I can never get tired of watching Blast. In the beginning, that's the longest length of time I've heard someone hold a sustained note. As a trumpet player myself, these individuals are an inspiration.
Yeah. 50 seconds of circular breathing. In my hay day I could have come close, but not 50 seconds of it (maybe 25-30 seconds)... now, I'm lucky if I get 10.
We were ALL having a wonderful time! I joined the cast when it came to the US after London as a low brass player, and I can honestly say that every second I was on stage was exhilarating. Those were the days!
I think most people I know would've passed out from being so lightheaded after trying to play those notes in those ranges at that volume...........if only more people could appreciate such talent
I joined the cast when it came to the US as a low brass player, and its not that we WEREN'T playing loudly, all of our horns were mic'ed, so the sound mixer in the back of the house was the real hero there, turning individual mics on and off and up and down constantly. The second we walked off stage, they would turn them off so conversations offstage weren't piped out into the house.
For anyone who's ever tried to play this, the Stan Kenton arrangement of Malaguena, and do it justice, and failed- as everyone has- only then can you truly appreciate the mastery this represents. The top end goal of brass artists everywhere. Timeless!
This is SO awesome. I was in Drum Corps for Many years. I saw this show twice...Once on Broadway, and once here in Virginia. I have the CD. These Guys and girls are amazing!!
This really brings me back. I miss all the exhausting, sweat-soaked rehearsals and endless performances...HOW ARE THE FEET? TOGETHER! HOW ARE THE LEGS? RELAXED! HOW IS THE WAIST? SQUARE! HOW ARE THE SHOULDERS? FORWARD! HOW ARE THE ARMS? UP! HOW ARE THE HANDS? READY! HOW ARE THE EYES? WITH PRIDE! HOW ARE THE EYES?? WITH PRIDE!! HOW ARE THE EYES??? WITH PRIDE!!!! ....silence.....*tears...tears of pride and sweat of unrelenting determination. The echo of PRIDE ringing in the ears.
My band is playing this in our show this year and I was told it was inspired by this performance. Its really cool and as a clarinet player this show was super impressive to me
@@mattyteerifles2863 with a phrase of "So this is what happened to Star of Indiana" to me implies they're surprised it maybe there's some DCI history I've not come across.
@@Outlawstar0198 After Star of Indiana folded in '93, members of Star of Indiana formed this group and went on to create "Blast!" which was a broadway show.
@@Outlawstar0198 Its been 20 years since I've seen it, I still think about it. That in itself should say something. However to answer your question, it was truly as good if not better than this video! Our marching band also played Malaguena for our marching show that year and won state in our class. So this song has great memories for me
I got to see this show live, nothing short of amazing. Part of the reason why I got into marching band myself! Over 15 years later and this show is engrained in my mind!
This, ladies and gentlemen is true musicianship! You can argue all day about who high school band is better or which DCI corps is the best...this is the pinnacle. Outstanding even after this long!! (tips hat)
I'm impressed!!!! I was in junior Drum Corps 1964-71.....we used to do this song. I don't play the horn anymore but play guitar now. You guys and gals sound great!!!!!
I remember having to watch videos from Blast! When I was in band class in junior high school. I was and still am blown away at the technical skills and the lungs the musicians needed to have to play this piece. Let’s not forget the flexibility of the color guards. Wow.
La Malagueña !!!! extraordinaria interpretación !!!! Fabulosa !!!!! Será el único comentario que ha sido realizado en español ( Argentina) apesar de ser decendiente de Ingles & Frances !!!! Me encantaría que los latinos efectuen tambien sus comentarios !!!! Carlos Enrique
I remember watching this vid in HS when we were rehearsing the song... We had just started rehearsals and it sounded rough to say the least. Watching this was one of those "ooooh... THAT'S how it's done!" moments lol. I've heard many many different renditions of Malagueña throughout the years, but I still refer to this performance as the gold standard for the piece. The music, the artistry, the show.. it's all there.
The great thing is...if you listen to the encore performance which took place about 2 minutes later, the Sops hit a major 3rd (and I think there is one who manages a 5th) above the final tonic chord.
Marched in the late 70's early 80's when Irving, TX was going Corp!! This was one of my favs to play. Not sure why Blast did not make it bigger. This is a KILLER version and it embraces all that was Corp back then. Great videow, thank you so much for sharing!!!!
What are you talking about? Madison Scouts been doing this song for decades. They're basically the only corps who really does it since they set he bar so high.
I had almost forgotten about this! I saw this on Broadway in June, 2001, at the old Broadway Theatre next door to the Ed Sullivan Theatre where Dave Letterman did his show. Unimaginable. They essentially did the 1961 Bill Holman arrangement that Stan Kenton played with the old, insane, can't-tame-them, loud-as-fuck Conn Mellophoniums. They blew the goddamn doors off the building. And then after 9/11, the show closed for no good reason except paranoia. Hhhhhh....
TheTurtleTube WHAT?!?! What the heck have #Blast! & 9/11 got to do with each other?! 😕 Well, that's a downright shame! 😞 Damn good thing it's available on DVD! 😃
