Trumpet soloist Ben Gunnarson performing his role in the Bluecoats 2016 world championship-winning production, "Down Side Up" at the encore of the Drum Corps International World Championship Finals, with additional footage from DCI finals week rehearsal at Indiana Wesleyan University.
I compiled both videos into one so I could capture as much of what was happening as possible. What an awesome drum corps career... 2013, '14, '15, and 16' will be some of the most memorable summers of my life. I'm so lucky to have aged-out with this incredible show! All comments are welcome.

Ben, you are why i auditioned for drum corps. Your drive and spirit pushed me to audition for the '17 season. Now I'm spending my rookie year with Guardians. Thank you for being an inspiration to young musicians everywhere, you have no clue the huge effect you have on the music world as a whole.
Thanks, glad to hear it! Good luck!
i am too! which camp did you go to?
TheFewMinuteReviews aye Logan , I thought they won't be giving out contracts until callback ?
Oterm US that's right, but i got a 1 and a 1.5! Steve told me to start planning my summer.
See you on the field!
Compared to high school marching band, this isnt even marching anymore.
this is Dancing band.
do y’all not put in like movements?
@@ltjoel8923 this is more movement
The high school band I play in is not competitive whatsoever, so this sort of shit is but a dream for us. It looks like competitive dance to me lol. It’s so different from what we do.
7:42 bro hes just too smooth
It’s fucking lovely at this part
7:16 "where's my mouthpiece?" ooooof
You can actually play without a mouthpiece but its harder to get the right tone
@@mmmbacon8273 no. No you can’t. Unless you want like three partials.
@@mmmbacon8273 and it’s nearly impossible to get the right tone.
Nooo the pain
"Oh well"
We are all here because we play an instrument or we we're bored and this was on suggestions
hmmm.. That's true okay
Or to see how marching band is not a sport....
KarmaTheCamel drum corps is a sport
KarmaTheCamel and people care why?
KarmaTheCamel good thing this isn’t marching band
Don’t y’all love it when non marching band people tell you that marching isn’t hard and all you can do is only wish that they came and rehearsed with the band someday just to see what a day in the life is cause man I do
Same.
We’ve seen people play higher, faster, and louder than Ben, but we’ve never seen anyone play better than Ben.
Perfect to
Well said.
11:15 I’ve never hit the nut button so fast in my life
7:15 Someone in background says "wheres my mouthpiece" LOLOL The amount of panic in that one second LOL I can't even begin to imagine.
i think its a running joke there because some of them were swapping instuments and mouthpieces at least thats what i always thought
As a trumpet player playing that high and that fast as efficient is actually really hard and takes a lot of practice and skill
Don’t forget while moving and dancing
Duh
Oh my bad I thought it was like a really simple and didn’t require and practice or skill
Don't forget breathing as a trumpet player. Man it takes me so much air to circulate the air to hit high notes.
Zyriazx bro I know it’s so hard to play such a high note for so long
5:23 THAT TROMBONE FELL
RIP
that moment when you realize that this video was posted in 2016 and it is just being put in recommended
It was.....
I knew that😚
Well it’s amazing anyway 👍
The moment you realize no one likes these comments anymore!
OH MY GOD THE EDITING.

Ok beat tho
Revisiting this head cam after three years gives me a special type of sweet and sour fuzz. Downside Up was my introduction to the amazing world of drum corps, especially this video amongst the collection of many others. Hearing the ballad moved me beyond belief. As an eighth grade, I thought that I’d never have the opportunity to march drum corps because I’m a clarinet player. Recently, I joined my first corps as a junior on baritone and looking back at this gave me hope for a bigger future in drum corps. I can’t believe how far I’ve come, and I’d like to give some credit to this. Thank you to all the performers out there that have overtaken me, it has been the utmost pleasure to shape who I am through you
Jenna Maue 🔥🔥💯💯
"Where's my mouthpiece" might be the scariest words uttered in DCI history.
Good thing it was the encore lmao
I’m not a band kid I just think these are so freaking satisfying
you got good taste
As you should be
The idea of it switching from practicing to performance is amazing.
"Where's my mouthpiece?" Everyone's heart in the corps stops for a second.
Nobody:

Nah I’ve been getting recommended it for years
8:19 OMG I love this
this is honestly the most incredible display of musicianship, athleticism, and dedication - I fucking love this video!
Cait Ford so true you can see that they trained for this
@@Thatoperator23 no that's the most impressive thing! This was first try!!!
"Aye, let's do it good! Let's do it good baby."
"Except for you take it easy"
Lmao
Bruh imagine how much pressure that guy had on him
35+ years in the activity, and I can say without a doubt that Great Gig in the Sky was one of my favorite productions ever
don coulombe I second this
I come back every once in a while just to see this beast play.
