Teagan Hershberger yeah honestly I’d just be glad to be in a drum Corp living the dream

They let their instructors who do the same thing influence them to hate My band director called out my center snare when me marched together in high school “Come on Blue Devils!” He went on to become captain in 2014 🤷🏽‍♂️

Yeah maybe

Nova Don't

Nova | some say 8 months later he’s still watching drum line videos and not doing his homework

@@dxmirr You were right...

Nova | haha me too

not all heros wear capes

Sadly it's not fully correct

can you send me that "facing future" links thank you

for that years show they all started in the snare line so yeah they can all play snare

@@tObito687 no 2 of the basses didnt have good traditional grip so they didn't play in the opener i'm still trying to find their location on the field before bass drum

@@SaneTheBro Also, visually where would they have put them? They break it down to groups of 4 at some points. It would have worked with the groups of 8 (make it 9 instead), but not with the 4 snare groupings. I don't think 3 groups of 6 would have worked as well. As for their location, I think they were hiding behind one of the stairs.

@@kmabruthe opener had 16 snare drums. later it split to 4 tenors and 5 basses, leaving 7 snares

Snares literally sound like one person is playing.

hi. ༼ʘ̚ل͜ʘ̚༽

Why weren’t you in BD 2017?

bd's book was so much better this past year and people still continue to diss them for some reason

I saw you weren’t in 2017 how come? And what year do you age out?

Luke Cullen His last show was last years show.

Tmb 999 System Blue BABY!!!! YEAH

The tenor feature was definitely my favorite part. The only good thing about their show in my opinion was the pit, their choice of having "Flight of the Bumblebee" in it, and the snare and tenor feature in the show.

steroidpigeon U said It!!!

Looks like all 4 are 2016 vets and age-outs.🤩

Quads playing sounds amazing but it can’t just be me who doesn’t like the sound of system blue quads at least the old ones in this video

a little bit of bass 1?

raretrick FTW

Exactly what I said

The Wii U Pro Controller Defense Force peel them carrots.

Bruh

they really are ying and yang SCV plays the logical stuff and BD says hold my beer. part of the activity is to play the cleanest but also part is to show what you got. Crusaders invented Ghost Flams in the old days which turned into "ghost note" which is actually a grace note but the tap or accent has been ghosted.

Melanie Rivera that segment of the show is the first full battery moment of the show.

Yea

MrSirEric Evans MX5 I think

Mx5

sumbooodeeee not to hate on BD because I think they're a great line, but did you see vanguard's line this year? They deserved that Sanford 100%

Give it up folks, Blue Devils won.

sumbooodeeee I thought crown best bd in percussion finals night

Kat Mai - *They were a fantastic second place line.*

sumbooodeeee Well, he gave Vanguard a higher overall score (19.70 to BD's 19.65) and gave both corps 99s; Vanguard in continuity, BD in achievement. Not sure where you heard him say they "played cleaner than Vanguard finals night"; that would be a highly unprofessional thing to say on a judges tape and not like JP at all, plus the numbers and the Sanford speak for themselves, even though BD was great this year and deserved the GE win and thus the championship.

He marched four years of corps prior to 2017 and marched the two years after. I’d need a year off too if I were him.

@@DrumlineArchives ahh ok that makes a lot more sense

school

Right as the full brass plays at the start of the show.

In the opener about 1-2 minutes in

Like 1-2 minutes into the show. Sounds insane with the brass

Basses 4 and 5 just chilled behind the stair cases in the right side of the field.

Also the 4 tenor players actually start the show off as snare players. You can see a body cam of the snare/tenor footage from miles kennobie. Legendary video

@dougfusco137 ik that but that doesn't explain the question because all 4 tenors marched snare in the opener

@ryandemchak2218 thank you, ik it's 3 years late

Dead

When did calisthenics become such a crucial part of drumming?

