band director: the music isn’t that hard
the music:
Always true
AlphaX101-GAMING yeah whatever. You’re probably trash
Everyone else: MAN THAT $@&# HARD
it feels like learning the a scale
The in school band music is always easy and the marching band music is hard
i don't even want to imagine the sheet music for this
OOh dear lord i wonder how many trees it took
Walk Band Videos 1 big oak tree

What it feel like learning the b scale the first time in band class
LilyRoseWolf /ye ikr
You mean Bb Major? Lol I feel you though
mozak plesa yea there is but the first scale you learn in beginning/intermediate band is the Bb major scale. B major scale is learned later in intermediate to advanced band, usually when learning the circle of fifths.
Syrgee # we learned it in the circle of fourths
Lmao
I'm a percussionist, and I'd just like to say thank you for lowering my self esteem by forty percent
It shouldnt really lower your self esteem, youre looking at the best of the best, there is no way to be sad about not being as good as the best people at what they do

It’s looks like it’s from a movie when he pulls it out 😂
BABY BABY BABY BABY YEAAAAHHHHH! (I hope someone understands that joke.)
thanos?
The Rocar
Fact: Percussion is the backbone of the band 👏
Sarah Ruiz it’s actually the heart beat of the band
Sarah Ruiz big facts
Sarah Ruiz actually the Drum Major is the Back none of the band
Battery is the Battery because a battery powers stuff. The pit is a pit because we are epic and people cannot step on us.
Sarah Ruiz, actually it’s the tuba, at least in symphonic bands. But you are half true because The Drums are widely considered as the foundation of a Jazz band, Rock band, etc. and there is a Drum Set present
Its crazy how hard front ensemble music really is. they make it sound and look easy from an audience perspective. But holy crap I don't have that much coordination to do all of that. Hats off to Michael Tran and all front ensembles across Drum Corps International.
Yep. Obviously marching and choreography isn’t an issue for pit players, but it’s made up for with their difficult rhythms and music. There was a striking difference in how I heard the pit music in the overall performance’s recording where it wasn’t as clear, and how I heard the actual rhythms in this headcam recording.
Yesss thank you!!!
I'm in the front ensemble (pit) in drumline and usually the audience claps more for the battery (drums)
@@alexandrasarabiaa7955 pit ≠ drumline....
@@shadowkille8r99for a lot of hs marching bands they use drumline for front ens and batterie

4 mallet on a glockenspiel
A GLOCKENSPIEL
TheMainMiek IKR. I have barely enough room to do two mallets! Most of the songs I like playing have octaves that go up and down (for example, high octave Gs, then low octave Gs), and I can’t play it because my glockenspiel is literally 2 or 3 octaves.
its 3.5 octaves
TheMainMiek dang I used to four mallets on the bells all the time
G L O C K E N S P I E L
First time I've seen it
I like how he says "five second rule" to the set player which is actually the title of the set players I&E solo
thats where the joke came from

Me: I'm decent at playing a xylophone
This video: hold my beer
i thought i was semi good at keyboards but his crotaley, bell, and vibe playing just blew my self esteem out of the water
Mieo 12321 he didn’t play vibe, it was xylophone and bells
Did u just call that xylo a vibe?
Number one rule of playing percussion, dont watch someone else do it, they will no matter what look better that you
That's not a vibe
Mieo 12321 same
I love comparing this to the kit player's cam, fun to see where they line up from, perspectives.

