As his hearing loss increased, he continued to require additional volume from the performers, without any allowance for degradation in sound quality, thereby maintaining a consistent listening experience for himself. (Read in documentary narrator voice)
*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
Jack Rork Brass lines pre-mid-1990's had an edginess to them that gave drum corps its own, unique sound, that many of us sorely miss. These kids are talented and put out great, well balanced sound, but there is definitely something missing...that rawness of sound that G bugles put out. And don't get me started on the latest trend in "uniforms"!
I'd say the uniforms add to the performers' dedication to the show. If you're willing to put on a purposefully bad looking suit (BD) in front of like 3,000+ people, then you definitely know you're dedicated. My issue with the uniforms comes when people say it's a necessity nowadays. Bluecoats turned it into something and now it's so everywhere that you can't get away from it. I'd have loved to see jagged line or Dreams and Nighthawks in the respective corps' 2014 uniforms, but it's been necessitated now to where if you don't have something cool with the uniforms, or non-traditional style ones, you're less of a favorite. (This isn't my opinion, I'm just stating what I've experienced with the past 2 years following dci.)
Rastafox I mean it's a danger to wear those old heat traps in 90+ degree weather. But I personally love the look of some of the corps these days and don't like the others.
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.
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 was the opener for my highschool show in 2015-2016 and to hear crown play that in a tuning circle, let’s just say I could die right now and I’d be totally happy with it.
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
First time in my life I've ever heard a horn line actually create the auditory equivalent to an earthquake. It was incredible beautiful and terrifying all at once... And we want more and I'm willing to bet if you were to walk into that building now you can still very faintly hear the echo of that cut off still haunting the Halls . it was glorious from start to finish!
🌟 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!! 💫
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!
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!!
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!!
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
If you've never heard those corps from the 70s and 80s in person, you might not understand. Sure, the corps today have a more polished and colorful sound. But in terms of volume, these new age corps do not even come close. If you didn't see it back then, you've missed it. It's not coming back, sadly.
Amplification and accustics have to do with shape of line and length of tubing. A g bugle is just slightly shorter so the centeral note as "c" is "g". All amplify the same, but the farther and longer tubing (Bb) according to physics should amplify more....
Goosebumps. If only DCI got rid of the distractions from this amazing sound like recordings, SFX, synths, singers, mashups,,etc.... Drums, Brass, Color, kills!
Have no choice. The music is percussive, can’t carry, project, or penetrate. Its like Chinese food. Until you flood it with soy sauce, duck sauce, hot mustard sauce, hot sauce, its tasteless crap. So, the ly cover it up with everything other than the player, with dancing, yoga, moving around, trying to figure out what life lesson passed us by, sound effects. By the way, Jewel doesn’t need that. Prince didn’t need it. Just sit and play. But, there is no skill, so distract. Disney effect.
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.
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.
If only everyone could have seen the 2000's cavalier hornlines warm up. We were doing these tuning exercises and were so freaking balanced it was stupid. Glad to see other corps are adopting what we were doing and it's starting to get noticed. Great sound.
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!”

"We're about to do one of our hits here in a second"
Such a classic
YASSSSS
Mellophones on that G that was awesome
ryan belt lol
@@ethan6090 Mellophones on that G that was awesome
I bet this man feels like God every time he does this
Alex Savage in the world of marching brass, he basically is god.
I would argue that Donnie VanDoren is god, and Matt is the second coming. lmao!
Russell Kasem Jim Ott, then Donnie, then this guy. But they're all of different eras
What if he is god
He is god
This is SO much more impressive when you realize that single note is 5 people playing together
So glad I was there to see this. Crown's hornline is one of the best in DCI.
Personally, I was impressed with the Cavs hornline last night as well
Yeah cavies are pretty strong this year as well as Boston
Well the caption head came from Crown...
Blue Coats took brass tonight.
WRONG. there is no argument they are the best.
He had a full head of hair but the years of bells straight to his head forced the follicles out of his scalp.
Tom K worth it.
As his hearing loss increased, he continued to require additional volume from the performers, without any allowance for degradation in sound quality, thereby maintaining a consistent listening experience for himself. (Read in documentary narrator voice)
lol
Daniel Butcher David Attenboroughs voice lol
Tom K and a ear full of hearing loss over the years
3:39 is truly amazing. You can LITERALLY HEAR the reverb traveling across the halls.
Best part.
Reverb is amazing? Did you miss the part where THEY STAYED IN PRECISION ACCURATE TUNE THE ENTIRE TIME?
*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.....
ninjamedic41 I literally just drooled on myself. But this is unmistakably Crown quality, like every year
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
Sounds great, but drum and bugle corps shouldn't play trombones.

