Dude no,, he constantly hit that high note ALL SUMMER LONG it was f*ing crazy

Dude, hearing in headphones is one thing, but to hear this live is UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!

6:18 the drum corps season goes from late june to early august but the auditon processs starts in the november/december and then they start rehearsing in the spring april/may

If we're talking about iconic dci shows, Tilt absolutely must be on the list. Incredibly innovative show and is a super cool watch

Must see shows.... Carolina Crown 2013 Phantom Regiment 2008 The Cavaliers 2002 Blue Devils 2017 Bluecoats 2016 All first place shows

The show is about the tower of Babel. So in the beginning, you have the main stage breaking up, representing the tower unable to be built due to people not understanding each other. From there you hear the different languages playing and all of the music gets frantic. When the soloists start in the middle, it has two contrasting ideas that start to combine, showing how people are starting to understand each other. From then on, it’s just very “uplifting” I guess and they people can now build the tower together again.

I really appreciate the questions throughout the video. To touch on the dedication of these groups coming from someone who is in the activity, these members practice very very hard. Auditions are held in December and January for a full three-day weekend in each month. After the audition camps, there are callback camps in February, march and April where all of the members are finalized and given their contracts. After the callback camps is when the fun really begins. Somewhere during May, depending on the corps, all the contracted members and staff meet at a college or high school where they spend the next full month rehearsing together. A day of rehearsal generally consists of three 4-hour block. The morning block is from 8-12, the afternoon block is 1-5pm and the night block is 6-10pm. This schedule is upheld for the entirety of the month-long rehearsal. After the move in time period is when the corps go on tour, traveling through dozens of states while competing and refining their show as they go. Finally, in late august, all the corps from across the nation meet up in Indianapolis for the DCI Finals, which is where this video was filmed. Finals are a three-day long competition in which there are three rounds. All the corps compete on the first day and the top 28 make it to the next day. On day two, the remaining corps compete again. This time, only the top 12 groups move on to the final day. On the third day, the top 12 groups compete in finals. Hope this has been informative. I really enjoy talking about this topic so if you have any more questions don't hesitate to ask. P.S. I would suggest checking out Winter Guard International, it is a similar activity to DCI but in a basketball gym with only percussion.

Dci is a summer thing and it happens every summer!

Thanks for taking the time to put this together. Your perspective is appreciated. I think you will understand why I drove 10 hours to catch this show live. A lot of people drove much further than that to see it.

They did soooo friggin good, omg. The musicianship is top tier. I'd love to experience them live. Much respect 🫡

If this is the route......How in the hell can we leave out Carolina Crowns inferno show

Loved the video! Super honest and in the moment without fake hype.

This is my favorite DCI show! Just amazing, no matter how many times I see it. Enjoyed your reaction!

Carolina Crown 2013 is considered by many to be one of the greatest DCI show of all time. The precision in all phases of the show is incredible. I think Bluecoats 2019 (Beatles show) was one of the most enjoyable from a pure entertainment perspective. So many of the shows in 2021 were entertaining to watch, Cavalier, Madison Scouts, Phantom Regiment. Going old school, 1995 Madison Scouts has more of that loud/dirty brass sound if you like Latin music.

His music when he's talking with the audience is almost the same music in the dance section of the Vanguard show

Tragic they took down the multicam. The camerawork on the ballad hit different.

former DCI here, we’ve got about 3 months to learn our music and practice the show. most cases may-july with finals early august

Just made a request to do the 95 Madison Scouts, another DCI group with a phenomenal iconic show. Won’t be the cleanest thing you’ll ever hear, but it will be worth every second!

That beat drop was dope.

