Ember Opsahl you can do it! I actually have a couple friends in drum corps that are under 5 feet tall and play euph! Just keep workin!

@@tylerwilson5973 Thankyou! I will!

Jesus I was 4'11 in 4th grade

@@Ash.Music.Covers lol, yeah, I'm short

I’m 4’11 too and a freshman

Shoot I’d be hyped to play in one of the best shows ever!!!

Ikr

Humbug

Electr0 as a sophomore euphonium player you use a good amount of air but you get used to it because you would have been playing that instrument for a good amount of time by then

Oh it is

It’s not as hard as trombone I heard

@@ferretking0417 23 pounds? what kinda euphoniums you marching? our contras weigh 30

Your right but tubas are harder

Well, this is dci lol

This is a victory run

I’d be willing to bet they gave the trombone mains the thing and some euphs the trombone feature, but I don’t actually know.

they probably took everyone that knew how to play trombone cuz otherwise tuning would be bad

That's what I was going to say....you know with our big bell size it's harder to see who is in front of you than the piccolo or clarinet or trumpet players!!! Right???

I'm starting to think that's an issue with all marching euphs cuz every single one I have had has had bad valves

@@demigr0539 for some reason no matter how much I oil mine my valves suck. But my friends is soo smooth

Epicduck 5000 its a double A

@@frenchtoast1759 At that timestamp it's a Bb but it's flat I think. Really hard!

Pufflerate123 if you watch Javiers finals week rehearsal GoPro cam, you can hear that it’s a double A

French Toaster He misses it in that headcam I believe but gets it at finals.

Pufflerate123 honestly at this point idek what note it actually is because some transcriptions say it’s an A, and some say Bb 😂. I guess it will be a mystery since we don’t have the actual original music

@Pablo Costabella it has and I will continue to improve thank you

Hi

i remember my first day of band camp over the summer as a brand new baritone player and my arms kept dropping and would not go up. now, at the end of the season, i can hold that thing up for ten minutes straight with only minor struggles, literally mastered valves after a couple of weeks and now can play them fluently (my band doesn’t get to march trombones so i did baritone for marching with no previous experience at playing valves), get complements on my marching every day by so many amazing upperclassmen, i get called on for having the most promise by my section leader who’s gonna march in bk, hear that i’m the most likely to do dci out of all the freshman in my class(!), just took state from a band who had won for eight years in a row (state champs babyyyy), i’m in the best section (everyone agrees, the baritones/euphs are definitely our best section this year), and i’m told that i’m the best freshman baritone too. idk why i wrote all of this out, i’m just really excited and i need to let spill a little ego. i love marching band so much, i’m sad it’s over, but i’m also excited for concert band so i can get back to my trombone. i’m going to march euph next year. next marching season, our only senior is going away and we need to fill in another section leader spot. i’m going for it because the other section leader (the bk one, he’s a junior rn) says that he trusts me the most with our section, and the other junior isn’t interested in it, and neither are our sophomores. so i’m just competing with the other freshman at this point. in the end, our section leader who isn’t graduating yet will decide if we all do particularly well in auditions. but i think i’m gonna make it. let’s freakin do this! us bari freshies are gonna power through and be the best because low brass yeahhhh! let’s go do dci. it will be fun. hard, but fun. god, i love marching band. have a nice closure to your marching season and good luck with concert season! sorry for unloading my ego here lmao i don’t really do it in real life i just gotta get it out somewhere

@@adrienne9962 i read all of it thats really great your gonna go places. Keep me updated

@@dhdusidjdjso will do, if anything exciting happens :) thank you also if anything exciting for you happens, i also expect a full blown rant about how amazing you are ;)

@@adrienne9962 idk if im as good as you but thats gonna come soon. What high school are you in i want to waych your show

@@dhdusidjdjso i’ll link our show here it is. unfortunately, i haven’t found the good camera recording of it, but this one is pretty good in the meanwhile.

