The high brass line is incredible, but I think the low brass deserves special recognition here. Everybody expects high brass to have the crazy-ass runs and sixteenth note -triplet passages. High brass did an fantastic job delivering, but the low brass did, too. Those are some phenomenally difficult and insane runs for low brass to execute, and they definitely delievered
@@rickpantoja2773 the way i like to think of it is the skill level within the competitive program. If Carolina Crown marched some scored local high school circuit they’d get perfect in everything because of how skilled they are compared to the rest of the high schools. It’s all about comparison, not perfection.
The clarity and articulation shown throughout this line makes this video stunning. Granted they aren't moving/marching but they actually sound this clean on the move. I have been a member of 3 Top 10 hornlines and have followed this activity for about 20 years and this is probably the best hornline I have ever heard.
Those of you arguing about perfect scores clearly don't understand the judging system. First and foremost, the goal is to compare the scores to the other performing corps. As such, such score comparisons from year to year are useless at best. A perfect one year could be a 19.4 another, due to corps placement, spread usage, and many other factors. As a member of Crown from '10-12, I would say the most impressive thing we did was win best brass while performing 4th from the end in 2011. And we still can't believe the quality coming from the 2013 brassline!
I marched 1993 with the Harloff brothers and we thought we were pretty damn good as a horn line. Hell, we were the best for our time IMO. We couldn't hold a candle to Crown's line. Granted, we used G horns which are harder to hold in tune than Bb horns, but damn!! I get goosebumps each time I hear these performers.
As an alum of the Crown organization, I can't even begin to tell you how big of a compliment this is. That being said, if I were in the 2013 corps, Im sure the only thing I'd be playing were the sustains. That book is insane.
THIS REMINDS ME OF THE GREAT INNOVATIONS THAT HAVE TAKEN PLACE OVER THE MANY DECADES OF DRUM CORPS TRADITION . YOU FINE YOUNG PEOPLE HAVE REALLY RAISED THE BAR !!! THIS TRULY INSPIRES ME TO SIGN OFF OF YOU-TUBE & GO SEE AS MANY SHOWS AS POSSIBLE THIS UPCOMING SEASON !!!!!!!!!!
1:34 ...... mother of God that's fast and so clean. I thought last years run was fucking ridiculous this takes the cake. That alone gives them the brass title in my book. Ridiculous. The put on top of that the rest of their show. Bravo Crown, do this more often (This means winning). You guys truly deserve it.
Gosh.... Its like iceicles hissing on the edge of the sound, doesnt sound like anything ive heard before... This hornline never ceased to amaze me... Great job this season.
So cool! I regret not taking the time to drive the 15-20 minutes from my home to downtown to at least watch them warm up. Those of you who came, I hope you enjoyed Indy.
Would you mind finding and showing those other perfect brass scores before you start calling names. Crown was the first to receive perfect brass score on finals night.
None. If you’ve seen them live, you know they sound so much different than any other corps. Even BD. BD imo has a very trumpet heavy sound. Crown is balanced, top to bottom. It’s incredible.
This is INSANE. Literally everything is perfect. I can't even handle it. Haha. I wish I could have seen them warm up on semis or finals. But I couldn't find them.
I was going to say the same thing! You'd think there was a synthesizer doubling the brass in warm-ups because of how warm and rich they sound. Especially those Contras, my gosh.
It’s double tonguing with a triplet pattern. They’re probably going TU-TU-KU but triple tonguing is TU-DU-KU, the middle part of each triplet would sound weaker if it was true triple tonguing :)
The 2014 show was so whimsical, it almost lacked gravitas. The arrangement was so playful, with nuances of The Jetsons and other kitsch Sci Fi references that it almost lost depth. The hornline's power exceeded the breadth of the arrangement. The Welcome Home ending was a bit saccharine and G rated. I would have changed the ending to be a bit more hard-edged with some kind of bump of sobriety, just for depth and variety-- the hornline was completely capable of a powerhouse ending. The next year, of course, they took that criticism, and went all the way in the opposite direction with Inferno, based on the darkest and deepest classic ever.
Carolina Crown was the first corps to receive a perfect brass performance score. There's literally no way to debate it because all the scores are online.
Madison 1974 actually got a perfect brass GE score from what I just read, and Crown pulled off a 100 in brass GE and music brass, so it sounds like you also could use some research
Reed Parker Madison did NOT get a perfect score. In 1974, DCI scored on the tick system where tenths were deducted for error. They were 1.9 points from perfect.
but they are a drum and bugle corps or a band, not a marching band. If you march DCI and call it a band instead of a corps well I heard they are not very happy.
"Nobody in DCI should EVER get a perfect 20 in Brass." Crown: "Hold my beer."
Vee 10 lmao
Where do yall find the brass scores?
Jordan Campos go search the scores on Google and check out the full recap

