Honestly me too, it gives me chills every time and that first few big chords make me feel emotional, but it’ll never be the same as when I first listened to it
Carolina emerged from nowhere some recent years ago; the assumption is that this director contributed to that. Carolina’s tuning up sequence is remarkable; the most impressive chorale I’ve heard. Terd rat adolescents will then lob hateful, diminishing comments; threatened by anything of quality not involving them.

I have tons of respect for all those kids that are in marching bands. All the work they have to put in. Playing and listening while walking forward, backwards and sideways. Sadly all those dumb jocks get more recognition.
@@toomanyjstoomanyrs1705 This comment and all of these comments mean a lot to me as a marching band kid. My band is like my family and the band room is my second home. We all take pride in wearing our uniforms and marching out on the field together. Being a marching band kid is something else for all that we do, but the family you create and the experience you get out of it is absolutely amazing
These comments deserve so many likes, as a highschool band kid myself, the main insult people throw at me is "stfu you're in band" it means a lot to me that there's really people who support bands and love music as much as we do
I asked my director if we could try this warm up, chorale and all. He said yes, and I was stoked. A week later I got the music in, and we played it. Of course it was rough the first few times, but today before our parade I got to conduct it, and it sounded super super sick! I hope we keep playing this warmip
It’s such a great feeling.💯💯💯 When I marched Bluecoats I remember we had one cutoff at a certain practice field that you could hear the wall of sound ricochet off the mountains in the distance about 2-3 seconds after the cutoff. Sorry to ramble but I remember that same season with Blooo we had to march a parade in Massachusetts I believe , that went by some frat houses. All the drunk college kids were cheering for a little marching band they thought. Drum major stopped us in front of the house. We turned to face them and blasted them with the wall of sound. All their faces melted, It was such close proximity. 😂😂😂
At roughly 1:01, the middle voices (at this point, the highest voice) do a major third over the bass, and there are virtually no beats, which means they're pushing that third down a good 16 cents. WOW. HUGE sound, nearly perfect intonation. The perfect prescription for goosebumps? Some killer DCI brass.
@@M.A.J.H it's referring to the difference in the notes when comparing how in or out of tune the horns are. Say two horn players are playing middle C, which is roughly 262hz. One horn is a little sharp, at 266hz, the other is slightly flat at say 259hz. This is close enough that you will hear a "wave" or "beat" in the sound these two horns create. As they get closer to each other as they tune their instrument, the "wave" will slow down until they reach the frequency of 262hz, middle C.
@@lukewatson1636 because you’re simplifying how clean they are by saying “just stop when he puts his arms down” This shows you clearly have never done this or realize that a crowd of people all just going by when he drops his arms would still be all over the place. They need to have some sort of internal count as well for these to be as clean as they are
@@JTD472 the last thing you said “they need to have some sort of internal count” shows me you have never marched. None of them are counting for a whole note. Even if you are counting doesnt tell you when to cut off in these warmups. The DRUM MAJOR does. You dont know what you’re talking about. Move along kid
Bro just imagine hearing this in person, I remember hearing genesis play for my school, and I was amazed, it felt like my soul left my body, imagine what the cavaliers or blue devils sound like in person
Bro, I'm in absolute tears. Ever since I quit marching band to pursue engineering, I have missed the absolute heart and dedication that these people exude so powerfully through music. Every person on that pad is there putting every ounce of effort they have into perfecting their routines. Even though hearing this through youtube through headphones will be nowhere near the experience of hearing it in person, it still has me bawling hearing such a beautiful sound. Hell, this is a warm up and it's got me in tears. Massive respect to everyone putting their lives into music as good as this. You're literally giving people the ability to experience pure, unbridled emotion through the sheer power of music.
Dude I am in the same position, quit my junior year of highschool and still miss all the fun times and playing music. Me and a couple other buddies now play guitar in a band we’re trying to get rolling but damn do I miss this stuff!!!!
You can do both. I started playing trumpet at the age of 10…have been playing ever since, even with the Cavaliers in 2004, what a year! I’m a mechanical engineer, but music has always been and will continue to be my passion and drive in life. Good luck! Never too late to pick it back up 🎺 🔥
Sad thing is... Most musicians will never experience a conductor with such amazing vision. This man is changing lives. I hope he is an inspiration to all who learn from him
I'm taking nothing from this clearly amazing educator, but there are amazing educators all over the world, inspiring young lives and old. You just need to look.
