That video didn't actually go viral. It was just me rewatching it 700k times.
Jacob Davis same
And my 700k times 😂
It has been forever since I read something so deeply true to me
Aaaaand I help!
Oh, I thought that was my 100000 views
yeah i’ve seen that clip maybe 15 times and i still get chills
John Peyton good to know i'm not the only one constantly rewatching this
15 times is weak. Probably have watched it over 75 times now no exaggeration
Just 15?? Missing a few zeros there.
15 times? I watched this like since October 2020, and I still get chills.😂 Seriously, now Bb Minor is my fav chords of all time
Rookie numbers 🥱, lmao true though, chills every time
I just love that the full grown adults in the middle have to cover their ears, I can't describe how much I wish I could sit in the middle of that circle.
ConnorSM64 Yesssssss!
Because they're the staff and they are probably there everyday. This isn't good for your ears. Being infront of a good hornline like that is okay for a day or so but everyday getting your ears blasted is not good.
They do it to hear how well balanced/tuned the ensemble is.
Your hearing afterwards would not agree with that statement
One other thing: The sound reflects better on pavement, not grass.
One of the ear trickery things that is interesting is at the very end when they cut off. The other corps you hear in the background is holding a Bb major, but when Crown stops, you expect to hear the echo of the Bb minor. Gets me every time.
And it's cool how after he cuts them off you can here a Bb major chord in the background somewhere 👍
That's the bluecoats inferior brass section warming up. Crown completely drowned them out
Lil Frugal not the year before :)
I’m so glad someone else heard it too! 😂
Fact. Crown 16's hornline was definitely one of the best in this decade
@@lilfrugal7922 boooooo Bluecoats are awesome, and because you happen to have an opinion about a brassline, you're a shitty person and I now hate yooouuu
I love when you hear notes and even when rewatching can't be 100% sure whether or not they are really being played. Physics is fun.
4:54 putting your fingers in your ears only makes me play louder. I'm sure most brass players would agree. Thanks for the education. Really interesting.
Lmao
I think its because they're staff and it helps them hear tuning better. could be wrong
Uh hearing loss isn't fun? The staff have to be on the receiving end of that every day lol. You'd cover your ears too
Marched for crown in 06. That brass program is probably the most solid and technical in the world of DCI.
omg that release was sooo on point. Its like the car stopped but it was so perfected and defined that I went flying out the windshield wondering where the car went.
Perfect and hilarious analogy.
Very educational! Crown definitely sets the example for excellent brass lines.
But....BUT.....Blue Devils!!!! (said VERY sarcastically)
Yes, Crown , Coats and Phantom always blow me away with brass.
So wait, he mentioned at the end of the tuning sequence that the trumpets go from F to a Bb. As a trumpet player, that would make sense in concert pitch, because for us it would go from our G to our tuning note C. We don't tune on our Bb, like the staff he showed represented. Does Crown actually use concert Eb scale to tune, to end on a concert Ab? That doesn't seem right
2:10 why is “crunchy” actually the best word to describe this sound
“Smooth” sounds are usually major chordings and voicing, notes that tie hand in hand to each other. its the stuff thats more pleasant to hear
“Crunchy” doesn’t flow as smooth. Dissonance and notes that don’t sound like they should be together (but sound nice in a passive-aggressive type love) break down that “feel good” flowing like sound.
@@rylandcook5301 Dissonance is a wonderful thing in music, AS LONG AS it is resolved in the end. That is my beef with Blue Devil shows. They dont bother with resolution and it tends to leave me fatigued and glad they are done.
Wait till you hear percussion terms
3:18 TEASE
Jesse Hernandez you right
Hi long loss sis
The punch ducting bit was hilarious HAHAHA
you should see him in the lot for 2013, he looked like he was trying to use force lightning lol
@@demigr0539he's just passionate about brass
cant wait to audition for them in 2019
Ekiso Okima after the 2018 season I’m auditioning for them too I’ll see you there remember this name “Nathan Williams” or “Nate Williams”
Ekiso Okima good luck. I am hoping to adution too.
