Their time/ensemble rhythm was so good this year. I bet those kids went to sleep hearing the sound of a metronome :)
⏱️😴
Thank you for making all of the alumni who have marched over 7@1/2 decades are very proud of you and your efforts
Robert Follett I teared up reading this 😭
I like how part of the pit music was SOS in morse code @7:45
Jason Pfeilsticker and drumline all throughout the show and some of the hornline toward the beginning
Great catch. I hope BAC Percussion instructors pointed that out in critiques.
Yes! Morse code is alluded to several times during this show, but why? Certainly the boys in Lord of the Flies didn't use Morse code. Sure Morse code pertains in general to distress signals and castaways, but it doesn't apply to this story, directly. In fact, morse code is part of the avalanche of symbolic elements in this show that never really coalesce. Who is saved at the end? Who deserves it? Do they care that they're being saved? Do they weep? Do they even look at one another? What a hurried, muddled mess.
@@coreyadkins1874 Corey, the judges share all this kind of thematic information on a shared, private online judge's portal. This helps the judges score so consistently. The judges post information about the shows they receive from designers in their post show critiques. They are required to. If the judges didn't share the information with one another, the designers would have legitimate grievance if a judge didn't receive that information from the night before. The judges discuss the value of the corps shows and share opinions about the show's attributes-- the show's Cohesiveness, Authenticity, Emotion, Universality and Uniqueness. The judges share this information, bundled under the heading "depth of concept". It impacts the score in the categories of Musical Analysis, Visual Analysis and Color Guard (that's more than 50 percent of the score.) . The more we know about the judges' criteria, the more we can control our corps' design, and the more we can impact our placement. The more marching members know what makes a good show design, the more employable they are in the arts when they age out.
I didnt notice that
Lost in the sos
My favorite show of the year
Best color guard 2018 in my opinion and by far the clearest concept; which is greatly appreciated! Great job @DCI and throughout the season!!!
I'd expect especially since the guard techs are from crown, now crowns guard is kinda just..... there
This show should've placed higher :C
I disagree. I’m extremely satisfied that not only have they fielded one of their best shows to date and placed the highest they’ve ever been, but also snagged the colorguard caption. I’m giving 3 years before top 3, or a gold medal.They have the potential to become the next Cadets with Gino in charge of their brass
Ryland Cook Not only that but with literally the Cadets percussion caption head in charge too
Finn Jones 6th place. They’ve been butting heads with Cavies for most of the season
@@rylandcook5301 Actually 5th Cavies got 6th
I can totally see them fighting for a medal next year. Pardon the pun, but their performance quality has really been rising steadily since 2013. I could see a championship in the next 3 or 4 years.
I wonder if these people will go into education and the students will look yp their teachers and see them super skinny and shirtless
vageena hurtz A lot of people who do DCI are Msuic Education majors. That being said I am 99% sure all of them will wear shirts and pants at work and their tan would have faded away at the start of the school ywar
Ryan yeah my band director was the timpanist for the crusaders in 2006 and it was weird seeing him a bit thinner
Ryan and I meant up not yp lol
vageena hurtz If you know Dean Patterson (former regiment drum major), he’s the band director now for one of the best middle schools in the state of Georgia
Lol my drum instructor played for the Matrix and Phantom Regiment drumline.....lets just say I’ve seen some stuff while watching their rehearsals😂😂
Imagine a rescue helicopter flying over right when they form S. O. S. 😂 great show though!!!!
I dont think that's allowed actually.... there might be a rule against that... I know there's one in WGI, and that is for the sake of safety of everyone in the arena. Safety is probably also a concern in DCI too.
Despite all of that, yes, that would be sick
Bro that would be super cool
...this show is straight thunder! One of my favorite battery performances of this past summer...c'mon y'all...travel out west one of these summers!! Definitely a corps on the rise! Fantastic post...especially on Jan. 9th during winter loathing...
5:50 never in my life did i think a flexatone would be used in a serious production but here we are
Does anyone else get indoor percussion vibes from this show?
I get indoor vibes from a lot of DCI shows these days. I'm an old guy and it's taken me a while to accept the amps/synths etc that are everywhere now, but a lot of corps' do it very well and if it keeps kids coming into the activity...let's do it.
Michael Engle+ I cant wait to audition, I’m planning to audition for PR euph/bari line.
And to be honest I’m a fan of both of the g-bugle era and the b-flat horn era. Yeah I wish I was marching with g bugles but that’s life. And you don’t always get what you want, so people are going to have to accept it I suppose.
Watch Music City '18, they remind me a lot of older shows because, while they do use electronics for certain effects, they do not shotgun mic their hornline.
I did
Outstanding! I just subscribed. This is the highest quality video and sound, and the multiple camera coverage is perfect!
The snare tuning....is.....so.....yummy
The ending made me cry beautiful just beautiful
I love this show so much
yoooooo I got to watch them rehearse here! We were supposed to rehearse after them but the field was commandeered by the football team :/
This is definitely one of the most interesting shows ive seen in recent years
I love how the theme from Marimba Spiritual kept coming up every now and again
Gavin Blackshear SAME!