scoobydoo62 A danger?! Those old "heat traps" were worn for MANY years by corps, yet members weren't keeling over in droves. Imagine that!
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.
Chris Roy UNPLUG THE CORPS!
that’s not true but i do like hearing these lots
I love that every time they cut off a big hit, Matt checks his phone like "Shit bruh, just another Tuesday".
This is awesome :)
Nothing compared to your quality, but I try! Thank you!
This video is so raw. I cannot wait to see what HornlineFanatic puts out this year. PUMPED UP
Yeah you know I liked it!
Yes!!! Another drop the hammer vid to watch 1000s of time!
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!
Y'all I cried watching this. Its just a brass thing.
Capers Beach I play Sax and I cried 😂
I play bass clarinet and I just nutted hardcore
Capers Beach same
Same
That was the opener for my highschool show in 2015-2016 and to hear crown play that in a tuning circle, let’s just say I could die right now and I’d be totally happy with it.
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.

Crown hornlike hits work better than Viagra. I mean... DAYYUM.
Still coming back to these Crown tuning videos. God they're amazing. I've seen so many, but I think this one is my favorite.
I remember when Crown was considered the “little guy” in DCI. Glad to see the corps has come so far.
Is it bad that my first reaction was "damn look at that breathing technique"
No, I aspire to master breathing technique, as I suck at it
At 3:17 just watch the camera shake from sheer power......
First time in my life I've ever heard a horn line actually create the auditory equivalent to an earthquake. It was incredible beautiful and terrifying all at once... And we want more and I'm willing to bet if you were to walk into that building now you can still very faintly hear the echo of that cut off still haunting the Halls . it was glorious from start to finish!
*sigh* the life of a tuba player. **Carolina crown tuning sequence ***plays only one note the entire last hit
but I bet those tubas are almost passing out during that entire hit.
William Charles Longwell 3
It’s called stagger breathing my friend
bro i thought the breathing gym was hard until my director made us do this 😭
It's all we do man we get nothing
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!
every time i watch this one it gets better
🌟 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!! 💫
There are very few things that could put a smile on someone’s face and this is one of them.
Watching this gives me goosebumps. I can only imagine how speechless I would be if I saw it live.
One of my favorite things is the echo at a perfect cutoff - 3:37
that camera shake from the force of the sound at 3:18 is pretty epic.
Too bad the recording device had a brick wall compressor on it when we got to 3:18, but I guess my headphones are probably glad.
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
3:26 literally sounds like a choir
Legend has it the chord is still echoing to this day.
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!!
Brought tears to my eyes...
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!
Damn!!!Y’all just took it to the next level...Very nice
Bryan Singleton Thank you Matt, very cool!
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!!
Love it when I am recommended Carolina Crown warm ups. :)
That took my breath away!!! Fantastic control and direction!!!
Very... Impressive. I absolutely love his enthusiasm... I watch all of the corps... But Cc is still my fav
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 excellence on every level- tone quality, tuning, balance, dynamics- wow
I saw them at Orlando DCI and they were vastly improved and more in tune
they are just having fun this year with a fun show!
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
Matt is in on the spooky monster stuff
I’m auditioning for crown for the 2020 season on baritone, wish me luck!! 👑🤞
this comment didn’t age well
So... Did you make it?
I’m auditioning on bari for 2021. Can’t wait to see you 😁
@@robertgiudice5257 Good luck🤞
pre-pandemic - brings tears to my eyes guys simply awesome!!!!
I know this video is going 5 years but idfc my goosebumps still get goosebumps
Words cannot explain how good they are
anytime i watch one of their tuning sequences i get major chills
@oldschooldrumcorps sorry, what was that you were saying about g bugles and amplification in modern drum corps? I think need a refresher
If you've never heard those corps from the 70s and 80s in person, you might not understand. Sure, the corps today have a more polished and colorful sound. But in terms of volume, these new age corps do not even come close. If you didn't see it back then, you've missed it. It's not coming back, sadly.
yeah i really do wish i could go back in time, i can't imagine what that was like /:
Amplification and accustics have to do with shape of line and length of tubing. A g bugle is just slightly shorter so the centeral note as "c" is "g". All amplify the same, but the farther and longer tubing (Bb) according to physics should amplify more....
They sounded louder because your hearing was still intact.
Nathan Glugla this guy has the real truth
When an enormous amount of hard work pays off.
Goosebumps. If only DCI got rid of the distractions from this amazing sound like recordings, SFX, synths, singers, mashups,,etc.... Drums, Brass, Color, kills!
Mark Humenik lol marimba too