@@JAutry Yeah I march for Plainfield High School, and Avon is our neighbor to the north. We always marvel at how amazing they are and how lucky they are to have Matt Harloff on their team. When we do competitions against them, their isn’t really much competition because it’s always Avon and Carmel fighting up in the top while the rest of us are left below.
Kempsville High School, Virginia Beach, VA, 1995 (Freshman year). William E. Pease was the Director of Bands and the visionary behind the award-winning Marching Chiefs. The guy was hard on me, as he was all of us. I couldn't catch a break and I was a terrible musician. He rode my back all year long and saw something I didn't know was there. Before leaving the school at the end of my first year of high school, Mr. Pease transferred me to percussion. I'm a drummer to this day. The lessons this tyrant of a genius shared will be with me for the rest of my life. As for Mr. Pease? He went on to be known as Dr. Bill Pease, Director of Bands at the University of Virginia.
As a drum set and drumline player, I literally never learned how to read or understand music scales fully, only drum stuff. But something about a big marching horn line fills me with such joy and I can't understand why.
I play drums but also mainly mallets and my parents and my sister play horn and trumpet so I can read all of this and I know how hard it is to play this good
I have played trombone for 32 years...the sound of the brass is something that brings joy to whomever it wishes. Ya don't gotta read it. There isn't much like it.
because they rely a lot on easy-to-tune open Bb5 chords that are perceived as louder than clusters or full-value chords because there's no tonal interference by other notes in the chord.
+Bruhh resonance is related to aligning the overtone series and intonation. The harmonic series allows the sound waves to be perceived louder. Interference does the opposite, and decreases the overall amplitude and perceived loudness.
I'm glad I'm not the only director who jumps up and down, swings their arms viciously and gruntyells at their kids. Some of my rehearsal recordings are pretty savage. Though teach strings now, my energy and passion from years teaching high school and drum corps is still very much alive. I was so happy to find this today.
@DECLAN DOUGAN In the days before B-flat and amplification came to pass, to be called a 'band' was considered an egregious insult. I'm sure that makes me a DCI dinosaur, but whatever.
I have come back to this video every so often for 6 years now. Every time I need a reminder for why I became a musician and when I need reminding that life is beautiful.
I have looked several times for a video that makes me feel the same way and brings the same energy and cannot find one. As a member of my high school marching band this is why I do music and band is for this feeling. And what I want to do for the rest of my life.
My band director played this through the speaker and I really almostgot emotional just from how overwhelmingly beautiful and epic this is, I would love to hear this for the first time again
1,000 of these views is just me coming back to watch it again, and again over the last six years. It still fires me up. I’m going to go run through a wall now.
suazobomber - Emotion? Technique, training, and time! Emotion is the LEAST of it. (It's like what the great pianist Vladimir Horowitz said about talent: "Yes, I believe in talent -- and I find the more I practice, the more talented I get!") 😸
Intensity of the volume is not emotion. This is so bad ass and amazing and jaw dropping! It's just loud louder and loudest. Real emotion comes with the artistic liberties taken by both the conductor and the ensemble. There's nothing like this here. It's exactly what is printed on the page which is loud louder and loudest. This is pure intensity. Not emotion.
I remember back when this came out. I was in 8th grade just scrolling around on TH-cam and this popped up and I never heard of DCI before so I had no clue what I was about to get myself into. When I heard them do the second space chords and they got a little bit louder I was like “dang they are loud”. Little did I know that they would just absolutely drop the hammer, it left me speechless. And ever since then I’ve been in love with DCI.
My high school marching band does this warmup, my band director literally stalks Carolina Crown and has been stealing their warmups and practice techniques for years lol
What I love is how they focus on the ensemble. Crown rarely has crazy solo squealers and such. It's always focusing on making the individual fit the section which fits the ensemble. That's why they're the best
Oh my lord. He yelled yes because it deserved it. He was drawing a straight line with his hand because that is what the tuner was doing. That gave me chills and was an awesome experience.
I plugged in my headphones Turned my browser to 100% volume Turned TH-cam volume to 100% Turned PC volume to 100% Added 12 dB boost to volume Took 10 steps away from my headphones And witnessed sound waves distorting the air around it as I went deaf simultaneously, I'm pretty sure I also saw into the future when that happened. If we played this using concert grade speakers, just imagine the destruction that would ensue.
honestly, I would love to see crowns drum major like that........however..............this dudes ego is second to none. The warm ups in the parking lot are great, however..............their show is unrecognizable to the paying public............you walk away wondering what the hell it was they were playing.............talent....YES....................but you wouldn't be able to hum that shit after you hear it.............EGO of the instructors for sure (lets make things as difficult as we can, as long as were happy with it, screw the audience mentality)................how I wish Hy Dreitzer, Larry Kerchner, and the Bob Bunces of the world were still around