This show really gets to me
One of the top 3 ballads of 2018 definitely
Fantastic job on Cast away/Amazing grace. 😊
At 7:02 I'm getting major scv 2018 vibes> Anyone else?
Yep
Go Kendall Wellbrook!! (trumpet....daughter of a guy I marched in BD with)
It's cool that vanguard and BAC have the same song in their shows
Jake Nowell I thought I was the only one that noticed that. No comments were ever made about that
what song?
Carter Duggins 7:02-7:18. It's used in SCVs closer also, at the beginning
Robert McGee Oh i didn’t even notice that’s awesome
I thought that sounded familiar...
5:45 gives me Blue Stars 2017 vibes...
I love this show but on God there is some people in the pit that need to eat
It just adds to the show
Most people who do pit need to eat
Lol I’m 49, been eating all my life, and I’m still under 175 lbs at 6’5”. Fast metabolisms just equals more talent. 💪
who is that timpanist he’s such a badass
Carter Duggins OH YEAH
Juan Arreguin. He’s a freakin timpani god
Check out Academy's timpanist from the past 3 summers. She's Outstanding!
His name is Juan Arreguin. He’s pretty incredible
Ikr
YAYYYYYYY
Awesome!
This drum break is substantially better than Cadets 2011 drum break.
Colin McNutt really do be the percussion director for BAC sometimes
JUAN!! ❤❤❤
quad book 🔥
I fucking love the tenor cams
10:03 gives me chills every time
I'd say 4 techs in front of the snare line at 2:31 is a bit of overkill, wouldn't you say?
🦆
Christopher Quevedo Chris Quevedo
Some coulda been bass techs maybe but I really don’t know
I just think it’s funny seeing them run around with the rest of the battery xD
Ok but the center snare totally looks like Penguinz0/Ctr1tikal
Pretty sure he did marching band too
did he actually? lol
He looks like my drumline's section leader named Peyton. You don't care...
Watch him suddenly make a video “I was in drum corps”
this show’s theme reminds me so much of Lord of the Flies!
Woah. Crazy huh
honestly i just watched for the timpani cam lol
thanks man!
I transcribed the whole show for drumline because I dont have a life.
Hold up was this the show that reminded me of lord of the flies when I watched it at first
Yes indeed it was
Best Timpanist ever, fight me.
aw thanks man :)
Our school bought their timpani
Julian Klimczyk Take care of them :) I miss them
1:28 mmmmmm tasty splits
If you didn’t listen at full volume ur ded to me
3:08
🎺🔥🎺🔥🎺🔥🎺🔥🎺🔥🎺🔥
A bit of their closer sounds like Vista Ridge High School marching bands closer. 10:10 (Texas State Champions)
Tufun3136 Gregor theme is also kind of similar
Think you could upload the Madison Scouts next? :)
Anyone know the best way to mount a gropro on a Bass?
When our drumline does videos we usually just put a go pro on a head cam for bottom bass
3:56
Sarah!!!! HULP MEEEEEEE
Does anyone know the name of the instrument at 4:00
7:04 Babylon?
What is that called at 5:04 ? and how would you notate it?
It's called "stick on stick" or sometimes "walking the dog" (see th-cam.com/video/DRL_s2D-eHc/w-d-xo.html for some tips). As for notation, there's no standard, but you should always try to make it clear. The transcription from Snare Science (drive.google.com/open?id=1V8_8edMSw7CfDj5_sEG7Le-LjUCKmmlp) writes the left and right sticks on separate lines (doesn't look great, but it gets the point across).
3:44 conquest shots
where's the Madison scouts full show??? did you guys not work with them this year?
Snare Boy101 they didn’t make finals
@@khristiansprinkle807 Madison Scouts didn't go to finals in 2016 either but they still got a video
What instrument did vibes have at the beginning?
church chimes
Hey at 8:17 what are those intruments called?
Handbells
That was schexy
Indeed
He is a liberal
I will never figure out how Crown placed higher than Boston.This show still makes me cry at the end.
What is the top head that the snares use
Jackson Weathers looks like a Remo white max I could be wrong tho
DoctorFierybirD it’s a prototype
What does BAC Stand for? Does it stand for Boston Crusaders?
SCV 2018 @ 7:10??
Marimba S @ 4:00
G/than Works lol
7:45 Animal Farm vibes
3:48
Shouts out to the one guy wearing a shirt
Very good show, but too much synthesizer at many points.
3:41 bruh
Why is the Marching band Marching Toe Ball Heal???
I live for 4:41
Hell yeah!
Hey bass drums....you know you’re supposed to play out and not down? Great playing tho. You guys were awesome
Why does the beginning remind me of farcry 5?
Doesn't the opener sound a lot like Cadets from years past? Also, why is the opener so jubilant after the initial opening strains? What in the story is supporting the bubbly tone in the opener? I don't get it.
Ripped tenor boi
Show more of the god damn horns
Andy Mandabach HeyThereBuddy. This is a drum stick channel. 🙃
Vic Firth makes drumsticks and mallets my guy.