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
Trombones add so much to the sound. God i love it so much.
Mike TROMBONES ARE NOT BUGLES ,SO YOUR GROUP IS NOT A DRUM AND BUGLE CORPS. FORMER MEMBER OF THE LONG ISLAND SUNRISES DRUM AND BUGLE CORPS.
Finding, organizing, and directing this incredible brass line would definitely make me feel like "god".

so many of my friends are in dci SHOUTOUT TO NOAH WRIGHT ❤️❤️ love CC so much! good luck to you all this year :)
This is the best one I’ve ever see
Never fails to give me chills
OMG...absolutely breathtaking.
i can't get enough of this...
I swear this never gets old
If only everyone could have seen the 2000's cavalier hornlines warm up. We were doing these tuning exercises and were so freaking balanced it was stupid. Glad to see other corps are adopting what we were doing and it's starting to get noticed. Great sound.
I would say Star was doing it in the early '90s (and Cadets '81-'84 before them) and Crown is continuing that pedagogy and taking it up a notch
Cavialiers were doing it earlier than Star. Star of Indiana, that is. But you are right about the Cadets. Good post.
I wish I could go see DCI so bad this year.
Can't remember how many times this horn line has received a perfect score
That gave me the chills...
AMAZING GRACE how sweet the sound 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🎵🎺🎶
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!”
after sitting here with my hair stood on end what i have of it for the tenth time this is musical dynamite............ .the ending is jaw dropping!!
at 2:36 it sounds like someone is mowing the grass in the background 😂 and then it's absolutely awesome 😎
Can somebody explain the monkey crawl thing that they do during the drone? I haven’t seen that in the past.
Michael Banks they're acting like the "beast" from their show
Part of the show...
SWEET!!! HOLY BALLS BATMAN. a gives me chills on the back spine
THATS MY BOY ALEX GETTIN IT!
OUACK
proud of you BB
I love this corner of UA-cam. Stuff like this and the stuff Westminster Chorus is doing is grossly unknown and it's a damn shame.
Oh yeah, it's gonna be a good show this year... On to the Beanpot Invitational next week! YES!!
This makes me smile every time
That was actually very nice to listen to.
And BlueCoats take brass tonight lol
The last time Bluecoats won a high brass at finals was?
Jerry Sink and Crown didn’t take the high brass award again :(
The quality is great
I would love it if this band performed at my own funeral.
Shook doesn’t even describe how mesmerized I am.
Ive been watching crown for years and Ive never heard them sound this good this early since 2013
I got the chills
i went to that show it was freaking awesome
NUT
Daniel Aus. Hahaha
And if you like music this reaction was completely understandable
I was at the event in detroit AND I MISSED THIS >:^(
Saw them at the theater via 'Fathom Events.' Easily, the best corp of the show!!!
Booyeah! My marching band stole this warmup and would do it as well.
XD - no wonder we were aite'!
You know what the best note is…the mellophone last note. Music isn’t music without harmony 😁
We copied/slightly altered this tuning sequence for the last two years at my highschool and it was so intense
Yo! I high-fived a couple of these guys after a parade last year
A WALL of musical perfection!
Why do these tuning sessions make me literally tear up
Chills every time. Every damn time
man i saw them in mesquite and it was incredible
