@ben-vg1xxAny given night. Vanguard won hands, BD won comp, and BD won drums by a tenth. Romo knows what he’s doing with his numbers. I doubt anybody will have undefeated seasons in drums anymore; there is just such great depth of elite designers, educators, and performers at the top these days.
Loved the writing in this. I've heard some different styles this year and this strikes me as the most musical of all the books I've heard so far. Basses sound great especially and normally I'm more of a snare guy. I think the cymbal line adds a lot to it as well.
Seems like a basic book to me. Lots of rolls, tap 5s, paradiddlediddles, 3s and buzz rolls. Because of that they will be really clean but with a book like that it should be clean.
@@Salamitommy-d5mconsidering people say this about SCV's book every single year despite the fact that their content scores indicate otherwise and that they have won the majority of the Sanfords awarded in the last ten years, which do you think is more likely: A) You and a bunch of other people are unable to recognize the demand, or B) all of the percussion judges in DCI know less than you do and consistently make the same mistake of letting these easy books win? Content aside, they achieve a level of blend and musicality that even other top lines can't touch most years. That alone makes them remarkable, even if the content were easy. And it is most certainly not - these are really, really hard beats. They just make it look easy. I challenge you to upload a video of you playing this "basic book". I don't think you are going to do it.
@@DennisJohnsonDrummer- That ain’t sweetening the deal. 👎🏻 This whole de-uniforming trend has just trashed so much beautiful identity and mystique that these corps used to have. They’ve all become just generic random kids, mugging individually in hip-hop pajamas at this point. It’s sad, because there’s so much quality work going on otherwise. This line would look fabulous in the actual SCV uniforms, and the awesome classic Aussie hats.
@@ikshields just FYI, you're saying this NOT as someone who grew up around this change, i grew up before and after, and I'm currently teaching the next gen who's growing up in, the wake of a massive drum corps revolution so I felt and I still see first hand how kids now view the "mysticism" of drum corps. these performers are still if not MORE looked up to by these kids. now you can see the face of the center from the line you want to march, and you can follow their tour on social media, you can even get lessons with a lot of them. that's sick as hell for teens aspiring to be performers, and if you're not able to accept that then cool that's fine, but this activity isn't for you anymore. Keep watching the old stuff, it still exists. instead you cloud up spaces that really aren't meant for you anymore quite frankly.
FInally, a video that show a lot of the Cymbal line. A lot of videos dont show them, but they are the coolest. And SCV is famous for their Cymbal line.
I heard it too. I think it's just Rennick's writing style tbh. Some other writers have done and will continue to do the same thing. ScoJo tends to reuse the same starting lick for his snare/tenor breaks. McNutt special (all that needs to be said)
Was trying to find Vanguard asset management but somehow im on some random "drum line". Someone want to explain what this random sporadic bits of music is all about? And why are they all dancing like ballerinas?
Is it me or is the writing a little different I’m not saying I don’t like it I love this book already it just seems more musical than before and has more Fire to it
You mean you don’t like washed-out audio from over modulated cymbal crashes? Just kidding. In all seriousness, I got to their lot a little bit late and there was already a massive crowd in front of the snares and quads. That positioning was the clearest shot of the whole battery I could get. I would rather trade a slight dip in audio quality to get the clearest picture I can.
I have always wanted to like SCV’s battery, but never really liked SCV’s battery. I think it’s honestly a tuning and cymbals thing. Coming from a background in bass, I feel like I can never hear their splits as well as I’d like, and (to me) it doesn’t sound as satisfying as it should, given how clean they are. I can’t get over the sound of the tuning not being appealing to me, and the cymbals being so sonically dominant over the sound of the battery (cymbal players, you’re badass and I respect you, I just don’t care for the sound in a battery). I wonder what they would sound like if they switched drums with another top line and played the same music… Not trying to hate, just trying to talk about tuning and the actual timbre of marching percussion. I completely understand the hundreds of hours of dedication and perseverance it takes to end up in a top line, and I hope each of the performers is living their dream :)
None of the corps have a look anymore. They gave up all their mystique and continuity when they decided that pajamas and bare heads would appeal more to dumb teen audiences a few years ago. 😔👎🏻
@@ben_ivey I agree. I prefer musicality over density. I feel like Paul Rennick is one the only percussion arrangers who can write densely while keeping it all musical.
@@hardware_9659I love Rennick’s writing but this book just isn’t for me. Just it doesn’t feel fully there and complete. I know we are super early and it’s all subject to change but it’s not for me, yet.
Well i hope all the other lines liked having a shot at the title last year cause i think the king is back and ready to take the throne again.
BD beat them in drums last night
@@benvieira3895which is crazy cuz BD is hella dirty
@@justicedutchthe score is also about front and battery don’t forget

Of course any corp but scv will get Sanford this year… remember 22?
Rennick is still the most musical battery composer, letting each voice speak for itself, all complimenting eachother.
Jonz didn't miss a beat 😉

hi what is jonz
@@Gqwad it's sort of a nickname for the Vanguard percussion section since like the early 90s iirc, pronounced "jones" :)
@@Gqwad Evolved from "keeping up with the Joneses." SVC percussion is the Jonses.
We’ve missed this level of drumming for far too long.
Welcome back 🔴🟢
Paul with another championship book.