I know right!
Lmao same
But where is his cam?

people: Percussion is easy
Percussionist: Am I joke to you?
edit: I don't play percussions, I just wanted to be funny
Ethan wunder hello
this is very VERY TRUE i get told this all the time (i play drums btw
Ha, and they thought marimba was easy. Boy were they wrong.
as a percussionist I can in-fact say that it is not that easy
Dude for real I’m in percussion it’s really not as easy as just banging drums like people say
But the real question is, why is the set player wearing flip flops?
s0nja cause I do what I want
Zachary Hudson How hard was it to make it into the Blue Devils? I want to join Drum Corps in the future, and Blue Devils is my final goal.
To be a set player for the Blue Devils, or any player for that matter, you have to be a master of your instrument. It's especially competitive for people like the set drummer and timpani since they typically only take one, so you have to be the best of the best. I would say and I'm sure at least some people would agree with me that the Blue Devils is technically one of the best corps out there, if not THE best, so making the corp at all takes as much work and dedication as an olympic athlete. All of this said though, anything can be done with enough proficiency in a subject, and with enough practice anyone would have a decent chance.
s0nja because it’s a rehearsal and he doesn’t care
I was about to say Zach does what he wants and then I saw the comments lol
it just looks like he’s wiggling his hands around but it’s B E A U T I F U L
kacey draper He’s wiggling but they’re very precise wiggles
He kind reminds me of me cause I love the songs so much and play with my heart and wiggle my mallets
I know. Like, holy shit, I can’t imagine that such a speedy being could even be a concept.
Thumbs up if you are in band class!!!
I was in one of that show
Im drumline
BRASSSSSSS FOR LIFEEEEEEEE
I also play violin
Play Vibe Glocks and Rack
4:56 did he just take a xylophone breath

12:57 back to the crotales
13:08 now dampen them so they don’t ring while they announce the name of the Corp
13:13 this ending is really good but it’s not as good as 8:15 change my mind
Jay7022 found it lol -E (also oh my god this is long)
Jay7022 you legend
Thank you Deadpool!
w0w207 what does ad lib mean?
Inverted_ box it generally means speak without preparation. it’s mostly in music when an artist adds random, unrehearsed lines in a song, typically in rap music. an example could be when DJ Khaled yells “WE THE BEST MUSIC” or 2Pac’s “westside”
I think Jesus may have came back to earth 5 times and picked up each bass and played at 7:15
Jaylon Leonard the split though mannnnn
I wish I could do that split :o
BD bass-line doesn’t mess around
Lmao my percussion teacher today just said ya like jazz
“Bicycle hands” my music teacher said and this guys goin full on torpedo mode
theyre playing the flight of the bumble bee perfectly and im over here as a little flutist that struggled in the flute/clarinet part in air dublinesque
12:35 R.I.P. glockenspiel
So much respect for pit, I play bass clarinet and bari sax but RESPECT!!
Oh good lawd....the bass run at 7:15....jeeeezus!
Oh my god I didn’t realize that run
2:14 did he just say I'm finna bust
Yes
Y E E T
He did lol
Making this a long term project to learn this! Starting today! 10/1/21
Will update if/when I finish :)
6/6/22 got a lot of the parts done!!
4/8/24 whoops 2 year late update 😅
This became a side project I forgot but I never gave up on mallets and am proud to say I have an audition for a college band in 2 months!!
Update?
did you ever finish
How are you doin?
how does someone even...
Hey what r u doing here