I found it a couple weeks ago, but thanks 💯

Yes. Especially at 1:34 where they had to do three notes per beat at an insanely fast bpm

0:21 the balance and blend is absolutely spot on. I have never heard a Brass Line that tight in DCI history.
That really surprised me! they sounded great!

the clarity of their sound is outrageously impressive
Hot damn

1:34 - 1:49 ...amazing
Dad spotted
1:33 are contras playing that run too?
You bet
Yes, there's a video someone floating on RUclips of the contras playing it while marching
its a shared chromatic
This was a fantastic show
Here 9 years later. 1:51 still gives me chills
What an incredible show. I know someone who marched this show. So cool. # CrownBRASS
I could listen to the chunk at 2:30 for days
Gosh.... Its like iceicles hissing on the edge of the sound, doesnt sound like anything ive heard before... This hornline never ceased to amaze me... Great job this season.

Are you referring to the contra player or the Bari/ Euphonium guy?
The bari
What did he do wrong?

I couldn’t hear (or see) anything, but I guess Harloff could.
That just goes to show you how much of a legend he is.
That looked kind of like practicing a stepout toward another dot than a mistake lol
1:31 and people thought the Blue Devils were grounbreaking by playing Flight of the Bumblebee in 2017...

I don't give a damn what the judges say , Carolina Crown is the absolutely DCI corps ever!
This is just plain awesome to watch and hear, I could loop it all day
This is the best sounding horn line i've ever heard.
This horn line is absolutely on fire. Props to the members and the instructors for this last season
The bells... They're so shiny
Perfectly shiny bells are a must for the most perfect brass line in history.
It’s a drum Corp thing lol . Being forced to polish before every rehearsal. That’s what I had to do anyway
They are beautiful. Wow.
Soooo clean.
Love the beginning--tight, fast, and awesome!
i can't stop watching this...SO GOOD
this is hands down the best DCI video I have ever seen. Thanks for the absolutely amazing footage!!
This is instantly my favorite Crown video of all time. Thanks for that amazing stereo, DrumCorpsTube!
I agree! absolutely fantastic!!!
gorgeous sound from Crown this year

They sound really good!
Nice sound

awesome!
I would argue THE best! Chills

I was going to say the same thing! You'd think there was a synthesizer doubling the brass in warm-ups because of how warm and rich they sound. Especially those Contras, my gosh.
0:21 so spot on it sounds like a synth or midi
Is there triple tonguing from 1:52 onwards?
you can single tongue a good bit of it but other wise it's just double tonguing
It sounds like triple tonguing to me.
Sean Sutherland they are triple tonguing my dude

Now that's articulation.

one of many? first hornline in dci to get a perfect score haha
DvD is a beast. If I was a corps director Id pay him whatever he wanted to consult or head a hornline.
This line measures up to them.
2:50 is my favorite part.... so together!
Carolina Crown was the first corps to receive a perfect brass performance score. There's literally no way to debate it because all the scores are online.
On finals night, yes. I believe BD received a perfect 20 in '04 during prelims.
An outstanding testament of why not to "smoke" anything (cigs, ganja, etc...) except your horn!!!

Exactly my thinking also. The intonation and articulation is absurd while maintaining such incredible blend and balance.
