The DCI announcer needs a raise. Also, Rach star is one of those shows that I discovered early as a DCI fan and it really drew me into Crown. The opening hit is considered to be one of the best opening hits ever by Carolina Crown.
This was the first video my high school band director showed the incoming freshman who were thinking about joining our marching band. It’s still one of my favorites but I can’t lie I think cavaliers 2014 is still my #1
I still remember getting that first wall of brass at the beginning of their show when I saw it live mid-season. It was like a physical impact that I felt in my gut.
The girl without sunglasses in your thumbnail is Heather Graham, a color guard icon. She's become one of the best in the business. She's also the girl whom you reacted to at 2:09 😂 Perhaps you could react to WGI world guards. I'll recommend it on your website.
Courtney is precious. She gets it. She is moved by our activity and her reactions are pure and priceless. We need to bring her here and experience live drumcorp.
This show was from the year that Tuscaloosa, Alabama got hit by an F5 tornado in April. During the summer, when Crown was touring, they did a benefit concert in Tuscaloosa where they played this show, standing still...inside a gym. That hornline melted everyone's face off.
You're correct in relating Crown to amazing hornlines. They are often thought of having one of the best in the activity and constantly rank among the top three, much of the time being in first. I hope to march at least one year of crown before I age out :)
AHHH I'm so glad someone guaranteed Rachstar (pronounced "Rock-Star") I had just rediscovered this show recently and am just obsessed with the music, and the opening hit, Paint it Black, and the crazy closer. Just all around an incredibly fun show. Also got me giddy because my senior year in high school ('04) we did ELP's Concerto and always love hearing a better version of music i've done, lol. I've been hoping for you to watch this show just for then ending alone and totally made my night that you reacted about as i expected. and yes those forms were the rocker hand and a guitar. I hope you can get to the recommendations that I've recently sent, going a little off course but i think you'll really love seeing the Blast! performances :)
You're welcome lol (I was the one who guaranteed it) I actually requested 1995 Scouts, but Courtney told me that it was already requested, so I kind of got a "two-fer" deal I guess lol
I LOVE the opening hit to this show... it's hard to go wrong with Bohemian Rhapsody. The flag work in Paint it Black at 5:51 is so cool but you can't see it here :(
Did anyone see the color guard rifleman do a 50-yard cross field rifle toss to a color guard member on the backside fifty yd line doing a split... that was amazing 😀😀😀
I was there on the 50 yard line front and center. Watching this online doesn’t do it justice. The sound hits you in the chest it’s so full and loud. It’s something you need to experience in person some day!
Oh, I've definitely mentioned it in the comments several times. Relentless is one of my favorite shows. I'm sure someone will suggest it eventually. Not really a good version of it on youtube... gotta have that finals ending! The only decent recording I've seen is on Daily Motion.
Actually, it isn't. It should be (corps name) THEN the opening hit. If Brandt steps on the opening hit, he's too late....he did it in 2014 with BD as well. 2014 Bloo is how it's supposed to be done. That's the risk if announcing during a "running start."
@@oh9900 Actually, yes. I've had this same argument on a YT vid about this exact announcement...made the same statement, and was backed up by Ryan Turner, who's been announcing shows for a couple of decades now. The simple fact is, I am right.
sam signorelli there is no right or wrong tho. You like how it sounds one way and other people like it a different way. Yes if the show was different it wouldn’t have matched but in this case i think the timing was right where it needed to be and had he said ‘Carolina crown’ before the hit it wouldn’t have been as strong. Anyways you’re entitled to your opinion
Rach Star>The Beat My Heart Skip. Come at me 😂. Im a BD fan btw, but I just never really liked the whole 2011 show. Ofc i liked the opener and the closer, but the whole show wasnt that big of a deal for me. This show did that though and thats why i think Rach Star was better then The Beat My Heart Skipped
2011 in general had so many great shows. The big thing i remember for BD: BMHS and reason why i think Courtney would love it, is the "Say a little prayer for you" and they're having the hip thrust moment of the show (cause BD) but also the mallets are just going at it, and i know she loves things like that.
Bluecoats were very underrated in 2011 as well. But I feel BD had a great show all the way through. Visually and conceptually there were some flaws in this show in my opinion. But the opener and the closer were outstanding.
This show wasn’t designed to win a championship. It was designed to ensure those kids had the time of their lives every time they performed that show whether in rehearsal or on tour. The energy of this show was just infectious. There was rarely a time when the crowd wasn’t engaged with this show. Also that opening hit was THE opening hit Crown has ever done.
MISS COURTNEY TERRY MITCHELL FROM ALEXANDRIA INDIANA ABOUT THE 40 MI NORTHEAST OF INDIANAPOLIS WHERE THE FINALS ARE HELD ROCK R A C H IS IN REFERENCE TO RACHMANINOFF THE RUSSIAN COMPOSER AND A COUPLE OF HIS PIECES THEY TOOK AND MIXED IN WITH BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY BY QUEEN TO CREATE THIS FUN ROCK AND ROLL TYPE SHOW SO THAT'S WHERE THEY CAME UP WITH INSTEAD OF R O C K STAR R A C H STAR BASED ON THE MUSIC OF THE RUSSIAN COMPOSER RACHMANINOFF.
Heather Graham is a Goddess 😍😍😍 she is the color guard performer in your thumbnail! This guard is so amazing, you should react to Boston Crusaders 2019 or 2018!!!
Was great to see you react to this, I thought you would like it. Don't sweat the mispronunciation of the title. I should have told you how to pronounce it in my request. My bad.
Digging your reactions👍 You should react to Bob Brown highlights and Tombstone Jackson. Brown once tore down a goal post with his bare hands and I feel like Jackson’s nickname says it all😂 Either way keep up the channel 👍👍
Rach is short for Rachmaninoff, a composer. So it's pronounced "rock" and a play on words. Incorporating some of Rachmaninoff's pieces and iconic Rock music.
You should react to one of Navy SEAL marcus luttrel's speaches on operation redwing some are longer but those are the best ones to listen to bone chilling but inspiring.
This isn't quite the same style as that but you should also check out ua-cam.com/video/_pe6r06EIz0/v-deo.html as well as other vids by Top Secret drum line.
For any other corps this show would be cheesy, for Carolina Crown every member buys in 1000% and they perform it so well. This show is absolutely amazing. BD fans don't @ me
Everyone and their sister knows BD wouldn’t touch this source material with a ten-foot pole, or if they did it would be basically unrecognizable. That’s part of what makes drum corps so great.
The DCI announcer needs a raise.
Also, Rach star is one of those shows that I discovered early as a DCI fan and it really drew me into Crown. The opening hit is considered to be one of the best opening hits ever by Carolina Crown.
That opening hit gives me chills Every. Single. TIME, I love it
@@nolanbuck9206 Me too. It's on the list of my favorite hits, along with SCV 2018, and a few other Crown shows such as Crown 2017.
It’s prob their most recognized. Although 2012’s opener 👀
Yeah, but 2016 has to be the best one ever.
This was the first video my high school band director showed the incoming freshman who were thinking about joining our marching band. It’s still one of my favorites but I can’t lie I think cavaliers 2014 is still my #1
Crown 👑❤️🔥
A wild Antonio Cabrera has appeared! :O
Euph Asta natural habitat 😂
Yoooo Antonio! Love your vids keep up the great work!
of all time, still most underrated player of anything (also Let It Go Screamer still slaps you this day)
She's recognizing the Crown set now!

