This was so cool to watch! Me being a euphonium, I know how much air and endurance it takes to be playing this instrument in general. It's especially hard for me because I'm the smallest in my section and I'm only like 4'11 and am a sophomore in high school. I'm honestly so happy to see that there are some amazingly talented euphoniums in drum corps!
It’s 2021 now, I’m a senior and 2nd chair in my section. The pain of holding the baritone is something else. But it’s worth it especially when my directors brag on us saying, if we can hold our horns up everyone else can do the same w theirs
The more I watch these...the more I realise how I will mess up. My name will be “Goddamnit” by the time the big show comes around. This is amazing. Coming from South Africa this is a very very foreign experience and I love it.
Electr0 as a sophomore euphonium player you use a good amount of air but you get used to it because you would have been playing that instrument for a good amount of time by then
I find it so cool that these are great musicians performing in a very nice dome and when they are not playing they are just hanging out and talking and then the next second this man is shredding
That's what I was going to say....you know with our big bell size it's harder to see who is in front of you than the piccolo or clarinet or trumpet players!!! Right???
Pufflerate123 honestly at this point idek what note it actually is because some transcriptions say it’s an A, and some say Bb 😂. I guess it will be a mystery since we don’t have the actual original music
DCI has a rule every year that the winning corps has to pick a random number to yell throughout their encore run. When DCI looks back at these videos, if there is no audible confirmation that we yelled a number, then they kick that corps out of DCI. This year the random number we picked was 18. Funny enough, it wasn't random. 18 is the average age of our cymbal line so we decided to yell that for them. Has a lot of meaning to us at least.
im a freshman still and i can barely keep my baritone up for 3 minutes let alone euph. I aspire to be like you edit: i can hold it up for 5 now edit: i held it up for whole 10 min show ez !!!!
i remember my first day of band camp over the summer as a brand new baritone player and my arms kept dropping and would not go up. now, at the end of the season, i can hold that thing up for ten minutes straight with only minor struggles, literally mastered valves after a couple of weeks and now can play them fluently (my band doesn’t get to march trombones so i did baritone for marching with no previous experience at playing valves), get complements on my marching every day by so many amazing upperclassmen, i get called on for having the most promise by my section leader who’s gonna march in bk, hear that i’m the most likely to do dci out of all the freshman in my class(!), just took state from a band who had won for eight years in a row (state champs babyyyy), i’m in the best section (everyone agrees, the baritones/euphs are definitely our best section this year), and i’m told that i’m the best freshman baritone too. idk why i wrote all of this out, i’m just really excited and i need to let spill a little ego. i love marching band so much, i’m sad it’s over, but i’m also excited for concert band so i can get back to my trombone. i’m going to march euph next year. next marching season, our only senior is going away and we need to fill in another section leader spot. i’m going for it because the other section leader (the bk one, he’s a junior rn) says that he trusts me the most with our section, and the other junior isn’t interested in it, and neither are our sophomores. so i’m just competing with the other freshman at this point. in the end, our section leader who isn’t graduating yet will decide if we all do particularly well in auditions. but i think i’m gonna make it. let’s freakin do this! us bari freshies are gonna power through and be the best because low brass yeahhhh! let’s go do dci. it will be fun. hard, but fun. god, i love marching band. have a nice closure to your marching season and good luck with concert season! sorry for unloading my ego here lmao i don’t really do it in real life i just gotta get it out somewhere
@@dhdusidjdjso will do, if anything exciting happens :) thank you also if anything exciting for you happens, i also expect a full blown rant about how amazing you are ;)
@@dhdusidjdjso i’ll link our show here it is. unfortunately, i haven’t found the good camera recording of it, but this one is pretty good in the meanwhile.
What mouthpiece do you use on your marching horn? I still use the default one I got with the instrument from my school but I’m looking to buy a new one.
I play Trombone and recently I'm able to play euphonium because we don't have any for next year as our only euphonium is a senior this year so i get the high Honor of taking my buddy's instrument and play it. He's wished me luck and I'm doing great so far could never be this good however. I saw the 2019 show in person and was blown away.
I can’t wait to be doing that type of stuff because I’m a euphonium also but I’m the smallest kid in my section I’m like 5’7 and only 110 pounds and I’m trying work out to see if I can hold it longer bc it hurts holding it for long periods of time and do you have any idea on how to make your notes to come out good and what are ways I can practice to make them sound better?
bro i’m doing euph next year and i stopped growing. i’m 5’ 2”, roughy 100 lbs, and the smallest with asthma. idk why i want to do this but i totally am. i love marching band ack! do breathing exercises before you start warmups. they help a lot for me, at least. and yeah long tones, flexibility exercises, and articulation exercises are great. long tones are super boring so what i try to do is spice up the boring exercises and make them jazzy or something. run through fancy scales, or do a cool warm up. they’re really useful.
Does anyone have some good advice for euphonium Bc I switched from trumpet to euphonium and my teacher keeps calling me trash Bc I can’t read bass clef so it’s really bringing me down about being in band
It'a easy to learn bass clef if you just take the time and return to square one. Buy yourself one of those standards of excellence beginners books for bass clef euphonium from a music store and start "relearning" your instrument. It will feel tedious but if you go page by page you will learn it and learn it well. You're not relearning how to play, just a new set of note names.
When I first started I made flash cards with the note on one side and on the other the note name and fingering ( I know flash cards are lame but they really helped)
As a high school euphonium how do I get a chance to join blue devils? I'd be honored and commited to the first chance I get but still how do I become a part of your ensemble?
Being a part of any drum corps whether it be DCI or DCA is an amazing opportunity. Do some research on drum corps' styles, locations, member dues and schedules and then make a decision from there on which one you want to take part in. Purchase the audition packets on the corps' website that come out every year during the Fall and start practicing every day to perfect it. Go to the audition and show off what you can do!
a euphonium gets bigger throughout the instrument. A baritone waits till closer to the bell to get bigger. A euphonium also might have a little bit of a bigger bell. They have slightly different sounds too.
aaron stevenson drum corps’ accept extra members just in case someone were to get injured or has to leave. They rehearse but don’t march during shows unless necessary.
Marching euphoniums are Bass Flugelhorns. Sousas arent commonly used in Dci from what ive seen. They use Contra's which in my opinion are cooler. Contras are contrabass cornets.
@@aidanshake3326 I see. Ergo, octave below the baritone. I thought they were bass tubas in double B-flat. They sound just like them. Also, judging by the voice, the true contrabass tuba is in triple B-flat.
Bass Flugelhorn exists in the form of a Fiscorn. Marching Euphoniums are just marching euphoniums, that’s it. Called tenor tuba sometimes in older literature but that’s what they are. Contras are NOT Contrabass cornets. In the modern World, Contra is literally short for Contrabass Tuba.
Musta been harder than the actual finals run with the weight of all those medals weighing you down haha. Great job man! Keep it up Devils!
First three seconds “i have a gun”, that’s how you know it’s bouta be a good run

