Its crazy to see how overall talent has changed in drum corps. Now everyone's brass sound is amazing, not just a few groups or crown.

[@shadycrescent9369]

It may be the use if b flat horns perhaps?

[@starofbanana]

False

[@starofbanana]

@@shadycrescent9369 no, it's because everyone is a rich music major.

[@kan1327]

id say it’s more skill then talent and money ds is expensive😂

[@turkishdelight6032]

I’d argue that it’s largely due to the growth of the internet. There is so much free information now, and anyone can learn how to play an instrument without being in a traditional learning environment. There are tutorials on how to prepare for auditions, how to increase your range, strength and conditioning for marchers, and so much more; the internet has also increased the visibility and popularity of drum corps, so there may be a larger pool of applicants for corps to choose from now. The knowledge is there for anyone who feels like getting better

[@shadowedmayhem5114]

That was genuinely incredible!

[@fugandhi6870]

LET’S GO, TROOPERS!👏✊👏Bring it in ‘23, BRASSLINE!🎺💪🎉🫡🙂🤙

[@DennisJohnsonDrummer]

Love the Troopers. Thanks for wearing traditional uniforms.

[@tomshea8382]

LOL wut

[@demigr0539]

I wouldn't say these uniforms were traditional, they're wearing cowboy getups lol

[@DennisJohnsonDrummer]

@@demigr0539 Troopers=Wyoming=Cowboys Compared to the "costumes" worn by the other groups in D.C.I. they ARE traditional.

[@DennisJohnsonDrummer]

@@isekai_neo Typo fixed. Thanks for the heads up.

[@zacharyash4321]

I'm really loving the gold horns

[@Roboticwhale19]

True I feel like it’s so underrated

[@rosoboy]

they’re cool and all but the reason most corps don’t uses them is because they tarnish easily if i’m remembering correctly

[@rosoboy]

i’m pretty sure the troopers always use gold horns. it’s like there thing which is pretty cool. the only other group that has matched gold horns was crown in 2010

[@hubr5827]

​@@rosoboynaw troop marched silver horns for years. '21 was the first year they marched gold

[@essgee8152]

Do you mean ” brass”! Are these not polished brass. I think everyone is so used to seeing the chrome lacquer. Brass horns When they were G chromed. And Bb normally polished brass with clear coat lacquering.

[@calhlin]

Clean releases!!

[@evghb]

Music is why humans are on this planet. It's what we were designed for. Every single one of our senses, and for some musicians it's damn near every one of their muscles, in perfect harmony to produce something that literally only other humans can understand and appreciate.

[@mercilpb]

Didn't know they had it in 'em! That was great!

[@asher1013]

So good!!!

[@poolman6898]

The dissonance section was awesome

[@Der-Schnitter777]

Love it

[@actionandy4480]

Yes Mary what ever you want!!!!

[@rodrigroudon1872]

Every marching band seems to do this routine

[@averybyars5782]

It’s a basic tuning sequence, a ton of groups do it, most famously crown, and of course us the troopers

[@triston942]

A lot of high schools do it too

[@KyleHottel]

Because it works well. Tunes the important open partials on the brass

[@glennfjenkins2702]

Just one word amazing go troops❤️

[@asher1013]

My high school does it! The director directing the sequence in this video is the brass director at our schools band! She’s awesome!!!

[@JS-hu7pv]

When she points it’s like watching a Harloff clone. Not saying that’s a bad thing at all. This tuning sequence just works, and I’d argue that whatever Harloff and the Crown brass crew do works. It’s smart to emulate it. Hope the Troopers do well this season.

[@Bhrains]

everyone wants to be as good as Harloff, they will never be him or have his time, blood sweat or tears.

[@jonathanhoover6142]

That was cool

[@appaguy]

What a great video! :)

[@emm2summer261]

Was there, and LETS GO AIDEN

[@abrdds]

❤️

[@sillylad7901]

bruh the trumpets had some mad overtones

[@LicardoDeBousee]

My biggest regret in life is not marching more drum corps. I want everyone who is seeing this comment and debating whether to focus on “their future” versus taking advantage of the opportunity while they have it before they turn 22…
Just march guys. When I was 19 in my first year I thought I’d have more time. And then I didn’t match the next year and so on and so forth until I couldn’t anymore.
Don’t worry about your long or even short-term future. You have only so many years of your life to march DCI.
MARCH MARCH MARCH!

$$$$$$$$$

[@JWS95000]

What is that????

[@_Kenopsia_]

wat

[@dci_fan0345]

What is what?

[@Magickastraeus]

I'm a DC new fan. What is happening? I don't see tuning.

[@astrollia5783]

it keeps them in tune with eachother and listening to eachother

[@SirSteak1]

so goood but aint nobody do it like crown

[@starofbanana]

LOL

[@AaronDMcMichael]

Uhm

[@kenh5799]

They sound identical to Carolina Crown

[@cole_bh0373]

Not even close

[@Guhhgur]

Bro really copying the crowns with that intro.

[@Joshuagt34]

Yeah, cuz it’s a tuning sequence, and this is the easiest way to do it. When cars were invented people stopped walking, because walking is harder.

[@ThelaughingPineapples]

All bands down to high schools have used it. It’s normal they don’t care about “copying” petty bs. If it works then then does they clearly share and okay with it 💯🙄

[@Ace_v120]

bruh