Heather’s guard work is epic - the choreography she did for Virtual’s guard blew my mind!

“This is so loud in my ears guys”
The first impact of the show: “you haven’t even heard the half of it”
Random guy: 'PLAY SOMETHING' Carolina Crown" Well you asked!
" Your wish is my command. It's time for your eardrums to *perish.* "
Hey Courtney, I started watching these videos when I was deployed! Thanks for always choosing great content!!! Rach Star is 10/10!
@@jeffgray7922 Thanks dude! This was by far one of my favorite shows of all time.
Can we take a second to appreciate that 86% of this show was pep tunes and the other 14 was transitions between pep tunes
sometimes i wish i could go back in time and watch the rach star opening hit for the first time again
WOW THAT HORN LINE AMAZING
Carolina Crown is consistently one of the best hornlines in DCI right now. They’ve won numerous brass caption awards in recent year
I've watched this show so many times. But this time, I was able to watch with something new feeling with you. Thank you for the good channel!!
This is the show I've been waiting for. Thank you!
False endings are always fun. 88 BD's ending was pretty sweet as well. Love RACH STAR! Great show.
Yes! Love that 88' Blue Devils ending with them marching off to the reprise of "Since I fell for you". Good stuff!
Nice to hear that '88 BD show is still remembered. I aged out BD that year. We had a blast even though we lost in finals.
God's Horn Line Went wild this performance. I was lucky enough to see it live several times this season. This is my favorite run of them all.

