@@k_comino - I never marched. Maybe you have and know more than I regarding this. However, I’ve been in the Indianapolis Convention Center and Lucas Oil Stadium on multiple occasions and this is one of the halls in the Convention Center. The corps warm up in Military Park (my favorite part of finals week) before being bussed to the Stadium just prior to their allotted performance time. The Convention Center is the alternate warm up location if inclement weather prohibits doing so at Military Park.
@@k_comino lmao no it is not- its a MASSIVE warehouse kinda place with tons of rooms about 0.5 miles from lucas oil, the lucas oil warmup area is a decent amount of space but is miniscule compared to how big these rooms are source- in a GN finalist band
At this point its about nailing the smallest of details both visually and musically that BD do every year. They got the right staff and it’s only a matter of time that they develop that elite mindset. Have loved the growth over the past few years 👏🏽
Good grief I hate when people defend BD. Art is about moving people emotionally. BD doesn’t do that because they’ve been doing basically the same show for the past 15 years. They’re not interesting anymore.
I'm a Blue Devils fan but I honestly teared up watching the Crusaders live at Finals this year. Coming from a 8 year band student, this isn't about competition, its about respect and what you can put onto the field. I always thought the Crusaders were an OK DCI group, but after hearing them live for the first time, I now know I was so very wrong, they are AMAZING! But I am still and forever will be a Blue Devils guy and a Bluecoats guy. Also anybody else think 7:30-8:19 should be a movie ending? Like I think this should be the background music at the end of a really good action movie. Just me?
it has been many times, it's lacrimosa. and a sprinkle of What a wonderful world. it's such a unique and ingenious combination. I 100% agree with you though, add some strings and vocals and this would be so epic
So Boston Crusaders did UK back in the 80’s. Anyone remember as I’ve tried to get a copy of their production from back then if it even exists. I remember hearing Samson and Deliliah (Bachenallea I think it was called) being sung which was stunning….
so sad i couldn’t march this year! it would’ve been my age out but i couldn’t march due to injury. Boston and Bloo were the ones i was auditioning for which would’ve been absolutely sick if i was in one of them. i consider myself a Scouts alumni because i marched with them but who knows who i would’ve marched with lol. also Boston’s brass line was so clean this year and Gino is such a nice dude!
I marched open class in 2012 for one year and the biggest regret of my life is not marching my last two years of eligibility, much less joy going world class. I was scared I wasn’t good enough to make it and I let that fear dominate my actions. My thought was I wasn’t a music major in college so I needed to focus and devote my time to studies/extra curricular things in my area of study to brighten my future job prospects to improve my resume. Well… Here I am almost ten years after my age out year, not having accomplished anything I thought I was going to do or be career wise where I thought I’d be (lawyer, diplomat, government/public service) (still a work in progress) I thought I had it all figured out back then thinking marching more drum corps wouldn’t have helped me going forward, but god was I wrong. If I could go back and slap the 20-year old version of myself silly to make myself realize that then and there, I would in a heartbeat and give all the things I have to go back and march those two years of eligibility I had. You’ve got your whole life to worry about your career or adult priorities once you get there, but you only have so many years to march drum corps. And I can say from experience, that once that time comes and goes and you realize you can’t turn the clocks back to live your dream, it’ll eat away at your soul and tear you apart as it has for me. If there’s any type of wisdom or advice I can impart on anyone still young enough to march, worry about “adulting” and overall life goals later and live up your goals/dreams to march now while you have the chance. You won’t regret it and you’ll always be able to live with the satisfaction of knowing you took the chance and succeeded in having the best summers of your life. Above all, cultivating the best memories and relationships that will last a lifetime. It’s sad to see this activity is on the verge of dying because of the astronomical and outlandish costs to march and maintain corps structures alive. I hope they get it together quickly and find solutions. The death of DCI cannot happen and would destroy the hopes and dreams of millions to come to desire to participate. Moreover, the hard work, sacrifice and perseverance of millions who have come before and have set the example would be tarnished. #RTN 💙
It was just entitled Game of Thrones when they released the audition packets, I’m not sure the actual name of the song but it is indeed from Game of Thrones
why... why... oh, why... just conduct and just follow. There's lots of light and NOBODY in the way of seeing the conductor. That dam metronome just RUINS it.

There's room for interpretation with hands. Different conductors conduct different ways. There is no interpretation with a met. You just play with it. I am thoroughly grateful to have had the met going during all of our warmups

Drum Corps should just create a CD every year with tracks of them playing warm ups and show warm up areas. I would buy it.
A lot of times, I like them better than the shows
I just keep listening to this video. It’s great.
It's nice to actually be able to tell what the horn line is doing.

3:14 help im rolling on the ground in tears this was so clean
Great season you guys!!! Loved your shows. Made all of us here in Boston proud!!!
The Lacrimosa hit is my hands down favorite piece of music in DCI history
That's among my top 5 and then the beginning of this video just gave me chills.
I really love how they arrange their music.

That’s what happens when you have 10 contra vets that are INSANE
you dont even have to try to imagine that they sound like an organ, they literally turned this gym into an organ

I can hear a lot more in this video then I ever heard live.
Flo doesn't make dci in the big stadium sound very good
@@jackhawkins9648 That is the understatement of the decade! Recordings from 20-30 years ago had a much fuller brass sound than they do now!
@@johns3106 bugles to Bb horns my friend
@@dasmudhe9969 Truth!!
You guys sound better than the first place corps. Crazy work this summer :)
I agree their sound is so much better, so was their show. Devils just won because they were one of the cleanest shows i've ever seen
Boston beat Blue Devils in Brass in finals
@@spaghettiyolo7778 like they should.
are they playing on Yamaha's like when gino was with the cadets?
What I would do to hear Boston or any other drum corps for that matter play lacrimosa live😍 7:30 - 8:19
Best years of my life was being in the drum corp when I was a teenager. Muchachos.NH.🥁
Incredible hornline!
Fantastic revival especially as I refer tho the 80’s. Here forty odd years later…. Pleasing
Literal butter
Congrats on 2nd place. Next year Shoot for FIRST!!!
@@davidtrowbridge3709 blue devils didn’t deserve first
Infused with bacon and 90% chocolate.

I can't believe it's not butter ☝🏼
gosh the beginning is so nice
Ok everyone talks about the trombone feature, BUT THE CLOSING HIT IS SOMETHING ELSE
I wish the dci programs would be in Philadelphia again. We saw them in 1976 i think. They still give me chills.
god I always love rehearsing in that room.
Such talented young people amazing love Boston
My goodness @7:30 sounded like it came straight from a movie! Great playing! 🎶💯
Sounds like a pipe organ
Could be a great Danny Elfman soundtrack.
7:50 onwards is a human pipe organ
The mello lick at around 4:45 is one of the most evil things I've heard