i saw this show live on broadway. i played this tune in drum corps three times (caballeros), wrote two drills for it for my college alma mater, and two percussion charts. never got a chance to conduct it as a drum major. best tune for drum corps ever. cabs 1995 and scouts 1988 are my two favorite arrangements.
I love this so much! I get chill bumps every time I listen to it. I can't wait until I can play like those trumpets. Maybe in a few years or so. Practice practice practice...
This video, that show, the awesome preformers, I can't even put in sufficient words how this song (and the passionate people playing it) makes me feel. This song hits me at my very being. Thank you sir(or miss) for posting it.
I hate to be rude, but this is gonna sound like junk. Your trumpet section is practically twice your low brass. How can you build a house without a foundation? I hate to put you down, but that's going to be the blariest, most topheavy thing to hit this earth.
Best version of Malagüeña I've found...thanks for posting this! And yes...I played it in HS Jazz Band, HS Marching Band, and College Marching Band...3 times!
Actually met and shook hands with that guy after their performance in Chicago many years ago. Very nice and warm guy just like the whole cast of Blast. And he did look like Tebow now that you mention it.
I remember going to see this show when it was playing in New York City. My Band Parent Organization paid the way for all my marching units to go ( I was the Band Director). After experiencing this show, my students returned as different people ! They were so charged up ! Puts faith in the universality of the language that IS MUSIC ! as well as the need to constantly reinforce its importance in society ! thanks for posting ! ! ! ! ! ! !
Just for the record, you don't necessarily need to use circular breathing to hold notes out that long. I can hold a note for forty seconds without it. It just takes lung capacity.
That was not a picollo trumpet you saw in the video it was a g bugle, Future corps use it.it is harder to play high on the g bugle because it is tuned a minor third lower than a standart b flat trumpet.
My high school will perform this for Christmas this year. Everybody in the village is thrilled. If we have tourists again, all the 25 seats in the barn will be taken and the show will no doubt be a great success.
That one mellow player holding that one note for so long! Almost a full minute! He must have been doing "rotational breathing" where you breathe through your nose and out your mouth. The performance reminds me of a mini drum and bugle corp performance. Outstanding! Thank you for the video.
That's a LONG way from the Salute to Disney show in 1985 that gave birth to this group! I'm not bashing Star at all. This, in addition to the short competitive life of the corps, is nothing less than an AMAZING achievement!! Congratulations, and I'm glad I got to see this production in person!!
Bill Holman's incredible arrangement, which is from the Capitol LP Adventures in Jazz LP, is the basis for this treatment by the Blast cast. They really kick it! Superb rendition!
I just spend two hours trying to remember the name of this group. So glad i found it.. There is so much skill in Blast! being able to hold a stable note for a minute is pretty impressive too.
Congratulations to the performers, musicians and choreographer. Great camera work too. Thank you for this extraordinary interpretation of Maestro Lecuona's Malagueña. It'd be great to have more information about this production, who, where, etc. Wishing you continued success and unlimited inspiration.
It's just so SOOOOOOOOOOO good!!!! One of my all time favorite pieces but played and displayed in one of the most amazing ways possible! I mean, I love drum corps. And I love Malaguena. So this is pretty much a wet dream for me. AMAZING job.
Wow I like this song for years now, but my God this choreography was very mass and the red gave seductive tone in the show. I traveled with the play! Congratulations to all I'm just a fan of dance and music! Passionate about choreography. ❤️🔝💙🤘🏼
I saw this spectacular production at the Tulsa,Ok.PAC in 2002. It was right in your face amazing! Blast took DCI on a date to the theatre and created perfection!!
EN TANT QUE TROMPETTISTE , JE SUIS TOUJOURS EN EXTASE DEVANT CES SPECTACLES , PARMI TANT D'AUTRES , DES DIVERS GROUPES DANS LE MONDE. C'EST SPLENDIDE ...
Malaguena originally was from the sixth movement of the Suite Andalucia by Ernesto Lecuona, Bill Holman's arrangement for the Stan Kenton Orchestra, reimagined the song as a fiery big band showpiece. Performances of this arrangement appeared on Kenton's 1961 album Adventures in Jazz. Maynard Ferguson would end it by blowing in an unbelievable high register on the trumpet. They're doing the Holman arrangement here! Ya gotta love it!!!
As a technical theatre student who does lighting and a trumpet player in marching band, this is the greatest thing ever.
I found my soulmate. But i'm a snare drummer tho. But i am a light technician.
I can never get tired of watching Blast. In the beginning, that's the longest length of time I've heard someone hold a sustained note. As a trumpet player myself, these individuals are an inspiration.
it's recirculated breathing
Yeah. 50 seconds of circular breathing. In my hay day I could have come close, but not 50 seconds of it (maybe 25-30 seconds)... now, I'm lucky if I get 10.
I think it's safe to say the percussionists are having a WONDERFUL time!
Erin Harrison it's Malagueña. Pretty hard not to enjoy it
We were ALL having a wonderful time! I joined the cast when it came to the US after London as a low brass player, and I can honestly say that every second I was on stage was exhilarating. Those were the days!