This was an amazing show!!!
Yes!! CROWN!!! Time to Rach n’ Roll!!
I LOVE the opening hit to this show... it's hard to go wrong with Bohemian Rhapsody. The flag work in Paint it Black at 5:51 is so cool but you can't see it here :(
Such an incredibly fun show to watch
Did anyone see the color guard rifleman do a 50-yard cross field rifle toss to a color guard member on the backside fifty yd line doing a split... that was amazing 😀😀😀
Also, it always kills me to see that dude at 11:12 do that back spin right above the 40 next to the stage props. So awesome!
I was there on the 50 yard line front and center. Watching this online doesn’t do it justice. The sound hits you in the chest it’s so full and loud. It’s something you need to experience in person some day!
yesss i can only imagine what its like being there in real person. im trying to go in 2022 ❤️
I marched that year in a different group and got to watch this performance at finals. Seeing it live is an overwhelming experience!
What a cool place N.Z. must be. When you get a 2 week quarantine they let you bring a friend. ;))
I marched for Crown in 97 and 03 and I just love how what we do translates across cultural and geographic boundaries.
I’m surprised no one has suggested Relentless yet
Oh, I've definitely mentioned it in the comments several times.
Relentless is one of my favorite shows. I'm sure someone will suggest it eventually.
Not really a good version of it on youtube... gotta have that finals ending!
The only decent recording I've seen is on Daily Motion.
Duncan Chestnut yes the Daily Motion one is great! I wish someone seeing this that can request it will do so.
Relentless 2016 and Inferno 2015
Inferno***
I said it many times too
Yesss!!!!! Great reaction. More crown videos. We love them.
This was the first and only Carolina crown show I saw live in Virginia.
They were so damn loud this year, you love to hear it
Can we talk about how smooth that drum major spun around at 12:56?
Yes, Queen as the opener.
"The conductor leader person" is called the 'drum major.'
Also, Rach Star is my favorite show of all time.
The person she was referring to the guy crowd surfing, he was synth in front ensemble not the drum major
some of the best color guard educators were in this show
the timing is so perfect, "Carolina Crown!"
Actually, it isn't. It should be (corps name) THEN the opening hit. If Brandt steps on the opening hit, he's too late....he did it in 2014 with BD as well.
2014 Bloo is how it's supposed to be done.
That's the risk if announcing during a "running start."
sam signorelli nah

Have you had the opportunity to go to Finals live??? Definitely need to check out their warm ups and see the perfomances at the stadiums
that cutoff at the beginning is so chilling
“I know this song” well I would hope so😂
To be fair some people hadn't grown up listening to Queen. For example, I hadn't even heard of Bohemian Rhapsody until I saw Crown.
Courtney! I LIVE for your DCI reactions! LLLIIIIVVVEEEE!
omg yes, one of my favorites!!!

Do Carolina Crown 2012 next, the best hornline ever, besides 2013
And 2016
And 2017
@@dcmmedia99 2019
Insert current year Crown hornline every year.
Carolina Crown Inferno!!
Anyone else remember 95 phantom doing that chart from the 1st movement? :)
Also, I want to but that Crown hammer lol 😂

Anyone know the link to the video she is using

Boston crusaders 2018!!!!
^ THIS!!!!
RACHmaninov ROCKS. Great show.
Lol someone was trying to sleep on the bed the whole time (their hand gets in the video around 13:31 )
Man.. she needs to react to Carolina Crown 2018 Beast..
Edit: OMG SHE SAW MY COMMENT 😄
Best DCI opening ever
I love Crown and have been following them since 2002 but that’s hardly the best opener ever.
Its up there but for me phantom regiment 2003 is mine
MarkB that’s a good one. Saw that show at finals.
@@mikewallace3705 I am jealous
Thats what got me into dci when I saw a vid of it in 2010
Wish I saw it live. fell in love right away
Was great to see you react to this, I thought you would like it. Don't sweat the mispronunciation of the title. I should have told you how to pronounce it in my request. My bad.
I just now noticed the Aerosmith Wings after the second Crown set
Now I know two epic things from 2011, this and Skyrim.
still waiting for relentless and FtCG reaction
Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes
Digging your reactions👍
You should react to Bob Brown highlights and Tombstone Jackson.
Brown once tore down a goal post with his bare hands and I feel like Jackson’s nickname says it all😂
Either way keep up the channel 👍👍
The only thing I hate about this DCI recording, is that they don't show the entire pre-show. That pre-show was soooo much fun.
LETS GOOOOOO
Rach is short for Rachmaninoff, a composer. So it's pronounced "rock" and a play on words. Incorporating some of Rachmaninoff's pieces and iconic Rock music.
Courtney has anyone recommended 2011 cadets yet? If not I will request it :)
I have too. Still waiting....
Good God please! I’ve been waiting for this one. I’m surprised no one has recommended it yet
I emailed her waiting for response
I asked if anyone did a guarantee request and if not i will do it :)
"organized chaos" indeed but such greatness!! / / you are tops! as well...
dis girls reactions are what my brain does but i cover it up
Please do the Cadets between Angels and Demons!
Yes and Cadets 2002. The post nine eleven show combined with the WWII theme. It kinda like military meets drum corps.
i vote that you and your fiance react to a drum corps show together
Nossa que quarto baguncado kkkkkkkkk
CAROLINA CROWN 2012 PLEASE
Crown 2016
Long story short, my high school kinda ripped off this show last year but it compares nothing to that power chord in Bohemian Rhapsody
You should react to one of Navy SEAL marcus luttrel's speaches on operation redwing some are longer but those are the best ones to listen to bone chilling but inspiring.
I saw the thumbnail and just stopped by to comment real quick-like, but it bothers me when people do this 🤟🏻 when the context calls for this 🤘🏻
HI Courtney! Please watch Santa Clara Vanguard 1992 Fiddler on the Roof. it inspired my freshman year show, my favorite. Thank you!
This one didn't score well but it was a GREAT show. One of my all-time favorites.
