- Blue Devils hornline 2014 Space Chords warmup at DCI semi-finals, Indianapolis, IN, August 8, 2014. Stay tuned for Blue Devils 2015 DCI Finals warmup! Not a binaural recording, but hard not to capture somewhat of a 3D stereo sound, being surrounded by brass players! No ASMR here, but chills are likely.
Also, see Blue Devils International Corps (BDI) performing with Top Secret Drum Corps at the 2015 Basel Tattoo:

At some point you gotta say screw it, and then listen to it full volume with your nicest headphones and almost die of thrill :)
Being inside it live was a live changing experience... holy shit it was awesome
Perfect editing choice to keep camera on John's conducting. I hate how most warmup videos give so little camera time to conductor. That's where all the visual action and emotion is. Win.
This is eerily perfect with that solo!!
no man should have all this power
Nothing gives me a tremendous amount of goosebumps like BD Space Chords does.
You can not buy this level of power.
No matter who you are.
This is priceless.
I go through about 15 different emotions every damn time! And every single time, I get watery-eyed and short of breath the last 20 seconds. GAH!
Easily the best recording of Space Chords on TH-cam.
***** Thanks a ton!!
No problem man, it's all you! HornlineFanatic
I can't stop listening. Every single time is pure bliss
Whenever I feel down, I listen to this... it lifts me up... and I play percussion... snare.
Coincidence: I just had BD’s 2014 ballad going through my head
I've never been so satisfied in my life
I'm sure John's dad (Jack) is super proud of what "Space Music" has become. We played with it back in the 80s when I marched with John under the instruction of Wayne and Jack. Jack had such a passion for making our noise resonate. John has carried it to an incredible level. Excellent work, my friend...!!!
The best ever space chords of the Blue Devils.
99.650
Someone really needs to do a retrospective vid of as many versions we can find since John's father first brought it to BD. It's changed a LOT since I was in the corps.
man this gives me chills every time, and i've watched both versions at least 4 times each.
When I marched I loved the goosebumps and watching this gave me the goosebumps! Love it
I get goosebumps every time I watch this!
Nice warmup montage; it still amazes me how good this hornline was this season.
Should start every morning with this and your day cannot go wrong!
This gets me so hype, I love it so much :D
THANKS HornlineFanatic, very nicely done! As a member of '80 Spirit, I especially appreciate the "Ott Street," sign. That did not go unnoticed, nice and deserved touch. Jim set a standard in Concord and Atlanta. A very high standard. With all due respect to the corps I competed against, and they are due much, our hornline being able to compete with BD meant we were doing something right. I do love me some Blue Devils!
+gpbd11 When I passed that sign, I knew I had to get it on camera. I also managed to sneak that clip into a Spirit vid as well! :) I've listened to quite a bit of the Spirit recordings posted by Roy Perez. You guys made some incredible music, and Jim's writing/instruction was cutting-edge. Thanks for watching and for performing!!
this literally gave me chills.
literally just perfect
WoW!! This knocked me out of my chair!
I am crying tears of joy
SIMPLY THE BEST!!!!
Magical!
Those last three notes are something else
Chill bumps!!!!
I expected a nice run of a Felliniesque segment, then whhhoooaaaaaaaaaa
This brass lot is iconic
Wish their was a video of them just playing the ballad. It’s beautiful.
AWESOME WARM UP! ******
1:56 mellos with that high c damn
is it possible for this not to give me chills
every rehearsal we do this warm up and multiple other blue devils warm ups because on of our instructors was in blue devils, 2 were in the Cadets and one is currently in the bluecoats
Great audio!
Thanks Quinlen! Getting a great recording of Space Chords has been a huge goal of mine. Hope I achieved that.
HornlineFanatic you damn well achieved it that was beautiful.
I gotta remind myself to get to their warmup next year
once a month, i'll be back for this video
Freaking awesome
I think I like listening to BD warm ups more than some shows
Holy cow !!!
We did that in 79. With G horns. It was over the top !!!
jimisback With Blue Devils? Any recordings?
No! I played Spirit Of Atlanta , Contra. I wish I had recordings of our warmups. There are some on TH-cam. Not the best quality recordings but still cool.
jimisback What a great time to be in the activity, and also with SOA. Thanks for sharing. Several months ago, I gave a pretty long listen to Roy Perez's 1979 recordings of Jim Ott's instruction, as well as some of the hornline member auditions, and I also read a lot of comments from people describing what it was like to hear SOA for the first time during those years.