Whoever has the video of crown 2015 pls send it to him 😭 just so good all around brass visual gaurd and percussion

SCV 2018 is one of my favorite shows ever!!! I would definitely recommend go seeing DCI in person this summer 🔥

You’re reaction @11:12 to the trumpet… the astonishment 😂😂 I felt the same way

As a trumpet player, you’d enjoy Bluecoats 2016 without a doubt

this one gonna pop off

DCI season timeline November/December: are when the first auditions are then a few months later is callbacks April: once members are contracted there is spring training which is usually over a weekend May: this is when most drum corps move in usually in the 20ths area Then there’s camp for three weeks at wherever the corps training is located After those three weeks they go on tour all the way till early August.

So drum corps is mainly during the summertime. At least that's when tour is. There is spring training/move ins at the beginning of the summer and then the corps go on the road cleaning. perfecting, and playing shows all across the country until eventually world championship in Indianapolis. You should go to a show this summer! Truly life changing!

Love these videos bro keep em coming!! 💪🏾

gotta react to carolina crown 2013. the only show to ever get a perfect brass score.

Babylon is such a great show

I did this activity for 8 years in the mid 90’s and I’m still amazed at what these kids can do.

I appreciate you for really experiencing and understanding just how impressive these performers are. Genuinely you have such great reactions because you have such a strong appreciation for the music and performance.

the actual season is typically around June-August, but they start working on music over the winter and start drill in the spring

This whole show is one giant mello feature.

oh i been waiting for this 🙏🙏

The show that revolutionized DCI was THE BLUECOATS 'Downside up'. That's a show you really must see!

You should watch Carolina Crown 2018 (Beast). It’s a pretty cool theme and it’s the show that got me interested in dci and drumline. Also Bluecoats tilt, Bluecoats downside up, and Bluedevils 2017 are certified hood classics.

this show was about the tower of babel story from the bible :)

super awesome to see your perspective on DCI. as someone who marched with Bluecoats, i loved watching your reaction because i know you can appreciate the technicality and difficulty of the stuff they are doing on the field. Keep it up dog 🔥

Audition season is typically Oct-Dec. Then typically they have a few weekends in the winter before reporting to camp around mid-May for a competition/ concert tour that runs mid-June through August (ends with DCI Championships each year typically held in Indianapolis, IN at Lucas Oil Stadium for world class.)

I'm enjoying n your reaction very much. Thank you.

I went to a PWI and was in the marching band all 4 years. We had a lot of people who marched DCI during the summer. A lot of PWI marching bands and even the top high school bands have adopted the DCI style

This show is crazy I remember watching it years ago in 2018 I still remember it. Top 5 changing shows for me.

Summer time. Auditions and camps start in November with Weekend camps scattered throughout the spring. They report to camp first of June and hit the road for tour in late June early July. Finals are usually in late August.

Dawg you gotta hit up Hebron High School 2021. Don't even question the fact that it's a high school and just watch it. Make sure its the multicam from the state championships recorded by BOX5 too and not just something a parent recorded. Insane talent, especially if you like brass, and just a fye show all round 🙏🤞

I believe they meet for practice 1-2 weekends during the spring, then when summer hits, you will have all day and into the evening rehearsals both outside on the field working drill, inside working music, sectionals working music by sections, and then putting it altogether. They will have 16-18 hour days of rehearsal. Then you have the travel to the different competitions around the region and country. What you're watching is the "Championship" competition in Indianapolis, that's held towards the end of August.

You asked about what the timeline is like. I marched Blue Stars back in 2007 and 2008 so this is what our year would look like but it's pretty standard across all DCI. Audition camps would start in November. A typical camp will start Friday evening and end Sunday evening. Camps would be once a month. Typically after the December camp, the corps would be set with maybe a couple more spots getting filled along the way. Monthly camps would continue through April. We would learn all of the music. Visually, the focus would be more on just learning the technique. If weather was nice enough then we would be able to learn the first few pages of drill at the April camp. In mid-late May we would have move-ins where for 3-4 weeks we would rehearse all day, everyday to learn the show. About the second or third week of June we would start traveling to competitions. We'd have 4-5 shows a week in different cities across the country try. A show day would consist of rehearsal all day and the the show that night. After the showed we'd head to the next stop. Finals week would be the second weekend of August.

