I can imagine the setting. Its late June hot as hell and they just rode 400 miles to get there that day for the show. After eating PB&J again they suited up as the sun set to prepare for another night of greatness. These kids are tired, hot and ready to give their souls to the show and audience. The conductor who works for peanuts does this because he loves it and would not want to be anywhere else than in front of this horn line. You can tell they give him everything they have as they do every night. What a corp, what a horn line. Its this kind of excitement that makes me want to go to a DCI show.
@@FrankleeMiDeer I still come back and listen to this on occasion. Nothing stirs the emotions in me the same way as this horn line. The energy, passion and pure musical ability. I would love someday to stand in the circle and listen to them warm up. That would be my "make a wish" dream.
Okay, when I heard BD space chords in the background at 2:16 then Crown blast over top of it made me that much happier how the season ended. Perfection.
When I was in high school, my marching band director showed this video to us. That was over 10 years ago, and I still watch this video when I need to gather my thoughts.
It's not everyone's cup of tea but it's impossible to deny the tone quality, technical ability and emotive playing of this hornline. They're pretty insanely good.
The conductor is Matt Harloff. He's one of the band directors at my old high school, Avon, IN. He was also Drum major for Star of Indiana (forgot which year) He always had fun with warmups.
Now if DCI corps would have moments in their shows like this throughout, as it used to be, the activity would be truly exciting again. Even through the computer this gives me chills. Nothing I have seen live in a long time has done as much, but even the weaker corps years ago could do this.
Every year since at least 2006 (my rookie year, can't speak before that, but I bet it goes back to Matt's first year in 03) they have done the same "around the line" tuning with a loud segment of the show after it. In 2009 we rotated the loud segments a few times before settling on one mid-season and riding it to the end.
loud parts literally felt like static electricity was building in the air.... only to realize it was the hairs on your body were vibrating from the epic soundwaves!
Over the past two years, you guys have have astounding brass warm-ups... This one knocks them all dead! *cries* THE MUSIC! UGH, I wish you guys luck; I know you're goin' far this season!
I wanna see every single learn this exact sequence, and sometime get every single member from every single core to stagger abd play this, it would be the best thing that ever happened.
I would have to disagree with you. If every corp had this awesome crown sound then DCI wouldn't be what it is. DCI is as incredible as it is because every corp has there unique sound. Crown sounds different from Cavies that sounds different from The Devils, which sounds different from the Cadets, which is different from Phantom. I agree having multiple corps like this would be invigorating but would take away from DCI as a whole in my opinon
oh wow... just... wow... Seriously, You can't bottle and sell that. There is some passionate control and maturity displayed by this hornline that has never been seen before. I'm expecting BIG things from Crown this year, very exciting.
Here's the thing. Do I Bleed Blue? Absolutely, I make no apologies for that. Although I'm not backing off my comments, if I offended anybody that was not my intent. I see it as a simple discussion. The Bottom Line is, if it gets kids, family members, spectators more interested in the activity, then I'm ALL FOR IT! ALL the kids in all the Corps work their butts off and sacrifice blood, sweat, and tears. And as an Alum. myself, I have mad respect for all of them.
I am currently in marching band in high school, and my band director shows us clips of this band. I guess as inspiration,so that we will want to be and sound that good
No because when do they play warm ups during their show? The step offs show when and who is breathing at a certain time so they can better their scatter breathing. They breathe every time they step.
The certainly of me waking up everyday is the same certainly I have towards a clean Crown cut-off. Note: I'm 23 years old and exercise mostly everyday.
Right, I was just hoping they'd keep the AST tag because it's quickly become my favorite and hopefully memorable because of a trophy by Aug. Probably just wishful thinking.
This year should be 1. Cadets Crown tie, 3. SCV, 4. PR, 5. BD. but the judges don't have the guts to do that. Someone at BD does favors for DCI judges. Everyone knows that.

You sir, hit the nail on the head.
E Don Smith: Awesome description. It too me back to the 70s, when playing a tuba was all I wanted to do.

Hell yeah. I want to time travel...
And loving every moment of it! ❤ God I miss these days.
Crossing fingers and toes that CC finally gets the Gold Medal they deserve this year.
This comment aged well.
Congrats crown, not only for their first title, but also for being the first corps in history to receive a perfect 20/20 in the brass category!!!!!!!!
Ill be honest, I am almost 50 years old and I cried a lot. The control and power is unlike anything I ever heard in my life.
Okay, when I heard BD space chords in the background at 2:16 then Crown blast over top of it made me that much happier how the season ended. Perfection.
Damn,,I almost forgot to watch this today..
It's 6 finals later and I still haven't forgotten
The way they respond to his direction is intense. Great musicianship.

