I bet this man feels like God every time he does this

"We're about to do one of our hits here in a second"

This is SO much more impressive when you realize that single note is 5 people playing together

He had a full head of hair but the years of bells straight to his head forced the follicles out of his scalp.

3:39 is truly amazing. You can LITERALLY HEAR the reverb traveling across the halls.

So glad I was there to see this. Crown's hornline is one of the best in DCI.

I love that every time they cut off a big hit, Matt checks his phone like "Shit bruh, just another Tuesday".

*Sitting here, with my mouth hanging wide open*.......uuummmm....It's only June, you guys....and THIS is the 2018 Crown hornline warming up?!? ....on OPENING night?!? My God.....

I was like "OH NO THEY'RE CHANGING IT TOO MUCH WHY AREN'T THEY PLAYING A HIT FROM THEIR SHOW?!?!" and then I saw them pick up trombones. And then I was happy again. And then they finished it like they normally do. And I was taken up to heaven

I love hearing these "lot" Recordings because its really the only time you really get to hear the horn line without electronic instruments drowning them out.

Yes!!! Another drop the hammer vid to watch 1000s of time!

This is awesome :)

I remember when Crown was considered the “little guy” in DCI. Glad to see the corps has come so far.

I love how they play at a reasonable volume for 90% of this think. He does the little volume crank early on, and then brings it back down. He's teaching them to listen as hard as they play. It's great!

that camera shake from the force of the sound at 3:18 is pretty epic.

Y'all I cried watching this. Its just a brass thing.

I live for that specific moment at about 3:11, when you know "sh*t about to get real." So beautiful, powerful and transporting. I showed this to my 5 year old daughter recently because my Dad had forwarded me the link, and I was very proud to show her the massive goose-bumps that had formed on my arms. I'm not sure she understood the impact, but this type of precision and clarity never fails to move me. I've missed many a great on field performance just to be in the parking lot waiting for this unique pre-show ritual. Thanks SO MUCH to the many Devils and Santa Clara warm-ups I've been lucky enough to observe, (and record, on cassette!), as well as the Cavs and Phantom and even senior corps like the Cabs and the Brigs. I love drum corps, and hope my children take to it like I did with my Dad.

Literally brought tears to my eyes. One of the most talented hornlines in DCI. Arguably THE BEST hornline. Love Crown so much and hope to march with them one day

Watching this gives me goosebumps. I can only imagine how speechless I would be if I saw it live.

I cannot WAIT till the full closer is in. The part before blow it up, into blow it up, into whatever the closer is will be LEGENDARY. so hyped.

3:26 literally sounds like a choir

There are very few things that could put a smile on someone’s face and this is one of them.

At 3:17 just watch the camera shake from sheer power......

Every Show I got to, when Crown is there, I ALWAYS HIT THE LOT for their warmup... Mind Chilling every time... 03:13 These kids are SOOOO GOOD

Legend has it the chord is still echoing to this day.

every time i watch this one it gets better

Brought tears to my eyes...

One of my favorite things is the echo at a perfect cutoff - 3:37

Crown hornlike hits work better than Viagra. I mean... DAYYUM.

Is it bad that my first reaction was "damn look at that breathing technique"

NUT

I NEVER get tired of these GREATLY talented musicians and conductor! Sooooo much energy flowing through the air! I can feel it through my tablet!

When an enormous amount of hard work pays off.

That camera shake at 3:18.... GOOSEBUMPS....

i can't get enough of this...

I got the chills

That gave me the chills...

I saw them at Orlando DCI and they were vastly improved and more in tune

3:15 WOOOOOWEEEEEEEE! GET IT CROWN! IM SO READY to go see my first LIVE in person Drum Corps show in July. See y’all in Texas!!

Gives me chills every time I hear it

Matt is in on the spooky monster stuff

they are just having fun this year with a fun show!

