@@I.AM.ON.MY.WAY. A lot of arrangers of corps since trombones have been introduced have been using them almost like glorified slide whistles for features and solos, or they'll have them do a little quartet or other gimmick like having 1 alto 1 tenor 1 bass 1 contrabass even though that really just isn't how trombones are meant to be used. Doug's writing always uses them for a timbre or for a different texture in a feature or background, the bass trombone basically doubles the bass line with the tubas in most of his uses to give it more edge, or its used with a full trombone section/ensemble to act as a real bass voice on its own. Essentially, Bluecoats always have a use for the bass trombone that fits in the arrangement instead of a gimmicky little moment that they spent $3000-4000 on.
2019 clearly went the hardest. Bluecoats really paved the way for writing trombone properly into shows. I look forward to great things in the future because of their work
Hadn’t seen any bluecoats horn cams from this past year yet and hearing bump from the pov of a player furthers mu belief that it is one of the hardest movements in dci history.
12:15 DANG! solid! sometimes your lips just don't cooperate with you- every brass player knows what that's like. sometimes it's hard enough to nail a standard octave pedal squarely. I have NEVER heard a trombone belt an octave lower pedal like that before. EVER. Dave Taylor would be proud :D
i take up like 2 pixels of the Bluecoats 2023 headcam! I was very fortunate to see the Bluecoats march, as most of the other marching bands before them did stand-still shows, which is because of the rain that is visible in the shot. Bluecoats was the last to perform there, too. So far that was the only DCI show I've been to, which was in Canton, Ohio.
I too was there, I was so bummed out not getting to see phantom march that night (However the iconic phantom leg pose that the tubas did at the end was memorable)
12:14 where has this beautiful sound been all my life Making me jealous as a tuba player holy hell that came out of nowhere And with no build up to it you just play it that powerfully right there? I thought you needed a contrabass trombone for that
Your moment in the beginning of that show set the pace for the rest of the show, and it delivered the same and more. Thank you for being such an important part of an amazing show
At this time, the good yamaha (which is what bluecoats are sponsored by) double trigger bass hadnt come out yet, so they used single triggers up until their 2019 show which is when the double trigger came out
@@SAP_Drums If you look closely there’s only one trigger valve so it’s not a bass trombone. Are they playing a bass trombone part? Sure. It’s just not a bass trombone so it doesn’t count. Trust me. I’m an all state bass trombone player
Shut your dog ass up, you came to a DCI trombone video just to say it isnt dci. My HSMB doesnt march trombones, so I guess that makes us a drum corps then huh?
Doug Thrower (Bluecoats arranger) proving to be the only arranger that actually knows the bass trombones role in an arrangement
Yeah hes super on top of the bass trombone game for dci
Please explain (I have only every touched drum sticks)

I disagree.
@@40wolfmarim95 I mean Doug Thrower is super good with it, where would you say he isnt good?
As a bass trombonist who marched before DCI allowed trombones, this makes me extremely jealous.

I agree, theyre amazing 😍

Youd be correct
Javis Ab chord resolution was the most In tune low note I think I’ve ever heard
Its so perfect
That last clip is one more reason Academy is one of my favorite corps. Never the best, but fun as hell and when they get it right it hits different.
academy's shows always go crazy
Bro I never realized Ben stone played the solo and bass trombone, he actually played like a 5 octave range in one show

Nothing more crispy than Pedal F on bassbone
@@NACBrass Double pedal Bb isn’t it, sounds like a chain breaking loose
@@TheRandomWolfyes! The bass bone on his right killed that double pedal b flat 😭
@@ledavey it was so unexpected I had to stand up and walk around 💀
I was like DAMN!
We need an updated video with phantom regiment and the bluecoats from this past season
@@azxtnt Soon to come im sure
As a bass bone player. Thank you
Doing you a favor! 🤝
that trumpet at the start was insane! so much sass
Realizing now how much I love bass bone
bluecoats 2019 sounds sooo rich
i remember the phantom guy's name being ben stone because he was the euph soloist in 22
Yeah!
Look, Mom! I made the iconic bass trombone moments video!
OMG HI RYAN!
Your moment in the beginning of that show set the pace for the rest of the show, and it delivered the same and more. Thank you for being such an important part of an amazing show
Can’t believe Crown 18 isn’t in this video
I might be an idiot but isnt Beast just tenor trombones playing low
@@NACBrassI’m pretty sure there’s a couple bass bones of the field
@@husky12gaming Could be, might look into that for part 2 🫢🫢🫢
garret sharp is the undisputed goat
He was a tech for our tubas this year in our high school marching band
I MADE IT🎉
HI GARRETT!!
This tickled my brain :)
I love G sharp 😱😱😱#1 fan
Yo…. Good video my friend
im in a high school marching band, and i love it, though i don,t know how to mount a go pro on my trombone, and id love to
I think it’s strapped to his forehead, not the instrument itself.
Really wish you included the bloo23 opener bass bone, the pedal is crazy
Pedal F and then Pedal D….
definitely will be featured for you in the next one boss 👍
Go BONES!!!!!
Wow wait a minute our channel names…. Wait a minute. Brother?
Seeing this made my night lol, we are one in the same
i love you
Just posting the thing everyone needs
Ben’s name is Ben Stone by the way
Make a drumset one!!!
I like how he hit that low bflat I’m guessing at 12:15
Its the F below that I think or the D below that, hard to tell
@@NACBrass it's a Bb
@@F__a__u__xno it's not it's an f
The 2023 one is our stand tune it’s called bump 😭😭
*correction, the first 2023 one
OMG ITS A STAND TUNE?
@@NACBrass yeah it’s great 😂
drive.google.com/file/d/1M6SvHfaLrQt0GTIiI_0GQlfCpTSyW4ax/view
Wouldn’t it be easier for the first guy to play C with double trigger? Or does he have a single trigger bbone? sounds great tho
At this time, the good yamaha (which is what bluecoats are sponsored by) double trigger bass hadnt come out yet, so they used single triggers up until their 2019 show which is when the double trigger came out
@@NACBrassah cool thx
Shits fire
Long time trombone players always using their finger to line up third position. Some basics never go out of style. Its like an auto-pilot reaction.
It just works, and the fact that my band director majored in bass trombone and will scold me any and every time I put my finger out
The first two videos aren’t even bass trombones
Yes they are :)
Yeah they are lol @kannonball8866
@@SAP_Drumsthey are literally just play low notes on a bass trombone it’s not an actually bass trombone if you look closely
@@kannonball8866 No.. it's a bass trombone. Trust me dude

The only epic trombone is a flattened trombone
They are just bands
They are in fact bands, amazing point
And DCI groups. The best there is!
If there are trombones, it’s NOT drum corps, it’s marching band.