Hi?
practice, my friend.
tons and tons of practice
2:23 What the frick was that?! How were you so accurate?! IMEADIATLY IMPRESSED!
i love how throughout this entire performance everyone is bodily engaged and incredibly focused on how what they do contributes to each other as an ensemble. beautiful job.
wow, this is amazing, wish I hadn't wasted all that time on orchestra and choir. I wish I had been in band, this is amazing.
gydeb Band was the best thing to happen to me lol
I wish it was the best thing to happen to me. But noooooo, cello is just perfect, people will totally know what that is.
im in band
What do you play?
Im in percussion and this person recording did an outstanding job
I am a percussionist and a drummer and all I can say is WOW 😮
Those are the same things I thought.
@@milkshake-380 they are the same thing lol
I always get a ton of shit for being in pit and it kinda depresses me. I feel like im missing out on the experience of.marching but I dont feel good enough to switch to drumline. I can play the parts but I cant march. I dont have the stamina to march a show.
TheKewlGamingMonkey marching isnt too hard. im in my freshman year as a baritone ( we dont allow trombones) and it was tough at first but after about 2 days you get everything down really easily except for slides maybe
TheKewlGamingMonkey They don't expect you to naturally know how to march, once you make drum line they teach you how to march the first couple days of band camp.
TheKewlGamingMonkey pits awsome i have ben lead marimba for 2 years now and it been a huge part in my life
Pit is important too. You get to play so many instruments. Never feel second class for being in pit.
I've been alternating between being in pit and marching and I still don't understand why horn line members always hate on the pit, cause they usually rely on them for their entrances, whether they're supposed to or not :P
Everyone in Junior High band: mAllEt pErcUssIOn Is sO EAsY
Blue devils:
it is pretty easy in junior high, but this is dci, so it's not
Yeah the higher you climb the ladder the harder it gets
2:36 did no one else notice his sticks dropped in time
OMG YESSSS
I think that was on purpose but I love it so much
In the pit, visuals are actually really important. After all you are the closest to the audience. That’s why they tend to play very extravagantly and why they do things like flip their sticks, and it’s also why they shove the sticks/shakers in the bag in time or on notes, or also to make the sounds less noticeable. Anyways, thanks for coming to my Ted talk
7:24 my fav part 😍
4:52 GODDAMN i would have missed at least 25% of the notes
I love watching percussion stuff, I miss marching band :( I was in the Kiski area marching band when I was high school. The college I went to didn't have a band, they got rid of it once I join :(
Maybe you smell.
Kiski Pennsylvania?
yes
I go to Mckeesport Pa
sammydrumm maybe you were too good
I can’t get over 6:38 the combination of the hi-hat into the xylo part Is fantastic and i love the way it sounds there
“I’m finna bust” 2:17 im hollering
It’s actually 2:15
"Percussion is easy" - My Friend Zach. "How does it feel having to play the same thing over and over again?" - My Friend Zach
Fuck Zach
saw them at dci nashville and was fully shook
I’m still shook. We went to dci Nashville after bandcamp.
Memphis Kash my killua is better
God I wish I was in the pit :(((((( I can’t stand marching but I love marching band sooo 😂 mellophone is too much pressure for me
tylerdied That's why the front ensemble is the funnest thing. The only bad thing is that you can't march in parades
then join pit next season :)
You think mellaphone is hard try carrying a bass drum
WillMPB/ /MrPizzaBoy57 I meant it was too much pressure mentally my school has a really big band but for some reason we only have 2 people in our mellophone section and we have a lot of solos sooo 🙃 but yeah you’re right after 3rd Bass I would die
ooooh! mello's unite!
Yo this guy is literally me. You can tell he loves doing this and is very passionate about it. When i was in front during marching season i was like the only hyped up one. This is the best video ever!
I need to stop watching DCI videos. Like my confidence in myself decreases by a whole 2% for every minute I watch
4:33 I swear on this one he says “ad lib” but on the drummer head cam he says “tiny Rick”
😭😭 THAT BASS RUN AT 7:15
Travis Vis how do u guys hear this stuff, I can't hear it!
ThunderAnt you gotta put your ear close to the speaker!
Travis Vis !!!!!!
Travis Vis but still i cant tell
Travis Vis also all i hear are the horns
This was like the first blue devils vid i watched 2 years ago and i didnt watch the full thing cause i got bored and then i came back watching EVERY head cam idk Why
Litteraly same
and the trumpets are complaining about how they have a hard instrument.
Owen Doyal ikr it’s clearly French horn...
Big Head YES IT IS

That piece of shit easy but not this shit
2:22 EXCUSE ME??!?!?!?!

I’m not even in band and you made my self confidence in playing an instrument plummet. You were amazing.
6:41 Most satisfying bar in DCI Front Ensemble history
No 7:51
That little 7 note phrase at 7:47 is just *chefs kiss* absolutly amazing! Idek why it's this specific 2-3 sec phrase that just really gets to me. Top notch stuff right here!

