you NEED to react to the Blue Devils 2017 Highcam its a trumpet and brass fanfare
hey man. i’m new to your channel but i love the fact that your reacting to an activity i love. i’m a music student myself but i also have some DCI experience. love to give you some insight on the history of the activity and what to look for when you watching these shows and understanding the difference between this style and the style you are used to. also have great ideas for shows you can react to and get access to.
Boston Crusaders 2022
If someone has said this already my bad but DCI has auditions/camps once a month from Nov through April, then they got spring training starting sometime in May until early to mid June, then tour from then til early August. And days they don't have shows are normally about 10 hour rehearsal days if not longer. & you can only be in a DCI corps until your 21 or 22 depending on birthday
to understand the theme you have to have some understanding of what "bablylon" in about most of it is from soundtracks.s
Dude no,, he constantly hit that high note ALL SUMMER LONG it was f*ing crazy
Dude, hearing in headphones is one thing, but to hear this live is UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!
Must see shows....
Carolina Crown 2013
Phantom Regiment 2008
The Cavaliers 2002
Blue Devils 2017
Bluecoats 2016
All first place shows
That Spartacus show made me fall in love with DCI
Perfect list! Phantom 08 and bluecoats 16 are MUCH WATCHES
@@kklassact3449same. I remember listening to it for the first time. Insane chills that I still get today
84 Cadets
Not a top placer but 2016 Academy is gorgeous
6:18 the drum corps season goes from late june to early august but the auditon processs starts in the november/december and then they start rehearsing in the spring april/may
Actually corps begin rehearsals in October or November of the year prior to the upcoming competition season
@byrongreene8983 really? corps usually begin auditions November and usually world class ends around April camp then open and all age end around may camps. During certian audition camps they give you music to practice
@@byrongreene8983hello? That’s the audition process
If we're talking about iconic dci shows, Tilt absolutely must be on the list. Incredibly innovative show and is a super cool watch
I'd pay money just to see his reaction to the last minute of that show.
15 was substantially more innovative than 14 was
YO!! The last 45 seconds of "Tilt" makes your hair stand up!! (and i'm bald)
@@Davis.smith.weightlifting While I generally disagree, I *do* agree he should watch Tilt followed by Kinetic Noise, because 15 certainly was just as innovative as 14
@@TheTeamIsSHaRPdon’t say that
The show is about the tower of Babel. So in the beginning, you have the main stage breaking up, representing the tower unable to be built due to people not understanding each other. From there you hear the different languages playing and all of the music gets frantic. When the soloists start in the middle, it has two contrasting ideas that start to combine, showing how people are starting to understand each other. From then on, it’s just very “uplifting” I guess and they people can now build the tower together again.
One of the best descriptions of this show I have seen and pretty spot on.
The first pieces played are "Journey to the centre of the earth" and "metropolis 1927" by peter graham. You can also probably assume how this ties in. The ballad is "my body is a cage" by peter gabriel, neat stuff.
Dci is a summer thing and it happens every summer!
I really appreciate the questions throughout the video. To touch on the dedication of these groups coming from someone who is in the activity, these members practice very very hard. Auditions are held in December and January for a full three-day weekend in each month. After the audition camps, there are callback camps in February, march and April where all of the members are finalized and given their contracts. After the callback camps is when the fun really begins. Somewhere during May, depending on the corps, all the contracted members and staff meet at a college or high school where they spend the next full month rehearsing together. A day of rehearsal generally consists of three 4-hour block. The morning block is from 8-12, the afternoon block is 1-5pm and the night block is 6-10pm. This schedule is upheld for the entirety of the month-long rehearsal. After the move in time period is when the corps go on tour, traveling through dozens of states while competing and refining their show as they go. Finally, in late august, all the corps from across the nation meet up in Indianapolis for the DCI Finals, which is where this video was filmed. Finals are a three-day long competition in which there are three rounds. All the corps compete on the first day and the top 28 make it to the next day. On day two, the remaining corps compete again. This time, only the top 12 groups move on to the final day. On the third day, the top 12 groups compete in finals.
Hope this has been informative. I really enjoy talking about this topic so if you have any more questions don't hesitate to ask.
P.S. I would suggest checking out Winter Guard International, it is a similar activity to DCI but in a basketball gym with only percussion.