Nate Williams good luck
So how was auditions lol
How did auditions go?
I have played orchestra for 8 years and only touched saxophone for one year and I absolutely love the original video by them. I have watched it about at least 20 times in the past semester.
I love hearing the Bb dominant 7th chord (2nd to last chord of thumbs) from Bluecoats after Crown Brass releases off of Bb minor
Our hs band has been doing that first part of the warmup for our brass for a while and it’s amazing
I always watch the video first thing in the morning to start my day because it always gives me chills
I'll give him a 10 on Visual Analysis, 10 on General Effect, and what the heck, a 9.9 on Color Guard (for his epic bodily moves!) If he did a backflip at the end, that would've sealed it!
Love the break down. One of my all time favorite clips.
I know I'm way behind the ball on getting to this, but you for sure are hearing a Db in this and it's in the euphoniums/baritones. No, it's not implied; it's actually there and it sounds AWESOME
We started doing this same warmup in my schools marching band and its fucking wonderous
I think one of the most deadly things about this particular lot video from Crown is the silence. At the cutoff you can hear the loud silence.
exceptionally well done. (I didn't understand ONE WORD of it, but I just let my goosebumps lead the way) you're passionate and smart about what you do, and laid it all out beautifully, regardless if my dumb brain doesn't know a B flat from a flat tire
Jesus Christ Crown always brings huge volume, definitely one of the best horn lines
me scientifically explaining what I hear in this:
points to goosebumps on arm
that crown hit reduces me to tears
Thank you man im starting to think music theory has no end, even when i think i understand it all there is still stuff i dont know and probably will never know.
Forget the theory - just listen & enjoy!
adhanda2017 no.
After the cluster chords, it's just part of Samuel Barber's music from their show, specifically Medea's Dance of Vengeance. Man do I love me some Barber...
Gives me Goosebumps every time at the end
We need a music theory class taught by him. Plz make this happen!
Someone finally explains it!!
mellophones on that G that was awesome
I LOVE this!! More music theory on Crown!
I play this for my middle school bands when they first learn to use their air correctly.
Thanks for the info! I just 'discovered' them today! That video sound went to my very soul ! I cried with excitement ! 😎👏
Video sends chills down my spine and makes my ears feel heavenly.
I've watched this like 700k times too. So gud finally someone explains the cool effect
Ok, I'm a drummer so i always watch the drumlines warm up. But, WHAT THE HELL HAVE I BEEN MISSING?!!! Next year i will watch more horns and definitely more pit percussion.
Haha I'm on hornline and said the same thing about drum lots! Got dragged to watch drum lots on finals day and I ended up loving every second
@@elisabethmiranda7802 Ha! Nice
It's not just the chord tones, though I get the theory.... its the timbre and tuning.... It's just such a clean brass sound that punches me in the feels-taint....
I love this so much
God I’m so glad I get to work with harloff. He’s actually a super fun guy and he’s great lol
Lucky me I've been to and practiced in that same parking lot and preformed at that field
The lighting makes Harloff look like he's in front of a green screen.
Great explanation of the warm up progression. I have listened to Carolina Crown play this beautiful progression n^n+1 times!
Jimmy Steele was a great punchductor for spirit in 03 very similar punch pattern.. Lol love the style
This is awesome !
Very nice!!
nice touch with the theory
Great video.
Hey Chris!!!! This is so cool!
Nice!!! 👍
I try teaching to my players 🎼🎶🎺
Very intresting video :D
Thanks mate, keep it up!!
Is there a video like this one that explains Blue Devils Space Chords?
Earned a sub. Fun video
Tune that piano. yikes
not out of tune, a lot of drums corps tune to A:442Hz
wait really? why? Im so curious now.
one of those is not 440 I suspect the piano
Probably something to do with it being hot in the summer.
