The kind of musicality and overall musical expression in performance that this group learns is unparalleled by any other. Marching activities are notorious for only teaching the technical aspect of music performance but that is totally untrue for this group. Really, really amazing.
"Marching activities are notorious for only teaching the technical aspect of music performance but that is totally untrue for this group." That's a gross generalization.
Great to see Vanguard doing the music from the stage once again. Going back to ones roots can be a rewarding experience both for the musicians and the viewers. Wonderful playing by a group of wonderful young people! Now that amplification is possible in drum and bugle corps, why not use celeste for the "collette" theme? It would add a mode of theatrical integrity relative to scoring.
Their NightBEAt show was amazing! 4th place is impressive considering the top three dominating corps. their pit is definitely really special, the frosting of the cake for this year's show.
It's refreshing to see Vanguard being Vanguard. No need for the drumline to be dancing back there every 10 measures or doing a bunch of drill. Just playing (mostly) clean and with musicality. Great work for being so early in the summer.
I realize that but where else are you boing to put the pit? The marimbas, chimes, bells, xylophones, etc. need to be down front. If you put them anywhere else, nobody is going to be able to heare them

Vanguard always has my favorite book in DCI since Rennick went there in 2011. Its so great and i love it.
I am so exited to have these guys visit my high school this year
Wow...just rediscovered this...this was in JUNE?!?!
I could fan girl all day over SCV this is perfect
That is an INCREDIBLY clean percussion section. Bravo!
love the program this year. it has an old school Vanguard feel to it that is your essence of innovation and style.
This is beautiful. Thanks Ms. Fischer.
The BEST god damn front ensemble I have ever heard in my life. Holy shit.
The bass line at 6:47! WOW
7:11 my favorite part on marimba
My favorite show this year by my favorite corps! Such amazing music! Beat BD this year guys!
Love the way those snares sound!!!!
I don't get how people can dislike videos like this... Did you have a bad experience with Les Mis as a child or something?
Great to see you guys, really great year - - bring it!
Wonderful! An Incredible Percussion Score! Bravo!
Thanks Much! :-)
Like I've posted in other vids, it's just not fair to be this clean, this early! Great job guys!!
Its interesting being able to recognize a lot of this music
Great Les Miserablés percussion arrangement.
Hey Paul Rennick...love your work here! :)
I love seeing people smile when they play
This is just amazing.
When you realize this was in June... holy
I love watching this go front ensemble!
Favorite for 2013. Hell yeah vanguard.

So good!!!

The Pit Is Pure GREATNESS
Speechless...
what just happened!? OMG this is a beautiful show and it sounds amazing! the red machine is coming!
Their NightBEAt show was amazing! 4th place is impressive considering the top three dominating corps. their pit is definitely really special, the frosting of the cake for this year's show.
Ok, I'm convinced. Having a good death glare is probably part of the audition material for the cymbal line..
I just love the book so much.. Not that it's technically incredible or anything, but it's so musical.
Every marching band/drum core had to have had Les Mis as a show or a excerpt of it in their show. It's just like a law of the universe.
I am so proud of my son Tai Tenisi
The front ensemble is so impressive. Can't stop watching from 3:25-4:15
It's a Zildjian Crash Cymbal holder, Dynasty does make one though
Man...I love Rennick's books
It's so weird not seeing Dan on a Paul Rennick drumline after all these years.
I know the third/middle bass player, he was the bass tech for our high school's marching band
really well done
That marimba player tho! He's s'cute!
Perfeito demais.. #scv ^^
unreal.... and still a month to go! 😜
Some say they are still full runthrough-ing to this day
Paul Rennick, you are a god.
OMG A LES MIS SHOW!!?? I HAVE NEVER HEARD ONE OF THESE BEFORE!!!!!
Also, check out 1989 Cadets.
is that neil patrick harris on marimba?!
This snare line is dastardly.
Tenors in the background at 7:58! haha! i miss this!
Awesome ✌️
what song is that at 1:42?
The pit sounds great
do they have the same lead drum instructor as last year?
Rope drums would have been nice to lead into the closing number. It would have added an authentic tonal contrast. Just a thought.
Anyone know what the show this year is called?
Kind of a weird question. What is that cymbal mount thing on the side of the marimba field frame? Is that a dynasty product??
so many fucking suspended cymbal rolls holy shit thats awesome.
Nice timpani playing!
is there a vanguard yell in this show? it didnt seem like there's a spot for it yet again..??
Yes it is. True story.
This was my dream in Highschool. All I ever wanted was to join scv.... but then I joined the Airforce :/
Nice recovery at 8:02
I didn't catch it
RETURN OF MARIMBA GIRL?!?!?
Sick closer!
Who is that marimba player that we see the most ?
Edouard Beyens
ah, the keyboard percussion at 8:25...the sound of innocence.
5:00 check out the cymbal player at the back insane!
Go Jonz!!!
That's what I thought, I heard Do You Hear the People Sing, I just wasn't positive because Crusaders also used that in their opener in 2011.
Great mallet parts.
That hug at 9:12 was epic.
Nice
How old is that marimba player? She looks 12
I suppose you're talkng about the blonde girl? She aged out in 2014
+George Bush wow lol, and yes I was.
+George Bush I see you on all of these videos, I'm glad you support drum corps and SCV percussion Mr. President :)
+Ernesto Aguirre Vanguard all the way.
Did anyone’s cool showed this?
Me: **Raises hand**
75% cymbals 20% snares 5% everything else 0.1% timpani
paul rennick does it again.
BTW, DAT BASS TUNING. :3
i know the 2nd quad player from the left
would you like a cookie?
ThePtowndrummr would you like to stfu
drumcorpsboy1 nice

This comment aged well

Bergerault seems to be treating them a bit better than Adams.
Their cymbals are so ripped, they p
2:24 awk
My god I BD is shit compared to these guys, my all favorite. Paul keep doin watcha doin mayn
The pit is just too overpowering these days, they really need to dial it down a bit or put them somewhere else on the field
If the pit is this big, the band must be huge. Besides, there's no where else to put the pit.
Jean McDowell
the ones in the back are the ones who march with the band
I realize that but where else are you boing to put the pit? The marimbas, chimes, bells, xylophones, etc. need to be down front. If you put them anywhere else, nobody is going to be able to heare them
Erm no. The pit is just fine. Pretty sure they are balanced with the band.
Oh when did you hear the full ensemble to make that conclusion?
look at mr sammons @snaredude10
It's just a coincidence.
