The intensity of this book is unreal. Nobody's playing this at a powerhouse level while still maintaining a nice full well rounded sound like the cadets.
My High School teacher Mr. Gall teaches these guys... They were at the Stadium my district uses called "Memorial Stadium" Very impressive performance, and if they keep these notes up I might wanna join :)
dkeller20m - By deal breaker I was referring to the placement falling between them and Crown. Maybe CrownPit outdid the Cadets. Maybe politics, maybe CrownDrums had cleaner runs. Maybe the judges got tired of Colin's writing that year.
Think about the other factors such as musical assimilation with the brass and as an ensemble how it blends as well. You can easily have complete separation between brass and percussion books at vital times where they need to be somewhat similar. Colin's writing is more aggressive and technically difficult than other corps, but each corps tries to have the wonderful balance of parts that flow with the horn-line; plus separate parts that add color to the whole ensemble, and finally the achievement/cleanliness of all the parts at the finals. For example: Crown played their beats hella clean and the parts were "written" for the horn-line in a sense, but the book difficulty was lower than that of bd, bc, cadets, and scv. There are gives and takes for each corps focus and main goal
It goes the other way too. Crown 2013's book supported the brass really well, but was noticeably easier and dirtier than other lines, both those they placed behind and ahead of. And keep in mind it's a PERCUSSION score. The front ensemble is considered in the percussion score too, and that's probably why Crown's percussion placed as high as they did that year.

6th place line. Now compare this to the 2013 6th place line. That's how much deeper DCI lines have gotten since then.
One of my favorite lines this year!
5:58-6:06 is just madness! Thanks Vic for another great video.
I'm starting to get to the age where I see these guys as kids 😭 but this book is fucking awesome
shout out to the old school SCV exercise....
When I hear the cadets
First thought
Big chops

kdatgg did you ever join
Really cool
oh shit waddup cadets
what foul memery is this
0:36 2019 Crown snares thought they were hot when they opened with singles like that TWICE LOL
What GoPro mount is he using? Anyone know?
Really sad that this amazing drumline got 6th in drums. They deserved much better tbh
Akmed Man - Well, it was percussion. Maybe the pit was a deal breaker?
hell no. CPit is never the problem. i'm thinking more politics than anything.

GOD those fake flams!
It’s not all about notes...but these guys pay a ton of them.
Lol are they not allowed to take their shirts off
Knowing the cadets .. probably not
lol true
They were most likely at a housing site with a dress code. Which sucks.
it messes me up when they march because they start with their right foot
0:15 I feel like Boston Crusaders copies this part in the drum feature
It's the same writer
@@ebach615 that’s exactly what I was thinking
The amount of notes these dudes are throwing down and getting 6th in drums shows how rigged the system is

Drums isn't a caption. That can also be taken into account
they obviously meant percussion, you don't have to be a smartass about it.
And then you hear Scv and it's like "oh... That's why"

Those quad drums with just one 8 inch Spock lock ugly to me
Robbed of a sanford😒