Spectral_Wolves I do too!
Real talk
The “where’s my mouthpiece” at 7:16 has to be the best part of the whole video in my opinion 😂
I wonder if that guy found his mouthpiece
Bullseye Guys th-cam.com/video/-vsw9rqsqJo/w-d-xo.html and skip to 7:00
Damn. Lol I fully wasn't expecting to be yanked back in time like that. That was ME in the early 2000's. I've not found anything in life yet that compares to crushing like that in front of so many people. The teamwork, the skill, the talent, the hard work, the time, all of it came flooding back to me watching this. Woof, my eyes got wet and it was startling to feel those things again, because as I said I had forgotten lol
Especially getting to flex and scream like that as we did. The dream of so many trumpet players that only a handful get to experience. Ugh
Thanks for that trip. 😊 I needed that.
💙
Where'd you march?
To be honest I normally don't like watching these type of things but to see it from this perspective changes everything for me.
Then transitions between rehearsal and the actual thing is bizarre and awesome
Rehearsal dirty gloves, actual competition, clean gloves. Great video 👍🏻
How would his gloves get that dirty?
@@toxicthetoxico7178 Sweat, rust, saliva, dirt, mold
Its a magical feeling when you play in a big event and people are cheering
Literally no feeling like it
I was a soloist in Met Life stadium for a marching band show the other day, and it was a great experience. Super exhilarating when everybody is cheering.
my life will be complete when im able to play that well
Practice.
Danny Chandra you can bet your ass I play at lest 5 hours a day(I’m a high school sophomore btw)
Xeno Player Holy. Now I feel bad... XD
step 0429 I’m decent at playing but I can only play a double c and I’ve been told my tone is good by college professors but I’m not good enough for this
Xeno Player I can barely hit a e‘‘‘. I can only dream of hitting a double c. But I think I am on a good way.
But don‘t practice too much. I played every day 2 hours until I couldn‘t play any longer.
I needed one year to get my abilities back. This was terrible. I could barely a g‘‘ at this time.
But I think you will do good. Just keep smiling and do stuff that motivates you.
This is so awesome to watch. I'm 13 and I want to audition for drum corps when I'm older because I have discovered the blue coats. My school lets 8th graders march up in our marching if they are good enough. ( I had to audition.) I was super lucky to have made it in and it lit a flame in my heart. I love to play trumpet, and I practice for hours every day. its practically in my blood, ( my mother, father, and sister all play/d trumpet) and I was always jealous of my sister because she was so good. she was the main soloist at our school and was considered a legend ( she was GOOD.) I was always just seen as her little sister, ( until she quit.) this video has inspired me to be part of the blue coats when I'm older, loved the video your awesome!
Edit: heyo guys it’s been awhile. Dreams still going good, at the moment I’m seventeen and heading into my senior year. I’m mostly focused on getting into music school at the moment for music education and trumpet performance, but I’m also back in the swing of marching since band is back. (Stupid COVID) my plans to audition are still there but will probably not be put into place untill Next year because I’m just too busy to go to audition for drum core this year and have plans for next summer. Buttttt after next summer when I’ve got into a good collage I’m for sure going to audition. I even have a few friends who want to come along as well. That’s the plan for now. :)
Ayo 16 how's the dream so far?
yo how's the dream
still going good?
@@damonatar check my edit :)
@@spikedthenuke7383 going swell my dude check my edit ;)
My band directors made us watch this every to show us there is no difference between the show and practice.
Hilkmeister smart man/woman
My favorite part is how everyone goes nuts over the wink and then immediately get quiet when ben starts playing again
I also like how you can hear exactly when the wink happened
Time stamp ?
@@brio2971 9:08
8:20 Peaceful and Calm then a Wild West showdown song, that is my favorite part
It’s the 70th time watching this and I’m still not bored of it
same
GOD DAMN
That’s 910 minutes, actually well over
5:23 BRO THAT TROMBONE FELL OH MY FUCKING GOD MY LUNGS HURT
ur lungs hurt?
Wikstammen - Overwatch gasping
Proof the earth is round
if you’ve ever played trumpet or trombone while moving its very tiring so props to these people who just nailed it
Snailuzon i play trumpet in band. But when i go to high school ima do marching band just so i. can go to foot ball games
PENELOPE GARCIA pffft you don’t even know
Now imagine the baritones and euphoniums
I play low brass and man it is difficult
Careless Gacha Studio dude that's the dumbest thing i've ever heard, stick with it if you enjoy it. you're gonna have to go through the effort of practicing daily or almost daily anyways, so if you only want to do it for the games then don't drag the rest of the band down and quit
I really love the transactions between the rehearsals and the day you preformed
I know I’m years late but, gotta love the great gig in the sky 👍
im late too, love it
Can we take a second and listen to that pedal tone with power real quick at 8:20?