Love it when I am recommended Carolina Crown warm ups. :)

I know this video is going 5 years but idfc my goosebumps still get goosebumps

Words cannot explain how good they are

Very... Impressive. I absolutely love his enthusiasm... I watch all of the corps... But Cc is still my fav

🌟 STUNNING!! So much talent all at once in one place ... How lucky we all are to be able to watch and listen to this as many times as we want! Thank you for posting!! 💫

Finding, organizing, and directing this incredible brass line would definitely make me feel like "god". Their very beautiful synergistic brass tones at my fingertips. I get tears listening to this. In college, Senior Year, I felt like "god" just standing in front of our Marching Band Horn Section. PAC-10. Late 1970s. The only other thing that ever made me feel that way, was flying my own airplane across the United States of America. It was, psychologically, like having your own Time Machine. It's a different feeling for sure. But it definitely felt godlike. I was a physician anesthesiologist. Working on trauma patients and routine surgical patients. Essentially, I gave almost "lethal injections" to thousands of patients for many years. With an incredibly strict monitoring plan so they would wake up unharmed very soon soon after surgery. With no movement, consciousness, memory or any long term effects from the general anesthesia. I never ever felt like "god" at any time. I was just helping and providing a pain free surgical experience for my patients. Without anesthesiology, all modern surgery would not exist. BTW. The most I ever got from a Pharmaceutical company was free donuts at our once a month M&M conference. Times have changed. Incredible Sound. Brilliant. I played Trumpet from 5th grade through College. I would never have qualified for Drum and Bugle Corp as it exists today. But I do love that brass sound.

pre-pandemic - brings tears to my eyes guys simply awesome!!!!

This was the musical equivalent of a lightning strike what I watched my eyes can comprehend., but what I heard I have no words for, it was literally Transcendence that you could hear

Love the intermittent "relax and sway." Loosens you up I'm sure for the big hits. Much more fun warm up than we got to do back int the late 80s early 90s when I marched!

Making America great again!...superb job!

*sigh* the life of a tuba player. **Carolina crown tuning sequence ***plays only one note the entire last hit

I’m auditioning for crown for the 2020 season on baritone, wish me luck!! 👑🤞

OMG...absolutely breathtaking.

anytime i watch one of their tuning sequences i get major chills

Damn!!!Y’all just took it to the next level...Very nice

Damn. I would love to be present for one of these. I know the performance is the thing, but these tuning videos...I'm kinda addicted. That sound...when it goes pure. Damn.

SWEET!!! HOLY BALLS BATMAN. a gives me chills on the back spine

Never fails to give me chills

That took my breath away!!! Fantastic control and direction!!!

This is the best one I’ve ever see

I swear this never gets old

Me: “Ah - 2018 warmup. I’ve watched this one fifty times already” thinking I’ll have no further emotional response, only to develop chills and, once again unconsciously state “holy shit!”

My new favorite band

chills man chills

at 2:36 it sounds like someone is mowing the grass in the background 😂 and then it's absolutely awesome 😎

A WALL of musical perfection!

This video is so mind blowing that I forgot that they called this a tuning sequence instead of a brass feature. That's Carolina Crown for ya

This makes me smile every time

Just excellence on every level- tone quality, tuning, balance, dynamics- wow

Chills every time. Every damn time

Trombones add so much to the sound. God i love it so much.

goosebumps every dam time!

Funny how I got here, I collect air horns, with not a musical bone in my body and somehow youtube showed me something with "hornline" in the description... Being from Australia I had no idea what to expect but man am I impressed!!

Just listened to a different team from this year, and then found this video. Even this early, I’m not hearing the holes in the sound here that I heard a few minutes ago, folks bumping in and out when they ran out of breath. Such a gorgeous sound already!!

AMAZING GRACE how sweet the sound 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🎵🎺🎶

Shook doesn’t even describe how mesmerized I am.

every time GOOSEBUMPS Greetings

That was actually very nice to listen to.

Still my favorite.

This gave me the chills!

Goosebumps everytime

The definition of "world class"

BEST SOUND EVER!! GIVES ME CHILLS!!!!!!!

Never gets old

The quality is great

Bravissimo!!! Fantástico!!!

wow!!!!! BEAUTIFUL!!
