The fact that one of the players is blind really cements this to being one of if not the best shows there will ever be.
@@abehm404 Matt Bowers. Quad drummer with sunglasses. Macular degeneration. Is legally blind, had at the time of this performance about 1% the same level of vision that we have. A DCI and WGI World Class Champion, marched both Cadets and Blue Devils (three years combined). A legend.
As much as I love this show, and seeing it live, I can say with 100% confidence that you’re wrong about this show bring the greatest of all time. Also, having a legally blind marcher has no effect on how good the show is
@@opem1383 Pulse Percussion 2022. It’s not my favorite show, but it’s the highest scoring show of all time in WGI PIW. Pretty simple concept
15 years later this still slaps
Praise Jesus. Somebody did it. Greatest show of all time. Period
As much as I love this show and seeing it live, I can say with 100% confidence that you’re wrong
Who’s still watching this in 2020
TheNoon our schools show is doing that first song bc it’s our director persons favorite show and our show is rly rly good and cool
You know the tenor player with glasses was blind, right? Hes freakin sweet!
+John Dawson Partially blind, espn did an interview with him when he was at cadets
Watching this show live was one of the most rewarding parts of my music career.
performing in PSW that day, getting 8th place, then watching many of my instructors and friends march in PIW that evening was one of mine.
My vis director told me to look up this show cause like the one quad, I have a visual impairment that requires glasses on field. Nice to see I'm not the only one
There is no reason you can provide me to convince me or anyone else that this is not the greatest WGI show ever assembled. Not only was it perfect, but one of the players was literally blind.. Also, the stick toss will go down as the coldest thing ever done on a WGI stage haha
My favorite WGI show ever, my second favorite is Rhythm X 2013, then Pulse 2014
+Zane Stackhouse My favourite will probably always be RCC '07. This is the close second. Can't pick a specific third-MCM '04 or some Aimaichi show, I suppose.
7:06
Yeah that probably got them a lot of points
I could listen to the ballad forever.
I love this show I can’t stop enjoying it been almost ten years
Still one of the best shows in WGI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THE CROWD GOES WILD, LOVE IT.
This pit book is perfect. Exactly how mallet percussion should be arranged.
it is very tasty but in terms of demand the 3rd place group had a front ensemble that was far ahead of any other pit
Perfect scores from GE and GE Music judges....they earned a perfect score from Dennis Delucia.
Anybody else notice the melody from "d**k in a box" at 0:41?
The thing I love about this show is that it speaks completely for itself. No stupid samples or loads of synthesizer crap(just enough). Just beautiful, inspiring music and movements.
I don't think this is the right energy tbh. A show can be just as good with the bits and bobs as it can with the basics. In the end, music is a form of entertainment and expression. If what you want to express only requires battery and front, that's great! If what you want to express needs a little extra, that's great too! Every instrument exists for a reason, and elicits a different feeling -- it makes sense that one show might want to use different instrumentation than another. I personally think Touch is the greatest marching show of all time not because it "speaks for itself", but rather that it's just incredibly entertaining and extremely expressive. It was crafted perfectly, using the tools it needed to use to get the job done. That's all there is to it.
YESYESYESYESYES THANK YOU OMG YESYESYESYES FINALLY YESYES
Thank you very much good sir
im not sure if there is any other show in DCI or WGI that is as unanimously determined as being the best show of all time. there are shows that are always in the convo, but X'09 is probably is easiest GOAT.
If you down vote this video God will smite you
touch of light will forever remain the best wgi ballad of all time
I don't really care about indoor but this is a show worth watching.
Frank Torres (1st Bass)
Was my instructor back in High School here in Miami.
My favorite show : )
Such a great show. Gotta love Brad bells voice too.
Favorite indoor show of all time
Hands down
Doesn't get better then this!
touch walked so cede could run
I still love this show ! Gah damn this shit was 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Those stick tosses. So ballsy to this day. Insane
What a freaking amazing show. WOW!
thank you so much! it's finally here!
so good
why can't i find a video of the xylo player GOING OFF?!?!?!?!?!?
Do you want it?
Anyone know if there’s CD quality audio of this anywhere
I remember thinking this show was overrated and worse thang "Gone" when I saw it live, but it's since grown to be in my top 5 (others being RCC '05 & '07 and MCM '04) and definitely better than Gone.
I usually don’t love marching band but this is SO FUCKING COOL
I'm confused!! was the stick toss at 2:26 accidental? like did he try and do something and it flew out of his hand-only to be caught by his friend the improvisation master?
it just looks like the snare is checking his stick bag for something to play with and then he thinks "oh hey thanks dude" when he gets the stick thrown to him
if it was on accident that would've made it that much sweeter
but still freaking cool
Do you have St& by me?? X 2011??
Best show in WGI
Ok serious question, is the guitar player gibby
woah
Those rolls thoo
This is some shit I need
who wrote the music?
Andrew Markworth has written the front ensemble music for Rhythm X since 2006.
bald tenor is a blind doode
Of course, Mr. E takes credit for this. Horrible teacher and human being. Good riddance.
Do you have St& by me?? X 2011??
BBRRO0o0ooOOO0