That’s pretty much been the Blue Devils Drumline’s MO the last 10 years

bass lives matter

BD never has hard shows as of the last few years. I respect them cause they're piss clean but I also don't think anyone on that line is challenged.

Mikethedude22 yeah, I'm a lot younger than them and I can play it so I think it's lacking a bit

don't you mean....every year?

They axed a ton of the book last year because the drums barely projected. I would primarily blame Evans because they sound less lively to me tonally than Remo, but it was revealed to be the construction of the drums and their muting techniques which have been obsolete for years.

@@ryanjohnson9650 bro where’s your vid playing through all this this stuff? Didn’t you say you could play through it? I wouldn’t put yourself up on that pedestal. Just saying.

The fuck they do not. Scv book 2017 was insane compared to this. Don't get me wrong bd is super flame but in comparison scv have them over

Each of these books are equally hard in their own way, it's almost impossible to compare unless you're a trained judge.

back in the early 70s guys in the drumline wore Boston Crusaders shirts because they pioneered that style. SCV got Fred from Troopers which is a different style one is cleaner the other is flashier and if they pull it off they win. the big championship is the title to BD. SCV is the eppitome of ensemble . Going to shows here is the best cuz you get to see both. I always wear a little SCV with my BD jacket. it's all about Family here. we don't boo at shows like those entitled one hit wonders do when they come here. that is why West dominates. We hype each other.

Mike Davis ur tripping

To me, the movement adds to the performance. There is a level, though. Especially when it gets to the point that they're sacrificing slamming notes for body movements. It looks great in the first movement though, especially when they're with the full corps.

Lol

Was it Miles?

No wonder why RCC is so good.

gunner 3477 well yes, but actually yes

@@octane_dv7056 Lol I was being sarcastic. No disrespect towards you.

BD may have come cloe to SCV on Finals night, but SCV was clearly the dominant linethis year. For you to say BD "had a more challenging program...definitely a better written program" just goes to show 1) you know nothing of what you speak and 2) your bias.

Salt levels detected at an all time high

Inspadave I agree. BDs book really disappointed me this year. Nothing difficult about it really. Tap rolls and flams the whole time. Compare that to SCV, Blue Coats or Cadets where they're playing really really difficult stuff. Just ramming notes the entire show, and it's clean. BDs were clean, but really boring. Still love them, I just wish the writing would improve.

BD's entire opener is a bunch of snares playing extremely basic stuff? also, SCV's drumline is running around the field practically the entire time, while BD has numerous standstills for most of their biggest moments.

Mark Miller have you ever seen a good drumline before in your life? Not to mention your very obvious bias, as you said that SCV wasn't lightyears ahead, but then immediately turned around and said BD "whipped" SCV. BD played their easiest book in several years and were standing still a lot more often (they just ran to their sets, rarely marched), and still only scored barely higher than SCV on achievement. Meanwhile SCV was playing one of the hardest drumline books in recent memory and marching huge steps around the field while doing it. Your comment is dumb AND biased, which is a very dangerous combination on the internet

Will Dibbs I like it tbh

It starts of nicely, but it goes on for too long

Yes but think of the show concept. It's not meant to be flashy, just really rudimental and basic.

The thing about the BD battery books, to me, is that they do exist outside of the bigger picture. Instead of being being a part of the brass and FE books in the case of the Rennicks, or Mapes/Grom, BD's battery parts exist alongside the brass/FE. Maybe in a couple of instances the roads cross, but they never merge. That is not to disparage what or how they play. They have some cool licks, and I have hell of a time figuring them out, but that is what a lot of their stuff sounds like to me; licks, and not a cohesive and integrated part of the bigger musical picture.

It was a throwback to early Blue Devils. That's actually a part from a very early show from the 70's. That's why the 16 snares were there. Paying homage.

Not impressed with this comment

says the guitar

@@yungtwiz Boo Hoo.

@@ronald6838 I've been a drummer longer than you've been alive.