That’s pretty dope! Thanks for the information 💯💪🏾
WGI also has Winds circuits! The Winds groups are very cool too! stryke wynds this year was dope for example
@@OfficialRogersBros If you do watch a WGI show, I would suggest Pulse percussion 2017 or Infinity percussion 23, or 24
Thanks for taking the time to put this together. Your perspective is appreciated. I think you will understand why I drove 10 hours to catch this show live. A lot of people drove much further than that to see it.
They did soooo friggin good, omg. The musicianship is top tier. I'd love to experience them live. Much respect 🫡
His music when he's talking with the audience is almost the same music in the dance section of the Vanguard show
That beat drop was dope.
Tragic they took down the multicam. The camerawork on the ballad hit different.
If this is the route......How in the hell can we leave out Carolina Crowns inferno show
FOR REAL definitely a one of if not my favorite shows of all time so solid good in every caption
Bet
That ballad always makes me cry. Every single time.
Whoever has the video of crown 2015 pls send it to him 😭 just so good all around brass visual gaurd and percussion
Carolina Crown 2013 is considered by many to be one of the greatest DCI show of all time. The precision in all phases of the show is incredible. I think Bluecoats 2019 (Beatles show) was one of the most enjoyable from a pure entertainment perspective. So many of the shows in 2021 were entertaining to watch, Cavalier, Madison Scouts, Phantom Regiment. Going old school, 1995 Madison Scouts has more of that loud/dirty brass sound if you like Latin music.
Madison Scouts 1995 is so good!!! One of my favorites
This is my favorite DCI show! Just amazing, no matter how many times I see it. Enjoyed your reaction!
You need to watch more
@@omariparker3769 I've watched plenty for over 20 years, thanks. This one happens to be my favorite.
@@omariparker3769 I'm quite versed in DCI shows even dating back and there are so many iconic shows that are still iconic, but as soon as Babylon dropped it hit #1 for me for favorite show
SCV 2018 is one of my favorite shows ever!!! I would definitely recommend go seeing DCI in person this summer 🔥
Just made a request to do the 95 Madison Scouts, another DCI group with a phenomenal iconic show. Won’t be the cleanest thing you’ll ever hear, but it will be worth every second!
Thanks bro! I can’t wait to see the show🙏🏾💯
Yea Madison Scouts from 95-97 was just brassy and powerful 🔥 Loved that sound
@@A1MediaBands I marched 96 as a lead sop (trumpet). Great show. Loved marching it. Not the best Madison ever offered, if I’m being completely honest.
95 Madison is old school but wow! What an awesome example of performance and entertainment!
The talent level to be a member of Santa Clara Vanguard or any other top drum corps is above questions! Been a fan for 41 years!
Loved the video! Super honest and in the moment without fake hype.
I’m so happy u said that because that’s what I strive to do. I’ve seen people react to videos that’s obviously staged and I don’t see the point in doing that. Thank you 🙏🏾 💯
former DCI here, we’ve got about 3 months to learn our music and practice the show. most cases may-july with finals early august
You’re reaction @11:12 to the trumpet… the astonishment 😂😂 I felt the same way
Lol 😂
Same. My mouth was already agape from the company front, but I had to pick my jaw off the floor with the trumpet high note.
The 2nd Coming Of Christ @ 14:26
👏IS
👏 EVERY
👏THING
Those Mellophones are soul piercing!!
So drum corps is mainly during the summertime. At least that's when tour is. There is spring training/move ins at the beginning of the summer and then the corps go on the road cleaning. perfecting, and playing shows all across the country until eventually world championship in Indianapolis. You should go to a show this summer! Truly life changing!
As a trumpet player, you’d enjoy Bluecoats 2016 without a doubt
gotta react to carolina crown 2013. the only show to ever get a perfect brass score.
Babylon is such a great show
I did this activity for 8 years in the mid 90’s and I’m still amazed at what these kids can do.
I appreciate you for really experiencing and understanding just how impressive these performers are. Genuinely you have such great reactions because you have such a strong appreciation for the music and performance.
the actual season is typically around June-August, but they start working on music over the winter and start drill in the spring
You should watch Carolina Crown 2018 (Beast). It’s a pretty cool theme and it’s the show that got me interested in dci and drumline. Also Bluecoats tilt, Bluecoats downside up, and Bluedevils 2017 are certified hood classics.
oh i been waiting for this 🙏🙏
🙏🏾💯
The show that revolutionized DCI was THE BLUECOATS 'Downside up'. That's a show you really must see!
this show was about the tower of babel story from the bible :)
super awesome to see your perspective on DCI. as someone who marched with Bluecoats, i loved watching your reaction because i know you can appreciate the technicality and difficulty of the stuff they are doing on the field. Keep it up dog 🔥
Love these videos bro keep em coming!! 💪🏾
Will do!!💯
this one gonna pop off
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I'm enjoying n your reaction very much. Thank you.