Wtf did I just read. Crown staff are all kinds of approachable and friendly. I know plenty of people who have Little Fugue in G and part of the closer stuck in their head for days after a performance.
@@Mrtellitlikeitis what on Earth are you prattling on about? I watched this show for the first time at Finals and had Little Fugue in G minor stuck in my head for months
Jakob Shelton in my opinion neither is better than the other i love both drum cores with all of me yea scv had way more emotion and thats something crown can get better at in some of their pieces but i look up to both to do better in my playing you feel?
I marched '97-'03 with the Kiwanis Kavaliers before the amplification. I could never really get into the shows pre 90s. Too far into the 80s and it starts to get really really repetitive for me. One the of loudest hornlines I've ever heard was BD '98. They were louder playing backfield than some of the corps playing front. One of the most impressive things I've heard was SCVs hornline singing Adagio for Strings in warmup before finals in 2000(singing through their ballad). They were spot on. Overtones were crazy.
Good checking damn, never thought a warmup routine could bring me close to tears. As a clarinet player this brings me joy that not only can everyone be heard but also their tone is unmatched and unwavering. On my way to a ball game rn with the rest and I’m about to suggest this to my brass section as a warmup lol
I love how another hornline in the background resolves their chord faintly at the end. 2:25 They are literally bowing to CC's brassline. Edit: Haha! It was the Bluecoats warming up in the background! Thanks @Kenneth Schechter!
Well, it’s technically not a resolution, it’s a Picardy third. But yah that’s cool, I didn’t notice until I saw your comment! No doubt the other core heard it even from that far away.
I will NEVER forget the energy, the wind pressure, the sheer force of every chord and what it feels like to stand/sit in the middle of a brassline circle during these exercises 😮💨😮💨😮💨😮💨😮💨😮💨😮💨😮💨😮💨😮💨😮💨😮💨😮💨😮💨😮💨😮💨😮💨 you literally feel the music, it’s insane 🔥
Brandon Dye Actually, the Chicago Symphony brass section alone is the most powerful thing in the universe. Listen to Mars. 3 trombone overpower the entire orchestra.
Idk if you were ever in band, but plugging your ears actually helps hear the actual tone of the instruments. It gets rid of the extra noise so it’s easier to tell if someone if out of tune. I doubt anyone here is tho...
As some one who has zero musical talent in them and zero knowledge of anything music, I was really lost and then when it “dropped” I was amazed by how cool that sounded.
I love the way Crown shares his love for music. The reason I love Crown is because they are the best at showing emotion through playing. And it shows when they win the best hornline award every year.
Does anyone else get really emotional after hearing this? I’m not an emotional guy whatsoever, but every time I find this video and listen to it I get teary eyed
And they come in waves after. I was describing this video to my brother (very poorly I might add) and as I was reaching the end I was getting chills just thinking about it! Incredible.
I've listened to this almost 50 times on repeat it's so cool!!!!! I'm so exited that my new band director is having the horns play this!! (I'm a drummer)
Me: Wow... This is pretty good. They're really awesome at fitting into each other's sound and- 2:05 HOLY COW THEY WERE PLAYING MEZZO PIANO! 2:09 ... Angels have trumpets right? Can they play this when I get to the other side?
1:53 is when it changes to mp, then to mf at 2:05. At least, that's how I hear it. There's just enough of a dynamics shift at 1:53 to warrant a change IMO
@@prettysakurafl0wer ridiculous. Literally tear jerking and gave me goosebumps. I routinely listen to this now, to cheer up or get rid of anything stressful.
When the director punched through the air to signal that glissando, it reminded me of Dave Chappelle doing the Howard Dean bit where he yells “Byaaaaaaaaaah!” I love this video!
Jon Williams I mean, you get get all technical about it, but they're still plugging their ears because it's so fucking loud they can't hear shit otherwise
Peter mercil Well let me explain the science. Your ears act as drums. Meaning they vibrate when sound happens. If there is something loud, for instance a marching band, it vibrates to a certain extent that you just can't hear clarity in articulation, tone, or tuning. When you plug your ears, your adding pressure to stop the vibration, allowing the back of your ears to absorb the minor details they're looking for. Katie and Evan Vandoren have been with crown for years, I'm pretty certain they're not plugging their ears because it hurts them
At first I was like, "Yo, these are some PRECISE scales." Then I was like, "Yo... My ears are being raped by every imaginable tone in the audible spectrum..." But in then end, I was like, "OH, THERE WAS A METHOD TO THE MADNESS!"
i listen to music at a relatively loud volume to be able to hear all of the detail and tiny things. the first time i listened to this i thought "oh this is about to sound INSANE" so i raised the volume just a hair, NOTHING could have prepared me for the sheer volume that hit me, and it was amazing