That was Javi Ayala and it was beautiful!
@@tommyellis7728 Thats a pedal G from the bass trombone. Theres a headcam out there and you can hear it plus hes in 4th position
@Ten O I mean its flat 4th since Gb is in flat 5th and F id pretty much 7th but whatever you say
@Ten O Okay look i wasnt going to be an asshole but if you want to try it pick up a fucking trombone play a Bb in the staff and lip down to a pedal. Theyre both in 1st. Do the same with A. Theyre both in 2nd. Go down chromatically and you'll find G in 4th position. E can be played in 7th but its out of tune and not reliable so a trigger should be used. No one was being rude to you asshole at least learn to play the instrument before fucking with other people over it
"All right, let's do it and let's do it good.
Except for you...you take it easy."
Can’t lie 8:20 has to be the best part of this show!!! I love the power! Also Ben your really inspire people like me! I’m a trumpet player my self and just love watching this video over and over. It’s amazing!
This video/show is literally the reason I became a fan of The Bluecoats
YourTypicalBandKid same
YourTypicalBandKid same
Same. I wanna try out this year because of this show
Besides the show itself being so perfect, I love the edit at 8:15-8:20 the switch from practice to the encore performance after winning was so damn good and it gave me chills.
YESS
8:18
Ahhh beautiful
*bass trombone kicks down the door*
WHAT'S GOOD FAM
“This is the greatest gig in tha’ sky ya’ know?” Greatest DCI quote of all time.
At 11:17 I could never
I'm still salty to this day that I didn't get to see this live because it got rained out
this was COOOOL. like i saw someone said “all this work to not play a sport” but do u REALIZE THIS IS HARDER THEN A SPORT. being able to move around like that all while playing an instrument? u know how hard this is? takes lots of training and this guy was amazing playing the solo so cool to see! blue coats r awesome and i applaud u all for ur hard work and dedication! also saw u guys on tik tok so that’s why i’m here!
Don’t forget how hard it is to breathe. You play an instrument but it takes a lot of your air and if your moving than great. 😂
I wouldn’t say it’s harder than a sport but more respected to be deemed A SPORT. These guys are putting in immense effort, just like athletes would. There’s no reason to not call these guys athletes.
Dominic Salanga try preforming with a contra and having good quality I’ve played football and hockey and drum Corp is harder than both
Tiny Tuba especially when ur short and feeble like me and play contra. My shoulder, my back, help
It's said that marchers have the heart rate of marathon runners, which actually makes sense
Has anyone watched this more than once bcz it was so incredable
The Boss I've probably watched this a few dozen times since the Finals..
The Boss My views have made up 2/3 of the total :s
yes
imagine being able to jazz run that good
those transitions where so cool

Dabedavida bruh
@@beansofcan1673 lol
Lmao
My dad played in the Bluecoats ( trumpet ) in the 90's, so it is cool to see that they are still around and have some strong players.
I was today years old when I found out that this incredible solo 7:30 is the melody from the great gig in the sky :00
Dude, I’ve watched this almost every day for like 2 months.
Thrx Wolf why? Just asking it’s not like it changes.
TheOkwaCraft it’s just really good.
@@theokwacraft2318 i used to listen to the audio of this like every day until it was taken down. i swear i can feel the excitement in the video and i love it every time.
Same this and their 2017 show
5:22 a trombone falls in perfect timing w the music.
Kyle Shum I never noticed that
shit that scared me
@@lukepetrowski why have i seen this probably 50 times and never seen that
DaGaming Snake that’s what I said
This video is the whole reason i know about dci, this show is such and inspiration and its why i switched to a brass instrument. This video and this show is the whole reason i practice almost every day and after under a year playing the baritone I’m first chair in my band. I wanna say, thank you for making this video and inspiring me to try and make bloo when I’m old enough to.
What do you play before Baritone?
i'm a clarinet + sax player and i taught myself brass (with some help from friends), marched div 2 (open class) in 2003, a semifinalist corps in 04, and bluecoats 05-07 as a lead mello. you got this, dan the crayon.
dude this guy makes high Es look effortless. Id be straining to even push a high C
DEGOBEATS and that's fine, as long as you're trying to hit them. Just practice and you'll get there.
Ur lucky u don’t have to play triple g
@@darealkokujinz1503 I can play Triple gs
Comrade Carter no offense but I highly doubt that, if you can you should be a trumpet professional (as long as you can play a legit triple g without pinching)
@@ianian2425 Yeah, I pinch and I know that, still can play them. Double c to e is my range where I don't pinch.