Thanks, I really appreciate you. 🙏🏾
This show is crazy I remember watching it years ago in 2018 I still remember it. Top 5 changing shows for me.
This whole show is one giant mello feature.
I went to a PWI and was in the marching band all 4 years. We had a lot of people who marched DCI during the summer. A lot of PWI marching bands and even the top high school bands have adopted the DCI style
I appreciate that Santa Clara Vanguard for truly staying true to the orginial musical piece in this. I use to listen to the piece imagining a drum corp playing it on the field. Anyway, man, you have to check out a live show this summer. The Corps are currently in spring training getting ready for the summer DCI tour which starts in June.
Audition season is typically Oct-Dec. Then typically they have a few weekends in the winter before reporting to camp around mid-May for a competition/ concert tour that runs mid-June through August (ends with DCI Championships each year typically held in Indianapolis, IN at Lucas Oil Stadium for world class.)
DCI season timeline
November/December: are when the first auditions are then a few months later is callbacks
April: once members are contracted there is spring training which is usually over a weekend
May: this is when most drum corps move in usually in the 20ths area
Then there’s camp for three weeks at wherever the corps training is located
After those three weeks they go on tour all the way till early August.
🔥💯
Hey I love the reactions! The season starts late may and goes till early August (8-10 of august are the finals competitions), and instead of saying “this band” most say this corps (pronounced core or cores) please keep reacting! Much love!!
Welcome to the world of drum corps fam. It’s a rabbit hole
Summer time. Auditions and camps start in November with Weekend camps scattered throughout the spring. They report to camp first of June and hit the road for tour in late June early July. Finals are usually in late August.
My brother done went down the DCI Rabbit Hole. Very Unique, talented musicians, and memorable shows. Good addition to the channel. They’ll be back in season soon too for 2024.
the DCI shows you should react to are Blue Devils 2017, Blue Coats 2014, and Carolina Crown 2013. Additionally, there are some excellent BOA bands which are High School bands that sound like a drum corps. It would amazing if you reacted to Hebron High School's 2021, 2022, and 2023 shows; you can't really go bad with any of their shows!
Musicianship is on point
Auditions start in November. There are usually a camp for brass once a month after that. Percussion and guard join in usually for April (because of WGI). But your usually sent the music and practice in your own outside of the monthly rehearsals. You “move in” in May and have 4ish weeks of just rehearsal then you go on tour in mid June. Then Finals take place in early August.
I believe they meet for practice 1-2 weekends during the spring, then when summer hits, you will have all day and into the evening rehearsals both outside on the field working drill, inside working music, sectionals working music by sections, and then putting it altogether. They will have 16-18 hour days of rehearsal. Then you have the travel to the different competitions around the region and country. What you're watching is the "Championship" competition in Indianapolis, that's held towards the end of August.
Audition in winter. Rehearsal from beginning of spring until August. Competition starts in June.
They travel across the the United States and compete like once or twice a week. And it leads to the championship at the end of summer. It’s extremely competitive and you’ll hear some of the most in tune bands at these comps.
I’m so glad you got on DCI…I’m huge swac band fan. But I be at the dci competitions in the summer!!!! The sound in person is ridiculous.
Dawg you gotta hit up Hebron High School 2021. Don't even question the fact that it's a high school and just watch it. Make sure its the multicam from the state championships recorded by BOX5 too and not just something a parent recorded. Insane talent, especially if you like brass, and just a fye show all round 🙏🤞
I actually have been planning on checking some high schools out for sure 💯
Dci is a summer activity and starts its camps early in the season to help members learn show music and get physically fit! I love HBCU bands for what they are, but man hearing the clarity and tuning of a drum corp show in person feels like you are being lifted to heaven as their sound carries you out of this world from how loud they are. The level of skill and precision these musicians have take countless amount of hours to practice and perfect all while running around the field out of breath. If you're talking about shows you want to watch crown 2013 is a MUST watch show as they scored a perfect score on finals night or cadets 2011 because it has some great drill.
