There were so many tear-jerking shows from PIW groups this year, but Rhythm X... I personally think they could've done their show at either piano or fortissimo and everyone would still love it. With all the running and notes on the floor, these guys had an 11/10 season.
For those of you who are curious what i used to shoot this // Body: Sony A7iii // Lens: Sony 70-200mm f2.8 GM // Mic: Rode Stereo Vidmic Pro // All strapped on to a monopod
R-X and Dartmouth were my favorite two shows. (online, not there in person)I heard What is Hip, and Channel 1 Suite, only saw it one time so now looking forward to repeat views. This is an amazing show!
I thought this show was too busy in my opinion but I really liked pulse and rcc’s shows because there’s always a couple of shows for me that I can listen to throughout and still get the message and I didn’t really get the music with the theme tbh
See, when you're watching Rhythm X's newer shows, you really have to stop and ask yourself: Is this show as good as 2009? And the answer will *always* be no. TOUCH FOREVER
Imagine getting contracted for vibes to have the opening feature played by the marimbas, the following feature played by the bass drums, the solo played by a snare drum, and most of your time is spent pushing your board around the floor and playing about a minute's worth of music total.
I really love this show and the energy it builds and just watching it you really just feel excitement which I didn’t get from RCC it was more of a message but the only thing I don’t like about this show is it feels like there are like 6 or 7 movement Thor things and everything else is just to distract you from moving things and to waste time overall love this show
Resident sleeper? What does that even mean? This show is a one dimensional rock show. You can't compare this to RCC's multi dimensional and contextual masterpiece that makes you feel something more than just happy to rock out. Anyone can rock out, it's takes special designers and performers to put out what RCC does.
"Multi dimensional and contextual", you just mean that they left it broad on purpose so that people would think that. Literally RCC's show was just appreciation for the arts.jpg, that was really all there was to it.
Is it just me or does the first guitar solo where everyone is circling him sound like the guitar solo at the beginning of hot for teach by van Halen???
Wow...I'm an old guy who started playing in the 1980's...played just long enough to play with my universities first indoor percussion ensemble. I gotta say the stuff they're doing now is AMAZING. maybe....just maybe, a little overkill on some things but the level of talent is crazy. glad to see kids still drumming. (and keyboarding...and guitaring...)
abb I thought that the first time I saw the show. I think I'm just more impressed with the amount of motion and how many people they managed to pack on the floor. The execution is just pretty impressive.
This was a tough show to record since there is so much happening all over the floor at the same time that sometimes I didn’t know where to point the camera lol
Alot of talented young people taking this show to the edge.....WGI like DCI to the edge of extinction. I hope WGI has a contingency plan to save this for the next 10 years without increasing costs. after this pandemic. DCI went from 200 corps in 3 divisions to under 50 corps nationwide , some will not return in 2021 damn it. Some WGI programs may see the same fate.
Rhythm X director: What instruments are we gonna have?
Show Designers: *Y E S*
Instablaster...
“You want to play snare? No, you get to play vibes, cymbals, and electric guitar”
Lmao fr
I'm actually good friends with the Electric Guitar player, lol. Unfortunately, as far as I know, he doesn't march with the group anymore.
vibes are sooooo fun to play tho
X, your Bluecoats is showing
well... the three brothers marched Bluecoats in 2017.
And that is a good thing......LOVE BLOOO
all in the drumline?
Shawn Olson there is four people from bluecoats 2 snares 1 bass and 1 tenor
Yup_ Charles that’s drumline, there’s a decent bit of front ensemble members too
I could watch this show a thousand times and still miss some things...
It's nice to see that a show is actually entertaining outside of understanding the sport.
Sport????😂
Most shows: Front ensemble
Some shows: back ensemble
This show: *G R O O V I N E N S E M B L E*
The crowd went insane for them. So amazing to see in person.
1:38 Best vibe feature ever played by a bassline
you mean the only vibe feature played by a bassline lol
😂😂
6:03 2 guys casually just leap over vibes
I could never
I know the dude on the right... Pretty great guy😎
2018
A historic year for WGI
Rhythm X Mystique Archives everyone’s show was amazing
G/than Works true
6:10 look at the guy slightly left and up of the center of the screen
MothBallEater he hit it tho

Yes
Would’ve been a 12/10 if we won
RCC tho.... they built different
@@KaceyKopack what song were you guys calling back to at around 3:25???
@@martinryan7904 an Englishman in New York by Sting
You gotta appreciate all the little details of this show.
Like the broom 😂

this show has got a really good *vibe*
v_e 0 no really good vibes . Haha get it? I hate myself lmao
Imagine watching this while on acid
Band geeks aren’t gonna understand that bro lol
Too late, it was mind blowing! And yes I was a band geek; I totally understand it despite what ignorant people say
6:11 Oh my lord, why?
Edit: just in case yall didn’t see it, there was a cymbal player doing a fortnite dance
MrPiklez oh lawf
BROOM GUY
TheCutNation lol he fell over while brooming but they didnt get it on camera haha
That yyz though
I feel like all of those vibes got abused during this performance
Great video! Your new camera looks crazy good!
I thought this show was too busy in my opinion but I really liked pulse and rcc’s shows because there’s always a couple of shows for me that I can listen to throughout and still get the message and I didn’t really get the music with the theme tbh
some of my favorite music this year
YOOOOO, I LOST IT WHEN HE PLAYED HOT FOR TEACHER, THAT WAS COOL
performing this must’ve been a blast
In my opinion, this is the most entertaining wgi show ever
imagine rolling up to the first camp thinking you were auditioning for marimba and you end up in an interpretive dance competition for the spot lmao
ok having What is Hip, and YYZ was an amazing idea
Makes me think of if the Blue Devils Colorguard learned to play percussion and tried to perform Matrix’s Rock Star show...
how is this not a Will Ferrell and John C Reilly film already? This is Gold
3:30 bells play "It's my dick in a box" song from SNL-- these people are truly legends
The hypest lot of the season thumbs up yea👌👏👏👏🔥🔥🔥
See, when you're watching Rhythm X's newer shows, you really have to stop and ask yourself:
Is this show as good as 2009?
And the answer will *always* be no.
TOUCH FOREVER
Phoenix Wright true
I completely agree
100%
R-X 2010 perhaps?
This has got to be on of the best closers in WGI PIW history.
Yo I should watch more of this winter guard thing looks pretty interesting
Yes
So how many extra hihats would you like set up?
Show directors: yes
The tenor putting on the sunglasses got me!
YYZ in a WGI show might be it, RIP Neil
6:15 Perfect