4:47 his look to camera was so well timed 😆

Coote show? Read the video Description
Where is the flight of the bumblebee?
Fhena Falkov around 3:50
This just healed my soul so much ... graduating high school and not being able to be in marching band, pep band, or band on general is killing me. Being in drum line was one of my favorite memories in high school 🙂
Wow it sounds so beautiful! Gorgeous playing!
12:00 - 13:11 my favorite part(I think I like 12:37 the most because of the energy) although all of this is amazing
This video makes me feel like I am doing something wrong as a percussionist. Good Job
This is the greatest video I have ever watched im sharing this with all my musical friends
You're a hog on the mallets, beast warrior of the band lol
Paul Fuller drum study god right
4:47 the look on that guys face xD
HOLY FUCK! THE BASSES AT 7:14 !!!!!!
AJ Peal what?
ThunderAnt That bass split dude!!
AJ Peal omg yeeesss
YESSS IT WAS SO GOOD!! I PLAY FIRST BASS AT MY HIGH SCHOOL, IF ONLY WE COULD DO THATTT
In my high school marching band, we have 4 bass players, one of which has been in the band since day one. She, to say the very least, is the worst drummer I've ever heard play. She either dramatically rushes or dramatically drags, and can't keep a steady beat to save her life. She can't even play a clean triplet, and our newest member of the band called her out on it, and even though he has just recently joined the band and has never even toughed a drum in his life until now, he is *so much better* than her. It's almost funny how a new member is much better than someone who's been playing since *elementary* lol.
Honestly, this will never get out of my head. Especially the fact that I am now getting into marching band stuff and just how amazing this is :D
I got to say HOLY CRAP I wish out band was as amazing as this one. Even with what little you see, it feels like you there. Damn that was amazing. Amazing work you guys. 😄😍🤗

I remember seeing this live, BEST THING EVER
Must be awesome being a Blue Devil, ay?
The man on drum set is grooving in flip flops
THIS SHOW IS SO POWERFUL AHHHH
This is the first ever dci cam I saw and usually I come to watch to let myself know this my first introduction to dci
I'm in begginer band and we play simple music, but every time we play as a group, it gives me a crazy adrenaline rush, so this must be like a heart attack.
ShadyCrescent93 keep that passion and use it. don’t be afraid to do new things. that feeling and that passion is what sets you aside from most of the other band kids. take it, expand it, and someday you can be in something like DCI.
Every one of those kids had the same feeling since beginning band, and it kept them going thru about 20,000 hours of practices to get to that level, just as it shall for you.
凄く上手ですね！！手の動きがしなやかで憧れです✨
Omg I wish we could do something as good as this... omg this channel is waaay to underrated for your talents. Keep it up!
We had an indoor percussion competition yesterday and Scott Johnson was one of the judges and he scored us 1st place for music!! Definitely gave us motivation!🤩
How the butt cheeks do you play flight of the bumblebee on xylophone
The pattern is actually fairly easily, it's a lot of chromatic patterns. There a couple funky parts but once you get it the hard part is bringing it up to lightspeed
Dislike because no one said “is this thing on”
Jonah Garcia *tap* *tap* “is this thing on?”
I could listen to this an entire day
Absolutely beautiful.
this is sooo cool!!!!! i wish i was in band but i play violin so....
my high school uses that exact same xylo.
Abby Kuper What brand xylophone is it?
Abby Kuper mine too
my school uses that one too, i play it! :)
Same
Abby Kuper my middle school used that brand when I was there
This is my favorite cam vid from this show
I love these different perspectives!
6:43 So smooth
3:31 wow..
3_n have u seen 8:03
I always somehow find my way back here when really bored. I guess you can never go wrong with some quality content, even if it is 3 years old.
Haven’t really been into percussion til I saw this. I love it