My friend and I were standing in front of Bloo maybe 100 yards away and when Crown hit it, you couldn't even hear the Bluecoats.. amazing
Especially impressive given how loud the bluecoats themselves are.

I would've been terrified
I would've just died then and there.

When your band is so good that your tuning exercise is a performance in itself

Man I miss being in band. We used to pride ourselves on just creating a big wall of sound, but this is next level. Goosebumps
Ah yes, I too remember the day I lost my beloved ear drums. A glorious day as this was the tune that took them from me. And I am forever grateful.
Yeah. I wouldn't be too sad not hearing anything after this.
What was it like being in the middle of all that? Just curious.

I have looked several times for a video that makes me feel the same way and brings the same energy and cannot find one. As a member of my high school marching band this is why I do music and band is for this feeling. And what I want to do for the rest of my life.
I have listened to this at least 50 times and still get goosebumps every time.
I was looking for someone else to say this.

oh hi claire
So much emotion through so many young players...breathtaking.
suazobomber - Emotion? Technique, training, and time! Emotion is the LEAST of it.
(It's like what the great pianist Vladimir Horowitz said about talent: "Yes, I believe in talent -- and I find the more I practice, the more talented I get!") 😸
kind of missed the point their Ian
Ian Shields If you don't love it, you aren't going to do your very best at it. That's where emotion comes into play.
There is a difference between playing and performing lmao
Intensity of the volume is not emotion. This is so bad ass and amazing and jaw dropping! It's just loud louder and loudest. Real emotion comes with the artistic liberties taken by both the conductor and the ensemble. There's nothing like this here. It's exactly what is printed on the page which is loud louder and loudest. This is pure intensity. Not emotion.
I remember back when this came out. I was in 8th grade just scrolling around on TH-cam and this popped up and I never heard of DCI before so I had no clue what I was about to get myself into. When I heard them do the second space chords and they got a little bit louder I was like “dang they are loud”. Little did I know that they would just absolutely drop the hammer, it left me speechless. And ever since then I’ve been in love with DCI.
My high school marching band does this warmup, my band director literally stalks Carolina Crown and has been stealing their warmups and practice techniques for years lol
Sameeee
My director as well
Jmaz Zee what’s the name of this warm up?
Kyd Cj drop the hammer
I wish ours did that
Even as a battery member...crown's hornline is what makes them my favorite corps of all time.
What I love is how they focus on the ensemble. Crown rarely has crazy solo squealers and such. It's always focusing on making the individual fit the section which fits the ensemble. That's why they're the best
What's really shocking is that Crown DOES have screamer parts, they are just used within the entirety of the band, making it even more impressive.
Matt Mansour I totally agree. I'm in an NBA drumline and I get shit because I love Crown :p

Added 12 dB boost to volume
Took 10 steps away from my headphones
And witnessed sound waves distorting the air around it as I went deaf simultaneously,

Wtf did I just read. Crown staff are all kinds of approachable and friendly. I know plenty of people who have Little Fugue in G and part of the closer stuck in their head for days after a performance.
You get back what you put in... clearly.
Marcus Jones bit much don't you think?
@@Mrtellitlikeitis what on Earth are you prattling on about? I watched this show for the first time at Finals and had Little Fugue in G minor stuck in my head for months
Insanity. Their mellophones are louder than whole other hornlines in DCI.
Carolina Crown might have the best hot line, but the mellophones at SCV are Papí
Corry Knight i play mello and absolutely look up to crowns mello and volume and intensity like omlll i love the mello part in this entire thing
Jakob Shelton in my opinion neither is better than the other i love both drum cores with all of me yea scv had way more emotion and thats something crown can get better at in some of their pieces but i look up to both to do better in my playing you feel?
Check out some of the mello lines in the 90s, particularly Cadets and Star of Indiana. You won't be disappointed.
I marched '97-'03 with the Kiwanis Kavaliers before the amplification. I could never really get into the shows pre 90s. Too far into the 80s and it starts to get really really repetitive for me. One the of loudest hornlines I've ever heard was BD '98. They were louder playing backfield than some of the corps playing front. One of the most impressive things I've heard was SCVs hornline singing Adagio for Strings in warmup before finals in 2000(singing through their ballad). They were spot on. Overtones were crazy.
Good checking damn, never thought a warmup routine could bring me close to tears. As a clarinet player this brings me joy that not only can everyone be heard but also their tone is unmatched and unwavering. On my way to a ball game rn with the rest and I’m about to suggest this to my brass section as a warmup lol
Damn. I’m no horn player, but this just made my hair stand up.
My leg hairs can off ....
Neither am I (I'm a saxophonist), but this is godlike.
Asmr like tingles.
Yessssssssss I am percussion an I am quaking