5:39 has to be my favorite part. Such a nice performance.
You know your good when you can sync up your rehearsal with your performance
the only reason this has 1.1 million views is because I've watched it so many time 😁😁
Pablo Ayala me too!. :)
Pablo Ayala I was there as a trumpet player, good times
this has become my favorite thing to watch in quarantine.
Holy shit I feel winded and all I’m doing is listening
I’m a freshmen in highschool and this video inspires me so much. I can hit the first c above the staff easily and this inspires me to try and go play higher! This video inspires me to stay in band and play for as long as I can until I can’t!
Easily? dude I can barely hit that C
Collin Lawrence the longest I’ve held it for was eight counts at 100 beats per minute. I haven’t tried to go any longer
even still its amazing that you are so far ahead of me but in the same grade. Keep it up man!
Bruh that C is no joke it pains me to hit that xD
I hit a triple g 🥴
the great gig in the sky part is easily one of, if not, the greatest marching band performance i have ever heard. it sounds so close to what Clare Torry sung and it has the exact same feel and character she had with it. bravo!
Trumpet players where you at!
Disney Dog6 right here 😄
Same I'm here
WASSUH🤙🏾🎺🐐
Disney Dog6 hello fellow dumbasses of the trumpet section
TW_Galactic 🤣😆😆
i will never get tired of this video.... never
7:50 is the Flugelhorn solo if you guys came for that
I always come for it so soothing and fucking amazing
Almost forgot to watch this today
I dropped band my senior year of high school, and I’ve really never regretted anything more. I’ll be going back to college soon and when i do, I’m auditioning for their band and praying they’ll take me. Really miss this
@@0.204. I’ll do my best! They said they take anyone who was in marching band during high school but it’s been years since I’ve marched or played
My personal worst note for coming in on cold is high Ab, major props to Ben that he nails it every time.
That alone makes him a god in my eyes, also major appreciation to whomever edited this, amazing job.
Honestly this guy deserves some respect, the performance was outstanding!, Bravo
As a Trumpet player, that note was high af
fr, i keep coming back to this video to play their high notes but it's crazy
I hate how people think the trumpet is so easy they think you blow and you press buttons but there is so much more involved and I recommend anyone trying to do an instrument play the trumpet it's so much fun to do I play the trumpet and just saying it takes years to get as good as Ben
Aidan McBride it is fun I love trumpet I’ve been playing for 4 years now and I’m at a college level in middle school
bull fucking shit
Just your Average Fish fish
There really is so much more. I really want to see Just your Average Fish hit at least a high C
Succ Me dude screw off you think you play high that means you are college level? Ben is pretty much a bit over college level and I guarantee you are not even close to being as good as him.
When that bone fell over I wanted to cry
His solos are so great
Not a day goes by that I don’t think about this show
He's getting flashbacks of the practice. Someone help him
This is comment underrated 😂
“Set”
“One more time”
“Reset”
The horrors everyone remembers
7:50 this is the sound of nostalgia in my head. Any moments of memories faintly fading. This is what I hear. 🎵😌
This was randomly in my recommended
Beanos Yeet same
"Where's my mouthpiece??" That must have been terrifying.
11:18
The power in this guys tone is beautiful I’m almost in tears. It’s my senior year, and I’m so much of a band geek that the only part of my future I’m thinking about is what my college band years are gonna be like, and if I’ll know anyone who will be there😅🥲🖤🤍❤
8:22 meat level from that bass bone is off the charts
it’s crazy how this show literally changed dci
Danielle Winn yep, first show to come out as these new style of uniforms, and they won. That’s what you call a great start
Danielle Winn True statement.
Dominic Phan then blue devils said hey we can wear unis like those too and then metamorph happened
11:14 is a nut
I’ve watched this like everyday for the past week. Your flugelhorn solo is amazing😀
John McCrory me tooo I’m trumpet player
I will never forget being in front of field 2 for this show at semis, and having significantly worse seats for the finals, so standing on one of the second floor balconies to watch it all over again. The wave of energy and excitement that comes over me every time I watch this show is almost unrivaled. That’s all thanks to the performers like you who poured your blood, sweat, tears, and every breath of air in your lungs into making this such an iconic moment in DCI history.
I have listened to this show since I was a Freshman in high school back in 2016, I’ve probably came back to this video and watched it upwards of 100 times. I would literally give anything to have been there in person, definitely my favorite show of all time.
I can’t stop loving 5:40 it’s just so special to me bro, I need serious help someone.
both of these parts i love so much it gives so much emotion oh my god
When that trombone fell at 5:22... 😬
Owwwww
Pain
at least it was in time 😂😂
That guy that said "where is my mouth piece." Will be me
Idc that this is 4 years later but the transitions are grate
grate YEP