The piano isn't even in tune with itsself
first time seeing this series, yay for education
...luv these vids!!😉...js...👍👍
okay, this is epic
I need to go to bed
I’ve never seen anything like that in a hornline warmup!
I definitely hear the Db
After they stop playing I can hear a resolution of the chord but where is it coming from
Bluecoats horn line
That Db could be what is called a combination tone, which is just a tone that we hear that but is not really there or is not played at all, it is a psychoacoustic phenomenon.
ua-cam.com/video/73_CiAYX00k/v-deo.html
Example of Combination Tones
Idk, unless my ears are tricking me, it sounds like there’s a baritone playing that note. A bit loud actually, you can hear the gaps in the sound.
Andrew Hill they might be, i never really analyzed it but nice catch, I just stating that theory just for the fun of it for us music nerds but I’ll check it again and see
Lol I agree with Andrew Hill I heard that d flat too there is something playing it if you listen closely but I can't tell if its a mellophone or a high baritone
The euphoniums are playing the Db
At the end of the lot video whoever was also warming up resolves their Bb Minor to a Bb Major
Punchducting. I love it.
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Can you talk about why the 2018 cross men ballad end sounds so smooth and N I C E?
Sound effects at 3:42 😂
Love it man but lets get some new footage... it's season time.
Their lot warm up changes every year, buddy.
I thought the bugles used in the Drum and Bugle Corps were G instruments? If so, why would they center on Bb for tuning?
Althepal Music - Corps switched to Bb horns several years ago.
@@chr9s833 Thank you for the clarification!
The U.S. Marine D&BC just switched from 2 valve to 3 valve Bugles Valentine's Day, 2022. And they Remained in G. Anybody know why ?
Yeah, we know.
soooooo who has sheet music for this so that I can give it to the brass line at my college?
i miss them all , stupid covid-19
I WAS THERE HEHEHEHE
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
hello, i realize this is a little while late, but when i listen to the actual show, the mellos change notes more at that same note but in this warm up and in this video, ua-cam.com/video/lCzx-3DEPGI/v-deo.html , they dont do it. Why?
The mellos is G A B C
4:40 haha g sus 😂 🤣
Gb#11
I hate theory but this was pretty cool thank you
Pogggg
Anybody else hear the add9 on the last Bb minor chord?
Joey Troia III it was probably a trick on our ears, like we can hear it, but no one was actually playing it (harmonics)
Agreed. It is just harmonics. You're hearing some slight overtones from the Db that is already in the chord from the bari voice, making it appear like an add9, but it's just another voice of the 3rd (Db)
Yes. With another few listens to it, it sounds like a harmonic. Not in the actual show either.
Bb minor plus the C the mellos rip up to is effectively an add9, yes. (Until it’s resolved, of course)
What about the bd 2017 quad cam video that had 10M views
At the second coming, there will be a suspension in the mellophones.
Yo I know Matt Harloff personally
(I’m from Avon HS)
I don't give a crap about music theory, but this was cool.
Are you speaking in concert pitch or in the instruments key
Xeno Player concert pitch
okay but who's gonna break down the subtext in those claps--
Space chords anyone
Isn't that F Remington and not Bb
They moved from Bb to F
That was nasty
More like punch-screamducting
I was hoping this video was gonna break down the cluster chords :/
Sorry, I dont need a forensic evaluation. Sort of detracts from the video somehow.
Just admit you don’t like using your brain
@@shpooko Well youre half right. I dont like YOU trying to use my brain to make a dollar on a UA-cam video.
I'm sorry, but whenever I hear something about music theory, I wonder when we're going to start talking about retro-encabulators: ua-cam.com/video/aW2LvQUcwqc/v-deo.html
Haha it’s a green screen
Crown ain't shit, devs is where it's at
I understand the point of cluster notes but I hate them, they make me cringe and really break up the song for me
The horns are actually starting on the 5th and walking up, so it's G A B C