About the quality, to paraphrase a comment I read elsewhere, the technology existed for great recordings...even in 1979...and it's a real shame there weren't more. At least Mr. Ott had the good sense to capture some hornline sounds in stereo...more than we can say for a lot of hornline recordings even today. Otherwise, I'll be happy w/ a crap quality recording if I can get a detailed first-person account from someone who was actually there. Got any links to a vintage 70s or 80s space chords recording?
HornlineFanatic Wish I did man. No recordings of the space cord. Roy may have one. He has loads of stuff from what I have see. I got hurt the first week of tour that year and Jim Ott made me stand infront of the arc. It was BRILLIANT ! It took months for the goose bumps to go away. BD was also my fav. corps. Other than Spirit. Man I miss those days.
jimisback Someday soon, when the novelties of clarinet features, oboes solos, vocal solos with auto-tune, and even entire-hornline-DJing-on-iPad gimmicks have worn off in DCI, I predict that some rebellious corps will strip out the electronics, shed a valve or two, and give audiences a taste of the DCI G bugle sound again. You read it here. I'm calling it now. A "#Throwback" show is coming...and it will be the talk of the season, the GE score will be over the top, it'll get standing ovations every night, and I will definitely be capturing every sound I possibly can from that hornline.
My daughter is wondering why I'm yelling in the living room.
god dammit bd... i love you
Love how it pans over to see the lead player release and stop squatting a little after everyone else
@hornlinefanatic Can someone tell me, what's the magic behind space chords? How they use harmonics in that way! Amazing
Mahhh godddddd
This is my JH/HS band warmup
What do you use for audio? Man your video quality is amazing!
Jose Reyes Thanks! I am using Rode mics in all of my videos, but as I have told others, there are lots of great options out today and the best choice depends on what you want to acheive, as well as your budget. Also, it's not only about the equipment used. Other factors such as the capture settings (format, dynamics, etc..) as well as the codec of the uploaded video are critical.
Wow
One of my favorites... There's just something about this that just gives me goosebumps. Is there somewhere I can download the audio of this?
This reminded me of "The Monsters are Due on Maple Street". XD
Wow! That guy can absolutely scream on the trumpet. Can barely hear it, though it sounds like a double C...
Amped!
At 1:43 its pure magic.
1:46 that resolution. Every time. In every video.
Either it was an overtone or I heard a double C in there somewhere.
I have an annual opportunity to see BD live at Stanford for DCI West. Typically, when would BD perform space chords, before the BBQ, at the BBQ or before performing in the show itself later in the evening? And thanks… this is a fabulous recording!
Thanks! Regarding your question, I really have no clue. I've never been to DCI West. But I'll bet someone like 1Blueblood1 knows.
Thanks man, anyway. I love your posts. I'm a long time(back to 1963) drum corps fan. Never marched. Space Chords is such a cool warm up. Don't know why I find it so inspirational. Love your posts.
***** We usually don't perform it at Stanford(did in 13 at rehearsal) but always do at riverside!
1:47 was so godly
Do they own that routine of doing space chords or if we wanted to could I try teaching it to my brass section?
in case you haven't found out in a year's time, yes you absolutely can. I'm not sure where you can find it, but it's definitely out there. We did this exact routine in my hs marching band a couple years ago.
What's the ditty the trumpet player is playing? Really like it and want to learn it.
It is his solo from their 2014 show--an excerpt from the ballad.
+HornlineFanatic their 2014 show was amazing
Space Chords on muh birthday
How do space chords work?
Pick a note. Finger=louder, no finger=softer
😱😱😱😱😱😱😱
do they tour?
What are they playing in the beginning?
1:44
And a trumpet held over. Go figure
That's the point, yes. Holding over the highest partial is a stylistic choice.
Never heard of Hunter Moss of of Spirit of Atlanta, have you?
sam signorelli Actually, I would've been guilty as charged myself. Just looked him up on the BHOF page. I may head up to DCA finals this weekend to catch some hornlines. Wonder if he's performing w/ Atlanta CV this year.
HornlineFanatic
I think he still is. I made a point to seek him out after 04 finals (I was DM for SoCal Dream that year...our first year out to DCA) and tell him how much I admired his work over the years, especially since I competed against him in 84.
Nice guy...very gracious.
sam signorelli I completely agree. Hunter is a legend. Right up there w/ Brady and Kievat imo. Not surprising at all to hear he's a humble, gracious guy. Most of the real greats are.
Every hair on my body stands up at 1:42
Who knew metals like copper and zinc could be measured in decibels.
how was this recorded?
I work with marching bands, and would love to know the mic array/position here
Makes the hair on my arms go crazy. Just saying. :)
:')
"that's not the ballad" lmaoo
