Fun fact for you all: the marimba player right in front of the timpani’s (my dawg Skye) is the last person still marching that I marched with at STRYKE back in 2017. He was like 14 at the time…what a boss!!
Only recently have I begun to recognize how much the timpani adds to the show. I think it started with Bluecoats 2022, and now I specifically look out for timpani moments. That timpani phrase at the end is INSANE.
Front ensemble person here. the pit is overall is def very good. The book also shows the front off a lot more than many other shows. All the super choppy and feature stuff sounds great. The biggest cleanliness problems just has to do with a lot of that rubato stuff and make sure everyone is communicating and listening. stuff like at 9:18 got away from them a bit, but they recovered fast.
The tenor feature is just 🔥🔥. Reminiscent to RCCs tenor feature towards beginning of last year’s show. West Coast is killing it this season with Pulse, RCC, and Broken City. Again, all within 40 miles of each other in SoCal.
Love the dynamic here Gents. Michelob Ultra vs. Mystery Bourbon. In addition, are we just going to ignore Matt Regua with the clean ball catch at the end of the snare feature. HE STILL GOT IT.
Yea we saw that but time got away from us in terms of watching it that we decided to just hit other groups in the meantime as we wait for a newer video.

Funnily enough for me the first time I really noticed it was chino hills 2018, that front ensemble was so good
What a front ensemble!!! Great Marimba and Tympani work!

6:09 Exactly my reaction when I saw that for the first time. Absolutely my favorite moment this year.
🤝 yes!

Love how the quads have a ripple one by one from the 8” to the 6” as they turn their heads
Didn’t even see that, great catch!
Mr. Spock what did you think of your rolls? Spock says: Fascinating!
Damn they sound great! Killer beats and timp part is outstanding!
The whole show is fantastic but that closer is crazy. So much phrasing and velocity. 🤌🏼
Am I the only one who noticed the music from Harry Potter 5 department of mysteries fight scene?
Strong Battery Visuals Ending!!
You guys are the best. Thanks for the commentary and all the vids 🤘🏻🔥
I will add too. That front ensemble puts it all together, and I’d say holding their own more so than the battery. Love me some RCC. 🔥🔥

Hahaha didn’t even notice it until now
Definitely has some ‘07 vibes. Great observation
For the algorithm. ✊
How are you guys doing today
Also, I guess yall don't wanna review the X video of them on the stage? It's kind of old at this point but the drums sound good.
Yea we saw that but time got away from us in terms of watching it that we decided to just hit other groups in the meantime as we wait for a newer video.
I feel like ludwigs doesn’t have the overtones other brands have on the bottom side.
Huge Macro Deal!
How many of these kids marched BD this past season?
5 in the battery and 5 in the front ensemble!
Is that noah aungst?
I believe so.
First, HAHAHAHAHAHA
All jokes aside, I've been waiting for this video for a long time, too.