The second we walked off stage, they would turn them off so conversations offstage weren't piped out into the house.
The colorguard male lead in this is the color guard designer for the Bluecoats now. Took me a minute to recognize him- as Blast was 15-16 years ago
Did not know that, appreciated.
Jim!

A big fan of the Kenton version with Vido Musso on tenor sax . This comes too close to compare in sound and over the top of course in dance.
Took my daughters to see them in Sarasota years ago. Man I wish they would revive this show!!!!

we’re u in this or in a different show that may be similar
I still love the bit of Rhapsody in Blue that they put into the solos even though I have listened to this countless times
Should find a recording of adam rappa fitting flight of the bumble bee into it.
Hey peridot
That French horn riff in the background always hits me in the feels.
Been following Blast1 for a lot of years. I can listen or watch Malaguena till the earth stands still!!!
My band is playing this in our show this year and I was told it was inspired by this performance. Its really cool and as a clarinet player this show was super impressive to me

Me too. Wish it would come back.
He is circular breathing, great technique by the way. I could certainly be part of this brass ensemble. LOVE IT!!! Viva la Tuba
The Guy playing Trumpet in the beginning!
He was my highschool band director!! Mr. Harloff!
I got to see this show live, nothing short of amazing. Part of the reason why I got into marching band myself! Over 15 years later and this show is engrained in my mind!
Its been so great to have that soloist at the beginning as one of my band teachers! Thanks for the great year Harloff!
I need to own this so I can play it over and over and over. Seven minutes of chills and goose pimples !!!
How did the trumpet player hold that note for SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO long? He's awesome. As is BLAST! SPECTACULAR!
+Samuel Franceschi circular breathing.
or, if you've ever played a wind instrument, you'd know that you can control your airflow. Even louder volumes don't always take more air.
This, ladies and gentlemen is true musicianship! You can argue all day about who high school band is better or which DCI corps is the best...this is the pinnacle. Outstanding even after this long!! (tips hat)
Former Star of Indiana members amongst others. Also, many of the staff members for Blast! were former instructors at Star.
dat circular breathing though
after 50 years....i finally learned how to do it!
I'm impressed!!!! I was in junior Drum Corps 1964-71.....we used to do this song. I don't play the horn anymore but play guitar now. You guys and gals sound great!!!!!
Even 7 years later this still puts a smile on my face.
I was in the Pride of Broken Arrow in Oklahoma all 4 years of HS and we got to see Blast live twice and they are so awesome! LOVE them

