Jason Phillips I usually only like RCC. Their playing is controlled and tasteful, their performance quality is genuine and and not stiff. Rhythm X is also very good. Great movement quality.
I've been thinking about this for a while and wanted to put my thoughts down and maybe get some input from other wgi addicts. I think this show references each previous show RCC has performed. -2002: far left painting (heartbeat), also fitting that the first reference is for the first RCC show -2003: jump and play stuff @ 4:20 -2004: painting 2nd from the left (little squares) is the same design as the backdrops in 2004 -2005: ghost notes at 6:00? 2005 had a cool ghost note/decrescendo in their ballad, so this could be a reference to that. There were also like 5 dance breaks in 2005, so maybe the dance break Landon starts is a reference -2006: ??? I can't find anything other than the floors being similar colors. Could be a hidden reference in the 2 paintings I don't have a show for (middle and far right) or some similar music from the pit, but I'm not sure -2007: little drum on the pedestal is referencing the end of the 2007 show when a kid walks out and plays some flams on a tiny drum -2008: black hat hanging in the white room -2009: sidestep drill at 6:03 is a well known part of the 2009 opener -2010: the repeated "running" visual at the beginning of the show is also used a lot in the beginning of 2010, it's a fairly common visual and fits -2018s theme so I could be reading too far into it. Right after the jump and play at 4:20 they have the same 5:3 rhythm in the battery that the 2010 show ends with, so maybe also that. I also feel like the pit has similar motifs in both shows but I don't know 2010 well enough to say for sure -2011: 2nd painting from the right (squiggly line) is the floor from 2011, plus various "flying" visuals -2012: folded flag on a pedestal in the white room, also cymbals at 4:50 when they lay on their backs (edit: tenors at 5:36 have a traditional grip prep, so that could also be a 2012 reference) -2013: snare visual at the beginning of the 6:15 Tenor feature is a repeated visual in 2013, mostly in the beginning -2014: bull horn on the pedestal in the white room -2015: little tree in back of white room. Also the lunge down at 6:09 could be referencing the final battery impact of 2015 -2016: I'm surprised I'm having a hard time here, since 2016 is one of my favorite wgi shows ever. I think the left hand prep/fake out at 5:36 references the fake out in 2016 right after the tenors have the traditional grip feature towards the beginning. I'm sure there's a better reference somewhere. (edit: I just noticed tenors do this prep in traditional as well, so this is definitely a 2016 and/or 2012 reference) -2017: "wings" visual at 2:25 from the dudes running behind the props. Could also be a 2011 reference. I think cymbals around 5:00 as well, but I'm not sure -2018: the show ends with the trumpet being added to the white room, saying that this show is now part of RCC's legacy and history Observations: I see 3 eras in RCC's indoor history. 2002-2009, 2011-2016, and 2017-present. 2010 is left out because it's really weirdly in the middle of two eras and I can't decide where to put it. This also follows the drum brands they've used. The first era was Dynasty, in 2010 they switched to Pearl, and in 2017 they switched to System Blue. This makes sense, because there's a good chance that changing drums could've been caused by changing staff as well. I watched 2003, 2004, 2006, and 2010 for the first time to find some of these references
So the “with or without you” ending with pointing at the trumpet I think was a sign saying that regardless of what anyone thinks they (RCC) is going to innovate and try new things like for ex. A trumpet. Hence why their show was “the sound of progress”.
Agreed. And at the end, the trumpet takes its place in the back corner as a symbol of the continued legacy of innovation of RCC (along with all the other props from past seasons).

Hell, i think the stick drop save that Miles does is pro level. Drops a stick and NO ONE notices. Check out 1989 SCV. Their tenor player dropped a stick during the solo camera panned away, and next frame he recovered. They won too.
@@faukslayer2495 because I was in it. I played quads at RCC from 2001 to 2003, then drumset in 2006 winterline. I also played quads for Blue Devils in 2002.
I’m a Pulse fan myself but I even though I loved pulse 2018 I truly could not find anything that could be better about this show. It’s perfection from start to finish.
I actually saw these guys rehearse on the day I had to perform at semi finals. We got to see them perform there whole show before they went to the arena and they also saw our show! They really liked it!
I’ve listened to this at least a hundred times over the past month. Been trying to hear the tenor part so I can perform it. If someone can direct me to a website or video with the tenor sheet music, that would be great.
This makes me so mad. The group I'm in used an accordion in our show and almost got penalized for it being a "wind instrument" now this group wins with a damned trumpet?!
Melanie Rollings Sorry this is such a late response but WGI does allow non percussion instruments but the trumpet in this I believe is only judged for GE rather than the musicality. I think groups get approved for using them? I’m not too sure. I know for a fact that Pulse in 2018 had a string quartet that was officially approved by WGI (I think). I don’t what circuit you participate in, but depending on the circuit the rules could be different :/
The trumpet is a featured soloist for their 2018 production. WGI is for mainly anything indoor marching: guard, percussion, and winds. For the percussion groups some like to implement different instruments as featured soloists that really add to the effect of the show. Not every group implements these soloists because they might just not need them for certain years.
Not A fan of RCC or this show at all. But you'd have to be dense to say that they were not the very definition of PHENOMENALLY clean this season. That quad break near the end, that's rhythmically verbatim to what the Front is playing, is one of the most awe-inspiring passages I've ever seen in this activity. Give credit where credit is due
Am I'm I the only one impressed with how they started. From what I can tell their cue came from the trumpet player reaching for his horn then reaching back in time. Very subtle yet very effective.
Damn I never even noticed that first visual, that's impressive.
I love how vans are the official shoe of RCC
lol that's true.
It's so weird seeing that trumpet player crab stepping
ShellyDon17 check my channel Stryke Wynds mainly crab steps
My band try’s to crab step in every show that we have
Truly a show only RCC could have done. I love it

