Carolina Crown 2019 - "Beneath the Surface" Sandifer Reid Griffin - Lead Mellophone /// GoPro Hero+ Dayton, OH - A few days out from 2019 DCI World Championship Finals
I marched both trumpet and mellophone in Drum Corps (08 and 09), and watching this video reminds me of why my season on mellophone was the best time of my life. I’ve never had more fun and enjoyed music more than my summer on Mello in 09.
had to march 7/8 my senior year of high school, very weird. it sucked having to teach the new marchers how to not only march normally, but now in something completely new to everyone
Is that the 5mp or 6mp? Amazing performance! Every motion is so rigid, all the detail, and every run is so articulate... I could listen to this mello line for days
Trent Ice , Thank you so much!!! I play on the Crown Series 5v. I believe the design aligns with the Hammond pieces, so my guess is it’s an equivalent to the 5mp.
Did you guys organize the places where you would take breaks within playing or is it just something you pick up over time? I was surprised with how well you were pacing yourself, whenever I try and make myself play (well) the whole show my final impact sounds tight and I feel like I wanna throw up afterwards lol
Hey! Yeah, we use assigned breathing counts for each section of the program (based on part and the drill form we’re in at the time). Every breath taken was selected for me.
Oh. Yeah, that’s a BERP (Buzz Extension Resistance Piece). It attaches to the lead pipe and can hold the mouthpiece. It lets us buzz and practice fingerings without actually creating sound from the instrument. They’re great for overtraining, and you can even adjust the resistance. Many corps use them.
I listen to this while taking a poop, and i must say it turns it into an adventure.
I'm doing that right now and I have to agree
Coincidence
Testing this 11 months later. Still is true.
I do concur

Opener still gives me, chills great work!
That was such a neat perspective on the performance. One of my favorite shows. This made me like it even more!!!
This show is amazing, and to this day i still dont understand how did they march with 4/4 + 7/8 mixed meter in the last movement, that's amazing

what is the attachment on ur mellophone
It's a torn t-shirt wrapped around the bell and around the valve casings. I put it on there so I could distinguish my horn from the other instruments.
Reid Griffin I was talking about the piece next to ur mouthpiece