1993.
@@jeffbassplays Thanks.
what a incredible horn line.I marched 77 Kingsmen and in my time this is the best hornline I have ever heard.
The fact that they can have that kind of tone playing at such a loud volume on such high notes never ceases to amaze me
The shear volume, tone and the fact that it is perfectly in tune at 2:55 makes that chord give me goose bumps.
I'm not ashamed to say this brought me to tears.
It must be so much fun to conduct such a powerful horn line
Chills every time I watch this. The command of tone sound volume and response is unreal!
nice sound!
I always loved this part before a show as a brass player it's a chance to show off a massive sound
just amazing absolutely one of the best horn lines Ive ever heard an through the years they just keep on getting better and better
looking at this video long enough and the instruments just look like blackholes distorting light around them which is pretty rad
I'm crying. This is beautiful. Thank you Carolina Crown. Thank you. Cheers!
The first time I listened to this, I was thinking, "Holy Mary, mother of ...!!!!"
Now if DCI corps would have moments in their shows like this throughout, as it used to be, the activity would be truly exciting again. Even through the computer this gives me chills. Nothing I have seen live in a long time has done as much, but even the weaker corps years ago could do this.
This is a segment of their show lol
Man those last 3 chords... Just... I have no words...
Greatest hornline ever!
Crown! Reach for it. It is there for your taking!
I just cried a little
My God this is beautiful. Thank you, Crown!

The way this guy conducts in addition to how the camera shakes when the light is blocked out is just so perfect lol
I get chills every single time.
Love those giant dischords near the middle and then the resolve. YEAH !
He's incredible
Over the past two years, you guys have have astounding brass warm-ups... This one knocks them all dead! *cries* THE MUSIC! UGH, I wish you guys luck; I know you're goin' far this season!
Very cool! The only Drum and Bugle Corps I knew of growing up was the Blue Coats out of Canton, Ohio. This is awesome!
I can do epic things listening to this.
I wanna see every single learn this exact sequence, and sometime get every single member from every single core to stagger abd play this, it would be the best thing that ever happened.

Arron Hester I agree completely. Music/art is about diversity!
Musical mastery!!!
This is fucking amazing, this was probably the best thing I've heard in my life.
oh wow... just... wow...
Seriously, You can't bottle and sell that. There is some passionate control and maturity displayed by this hornline that has never been seen before.
I'm expecting BIG things from Crown this year, very exciting.
The assistant band director for my marching band was part of this, and he lets us do this!!!
Absolutely awesome
Beyond amazing.
The best, emotional conductor ever, can't imagine conducting this force ever..Kick Ass in Indy Crown, it's your time.......
I think the crown brass is even stronger this year. hearing protection required.
Speechless
Beyond amazing!!!
ah, I didn't even see that this was a tuning video! You are correct.
Gave me goosebumps!
*perfect score on finals day.
Here's the thing.
Do I Bleed Blue? Absolutely, I make no apologies for that.

I want this guy to conduct everything!
I am currently in marching band in high school, and my band director shows us clips of this band. I guess as inspiration,so that we will want to be and sound that good
It’s all about those baritones at 2:31.
WHO WOULD JUST WALK BY THAT?
This is amazing
Inconceivable!
GOOSEBUMPS
Oh, Holy Shitttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt
Goodness fx#king gracious. Proficiency is the word
Best 2001 version ever
2:15 onward brings a tear to my eye
This better become their trademark warm up
No because when do they play warm ups during their show? The step offs show when and who is breathing at a certain time so they can better their scatter breathing. They breathe every time they step.
Sick.
Ill I have to say to all the bd fans hating on crown is "correction, correction" some of the best horn lines I've ever heard came from crown.
2:37. Those baritones...that attack....holy hell.
2:31 crown euphs 😩
When practicing show music, the steps are to practice and remind when to lead off in the drill. It helps the brain connect the music with the drill.
This made me laugh. Well done.
Out did BD in their own house at RCC. I'm from there.
I cannot FUCKING WAIT TO DO THIS
i would go to dci finals just to watch warmups.
My band director transcribed the tuning sequence, so we now play it..not nearly as well however , but it's still cool :)
If you do, I'd love to get it. Serious horn line and great sound.
Can you imagine this sequence on G bugles? Holy cow!
A weapon to surpass Metal Gear
Omg my band director did turn my brass line into a mini crown
HORNGASM!
My new ringtone is beginning at 2:22 for 10 seconds !
The certainly of me waking up everyday is the same certainly I have towards a clean Crown cut-off. Note: I'm 23 years old and exercise mostly everyday.
Now this is how to tune
i feel like ive heard this song before, what is it called?
headphones full volume = bleeding ears
Holy crap...
2:27 Chord though. Wow
Sweet Mary and Joseph
Woooooooooooooooooooo
Right, I was just hoping they'd keep the AST tag because it's quickly become my favorite and hopefully memorable because of a trophy by Aug. Probably just wishful thinking.
only a deaf person would dislike this video, and even then... they would have to be blind as well.
Holy crap
Who is this amazing instructor?
Matt Harloff.
+Skystorm16 THE Matt Harloff
woah
OMFG!
This year should be 1. Cadets Crown tie, 3. SCV, 4. PR, 5. BD. but the judges don't have the guts to do that. Someone at BD does favors for DCI judges. Everyone knows that.
WHOA
Wooow.
The AST tag, not the trophy. :)
What is the little step-thing that they do?
the lack of beats was impressive in those unison notes for each section in the beginning, not an easy thing to do
For the life of me, what song is that at 2:16? We've all heard it before and know every single note, but I forgot the song name lol
