Andrew Lopezz that’s actually him just making sure his valves aren’t sticky because the next part he plays requires quick moving of the valves. It’s actually typical of trumpet players to fiddle their valves to reduce friction
I don't think that the trombone part gets enough credit, these trumpet solos are amazing and incredibly high but the little trombone solo interlude before them requires insane precision and speed as well as ending on a note that is equivalent of a trumpet scream for low brass.
Old school drum corps alum here. Ya know one of the old fogies who yell we did it better? I have to say I'm impressed. We hit the high notes and we marched but you guys freaking RUN!
I actually never realized how much zombie playing these guys to keep their endurance going for the full show. Love the teamwork and synergy that they have as a group.
The fact that those two guys have enough left in the tank to play those double G's at the very end is incredible. But playing them in tune with eachother? That's just madness
ThatWasSexyPit go on musescore and look at the DCI shows people have written, and in those the lead trumpet part almost never goes as high as the BD leads this year (especially Javier)
First year in hs marching band thought it was a lot of work. Then I got into watching DCI (which is crazy awesome) and saw how much they practiced and competed! It's insane! LOVE THE BLUE DEVILS!!!
Javier is one of the most lead trumpet players in the history of DCI! My inspirations are Scott Dean and Javier. I hope to meet one of those guys before die! Love you Javier! Best wishes from Brazil 🇧🇷
Going to miss you Javier! Such an honor for me and my boys to meet you Finals night. Hopefully they didn't ruin your Cuban that they stepped on haha - you are such a special player! Thanks again - this show was special to us Alumni!
I marched competitively in high school (Lake Orion, MI if anyone's curious) and it was really some of the best times of my life; its so great to watch a video taken from the view of the marcher!
I wish things like this existed in Europe. I genuinely doubt there’s enough high school age brass players in the whole of Ireland to even make up one of those teams. Mad jealous. Mad respect. *Edit* not to mention lead players who can play that well!! What a tank!
Badassery! Amazing player. Love these horn cams. Brings back so many memories and feelings of being on the field myself. Thank you for that. Enjoy and savor every moment!
Im a tenor sax player in a highschool band i just gotta say marching band is fun IF you put in effort and time its also a good way to get credits if you can play
....i thought for marching band you just had to stand around like i knew there was like competition for marching band or something like that but i didnt know it was this holy wow😳😦
Great job! Excellent control, range, and power. Plus, all that running around. Congrats to you and the entire BD org. You deserved it. Saw your run at Nats. Was there reliving DCI glory in SCV Alumni Corps. Man, you guys rocked!
I wish there was a trombone cam but man, I just heard about DCI and all that from my marching band, I'm a freshman and boy I have to say, I love marching even better now... this is great!!!
If you main trombone you have to switch to a different instrument because finding a corp that makes you play the whole time with a trombone is non existent, most corps just have trombones in maybe 1 or two parts of the song.
Awesome show sometimes you think you know who's the best in the world but then another group comes along that blows your mind and all you think you know is scrambled and reorganized to something else.
I played trumpet. 6th grade all the way thru high school.....I wish I had even a quarter of this talent to hit those above staff notes.....beautiful trumpet. Love the silver trumpets.
And thanks ThatWasSexyPit...... your vid's never disappoint. Not sure how you pulled off Javier doing this.... he was firm this year that he wouldn't do a GoPro lol
Aug.19,2020. This is where quarantine brought me. And I will never regret it. Dude, I wish I could hit those notes that you're snacking. Wish you and your group good health dude.
I find it cool how many people there are actually performing. I’m from Australia in a pretty small school and there’s only about 5 people who can play an instrument in my year
After watching this I understand why people call this a sport.
My lips hurt just by thinking of how high those notes are
It does hurt with the high notes on the trumpet
No kidding!!!
they're not that high im a trash trumpet player and even I can hit those without it hurting
Mathew Baltazar ikr Its terrible
@@cabslife that was a tripple G I think. I doubt you could be a trash player and hit that note just saying
The fact that you can see the camera shake when he plays the higher notes shows just how much effort he’s putting in. That’s amazing.
Me: can't even play double g while standing still
Javier: Prancing across the field turning his body completely sideways plays double A's
Brandon Groves practice
Elvis Morales (i’m a flute and tenor sax player) after one month of practicing, i can play a pretty solid double g
Abhinav Cheedella on what instrument though?
LAST COMMENT LOL 😂 it wasn’t him I saw a comment from another guy saying it was him.
I can get the note I’m just in excruciating pain afterwards
"Hey Mikey... let's make these GoPros kiss."
"Ah! Hornets! In the food line!"
Lmao
I think these band nerds have the best sense of humor
THOSE FINGERS AND THAT VALVE OIL HOLY
Got valve your keys good man X3
"One more left"
"Idk, I'm feelin 2"
Ha get it cause they won
That's the coolest exchange anyone's ever had in of these videos
The fact that you see him playing with the valves nervously really shows how much pressure he feels at 8:14.