You asked how much time is required to perfect the show, as some people have mentioned already, auditions typically start in November/December. There are camps between January-April where they typically start learning music and learning how to march to a specific corps’ style, they also start conditioning their bodies for the physical demand of it.
In May, all of these kids move into where ever the corps is, Santa Clara Vanguard in Cali (some people fly across the country to start off with their corps). Other notable corps have their spring training/summer move-in in Ohio, South Carolina, Illinois. Then, from May-August, these kids are rehearsing 5-7 days a week, sometimes over 12 hours a day. They sweat together, shower together, sleep on busses and gym floors for their entire summer perfecting their show (and having performances for local communities along the way) as they tour around the US. most competitions are towards the east and Mideast. It all ends at dci world champs the first weekend of august, where there is prelims, semi finals, and finals.
if you go back into the mid to late 90's Madison Scouts, you'll get a screamer every damn movement, and it's wild. '95 and 96 are the best ones.
This is gonna sound dumb probably, but I almost feel like I can still taste the metal/brass from hearing this hornline at the Massilon, OH show that year...was so loud and metallic.
My type of show lol
typical preseason tryouts start in December, camps become consistent and longer around March, with a typical practice day being 3, 4 hour blocks. Then there's move-ins in April or May tour is from June - August usually mid august.
Yes, there are a number of positions that open for "audition," the rest are filled with the past members who "earned" a permanent spot until they age out at 21.
You think this is crazy? Try Hebron High School 2021. I know it is probably a lot of work to make these reaction videos, and I am not asking you to do anything crazy, but just watch the first minute of their 2021 show and I guarantee you will be blown away. the 2 shows that usually knock people's socks off are SCV 2018 and Hebron 2021. If you do decide to watch it, just think, there are 14-year-olds on that field creating this incredible sound. one more thing, drum corps is not an activity that is friendly to beginners, I heard your questions during the video, and it is very hard to find answers as someone who doesn't know where to look. If you manage to find answers, it will create even more questions. so just enjoy. Thanks for reading this.
Seconded Hebron 2021 from a pure talent perspective. Broken Arrow 2021 was fye in terms of show design that year but if there's any one corps style high school show from recent history it's absolutely Hebron. Knocks your head off how that monster was produced right after covid year by teenagers 🔥🔥
I used to go to DCI competitions all the time! The performance season is basically the summer, but they hold auditions in the winter if I remember correctly. If you can go to one in person, its definitely worth it!
since you like Trumpets soloist . You should check out Blue Devils 2017 also.. The trumpet feature and the soloist that year were Sooo good ..
Then look back and check madison scouts from 1995 and 96 .. Just alot of old school drum corps too. bridgeman, BD madison scouts.. From the 80's and 90's
This is so cool to watch as a dci fan
Very well done
Bro I did corp style before I got to FSU in high school. So my BD put us on all these DCI shit! Maaaan the musicality is CRAAAAZY!! The dynamics 😱😱😱
😮💨😮💨😮💨
A drum season is over the summer, so a span of 3 months in total.
Don't miss the horn snap before the big hit in the ballad!
You asked about what the timeline is like. I marched Blue Stars back in 2007 and 2008 so this is what our year would look like but it's pretty standard across all DCI. Audition camps would start in November. A typical camp will start Friday evening and end Sunday evening. Camps would be once a month. Typically after the December camp, the corps would be set with maybe a couple more spots getting filled along the way. Monthly camps would continue through April. We would learn all of the music. Visually, the focus would be more on just learning the technique. If weather was nice enough then we would be able to learn the first few pages of drill at the April camp. In mid-late May we would have move-ins where for 3-4 weeks we would rehearse all day, everyday to learn the show. About the second or third week of June we would start traveling to competitions. We'd have 4-5 shows a week in different cities across the country try. A show day would consist of rehearsal all day and the the show that night. After the showed we'd head to the next stop. Finals week would be the second weekend of August.
3-4 weeks for all-days?? Holy moly! When I marched Spirit of Atlanta in 2000, our move-in was I think June 8th and our first show which was a home show was on the 23rd so we had only a 2 week all-days. Not sure if length of all-days is any correlation of placing top 12 or not, but we didn't make finals and you guys placed 8th in 2008, right? To be fair, we were really lucky to have toured at all in 2000.