3:28 the boys during independent reading time
Bless you for this footage
This show is like millennial humor. surreal, dark, and completely meaningless. Yet it is still entertaining...
So much energy. Holy cow.
Haha, loved that this show used What is Hip? at 1:11. Only reason I knew was because I played the same for RCC's 30 Years of Excellence show.
Just freaking amazing and awesome!
Does anyone one else notice they start playing channel one suite by buddy Rich at around the 6 minute mark.
haha yes, 50 ways to leave your lover. instantly could tell by the little drum set solo at the beginning
6:15 What are the basses doing?!?!!? HAHA
what plays at 3:25 never was able to figure it out
Englishman in New York
@@abbyhermesch5439 Tsym, I’ve been looking for this for the past hour
7:29 Bluecoats Jagged Line
this is the funniest wgi show of all time
An amazing show, but this was totally RCCs year, hopefully next year RX will build on this and get gold
I really love this show and the energy it builds and just watching it you really just feel excitement which I didn’t get from RCC it was more of a message but the only thing I don’t like about this show is it feels like there are like 6 or 7 movement Thor things and everything else is just to distract you from moving things and to waste time overall love this show
They performed at one of my school competitions it was really cool
6:14 the face ryan ellis makes when he knows he ate
Best bass line this year
When I heard them play Van Halen and Rush’s XYZ I was like holy fucking shit
This has to be one of the best WGI shows I’ve ever seen
How did RCC win when their show was so resident sleeper
Resident sleeper? What does that even mean? This show is a one dimensional rock show. You can't compare this to RCC's multi dimensional and contextual masterpiece that makes you feel something more than just happy to rock out. Anyone can rock out, it's takes special designers and performers to put out what RCC does.
Devon Montgomery It’s still resident sleeper
"Multi dimensional and contextual", you just mean that they left it broad on purpose so that people would think that. Literally RCC's show was just appreciation for the arts.jpg, that was really all there was to it.
Luke Bowar haha no Rcc’s show was about how rcc is changing the game In wgi, the show was about themselves.
You can’t win with Shakespeare
Never.
50 ways to leave your lover (Paul Simon), What is Hip? (Tower of Power -Freelancers Off the Line in 1984)
i feel like a traitor just watching this
Is it just me or does the first guitar solo where everyone is circling him sound like the guitar solo at the beginning of hot for teach by van Halen???
It is!
Should’ve won...
Agree
Agreed
Execution.
Too much going on, RCC was uber clean and very composed
No
3:56 Don't mind me just marking this for later
6:15
10th time Ive watched this today....
Wow...I'm an old guy who started playing in the 1980's...played just long enough to play with my universities first indoor percussion ensemble. I gotta say the stuff they're doing now is AMAZING. maybe....just maybe, a little overkill on some things but the level of talent is crazy. glad to see kids still drumming. (and keyboarding...and guitaring...)
What pieces do they play tho
This made me recognize music more and how cool the vibes are. Too bad im not good at mallets and im marching snare. Peep that dank ass guitar player
2:13 Trevor looks like he's just having a good time
Is the first movement based off of 50 ways to leave your lover?
Great show!
What is this show about
Do you have MCM?
anyone got a link to the front ensemble score??
squirtz The arranger.
what is the song in the beginning?
50 ways to leave your lover
I forget who it is by
5:13 Ending Chords
It had to have been the most epic feeling to be the kit player at the end
How tf did this lose to RCC?
It felt way too busy
abb I thought that the first time I saw the show. I think I'm just more impressed with the amount of motion and how many people they managed to pack on the floor. The execution is just pretty impressive.
This was a tough show to record since there is so much happening all over the floor at the same time that sometimes I didn’t know where to point the camera lol
Erik Lindquist I can imagine. And it's funny because the first time I saw it I thought there was way too much. Lol
Jared Kronenwetter it was amazing either way, it left me eyes wide and mouth open while hanging off the edge of my seat the entire time.
6:38 ist the third person from left ryan ellis or am i blind
rQ_Zumi yes it is

I wish they'd have gotten a good view of the stick toss. That thing was awesome
This was the first time I had really seen the show haha was not ready for it
gotta love what is hip by TOP
Can we just give prop 2 the drum set player🔥🔥🔥 held the show together
What's the music in the opener? I feel like I've heard it before
50 Ways to Leave Your Lover, Paul Simon
cymbal flip at 2:32🤤
YEAH ZACH🙌🏼
2:17 bass 3 vibin
6:12 Anybody else see that one cymbal line player doing a fortnite dance?
What's the name of the first song in the intro
Maybe its just the lighting, but are those system blue heads??
Ben Kelley yes
Anyone get the broom refrence?
abelmank nah
"It's just a stick toss for pete's sake"
How many cymbals did rhythm x crack and break this year?
What is this show again?
Is it me or does the guy who caught the stick while standing on the vibe look like Matt Damon? Like it can't just be me right?
have fun in the marines erik