The red drums are so sweet🔥🔥
↑ this
center snare is an aura merchant
Damn. His writing is always fire!!
Still the epitome of a drum corps drumline .
its like they never left
The unis, the drums, the book. Just straight heat
the unis? lotta blue for a corps whose colors are red and GREEN.
@@scottwilliams6835 Have you seen the Blue Coat uniform this year? red & white

It really is great to have SCV back in the mix!
I love how they lined up by height making a wave!

I love early season videos. It’s always wild how much the lines grow and improve by finals weeks
Very Clean this early wow
woooo! this is THE line to beat this year. fantastic.
Remnick!! Glad they are back and they haven’t missed a beat!
Why they so good! Always tasty writing, and ALWAYS clean!
At 3:30, they are marching 7/8 at 240. 4 in one foot, 3 in the other.
It's more of a halftime feel at 120. Their feet are moving at 120. 240 would be nearly impossible.
@@timevaporwave240 is far from impossible
@@timevaporwave that’s what it says on the music
It’s 4 8th notes in right foot, 3 in left.
there are so so many impressive things about this but the mark time tempo is not one of them lmao
the only drumline i care about, finally returns!
I'm thrown off by the blue uniforms, given SCV's traditional color scheme.
However, those snare drums are works of art!
Welcome back, SCV! 🔥🫡
Fantastic writing. Great sounding line!
love the red drums! super cool
the return of jonz
Wow...just...wow...
🥁🏆R E N N I C K🏆🥁
They're out for blood this year for sure.
Is it me, or does 6:08 feel an awful lot like Babylon part 3? Not that that's a bad thing...
I heard it too. I think it's just Rennick's writing style tbh. Some other writers have done and will continue to do the same thing. ScoJo tends to reuse the same starting lick for his snare/tenor breaks. McNutt special (all that needs to be said)
It's all good, but that part at 2:43 . . . {chef's kiss}
THEY ARE SO BACK
For the Jonz. ✊
WE’VE BEEN WAITING!
Yikes. RIP BAC/Cavs/BD/BC. “Them young boys coming” -Charles Barkley
Hey my Jonz's!!!
Wonderful
Back with a vengeance.
JONZ!
Was trying to find Vanguard asset management but somehow im on some random "drum line". Someone want to explain what this random sporadic bits of music is all about? And why are they all dancing like ballerinas?
Back like they never left 🔥
Yuuuuup!
Seeing the Uniforms and red Drums, I am thinking "Vox Eversio - Part Deux" here. Even at 5:13 gives me those Vibes.
Is it me or is the writing a little different I’m not saying I don’t like it I love this book already it just seems more musical than before and has more Fire to it
Corp is alive SCV is back !!!!!
That visual at 1:16 just isn't the same effect without the head gear.
JONZ
OMG 6:40
@Drumline Archives - please try to position opposite the cymbals, their sound washes out much of the rest of the battery
From the perspective of a former WC cymbal player and current instructor the angle/view is appreciated. To each their own though.
You can actually hear everything ok with earbuds or headphones
You mean you don’t like washed-out audio from over modulated cymbal crashes? Just kidding. In all seriousness, I got to their lot a little bit late and there was already a massive crowd in front of the snares and quads. That positioning was the clearest shot of the whole battery I could get. I would rather trade a slight dip in audio quality to get the clearest picture I can.
@@DrumlineArchives Only love man. I'm glad you're there where I can't be, and I'm glad Rennick and Jonz are back 🙏🏻

SCV’s battery is my favorite but I see where you are coming from.
honestly with headphones i can hear basses the entire time
@@camdynmiles4433 But I think relative to other corps like Boston it’s harder to hear scv basses
Maybe if they went back to Pearl drums…
Yo. The carrier and drum colors are not the look
None of the corps have a look anymore. They gave up all their mystique and continuity when they decided that pajamas and bare heads would appeal more to dumb teen audiences a few years ago.
😔👎🏻
Clean but boring book imo. Pretty basic. Boston and bd way more demanding
That's funny, BD's parts are boring to me!