Auditions start in November. There are usually a camp for brass once a month after that. Percussion and guard join in usually for April (because of WGI). But your usually sent the music and practice in your own outside of the monthly rehearsals. You “move in” in May and have 4ish weeks of just rehearsal then you go on tour in mid June. Then Finals take place in early August.

This is gonna sound dumb probably, but I almost feel like I can still taste the metal/brass from hearing this hornline at the Massilon, OH show that year...was so loud and metallic.

I appreciate that Santa Clara Vanguard for truly staying true to the orginial musical piece in this. I use to listen to the piece imagining a drum corp playing it on the field. Anyway, man, you have to check out a live show this summer. The Corps are currently in spring training getting ready for the summer DCI tour which starts in June.

Musicianship is on point

Hey I love the reactions! The season starts late may and goes till early August (8-10 of august are the finals competitions), and instead of saying “this band” most say this corps (pronounced core or cores) please keep reacting! Much love!!

Welcome to the world of drum corps fam. It’s a rabbit hole

You think this is crazy? Try Hebron High School 2021. I know it is probably a lot of work to make these reaction videos, and I am not asking you to do anything crazy, but just watch the first minute of their 2021 show and I guarantee you will be blown away. the 2 shows that usually knock people's socks off are SCV 2018 and Hebron 2021. If you do decide to watch it, just think, there are 14-year-olds on that field creating this incredible sound. one more thing, drum corps is not an activity that is friendly to beginners, I heard your questions during the video, and it is very hard to find answers as someone who doesn't know where to look. If you manage to find answers, it will create even more questions. so just enjoy. Thanks for reading this.

Yes, there are a number of positions that open for "audition," the rest are filled with the past members who "earned" a permanent spot until they age out at 21.

They travel across the the United States and compete like once or twice a week. And it leads to the championship at the end of summer. It’s extremely competitive and you’ll hear some of the most in tune bands at these comps.

You asked how much time is required to perfect the show, as some people have mentioned already, auditions typically start in November/December. There are camps between January-April where they typically start learning music and learning how to march to a specific corps’ style, they also start conditioning their bodies for the physical demand of it. In May, all of these kids move into where ever the corps is, Santa Clara Vanguard in Cali (some people fly across the country to start off with their corps). Other notable corps have their spring training/summer move-in in Ohio, South Carolina, Illinois. Then, from May-August, these kids are rehearsing 5-7 days a week, sometimes over 12 hours a day. They sweat together, shower together, sleep on busses and gym floors for their entire summer perfecting their show (and having performances for local communities along the way) as they tour around the US. most competitions are towards the east and Mideast. It all ends at dci world champs the first weekend of august, where there is prelims, semi finals, and finals.

Legend has it the mellophones are still holding that note....

typical preseason tryouts start in December, camps become consistent and longer around March, with a typical practice day being 3, 4 hour blocks. Then there's move-ins in April or May tour is from June - August usually mid august.

the DCI shows you should react to are Blue Devils 2017, Blue Coats 2014, and Carolina Crown 2013. Additionally, there are some excellent BOA bands which are High School bands that sound like a drum corps. It would amazing if you reacted to Hebron High School's 2021, 2022, and 2023 shows; you can't really go bad with any of their shows!

since you like Trumpets soloist . You should check out Blue Devils 2017 also.. The trumpet feature and the soloist that year were Sooo good .. Then look back and check madison scouts from 1995 and 96 .. Just alot of old school drum corps too. bridgeman, BD madison scouts.. From the 80's and 90's

The Mello sustain that stopped the world on its axis

My brother done went down the DCI Rabbit Hole. Very Unique, talented musicians, and memorable shows. Good addition to the channel. They’ll be back in season soon too for 2024.

if you go back into the mid to late 90's Madison Scouts, you'll get a screamer every damn movement, and it's wild. '95 and 96 are the best ones.

