at their Best ! and at the 3:50 damn Thanks !
they're so fucking amazing!!!! i can not wait to hear this years show
Need a change of pants
easily top 5 hornlines of the last 20 years
gotta love that thick tone those system blue mouthpieces help generate
3:56 to the end is breath taking.
Probably one of the most iconic lots of all time
I'll never get over the entrance at 4:28
i love hearing the drumline in the background 😃
OMG! you have to hear about 4:00 in!!!!! amazing.....!!!
I'm a pit guy, and I love this. Those trumpets though
That shake at 0:29 tho
jimmyseb2000 Yeah hear that Lead Trumpet tho
I didn’t hear that in the flo recording. It’s kinda sad
jimmyseb2000 what note is that
_ Anthony _ e to double g I believe
Jake Nix you’re right bro

Goosebumps every single time!
The amount of times that I've watched this video is absurd.
the shake at :30 tho, such an amazing trumpet section
That low brass tho
What a sizzling hornline top to bottom just georgeously full and resonant.
terharu banget emang. ini paket penampilan tergila. Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!
“Cavies still have the semi-finals record high score, Devils.” (2002: 99.05 to this corps’ 98.95)
“Hold our beer.”
Wait Cavies had 99.05 at 2002 semi finals??
@ Yep. But it was Magic of Orlando who first broke 99 in Division II that year.
@@ImVee10 I was literally just reading about this what the heck 😂
the trumpets are insane ...oh my gosh🤤
That closer... oh my goodness
that F major is AMAZING
4:52 Holy Christ

4:54. guys. we're setting 3 records tonight. highest score. most wins. And worlds loudest circle
Even Samuel L. Jackson enjoys BD? 0:41
Lol clearly not SLJ 😂
Little did the people know they were sitting right next to the higher score dci new recorded holder
Yeah if you want perfection it’s those mellos

Release at 4:37
Human perfection
Chills down my spine
I CRIED 😭

Blue devils girl drum major is beautiful
agreed
There’s always a guy like you
@@michaelmarchetti8902 so guys cant compliment women anymore too? Huh, crazy.
Mid
incredible.stunning.
You don't need to watch BDs shows, just watch their warm up. They don't move in the show either. lol
I love BD but that was pretty funny.
Jay D well I mean you're not wrong
Jay D So true. Their music is so good but their shows are wack as hell. They execute wack shit amazingly so they win all the time. The best thing about the Blue Devils are their warmup videos. (In my opinion)
You’re full of shit. I just watched the high cam on my Blu-ray. The 2014 drill is harder and cleaner( 20.0) than Bloo and Cadets com-fucking-bined.
@@ImVee10 fr, like it wasn't always lighting fast but they had some really complicated shapes including many circles and curves that are really hard to make look clean, especially that pivoting line from the pre-closer
hahahaha the face at 0:42
4:53 gets me every time.
0:41 TonyG?
4:09 to 4:27, WOW! Greatness!!
I wish another al go or James Goke Roderick Saunders would come around again. Those kids could conduct.

Notice the hat and in front of the contras. Love that as much as the rest of the video.
heavenly..
AHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA WATCH THE TRUMPET FEATURE IN 2X SPEED
I like the last drum major, s'cute
That wiggle dude...
It's called a shake.
The Blue Devil From Heaven there's little to no differentiation between anwigglenand shake. Wiggle is more old school jazz but a shake is a little jazz shake just more modern if im not mistaken
You're wrong
luv it
2:11 wow