Amount of rehearsal time would certainly have some impact. Pretty sure it was 3 weeks of move-ins in Indiana before spending a week outside of LaCrosse, WI before setting out on tour. We did the same both years and were 14th on 07. Spirit beat us by 2 spots that year.
@@boilerdawg that's wild. Making top 12 had have felt amazing. Yeah 07 was one of the years that JSU was taking care of Spirit which is where all-days had been held since at least 1999. I didn't march my age out year which would have been 2001 as I intended to march Cadets that year but couldn't come up with the money. It'll always make me sad they had to fold. I'm gonna miss that corps.
Yeah it was amazing! By that point though we had known for a while that were were in so it was all business. A few weeks earlier at either San Antonio or Atlanta, we had gotten through the afternoon prelim and made it into the main show that night. I think at that point we were in 9th or 10th. That was when it hit us. Our Executive Director, who had been with the corps in some capacity or another for decades, gave us our pre-show pep talk which he never did and could barely get through it because of the tears. From that point on it was "OK we're in! Now let's see what kind of noise we can make!" There were some moments leading up to Bloomington that it felt like we might have a shot at Bluecoats or SCV for 7th or even 6th. Ultimately they both hit another gear that week and pulled away from us, but we did the same and cleared BK in 9th by 2 points! I'm sorry you didn't get the chance to march Cadets that year. Glad you got the opportunity with Spirit though!
Most corps are moving in for spring training this weekend.
New subscriber! Going into memorial day weekend, it would be appropriate to react to DCI Cadets 2002.
2011 Madison Scouts (she is New York Morning)
11:30 the coolest thing is that the trumpet screamer goes even higher (very high G) in the 2019 show
Its about time
Lol I recorded it the same day that I recorded the blue Devil show but I had to give y’all a little suspense. Lol Thanks for the support.
Crown 2013 some of the best drill and brass dci has ever seen
A typical season is 3 months and 6 months if you march in the winter
Hope someone explained this show. Post apocalyptic society where no one can speak. When horns hit first hit in opening it’s them screaming since they can’t speak. Think of each instrument as a group of people. Trumpets yelling at mellophones, tubas yelling at baritone etc. just chaos. Second song is each group trying to communicate with another but goes wrong. Third song drums try to communicate and fight. Fourth song ballad is where two baritone’s figure out how to communicate and you hear a click (light bulb ) goes off and everyone finally plays same sone tone finally able to communicate. Then the dance party to celebrate. Then tubas try to hyjack and take control but the rest of group doesn’t allow it and the two dancers that were separated in very beginning finally get back together in a society that can now speak and be on same song. Very emotional at end when they come back together.
Legend has it the mellophones are still holding that note....
Lmao 🤣
Yes, it is still circling the ceiling of Lucas Oil, even during football season.
The season for drum corps basically starts in June as far as competition and end in August. That’s not including practice.
2002 Cavaliers, 2003 Blue Devils and 2008 Phantom Regiment
Bro Carolina Crown E=MC^2 absolutely stunning show
I loving listening to his reactions , , what they trying to do to me ..
Santa Clara vanguard 2008 need to check it out
I just watched that for the first time cause of you, and I'm so happy I did. It easily became one of my favorites.
You should totally watch 2019 Blue Devils - Ghost light. It is my favorite DCI show so far and I would really like to share it with you so you could experience it too.
During the ballet, bro Kissed the hell out of that note.
2004 Santa Clara Vanguard, 2008 Phantom Regement,
You should check out Blue Devils 2017 it's considered one of the best in modern drum corp history
If you liked that screamer the following year scv 2019 that screamer goes even crazier
Phantom regiment 2008 was the tide for dci shows honestly for what you see today. I auditioned for a call back but it’s only for the hottest summer months and they pay like 2k to participate but dci for brass and auxiliary is the best it gets outside of summer bands
Also react to Hebron high school 2021… best high school marching band… Texas bands don’t mess around 🔥
Nice
also the fact that some of the people that do this are in high school is crazy to me
You gotta check out Cavaliers 2010. Most people say they should've won that year.
mandarins 2023 sinnerman was pretty cool
Check out Carolina crown 2019!
You should watch some indoor winds shows, LSM Winds 2024 played carnival of venice!
Summer
I went to a high school like this and ended up at an HBCU. Talk about a mean culture shock lol.
Lol yup
