More DCI content would be awesome 🫂
WGI Percussion is next 😈
Drum corps is not much a recruiting or graduate process, you try out and pay to be in one of the many corps
wait until he hears how all of these people on the field are in between the ages of 16 and 22
@teabitter, 22? When I watched DCI long ago, the "age out" was 21.
@jimgreen5788 I marched a season of world class myself. The ageout is classified as 21. You can march at 22 if your birthday is after June 1st.
@@teabitter, oh yeah. I forgot that little technicality. Thanks.
"the bongo guys" LMAO
I can tell this is his absolute FIRST time witnessing DCI. 🤣
It's like a theatrical take on traditional marching bands, but highlighting the drum lines at signficant moments of the piece. The sound in person is amazing. I like the barcode on their uniforms; it adds a nice touch.
Do you know what the barcode is supposed to represent? Or is it just a tiny touch to detail
@@mxtty5633 it's just an easter egg! members who have scanned the uniforms found it just says "babylon". i like to believe it's another play on the story of the tower of babel, with the barcode representing god's obscurity of language. but that's just a theory :)
@@wholegrain1092 a drum corps theory!
What he says is true. You cannot appreciate this from video. It is great.... but it is at a completely different level in person. The sound is big enough to fill a 70,000 seat stadium, so it impacts you physically and emotionally with the force and magnitude.
If you ever get a chance to see a DCI competition in person, do not miss it. It is a unique and wonderful experience.
The show is about a society that has lost ability to speak. The first song is about them basically screaming at each other and trying to compete for leadership. Think of each brass section (trumpets, mellophones, tubas, baritone) as a group in this society. It goes into battle for leadership of society. Then goes into ballades where the two baritones on each side of field figure out how to communicate on same level and the entire group snaps and figures it out. , then a dance club party and then think of tubas trying to take control but the mellophones (horns) come up the middle and stop them and final reunion of beginning two dancers and society as a whole.
Ive never heard what the actual story is for this show, thank you
Well put ..👏
i love how he called tenor drums the "bongo guys" 🤣🤣 using that from now on
This is definitely a crash course in the almost 50 year evolution of a modern art form. The Santa Clara Vanguard are just one of MANY corps that have contributed to the transformation from traditional marching band to this here. The fundamentals of precision and discipline are still there, but coupled with modern design/techniques. While it is a competitive sport it really is its own art form.
this activity was quite intentionally formed to embody the military ceremonial units it is named after, and was **never** intended to be the same as marching band in its origin concept. Those men wanted other young men (later women also) to be able to share the joy, satisfaction, and challenge of performing in that sort of setting understanding that it wouldn't be for all young musicians, with it's stricter uniform concept, military style drill (as opposed to just making shapes like bands do), etc.
Some reasonable and expected evolution was going to take place, but the abandoning of actual UNIFORMS in favor of costumes and in the process the vanishing of headgear are something that is sort of a slap in the face of the founders. 2018 SCV at least had a big V and their corps insignia. 2022 they were absolutely NOT the Vanguard, aside form excellent marching and musical performance.. They could have been ANYONE out there with that white on white crap and nothing reflecting their heritage.
Addition of the Orchestral pit was something that took getting used to, but was clearly only *enhancing* the Percussion element of the activity. That and saving the back of anyone trying to march Timpani drums around. Synthesizers have ZERO business in a musical performance that is supposed to be about Brass and Percussion [thus no woodwinds as in marching band]. An actual Piano would count as percussion, but there's nothing but artificial sound in a synth.
The proliferation and now obscene over use of amplification of the entire performance is just indefensible [soloists are fine, especially in a cavern like L.O.S.]. It is laziness at it's worst.
Also, these irritating as hell long voiceovers/narrations destroy the entire imagination/mood of many of the musical numbers - "Waking The Dragon" 2022 as a perfect example. If your show REQUIRES a detailed ongoing explanation of what you're doing, then it is a program that does NOT belong in D&BC. Hell, that would be lame in Bands of America shows.. See "White Whale" 2023 for en excellent example of minimal voiceover, at only 3 points of show, with minimal wording, all of which serves to help enhance/set the mood, not explain in detail the story being told.
this @@ZakhadWOWis a voice echoing from the past.
No matter how you gown up these groups, they possess the skill sets inherent to this activity.
If Drum Corps International changed the rules tomorrow, everyone would adhere to those new rules.
You can see it with the bluecoats 2016 show too. The whole “no shako” thing really caught on.
This guy’s analogies are amazing! 😂
“This song feels like I’m late for the train.”
“This one is like I’m drinking a beer during a sunset.”
“I’m not the best person to judge this” proceeds to sound like an average ge judge tape
actually so fax
You nailed it when you said, "Elite-level." This is leaps ahead of anything I ever imagined playing when I was in high school marching band. This corps and the ones like it create Art in the purest sense of the word. Thank you for taking on the challenge of experiencing something completely foreign.
