A video like this show what hard work can do. Some kids ... especially many h.s. band kids ... complain because they have to repeat phrases a couple of times. I remember watching the Glassmen percussion section when they visited our community a few years ago. The repeated an 8 count phrase over and over again for about an hour until the instructor was satisfied. It takes a certain kind of mentality to do that. This is a great video ... and one that should be showed to all percussion sections.

the guy in the middle at 3:25 has like the most perfect technique i have ever seen

36:55 "I'm gonna send you back to Arizona" 😂😂

19:39 the true connection of drumline brethren!!!

After watching this and re-living my own D&B days, kudos to these kids and really every kid out there in drum corps land for the selfless dedication of time and effort to the activity. Although Blue Devils took the DCI title this year, there really are no losers out there. I'm sure each and every individual in every corps, did their best put forth their best performance at each and every show. As a spectator now, their effort can only be admired in my eyes. This is the glimpse of the future stars of this country and they will succeed in everything they do in their future.

i love how laid back scott is

I had the privilege and honor to be around this amazing corp while they were in Ox. It amazes me how fast these brilliant young men and women learn and perfect their music/show. Thank you Damien for capturing these moments. It was nice meeting you and chatting briefly on the field:)

It's a joy to watch Scott Johnson teach.

Thanks for uploading this! I went to school here and unfortunately couldn't make it down, but now I can see what I missed.

Thanks so much for the video. My son is on the snare line for Blue Devils and it was wonderful getting to see him when I couldn't be there :)

I miss these days so much... Such an amazing corp. I absolutely love doing stuff like this, well, I did until my eyesight got to me. This is an amazing video. Favorited for sure!

Sweet video dude! Thanks! The warm-up at 13:50 brought back memories of '06! :D (bass 4) Also, I can definitely see Jared's influence lol!

That first excercise is an amazing chop builder, or just something to chop out to. I love it.

This is DOPE!!! It makes me feel like im there...But without my hype...hahahaha right on for this vid bro

You guys did a great job this year!!!!! :)

Nice production, Damien, thanks for posting!! We didn't get to go see this (Zak was busy) so its great to see what we missed - good work!

my favorite show

is it just me or do you hate the sound of those tenors at the beginning

Thanks for posting! Love BD's!

That bass line is flawless, but it's nice to know that even the best snare line in the world is dirty as hell at times.

brandon likes 311.......officially coolest cat in town

22:25 had me laughing so hard. hahaaa

Those Bass Drums sound awesome!

Ahhh that was probably so embarrassing at 47:55. That was one sick tenor break tho!

Brandon is such a god at getting a stick out before playing if he drops it.

This is one of the hardest battery books ever written.

34:40 scojo what was that?!?! lol

amazing precision! :)

Im in the Drumline at Snare! I Love Drumming!

For pearls why do these looks so perfect

I need one of those little pads on my snare drum

This season of DCI probably really fucked up Brandon's spine.

22:27 is pure gold 😂

6:27 : WOW

Malburg36 your reply's are off. They are Pearl practice pads mounted on a snare accessory mount so if they have to practice something they don't have to do it at the volume of a shot gun.

Pretty nice. It was interesting.

48:12 space chords in the background!

Can I maybe get a sheet of all the warmups in this. Maybe not all but please. It'll help plenty for some. Thanks!

Lmao I love how the whole snare line puts their scoops on Brandon's stand

lol whats that bro tap at 19:38? hahaha awesome

awesome video! learned a few warmups from it too

At 34:45 I feel like I'm watching a sitcom

51:06 .... chills

Is anyone else wondering how the snares have scoops on when they are on stands?

Haha I was the scoop guy this past season lol. I can relate Brandon 35:00

Gd oke bcs like music nd kidz is live in love

My lawd dem chops!

Andrew Manzanares on snare shirt shout out to BDC! Awesome!

if only crowns percussion were this good

56:22 Is that a Soviet Union shirt?

51:38 is that guy wearing a tie??

does anybody have the transcription for the first warm up they did?

Hoping to be apart of this drum corp In the future I still have alot to learn but im getting ther not a very hard decision to join the blue devils becuase there like the best drum and bugle corp In the world . "Keep up the good work"

Man....even the oldest of these guys wasn't even a lecherous gleam in their father's eye when I was in the corps. (84 soprano) Yeah....I'm old!

what mallets are the tenors using that have felt heads?

i love when the bass drums ripple.

the snare with the white hat is my battery instructor! ADAM!!!

Did they change the tenor heads prior to "sterling"?

okay but the snare w the white gauges that's three down for the right... daaamn

10:42 the sign says “no noisemakers, horns, bells, sirens, etc.” I know that the sign is talking to the spectators, but it’s still ironic.

what camera do you use?

did bass four march crown 2013?

There bass splits are the shit

What school is this I went to clay high n it was blue devils to

It seems like the blue devils tenors always sound a bit more "metallic" i guess than everyone else. I dont know does anyone else get that?

what are those mini pads connected to the snares?

The snares have a strange "ring" at the beginning of the video as if the guts are too tight. You can especially hear it when the center is counting off their first excersise. Anyone else hear that? Is this done purposely?

What are those pads on the rim called? I've been looking for one but I have no clue what to search

#gedaljeights #shotski #gedalYAYYAYEE

18:28 is black sweater guy supposed to be looking around and fidgeting?

13:26 why drop that quad so hard💔

A(Two) day(s) with the BD 2014 Twos 2014 drummers: ;-;

I've been wondering, do they have to pay for any sticks that they break over time or is that provided

What are the shiny plastic shields under the snares?

Did anyone else notice 40:29

As someone not from the US this confuses the absolute hell out of me lol

anyone have music for the quad feature at 47:36 ?

if i had a dollar for every pixel in this video i'd be richer than bill gates

Doesn't that guy in the hoodie on the far left at 23:38 seem like a nice and funny guy?

What were the stick the snares were using(all)

Do they have jobs? Or are they studying? I don't know how this works, can someone tell me, please?

Were they this hard on 16 year old Brandon the whole season? I kinda feel bad for him looking at this now.

Is it just me, or are the tenors tuned/pitched weird?

I know that marching band is extremely impossibly hard but man

Did the hornline have the day off?

2:14 is that brodie smith? blue shit left side of the screen

brodie smith a bass 5 lol

16:58 18:53 24:54 44:00 partial party // triplet partial sequences

19:38

lol 19:38

Anyone else getting a lot of audio lag?

:)

The Bass 5's Leg was splitting the rest of the line in the warm up lol 1:40.

Where did all these hot guys come from..back in the day there were no hot guys in marching band..let alone them practicing shirtless...

The snares are cranked all the way up, they have no tone, sounds like you’re just hitting wood

ugh i hate the sound of those snares they have that ping!

why do they ring so bad!!! my ears hurt ( snares )

Those drums are reefed

Jesus. Crunchfest regardless of how early it is in the season. Embarassing.

24:12, the tick in the black hoodie is looking down like he's the shit. Smh