DCI has a rule every year that the winning corps has to pick a random number to yell throughout their encore run. When DCI looks back at these videos, if there is no audible confirmation that we yelled a number, then they kick that corps out of DCI. This year the random number we picked was 18. Funny enough, it wasn't random. 18 is the average age of our cymbal line so we decided to yell that for them. Has a lot of meaning to us at least.

Jack Denger Bluecoats yelled 6 in 2016

Tyler Wilson the corps can actually get kicked out for not yelling the number?

this sounds fake enough for me to question it but not too unrealistic for me to do further research

That’s what happened to star of Indiana

In the video is a System Blue but i prefer the Dennis Wick series of mouthpieces.

Tyler Wilson, thank you so much!

Razor they still won

@@joshgiannini7243 this is a victory run

They all do just at different times

@@p1nh3ad41 yeah, I just noticed that recently, while watching the high cam. Thought it was a joke, guess it was just weird choreography 😅

Cade Faulk i think it’s supposed to signify bees around you, or something that flies because the theme of this is taking flight

I’m pretty sure it might be making fun of blue coats 2016 cuz they did the same thing (but actually in line)

It was part of the choreography because they were playing flight of the bumblebee so they shook their legs as if they were trying to get bees away

long tones long tones long tona

bro i’m doing euph next year and i stopped growing. i’m 5’ 2”, roughy 100 lbs, and the smallest with asthma. idk why i want to do this but i totally am. i love marching band ack! do breathing exercises before you start warmups. they help a lot for me, at least. and yeah long tones, flexibility exercises, and articulation exercises are great. long tones are super boring so what i try to do is spice up the boring exercises and make them jazzy or something. run through fancy scales, or do a cool warm up. they’re really useful.

O yea

jasmine reyes GoPro Hero!

Tyler Wilson which series ?

It'a easy to learn bass clef if you just take the time and return to square one. Buy yourself one of those standards of excellence beginners books for bass clef euphonium from a music store and start "relearning" your instrument. It will feel tedious but if you go page by page you will learn it and learn it well. You're not relearning how to play, just a new set of note names.

When I first started I made flash cards with the note on one side and on the other the note name and fingering ( I know flash cards are lame but they really helped)

Baritone is in treble and bass clef. You can try and see if your teacher can get you treble clef music

Same but I'm improved now

I started euphonium on treble mainly because of the fact that with bass clef after middle Bb, there are a lot of ledger lines

Yea

@@sceu25 knew it hehe

That Db is so crisp and full holy.

It’s a run that doesn’t get scored on so you can do whatever

System Blue!

I think their brassline uses the system blue mouthpieces

Being a part of any drum corps whether it be DCI or DCA is an amazing opportunity. Do some research on drum corps' styles, locations, member dues and schedules and then make a decision from there on which one you want to take part in. Purchase the audition packets on the corps' website that come out every year during the Fall and start practicing every day to perfect it. Go to the audition and show off what you can do!

That’s a rip

Dean Eggers rifles they are called rifles mate (not hating just saying)

@@tylerwilson5973 Which series?

BD uses system blue horns, not sure what model

Super late reply, but this is the King System Blue K30. The 1129 is in King’s “Ultimate” line and is a different beast.

Dylan Seamster it’s a system blue!

System Blue

aaron stevenson not sure what you mean?

12:35 Why are these two not marching and then in other videos you can see members stud out too

aaron stevenson drum corps’ accept extra members just in case someone were to get injured or has to leave. They rehearse but don’t march during shows unless necessary.

Forgot about alternates 👌🏻

Tyler Wilson do they play less or something? Lol cuz if they played full price to stand still 😂😂😬😬

Euph

They’re brother and sister

a euphonium gets bigger throughout the instrument. A baritone waits till closer to the bell to get bigger. A euphonium also might have a little bit of a bigger bell. They have slightly different sounds too.