He held that note for 3 days on my count... anyone else get a different number?
Circular Breathing Hun.
And it was only 50 seconds.
Humor, Robert; or the weak attempt thereof.
Damn Lady, complex syntax. I'm sure you don't talk like that in person. So why do it on here?
Erin Harrison i thought it was funny, if it counts for anything :P
Thank you, Diamond!
This is an excellent Kenton style for brass with beautiful dancers.Super rendition.
The great thing is...if you listen to the encore performance which took place about 2 minutes later, the Sops hit a major 3rd (and I think there is one who manages a 5th) above the final tonic chord.
Bring it back !

Seeing BLAST live in Boston at The Wang Theater was a stunners dream!
Many border high schools have done this before for decades but this is the first time I've seen it on RUclips. This one was a treat.
What are you talking about? Madison Scouts been doing this song for decades. They're basically the only corps who really does it since they set he bar so high.
D34dlySpork Cadets and Boston Crusaders 2003 did it
Noah Lauderman But Madison did it first, and they did it best without any shadow of a doubt.
This and the '88 Madison Scoutsand Roy Clarks versions are the best
brian bostwick LOVE LOVE LOVE 88 Scouts!
Only reason I’m here😂
I saw this in Dallas in 2011 and I was completely amazed....plan to go back this year.

I wish they released a Bluray for this, or at least a DVD for other regions. I had the DVD but I couldn't play it on my DVD player.
Magnifico !!! Visually and aurally awesome. Something to watch again and again to feel good about life.
@5:50, my goodness, the sound coming out of each one of these guys has more blasting power than 1000 shotguns.
The show is called blast for a reason…
Im here watching this in 2021 and it still amazes me every time.
Phenomenal, spectacular show. As far as "the note" goes, he held it longer than me and my wife's typical night of sex.
Lol
John Doe 18 measures... at 110 bpm... a legend.
Circle breathing, watch his cheeks
But can your wife circular breathe like this guy?
bgm1761 if only lol
I loved seeing Blast! when it came here to East Lansing, Michigan. I recognize a few of the performers in this production from various DCI corps.
2:15 That hit gives me goosebumps EVERY TIME.
I love this so much! I get chill bumps every time I listen to it. I can't wait until I can play like those trumpets. Maybe in a few years or so. Practice practice practice...

How large is your brass section? :)
Wouldn't it be awesome if they could tho? :D
About 15 trumpets, 4 baritones, 2 trombones, and 3 tubas.

Interesting for me, as I had never seen circular breathing used by a brass player before :)
I've heard of it, but haven't quite gotten it down or needed it. I'd say for brass players it's more common in orchestral music.
and still humble about it too, obviously.
But can you PLAY a note for forty seconds?
"I can hold a note for forty seconds without it."
Fantastic! I saw this @ the Wang in Boston,Ma with my kids. It was so great.
Great show! They only cheated a little by using picollo trumpets for the high parts.
That was not a picollo trumpet you saw in the video it was a g bugle, Future corps use it.it is harder to play high on the g bugle because it is tuned a minor third lower than a standart b flat trumpet.
They're Yamaha professional Bb trumpets. No piccolos in this piece.
My high school will perform this for Christmas this year. Everybody in the village is thrilled. If we have tourists again, all the 25 seats in the barn will be taken and the show will no doubt be a great success.
Good but Madison scouts did it better
i agree, but they are pretty different considering one preformance a dci show and the other is a broadway show
Hennry Jars ABSOLUTELY!!!
Stunning. The enthusiasm and energy. WOW
Very Professional! Fantastic Performance! Congratulations!!!!!!
Just saw this live today. AND WOW THESE GUYS ARE LOUD!!! AND AMAZING!!!