Andrew Lopezz 👀
Andrew Lopezz that’s actually him just making sure his valves aren’t sticky because the next part he plays requires quick moving of the valves. It’s actually typical of trumpet players to fiddle their valves to reduce friction
That’s cause the dude gots to play so high 😂
everyone does that though
JESUS WOW
I don't think that the trombone part gets enough credit, these trumpet solos are amazing and incredibly high but the little trombone solo interlude before them requires insane precision and speed as well as ending on a note that is equivalent of a trumpet scream for low brass.
Find a spot where he's not playing 6 steps above the staff. Impossible
Caleb 23 the very beginning of his solo on the ballad?? starts on a D on the staff
John you totally didn’t get it...
I don't play trumpet so I don't know, but this sound like it. 7:12
See, when you're a flute player...
John how do you know that
"Let's get this money"
*pays to be in drum corps*
This whole show sounds like a happy buffed interstellar soundtrack and I love it
I don't even play a brass instrument why am I here
Jay Sam it's times like this where i wish i could play one
lowkey the only reason i started playing low brass is cause of this (i’ve been playing for like 4 months now)
TheNerdInTraining I play violin. I have no reason at all to be here.
cuz it’s cool
same
Old school drum corps alum here. Ya know one of the old fogies who yell we did it better? I have to say I'm impressed. We hit the high notes and we marched but you guys freaking RUN!
Good on you for being the cool vet 👍
I actually never realized how much zombie playing these guys to keep their endurance going for the full show. Love the teamwork and synergy that they have as a group.
Me: How in the world. I can barely march and play a high A how does he. WAIT. It's Javier
Where are you at now
12:37
Jesus, props to you two for staying so in tune with each other on those notes!
11:25 puts a smile on my face every time
the volume and tone quality at this high of a pitch is simply unmatched.
4:41 How in the..???
ikr
Literally my reaction. He's truly a astounding player!
Practice and long articulation practice. I’m 14 and can only play a double c.
Josh Lahlum you may be thinking of the wrong c.
I've been playing for only a year and can get a double g. Not comfortably, but it sounds good.
2:21 I’m drumline but that gave me chills
The fact that those two guys have enough left in the tank to play those double G's at the very end is incredible. But playing them in tune with eachother? That's just madness
7:49 me at a haunted house
12:20 I FREAKING LIVE FOR THAT PART.
Diana De leon aw he has a buddy
Same
6:16 that Spicy low brass sound. Mmmh. 👌
That handshake at 13:08 is amazing
this is gonna have over a million views real soon
Miyala Peters You’re hired as Director of Marketing. When can you start?
Yeah sure
Aye it just hit half a mill
Oof
Half of them will be me
just watching this makes my lungs hurt
7:00 and 12:07 the reason why i clicked on this video
Hell yeah
When he’s got that solo literally so high that it would kill dogs
agreed
Thanks for this!!! 🔥🔥 nice hanging out with you this past weekend!
more like waiting 45 min at Steak N Shake to order lololol
ThatWasSexyPit hahaa you're right 😂😂😂 still fun nonetheless. We definitely waited at least 1:15 for our food 😂😂😂
Wasn't my idea!!!! :p
Man you weren't kidding, you guys really are a bunch of bffs
DCIaddict2601 U The Best !!!!!!!!
I just love the opener hit so much
J p prove it by changing your profile pic from Crown
OUR PRAYERS WERE ANSWERED GOOD GOD THIS IS AMAZING
Spencer_DY_RODD you sayin everything this channel posts isn’t amazing?
ThatWasSexyPit lol no this is just 8837473929374729 times better than everything else😂😂
you know it's good when the actual DCI show has higher notes than online parody shows lol
ThatWasSexyPit go on musescore and look at the DCI shows people have written, and in those the lead trumpet part almost never goes as high as the BD leads this year (especially Javier)
Xavier Donavan Derwitz HS Marching Band y'all needa get your ears checked, they're the same notes in the same octaves lol
First year in hs marching band thought it was a lot of work. Then I got into watching DCI (which is crazy awesome) and saw how much they practiced and competed! It's insane! LOVE THE BLUE DEVILS!!!
Yes, finally! We will miss you on the field Javier!
Javier is one of the most lead trumpet players in the history of DCI! My inspirations are Scott Dean and Javier. I hope to meet one of those guys before die! Love you Javier! Best wishes from Brazil 🇧🇷
Going to miss you Javier! Such an honor for me and my boys to meet you Finals night. Hopefully they didn't ruin your Cuban that they stepped on haha - you are such a special player! Thanks again - this show was special to us Alumni!
Javier is one of the best trumpet players I've ever seen
"Hewwwlll yea"
I love that he uses a casual 3C Mouthpiece and not a super streched out one and still can play very good.
Absolutely can’t get enough of this. The pure energy from the staff as well as everything else gives me goosebumps every time
12:13 is truly the most beautiful thing I have ever heard ❤️💘
Haven't watched a blue devils show since 2011
You sir just made me a fan again!
I've never clicked a video so fast
I marched competitively in high school (Lake Orion, MI if anyone's curious) and it was really some of the best times of my life; its so great to watch a video taken from the view of the marcher!