I was there that night, the energy radiating from the crowd, we all lost it at the snap. It’s one thing to watch the video, but it’s on an entirely different level to be there in person
So this show is and isn't hard to follow. If you know the biblical telling of Babylon this show is based on that. The way I interpreted the show is the Chaotic music are the different languages being yelled at. The Breaking News/2nd movement to sounds like the languages trying to align melodically. You even have the soloists doing a similar rhythmic call to each other like they're trying to speak the same language. The ballad the duet starts to gesture at each other with the visual motif we've seen throughout the show. The drum break is them realizing they can communicate using visual language and that brings the world/corps/society together at the end. That's how i took it upon my first viewings live that season.
Thats how I view it
Hey @ItsMatthewReacts, Drum Corps has been an activity that once originated as Boy Scout or Police troops to bring youth together and help them keep out of trouble, learn discipline and perform primarily in parades. In 1972, Drum Corps International formed and Corps’ through the world formed groups to bring performers from all over the world to go on tour and compete throughout most of the United States and sometimes Canada. A 11:00 show takes about 9 months of preparation and rehearsal, students go on tour from early June to the second week of August while rehearsing in all environments, in the heat, in the humidity, the cold, in the snow, etc. on average they practice roughly 1,300 hours per season. And the goal for most performers aged 16-21 set a goal of marching in the DCI Finals (top 12 in the world). Finals draws roughly 25,000 people, but the performers compete in several states, historic venues and in front of thousands of fans throughout the summer all while living on Charter Buses and sleeping on gymnasium floors. I marched with the Colts Drum and Bugle Corps (Baritone) in 2000 and 2001. I also spent 6+ years in the U.S. Army and DCI was by far much more challenging in a physical sense than the military.
I love how he calls the quads bongo guys and he calls the tubas, trombones
Drum Corps like this one have very high standards in their recruiting procedure. Often with multiple audition rounds you'd have to get trough before they give you a spot. There are more people wanting to join than there are spots available, so you have to be really good to earn a spot. Both musically and physically you have to be in great condition to be able to pull this off.
I have never genuinely laughed so much at a DCI reaction. Not saying I was laughing at you, just that your reaction was so entertaining and I thoroughly enjoyed evey minute of it. Thank you, and I will definitely be checking out more.
"They're out here creating trap music!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Coordinated mess with dancers, and bongo guys!!
Just a little pronounciation thing: The P and S in the singular Corps are supposed to be silent. Only in the plural you say the S at the end. The P is always silent in this word. So you should pronounce it like:
- one Drum Core
- multiple Drum Cores
damn french military terms confusing everyone!
We will never get to watch something like this show ever again. Thank you VSC.
When you talk about it being confusing but beautiful, you, my friend, are experiencing "effect."
Effect is what all higher American art is about. How is it possible to bring out emotions in someone completely independent of familiar forms. Stories? You can have them but there must be something else, something otherworldly and awe inspiring that makes you feel like a stranger to the world again, and inspires wonder. That is what drum corps is for.
It would be awesome if you could check more of these out!!!
Some great shows are any Carolina Crown show 2012-2018
and
Bluecoats 2014-2016
Welcome to the fan club my man. You’ve now entered down the rabbit hole. One that will be very, very, very be a very, very awesome experience.
The chaos you think you’re hearing and seeing is the most impressive aspect of this show. Everything is so calculating and planned and they are DIALED on this run
As someone who has met the Santa Clara Vanguards drumline in person I feel like i can say that I have never seen a drum corp drumline with more dedication. Also Carl is a real nice guy, they are all very imposing at first but most of them are just like your average college kid. lol
Total lack of accurate musical/visusl technical vocabulary, yet awesomely perceptive emotional response to the general effect.
"Like the feeling of missing my train".
"Like drinking a beer in the sunset".
Like drinking a beer in the sunset. I love it.
you made me laugh so many times dude keep doing what you're doing
This level of performance is outstanding.
This show is complex. To see a show to understand: cavalier 2004, 007 show.
Even in Holland and UK you have had good "high level" ensembles.
The beginning is supposed to make you feel lost because it is a chaotic show :)
Late to your party, here. Drum Corps age limit is 21. The majority of participants are university music majors, but this is completely separate from the educational system. Most corps start their season with weekend sessions starting in January or February, with the competition season running from June to the 2nd weekend of August.
"Corps" (pronounced core) has nothing to do with "corporation." It is a body of people engaged in the same activity, as in 'the press corps.' Drum and bugle corps have been around for many years in the U.S. They started as paramilitary organizations and spread into the Boy Scouts. Today, most all are privately run organizations, but a very few are operated through schools. Competitions are fierce, and the rehearsal schedules are intense and grueling. Unless it is a senior or all-age corps, a member "ages out" at 21 and can no longer be a member. Check out some of the older videos (1960s - early 70s) to see how the activity has changed and evolved. Anaheim Kingsmen was the first Drum Corps International champion in 1972. It's worth a watch!