Most corps are moving in for spring training this weekend.

Dci is a summer activity and starts its camps early in the season to help members learn show music and get physically fit! I love HBCU bands for what they are, but man hearing the clarity and tuning of a drum corp show in person feels like you are being lifted to heaven as their sound carries you out of this world from how loud they are. The level of skill and precision these musicians have take countless amount of hours to practice and perfect all while running around the field out of breath. If you're talking about shows you want to watch crown 2013 is a MUST watch show as they scored a perfect score on finals night or cadets 2011 because it has some great drill.

A drum season is over the summer, so a span of 3 months in total.

Bro I did corp style before I got to FSU in high school. So my BD put us on all these DCI shit! Maaaan the musicality is CRAAAAZY!! The dynamics 😱😱😱

I’m so glad you got on DCI…I’m huge swac band fan. But I be at the dci competitions in the summer!!!! The sound in person is ridiculous.

Don't miss the horn snap before the big hit in the ballad!

Santa Clara vanguard 2008 need to check it out

I used to go to DCI competitions all the time! The performance season is basically the summer, but they hold auditions in the winter if I remember correctly. If you can go to one in person, its definitely worth it!

2002 Cavaliers, 2003 Blue Devils and 2008 Phantom Regiment

A typical season is 3 months and 6 months if you march in the winter

Audition in winter. Rehearsal from beginning of spring until August. Competition starts in June.

Hope someone explained this show. Post apocalyptic society where no one can speak. When horns hit first hit in opening it’s them screaming since they can’t speak. Think of each instrument as a group of people. Trumpets yelling at mellophones, tubas yelling at baritone etc. just chaos. Second song is each group trying to communicate with another but goes wrong. Third song drums try to communicate and fight. Fourth song ballad is where two baritone’s figure out how to communicate and you hear a click (light bulb ) goes off and everyone finally plays same sone tone finally able to communicate. Then the dance party to celebrate. Then tubas try to hyjack and take control but the rest of group doesn’t allow it and the two dancers that were separated in very beginning finally get back together in a society that can now speak and be on same song. Very emotional at end when they come back together.

This is so cool to watch as a dci fan

2011 Madison Scouts (she is New York Morning)

Crown 2013 some of the best drill and brass dci has ever seen

The season for drum corps basically starts in June as far as competition and end in August. That’s not including practice.

Very well done

11:30 the coolest thing is that the trumpet screamer goes even higher (very high G) in the 2019 show

New subscriber! Going into memorial day weekend, it would be appropriate to react to DCI Cadets 2002.

Its about time

If you liked that screamer the following year scv 2019 that screamer goes even crazier

Bro Carolina Crown E=MC^2 absolutely stunning show

2004 Santa Clara Vanguard, 2008 Phantom Regement,

During the ballet, bro Kissed the hell out of that note.

I loving listening to his reactions , , what they trying to do to me ..

I went to a high school like this and ended up at an HBCU. Talk about a mean culture shock lol.

Phantom regiment 2008 was the tide for dci shows honestly for what you see today. I auditioned for a call back but it’s only for the hottest summer months and they pay like 2k to participate but dci for brass and auxiliary is the best it gets outside of summer bands

Nice

You should totally watch 2019 Blue Devils - Ghost light. It is my favorite DCI show so far and I would really like to share it with you so you could experience it too.

Taking it old school DCI: 1995 Madison Scouts 1994 Blue Devils 1988 Santa Clara Vanguard

also the fact that some of the people that do this are in high school is crazy to me

You gotta check out Cavaliers 2010. Most people say they should've won that year.

mandarins 2023 sinnerman was pretty cool

Also react to Hebron high school 2021… best high school marching band… Texas bands don’t mess around 🔥

You should watch some indoor winds shows, LSM Winds 2024 played carnival of venice!

Carolina Crown 2013!