May we all be as passionate about our own projects as he is.
Amen.
I love how another hornline in the background resolves their chord faintly at the end.
2:25
They are literally bowing to CC's brassline.
Edit: Haha! It was the Bluecoats warming up in the background! Thanks @Kenneth Schechter!

@@spencrmusic yeah it is, here's the bluecoat's perspective

Well, it’s technically not a resolution, it’s a Picardy third. But yah that’s cool, I didn’t notice until I saw your comment! No doubt the other core heard it even from that far away.
@@loganpintor Yes, that sneaky Picardy third, even if it is faint!

It doesn't matter how many times i watch this it gives me chills every single time. I've been coming back to this video for years now.
2:05 this is just what I imagine the world ending would sound like
Wholemanatee I feel you on this one
Like what, a Bb minor chord? (I hear a Db at the end, so maybe that too?) Nice that you imagine the world ending on a high note 🤭
And what an end it would be
Someone should edit that part into the ending of Scarface after he dies
I find it absurd that there was light clapping after feeling the hand of god.
Imagine having to plug your ears because the sound is so powerful....just wow. 2:12
They’re literally cowering.
We can hear this mans primal screech tho
Idk if you were ever in band, but plugging your ears actually helps hear the actual tone of the instruments. It gets rid of the extra noise so it’s easier to tell if someone if out of tune. I doubt anyone here is tho...
Plus it’s basically the sound of an air horn in every direction
@Ryandal Gilmore lol man i wasnt trying to be i was just saying something interesting and something that maybe others dont know about
As some one who has zero musical talent in them and zero knowledge of anything music, I was really lost and then when it “dropped” I was amazed by how cool that sounded.
Absolutely amazing the ending was so strong and you could tell the players and the conductor were all so proud to be in that line
Wow. Tears from that one. That was AMAZING.
1dude2cats same here , I marched in 08 and this took me there and back like bro
Listen to this with headphones on full volume. It will touch your soul.
JonezBB It touched me in places that I didn't even know existed.
My ears were raped good... porn to my ears
oh hell no i have beats and they loud af
It touched my balls.
JonezBB and did. Good lord...
I love the way Crown shares his love for music. The reason I love Crown is because they are the best at showing emotion through playing. And it shows when they win the best hornline award every year.
As a tenor drums, tuba, and trombone player, it genuinely makes me emotional whenever either section does something so powerful.
Does anyone else get really emotional after hearing this? I’m not an emotional guy whatsoever, but every time I find this video and listen to it I get teary eyed
yes i haven’t cried in like the last three years but listening to this my throat starts to light tighten up ya know
dude those chords are so powerful. a true musician feels the emotion in the music so don’t feel alone
You aren't the only one that hits the preface of tears in this hit. I've given up fighting it and let the waterworks flow.
This gets me too. You're not the only one.
There's a reason cathedrals had massive pipe organs. The frequencies provide healing. The tight throat and watery eyes are your body releasing tension

I found this is the fastest way to get my 2 yr old’s attention. Skip right to 2:10.
When the director punched through the air to signal that glissando, it reminded me of Dave Chappelle doing the Howard Dean bit where he yells “Byaaaaaaaaaah!” I love this video!
“Better pray I don’t drop this shit”
"I got a tax policy that will break yer neck. BYAH! Got you all in check."

you can tell he’s really proud of them , I love that.
I love his Intesity, and I love how the people in the middle have to plug their ears😂
magoo salazar You can hear the pitch better xD, and specific instruments better.
Jon Williams I mean, you get get all technical about it, but they're still plugging their ears because it's so fucking loud they can't hear shit otherwise
Peter mercil Well let me explain the science. Your ears act as drums. Meaning they vibrate when sound happens. If there is something loud, for instance a marching band, it vibrates to a certain extent that you just can't hear clarity in articulation, tone, or tuning. When you plug your ears, your adding pressure to stop the vibration, allowing the back of your ears to absorb the minor details they're looking for. Katie and Evan Vandoren have been with crown for years, I'm pretty certain they're not plugging their ears because it hurts them
Lumberjack sorry lol im a percussionist, wouldnt know about that