The ending lick of the closer tenor feature is the exact same as the 2009 feature
@@Eli43540it definitely is that much in depth. So much thought and care goes into every moment when you’re designing, specially at that level
@@ImGrantHorn I’m watching this now, as I’m older it’s definitely in depth. I don’t know why I commented that. But it’s really important.

Where?
Will Pollard quad to the far left drops sticks on his drum
Took me a bunch of times to see it
Looking back this is such a once in a generation show. Purely Incredible
So the “with or without you” ending with pointing at the trumpet I think was a sign saying that regardless of what anyone thinks they (RCC) is going to innovate and try new things like for ex. A trumpet. Hence why their show was “the sound of progress”.
But the only thing is they are not the only group who did that. For example, infinity 2 with the flugelhorn solo during their ballad.
I think whole point is that the activity as a whole is going to continue to envolve whether people agree with it or not.
As others have pointed out, it's more about the activity as a whole rather than just RCC
Agreed. And at the end, the trumpet takes its place in the back corner as a symbol of the continued legacy of innovation of RCC (along with all the other props from past seasons).
RCC is going to turn wgi into dci
DCI will turn into WGI...and WGI will turn into DCI...with or without you.
After watching alot of groups, you lowkey got a point there
Yo someone actually needs to make a tutorial on how to do Landon's dance solo
This is the video we used to learn the feet. ua-cam.com/video/A-9RWQc4tzE/v-deo.html
funny how i just learned the dance on my own

I've watched this many times and never noticed the stick drop at 4:52. It's next to the cymbal player's right foot.
The kit entrance at 1:24 is insane and i love that man forever
Brenden Kasprzyk thanks man
What a cool show! Just started watching marching arts this year, and only recently wgi.
dog de la frog Check out Aimachi 2013's ninja show
dang only 6th place, pretty cool show too!
Check out Sparkman High School 2016, they got first in open class that year and 4th this year
I love how everything in the "white room" is a reference to a past RCC show
3:03 Sounds like something Jim Morrison would write.
6:03 Haha, a little throwback to '09
1:27 Landon built different
Great show. I really REALLY enjoyed this year with them. Much RESPECT to RCC!!! Cheers!
I think that quad player who acciedentally spins his quads at the end did system blue a few years ago with me
What does the trumpet player go under for scores?..
G/than Works They can't be judged for playing but they can effect General Effect.

Crazy to think it’s been well over 3 years since I saw this performance, but the emotional impact has been long lasting. I love this show

they are the reason i bought those vans
Despite the stick laying on the floor, I was surprised no one fell on their ass.
I like the homages they make to previous shows, like 09 and 13
They came back so hard from last year. This is so freaking good.
Max Alvarado historically RCC always seems to win the year after they get 4th. With the exception of 2011 of course.
BrothaNBlue lmao it’s time for them again in 2020
Danny Hammond that aged SO poorly

anybody got trumpet sheets? im snare and trumpet player
Also just noticed the props they put up in the white room are from different shows. The siren from 2014 and the flag from maybe 2012?

our show winter 2018-19 had a sax solo
The new rule is any instrumentation is allowed, but the majority has to be percussion.
Came here mostly to see Micheal Tran on Xylo but wow everyone is amazing.
I always giddy when watching very professional drumlines. The movement at 3:43 is mesmerizing.
This really gets me in my bag (as the kids say)
The trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raise imperishable. And the living, alive at that time, will be caught up to meet them in the clouds.
This is tied with "Guardians of the Breath" as my favorite Indoor show of all time
Is that Chris Chervet on trumpet?
Yes it is!
if it isn't "are cee cee" drumline!
Those are some shiny cymbals

Wgi is so weird. I don't understand it. First I thought it was just guard but it's also battery yet it has trumpet solos and other wind instruments
This was just a show that had a trumpet in it. I don't think they normally have wind instruments in them