I have never seen someone get as hype to play long notes as me and this is awesome

I feel bad that he didn’t get to do trombone
Trombone part is amazing
At least he gets to do walking bass parts for the jazz part
I’d be willing to bet they gave the trombone mains the thing and some euphs the trombone feature, but I don’t actually know.
In my marching band if we talk or scream we get yelled at but it's really fun so it's worth a couple minutes of not talking 😂
Well, this is dci lol
This is a victory run
Nice, I'm not a euphonium so I don't know how much air you have to use, must be hard to run and play
Electr0 as a sophomore euphonium player you use a good amount of air but you get used to it because you would have been playing that instrument for a good amount of time by then
Oh it is
It’s not as hard as trombone I heard
@@ferretking0417 23 pounds? what kinda euphoniums you marching? our contras weigh 30
Your right but tubas are harder
It’s criminal to not have all low brass doing that trombone feature I feel like
they probably took everyone that knew how to play trombone cuz otherwise tuning would be bad
At 0:03 someone says they have a gun. GET DOWN!!! And 18!!!!!!!!!!!!
I swear I heard a Bluecoat 2013 reference in the opener lmfao

Euphonium Squad Right Here 🤩🤩🤩
We used those same euphs at my high school. And no matter how much oil you use, the valve would stick just like in the video
I'm starting to think that's an issue with all marching euphs cuz every single one I have had has had bad valves
@@demigr0539 for some reason no matter how much I oil mine my valves suck. But my friends is soo smooth

When DCI looks back at these videos, if there is no audible confirmation that we yelled a number, then they kick that corps out of DCI. This year the random number we picked was 18.

Jack Denger Bluecoats yelled 6 in 2016
Tyler Wilson the corps can actually get kicked out for not yelling the number?
this sounds fake enough for me to question it but not too unrealistic for me to do further research
That’s what happened to star of Indiana

Cade Faulk i think it’s supposed to signify bees around you, or something that flies because the theme of this is taking flight
I’m pretty sure it might be making fun of blue coats 2016 cuz they did the same thing (but actually in line)
It was part of the choreography because they were playing flight of the bumblebee so they shook their legs as if they were trying to get bees away

In the video is a System Blue but i prefer the Dennis Wick series of mouthpieces.

Baritone is in treble and bass clef. You can try and see if your teacher can get you treble clef music
Same but I'm improved now
I started euphonium on treble mainly because of the fact that with bass clef after middle Bb, there are a lot of ledger lines
What kind of mouthpiece is that?
It is very cool. I also play the baritone instrument but my lips can't vibrate and it's very hard to lift the instrument.