9:24
When you win DCI
I absolutely love the chords from 10:20 - 10:50
10:11 is what I live for
3:45 this man just felt the power of what he just played.
i could watch that bit at 11:18 all day long 😂
When I heard those insanely high stabs live I was like damn.. So jealous of their range and skill
Cameron C less jealousy, more practice
The range isn’t always the thing to be jealous of
This is why I love Marching bands and indoor percussion, its so clean and organized
3:39 flight of the bees my friend
This was fun to watch. Great show and BD definitely had the best soloists by far this year.
I wish things like this existed in Europe. I genuinely doubt there’s enough high school age brass players in the whole of Ireland to even make up one of those teams. Mad jealous. Mad respect.
*Edit* not to mention lead players who can play that well!! What a tank!
I am in awe of this man. This was absolutely incredible! BRAVO!!!! 👏🏼
Badassery! Amazing player. Love these horn cams. Brings back so many memories and feelings of being on the field myself. Thank you for that. Enjoy and savor every moment!
So smooth. Can’t imagine how high that toe pull is.
Im a tenor sax player in a highschool band i just gotta say marching band is fun IF you put in effort and time its also a good way to get credits if you can play
I watch multiple videos of this performance and everytime, I almost cry lol it’s so beautiful :,)
Jesus that sounds so clean and the high notes, double G i can barely hit the B above the staff
As an ex french horn player, this is the best sound i've ever heard in years.
The trumpet high notes gave me literal chills
44 thumbs down? How is that possible? Jealous they can't pull off a dubba A! Javier is boss and did the family proud!
....i thought for marching band you just had to stand around like i knew there was like competition for marching band or something like that but i didnt know it was this holy wow😳😦
Every time I hear 2:28 I get chills. I just absolutely love it.
this video has inspired me over the course of band class. thank you!!
Glad to see I'm not the only one whose head vibrates uncontrollably when hitting a crazy high note
That’s actually incredible! Well done to everyone👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Great job! Excellent control, range, and power. Plus, all that running around. Congrats to you and the entire BD org. You deserved it. Saw your run at Nats. Was there reliving DCI glory in SCV Alumni Corps. Man, you guys rocked!
I have watched this a hundred times from his point of view, and it keeps getting better.
3 years later, and i still come back to this video. top 3 favorites
as a trumpet player i am so excited to watch this video
I wish there was a trombone cam but man, I just heard about DCI and all that from my marching band, I'm a freshman and boy I have to say, I love marching even better now... this is great!!!
GRM JeremiahFrog SAME! But I'm a sophomore. Enjoy your first year bro
If you main trombone you have to switch to a different instrument because finding a corp that makes you play the whole time with a trombone is non existent, most corps just have trombones in maybe 1 or two parts of the song.
Same
10:39 when the show designers want to stroke themselves
Don’t you just love 10:56 love the bass sm
the little "sup baby" at 12:01 has my heart
i’m literally in love with this
so glad it finally hit a mil 🤩
I am in tenth grade right now in my first year of marching. This looks so much harder then what I am doing. You guys rock!
Brandon Foley Cause it’s professional marching band.
Man, watching this makes we want to go back to high school band so much.
Awesome show sometimes you think you know who's the best in the world but then another group comes along that blows your mind and all you think you know is scrambled and reorganized to something else.
MY INSPIRATION 💙 Gee hopefully one day I'll be this good and be a BD soloist🎺💕
I stood next to him at system blue in katy texas and honestly an absolutely incredible guy :)
I found this extremely interesting to watch because I'm in pit and haven't marched! This was so exciting to watch!!
10:51
Honestly the best part
10:10 i think this is the best part i like😍
I played trumpet. 6th grade all the way thru high school.....I wish I had even a quarter of this talent to hit those above staff notes.....beautiful trumpet. Love the silver trumpets.
how are they all perfectly in step with each other
By far one one of my favourite shows
2018 and still loving this show😆just waiting for June 22 to go see the 2018 show in Clovis CA:)
Waited since 2015 for this
And thanks ThatWasSexyPit...... your vid's never disappoint. Not sure how you pulled off Javier doing this.... he was firm this year that he wouldn't do a GoPro lol
Aug.19,2020. This is where quarantine brought me. And I will never regret it.
Dude, I wish I could hit those notes that you're snacking.
Wish you and your group good health dude.
4:41 tho🤤🤤🤤😉
Bro I'mma tell you the same thing I tell everyone else's practice anything is possible you dumb idiots no matter how hard it's possible just practice
Post a video of you scaling up the highest octave written for trumpet. Remake this and then that’s valid. Practice isn’t everything
I saw the title for this video and definitely had a stroke, parents looked at me weird 😂😂
I find it cool how many people there are actually performing. I’m from Australia in a pretty small school and there’s only about 5 people who can play an instrument in my year
I am amazed. The complexity of the marching and body is on a total different level. Not even including the astounding playing.
*And everyone out there watching can’t understand the pain in ones heels after marching*
10:01 the guy on the left with the go pro has some amazing sunburn.
Holy mother of god, that was incredible!!
