The "stanky leg" you keep seeing is called a forced arch. It's like one of the most common dance movements in drum corps and competitive marching band. They use it so much because it's really easy to while playing and doesn't mess with the upper body very much.
13:06 the drill formation is in the shape of a crown like the corps logo which is a tradition that they put into all of there shows usually at the end.
He actually used to march for WCU in the fall and had a call with the judge after the event to reminisce on the moment from both of their perspectives. Such a great video if you haven’t checked it out before.
If you've never heard Crown in person, man..... Videos don't do it justice. They are insanely loud and insanely perfect. And the difficulty of the music itself is insane. I marched Cavaliers in 2001 and 2002, and horn lines today, musically, are beyond anything we could've imagined back then. I've seen Southern, JSU, and a few others in person. No comparison to Carolina or most DCI world-class horn lines. It's not even close. Are they entertaining? Absolutely. Are they at that level of perfection? I don't think that's really their goal anyway. HBCUs are all about entertaining their crowds, and they are masters of that.
CC gets 1st place in brass almost every year. That's their identity. A lot of people have reacted to them dropping the hammer, or God's hornline. Sorry, Blue Devils. CC does it better than space cords.
5:00 That’s what I always called it too The Southern Circle the very first time I saw Southern in the early 90’s they did it and it’s been the Southern Circle ever since. I can visualize and hear Southern right now playing Never Satisfied going in and out that circle. NCAT did it too back then but SU owns that circle in my head😂
Not go lie(Easter egg stitch), idc how geeky I sound for saying this, but that part at 8:13 -16 r 17 , someone that can produce or make beats needs to take a crack at sampling it #justsaying 🔥 nice pick @rogerbros 👍🏾
@@Blackice0318 the full term for a corps is a Drum and Bugle Corps, but since they don't use actual bugles anymore they just call them drum corps. Drum Corps International is the organization that hosts these competitions
@beardedpike3881 ok i see what you saying, DCI is the governing body of the drum and bugle corp groups, so under DCI the groups are just known as Corps, not necessarily Drum Corps, makes sense....i know alot of times high stepping marching band heads normally refer to the Corps as DCI style, just to reference that style of marching and performing
@@OfficialRogersBrosMarching bands and Drum & Bugle Corps developed independently of each other with stark differences in org structure, instrumentation and performance opportunities. Marching bands are directly affiliated with schools (high school/collegiate), utilize instrumentation that loosely resembles a concert band, and primarily perform at football games - though many units participate in varying degrees of competitive marching band events throughout the Fall as well. Early Drum & Bugle Corps were largely formed by community non-profit organizations like VFW/American Legion posts and boy scout troops. These units molded their style and instrumentation to resemble military bands that utilized drums and bugles to communicate in the field. With these roots, performance precision and discipline have always been top priorities, though the activity has evolved over the decades to incorporate growing degrees of creativity and artistic innovation. Instrumentation has also steadily drifted closer to marching bands, most notably with the gradual shift from traditional bugles to the more typical 3-valved horns and the inclusion of trombones. As it stands now, the broad exclusion of woodwinds remains the single largest instrumentation difference between corps and bands. For additional context, Drum & Bugle Corps hold auditions in Nov/Dec and convene periodically for camp weekends throughout the spring before transitioning to an all-encompassing commitment around Memorial Day weekend when corps move in to begin all-day rehearsals before embarking on a 7-8 week national competitive tour in late June. These tours are massive logistical undertakings with each corps consisting of a caravan of 3+ full-size tour buses for the 150+ performers, 2 customized semi trailers (1 for instruments/uniforms/equipment & 1 traveling industrial kitchen that produces 700+ meals a day), multiple smaller trailers (additional equipment, mobile souvenir both, etc.) and vans for the instructional staff and volunteers. These fleets often travel through the night between predetermined host sites (typically high schools) where the corps will set up to sleep on gym floors and utilize the facilities to rehearse and shower before heading to their next competition or housing site. This gruelling national tour culminates at the DCI World Championships over the 2nd weekend in August; after which, corps members return to their homes and transition back into "normal" life. Start to finish, a season of drum corps is truly one of the most challenging, and rewarding, experiences a young adult can accomplish.
Corps came from post WWII tradition as a youth activity with the surplus equipment from the war, with drums and bugles and color guard, no woodwinds. Bands were started for parades and entertainment, and in America especially for halftime entertainment for football games. There are various styles, like military (Texas A&M for example), Big10 (Ohio State), or HBCU (Southern University). Eventually the two intermingled and created a syncretism of both. Modern drum and bugle corps wanted to focus on the creative aspect of field shows and created DCI. Some bands especially at the high school level followed suit with DCI as the model, creating "corps style" bands.
“Twisty stanky leg” 🤣🤣 man you got the most pure reactions 😂
😂🤣😂 thanks!

I vote to formally change the name to stanky leg
And, yes, in the South, this is called the "stanky leg". lol
I second the motion to refer to it as stanky leg

Cool part about this at the 7:51 mark the snare on the far right dropped his drum and the judge picked it up and returned it dodging performers

Carolina Crown "Drops the Hammer" warm-up ....a must see

Bros back with another banger 💪🏾 Love the reactions man!
If you long the stanky choreography, make sure to check out bluecoats 2022!

I vote yes on the Stanky leg counter 😭
Lmao 🤣
You gotta check out Carolina Crown E=MC2 from 2013.
Definitely need more DCI reactions from you! As many others have said, 2008 Phantom Regiment is a must see. It's based on the story of Spartacus.
Glad I'm not the only person calling it stanky leg. Thought the same thing when i was taught it.
I believe the Blue devils are known for the space chords.
great reaction, I loved the vid.. Did you see the part where they euphoniums and tubas but they instruments down and grabbed trumpets and mellophones.
Thanks! I didn’t notice that! I wish I did. That’s cool.
@@OfficialRogersBrosit was when the percussion stopped playin the chimes thingys. They all switched to high brass

Blue Devils started doing the Space Chords first.
💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💯
M@@OfficialRogersBrosand they always do a Crown formation. That's was the formation before the UFO.
- Marching 101 alum.
@@TheTeamIsSHaRP thanks for informing me! Definitely great info.. 101 as in 10..1 👀👀👀 SCSU?
@@OfficialRogersBros Yes
Dope I also marched in the 101
Surprised you didn't see dude's drum fall off.
I went back and saw it but it was pretty smooth tho lol
For reference, a drum corps group is just called a Corps :)
Noted
Is there a reason why they named the event The Drum Corps International.....then, they didnt just say Corps

@@Blackice0318 well they are still called drum corps, you would just call them corps for short. but yeah
Blue devils do the space chords
Can someone actually tell me the difference between a Corps and a Band?
To my knowledge corps don’t have woodwinds… that’s as far as I know