They got footage from the horns but as others have said, this is a percussion channel.

Boston's "SOS" lacked a logical who/what/where foundation. Where are we? Sure, it was likely a metaphor for humanity lost on a proverbial island, but that metaphoric premise wasn't conveyed clearly to the viewers. Viewers did not understand if this was fiction or non-fiction, an historical premise, a modern day event, or a metaphor, or an allusion to the Lord of the Flies, or a take on the embarrassingly vacuous reality show Lost. (Any good designer knows it can't be all of these without careful attention to the setup.) In a twelve minute timeframe, it's best to set up a clean premise. Let the audience know if this is an amalgam of various time periods. The typical way to do this is have an old Crosley radio tuning in to various news stations, one after another "Amelia Erhart's plane is lost." Radio static. "My husband went on his boat and his GPS just cut out." Radio static. "It's like the Bermuda Triangle but in the middle of the Atlantic" "(Japanese voices.)" "Man how could this happen in 2018?" Done. But instead of this, we were left wondering, is this a legitimate boat sinking or plane crash in the age of GPS? What year is this? Why is no one saving these people? Where are the search parties? Where's the satellite imagery?
The weakest part about Boston's show, and it was egregious, was the lazy and cliched selection of the tune "Amazing Grace". It just didn't fit. Clearly the hymn was chosen because someone Googled the word lost and found and Amazing Grace came up as the only recognizable royalty-free option. The tune itself is about personal redemption and has very little to do with people stranded on an island and creating a new society from scratch. The tune is steeped in an American tradition of sobriety, self-help, Negro spirituals, none of which fit this far fetched "what if" Lord of the Flies premise. Worse, we didn't know who to root for, or if this society had triumphed in some way by the time they were rescued. Had they grown? Had they bonded? Were they happy to be rescued? Were they worthy of rescue? Who rescued them? The show was a complete dead zone, emotionally. We didn't know whether to cheer these wacko survivalists or boo them for being such aggressive monsters around a fire pit. These stranded survivors demonstrated no good deed worthy of salvation. Why are they saved now? What deed saved them? Were they unified in some way now? The whole thing was frantic, episodic, higgledy piggledy and rushed. The final disappearance visual was fun to watch but was meaningless. Did they want to be saved? How were they different now? Any Humanist message was lost in a whirlwind of frantic rushing to and fro. By the end, maybe a couple of the survivors could have say... hugged? Maybe joined hands? Cried like in Lord of the Flies? It seemed like they couldn't have cared less to be rescued, didn't even know each other. Some of them looked like they were happy enough just to know they'd be able to buy a 7-Eleven slurpee when their plane landed. "Big deal." No eye contact between the survivors, no interaction. No arc. No clear enlightenment by the end. No reason for the reward of rescue. No thematic argument. No emotional stakes. No meaning. Fifth place.
Do you have nothing better to do
Than talk about show design? Show design, which impacts the scoresheet more than any other factor? No, I don't. What do you want to talk about? Their clean "Flams"? Jesus fucking Christ.
I don't think many fans looked into that deep? Like wtf. Its a DCI show about being stranded on an island. Why do you need historical context or need to know of the year? I get that maybe you're a designer yourself or just super into show design, but like chill. This show was a crowd favorite and everyone got what Boston portrayed it to be. You don't need to take that big of a crap on what these kids worked for and the design teams works. Heres the link to a video of the design team discussing this show if you're really that passionate. th-cam.com/video/MjAMyeyRrxE/w-d-xo.html
@@jesuspectre9883 dude I marched the show if you don't like it you don't have to. Just don't expect designers to cram that amount of story building into a show with a pretty simple story arc. Was the show perfect? No. But "satellite imagery" wouldn't have gotten us a ring or made you like it more
The metaphor was vague and made no sense. No one understood the fictional basis for it. No one knew why these people were on an island in the day of GPS and satellite imagery. Everyone knows you should avoid placing characters in a vague metaphor. (Even Brigadoon is justified as a mysterious Scottish village that appears for only one day every 100 years. Not "Scotland in general.") By the end, for all their "battling", no one cared whether these stranded people were saved, no one knew why they felt "redeemed." The three act structure was completely buried. No one in the audience knew there were three acts or why.
Everyone knows that "conflict" is the old fashioned approach to production design and screenwriting. Man versus nature, man versus self, man versus a side-by-side refigerator. Instead, the new approach is agreement among the characters to achieve a goal, not continually battle against everything, including the kitchen sink. By the end of the twelve minutes, they've battled everything from making fire to realizing they're responsible for their own orgasms, but we still don't know who they are to each other. Also, how does one begin to depict "Battling one's self?"" It was completely unclear. Maybe that's why the survivors barely made eye contact with each other for the last three minutes of the show. Story was the problem here. Setup of the who/what/where platform. Focus of the game. Heightening. Resolving. Also, just in terms of "screenwriting", which the artistic director mentioned, it's rule number one to avoid having something passively happen "to" your characters, like getting saved. Instead, let them achieve it for themselves through their deeds.
Boring show
