*We're walking and we're together and blue devils and we're together and walking, Okay? Do you understand? It has to be with joy but don't be happy cause we have alot of work to do, Okay? Alot of work, a lot of effort, a lot of talent, you have the best talent, but we're not there yet, you understand?*
Drum corps BS and arguments aside, I'm very glad to have marched with you. You and Malik affected the atmosphere of the entire corps in a good way and I am very content with fading into the background in my last year marching if the guys taking on the spotlight are guys like you. Can't wait to see what John and Scott do with you the next 2 years and how far you go in life after that. Do it up, my man
Every person in the corps is equally important. Just because you didn't have most of the spotlight, that doesn't mean you didn't serve the corps well. Your service, talent, and hard work is admired. Trumpet players all over look up to you.
7:50 is still one of my favorite moments from over the years. I’m a Crown dude at heart but I still have mad respect for you guys and the sound you guys produce. Loved the show this year dude.
I never really liked this show that much, but this was the first blue devils show I ever saw live and it’s the solo actually made me fall in love with drum corps. I don’t know why I’m just seeing this now, the solo cam is amazing.

Nathan Roscoe Always strive for the warm sound you already have in your head. Some people obsess over the little details to try and obtain the “best” sound but get no where. Good tone comes from imagining yourself singing through the trumpet. This means there's a beginning middle and end to the notes you play, really accentuating dynamics, and listen to yourself via iPhone on a regular basis and ask yourself, "does it sing?". Most of the time your ears will tell you what you should do.
@@malikneille tbh bro no offense you look like the guy who says, "HonEYYYY, whERrRRres ma sUUupEerR sUiTT?" otherwise man u & Alan did amazing on ur guys performances.
These videos are depressing to me....I was the top high school trombone player in Indiana from 94-96 and I rejected marching band in college....and got punished for it. I should've embraced DCI...joined Star of Indiana, marched a a division 1 college, but I was done with it all by the time I made it to college. Now I see the huge opportunities that I missed out on...
Hey...can u give me some advice with learning trumpet? I play trumpet for jazz band and im thinking of doing it for marching band. I wanna be a blue devil someday :). I just started trumpet, so far its going ok. Just any advice?? (Btw in the Vista Murrieta Marching band)
Niya Long Listen to trumpet players that inspire you! My favorites are Wayne Bergeron, Phil Smith, Chet Baker, Clark Terry, and many more. The first thing any trumpet player starting out should do, is get inspired. There’s plenty out there, you just have to look!
I don’t get why he didn’t play much in the first movement but in the second or third I don’t know which he did his solo in he played louder than anyone there excluding Joey and Eric
trex1490 The horn was very different. It was a larger size bore, which aided me to get a warmer, more lyrical sound for the solo. It was modeled similar to a Bach Strad 37.

Eric Matthews Love you man
Hi Eric, cannot wait to see your head cam too😀

The cuts between the two runs are probably the cleanest I’ve seen on any headcam
Nate Thank you so much!
@@alanhester7649 also were you one of the bluecoats soloists last year?
Nate yes I was.
Alan Hester Ik I’m late but what solo did you do? The flight of the bumblebee one?
E Gnomes he was with the bluecoats before 2018, not the blue devils lol
7:50 is still one of my favorite moments from over the years. I’m a Crown dude at heart but I still have mad respect for you guys and the sound you guys produce. Loved the show this year dude.
The words have been spoken by Malik...
9:42...
Mind exploded at how clean that was...
Now all we need is a cam from joey
The solo was so clean and effortless it was great amazing
I never really liked this show that much, but this was the first blue devils show I ever saw live and it’s the solo actually made me fall in love with drum corps. I don’t know why I’m just seeing this now, the solo cam is amazing.
The transitions are so dope, perfectly timed! 🔥🔥🔥
9:46 that lick was so clean. I could eat anything off of it

Hey man I love your sound. You guys had a really challenging show and you pulled it off like it was easy!

9:47 ohhhhh my gosshh
My high school performed at Ben Davis for ISSMA 3 years ago
1:19 if i was caught doing this id have to do pushups
You ain’t lieing in my marching band anything like that you would be doing push-ups because that damages the trumpet correct????
Cam’s Gaming yeah
Cam’s Gaming well it can
Hey what mouthpiece do you use
What kind of trumpet is that at 9:13 it sounds like a nice big bright sound
System Blue trumpet but a custom raw brass one just for this show
I love you
You are my idol.
What kind of mouthpiece do you use
fye
What horn was your solo horn?
Great run! Did you march with BD every year until aging out?
He would’ve aged out in 2020 but Blue Devils didn’t field a full show
You understand

Wooooooooooow you're so pretty
Wrong thumbnail??
8:15
How many hours of practice do you guys put in a week?
Close to 15 hours a day during all days and maybe 10 or slightly less hours during tour. Imagine that for the entire summer.
DAD
DO YA UNDERSTAND
You understand?
Ur god
#bloo
9:47
What horn was your solo horn?
jack System Blue!
@@alanhester7649 Any reason in particular for changing horns for your solo? was it a different kind of horn or was it just aesthetic?
trex1490 The horn was very different. It was a larger size bore, which aided me to get a warmer, more lyrical sound for the solo. It was modeled similar to a Bach Strad 37.
Alan Hester reversed lead pipe?
Jared Alexandrian Yes