Ok so let me help you sir. The music here is hand written based on a concept. The kids here are 17-21 years old. They have to try out for it. They actually pay for the tour. I don't know how much it is now but for me in the 80's it was about 5k. The hardest thing I have ever done in my life. I did it for 3 years. This is NOT marching band. It is it's own thing which is "Professional Marching". This particular show won this year the DCI World Championships. No small feat.
"it's like beautiful as well, somehow" 8:35
i am a veteran of the
Santa Clara Vanguard
Drum and Bugle Corps
The 'corps' part does not stand for corporation, but instead stands for corps as in the body representing a military group.
We are a paramilitary competing organization that has existed since 1967 in a competition format that has existed essentially since the end of the first world war.
In my day you had to be under 23 and you had to have money or a sponsorship to pay for everything. And it was the best of the best of the best performers period, even if you had the money you had to be the best. And the other commenters already mentioned some great Corps to watch. They all have their different genres from Jazz to Rock to Theater, like SVC..And they all tell a story with song n dance.
The age limit for DCI is still there. DCA is all age.
The age limit is there but it's not 23 it's 22
this is a highly competative activity. I auditioned for them this past year with 9 years of experience and got cut lmfao
To answer your question about the recruiting process - it has evolved over the last 50 years to a very sophisticated process involving a recruiting pool the size of the globe. Musicians can now upload their audition videos by the several hundreds to try to get in to some of these top corps.(pronounced 'core')
They glean the finest talent from the high school bands, college bands, and music schools across America and frankly the world.
It's more of an art form, with constantly changing speed, music and moods. Order out of chaos, perhaps. You have to be 21 or younger to audition, and many of the kids do in fact march with their high school or college bands during the school year and then march drum corp in the summer. They tour the country and get to perform in many towns and states. Many are studying to become music instructors themselves. Here's a fun two minute example of the things they do on tour. th-cam.com/video/WJyAamANKoA/w-d-xo.html Not good for review though, just interest or curiosity
Saw this at an early season show at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena....even those of us up in the Blue Devils alum seating block knew it was a monster program...we weren't that surprised when we got beat/
Coordinated chaos
BRO YOU NEED TO SEE THE CLAW CAM FOR THIS SHOW, THAT DUDE IS INSANE
So the reason for the mysterious and convoluted first half is because the production is about the story of Babylon and how the city tore itself apart before coming back together.
Really excellent musicians/marchers/color guard people audition to get into the corps-- it's very competitive! They practice at the beginning of summer and then go on tour around the US competing with each other. It's amazing, as you can see!
Bad trip and bongo guys ..pmsl..
It's actually pronounced "Core"
The "ps" is silent
The field is a canvas and art is created with music added. Theater( ballet) on the field with the musicians participating.
I have yet to find a reaction vid where someone doesn’t talk over the soloist features
Love how you had no idea what was happening. It's insanity for sure
My band director was in this show !!
Crazy how they won. Back in the day they were for people trying to get into the World class Corps. My friend was in the hord line back in early 2000s and it helped him get into BD A.
"early 2000s" dude they won in 99
Been a contender since the 80s.
"Back in the day....", smh.....SCV won American Legion '70, VFW '71, DCI '73, '74, '78, '81, '89, '99, '18... Hon, we were and still ARE "World Class".
@@gabrielpearson More like the '70s. We won our first American Legion Nationals in '70 at the ripe old age of 4. The rest is history...
You should watch 2004 Cavaliers Drum and Bugle Corps, they take a famous movie soundtrack and put it on the field in an extremely entertaining way!
"Oh, there's more." Oh, yes. Yes, there is.
You should try another corp, like the Blue Devils, the Cavaliers, to get a better idea of what this is all about. The band is judged in several categories to include the brass section, percussion section, color guard which includes the flags and the rifles. It’s very competitive and these young people work very hard. I have a granddaughter who marched with the Carolina Crown Drum Corp and I love watching and have tremendous respect for these youngsters for the hard work and dedication to their music.
This is comprised of kids between 14-21, though a lot more are on the adult side, and it takes place over the summer everyday while your not eating or sleeping for maybe a month, and then you go on tour to different cities across America till champs in august in Indiana where you either are practicing, eating, sleeping, bussing, or at a show. College marching band practices, and even high schools, will do band camps where it’s about 1-2 weeks of daily practice, but not where u sleep in a gym right next to the field(at most housing sites). It’s fun though 10/10 recommend the experience
Consider this next video of a marching band but during the mess of 2020 when you couldn't play a wind instrument. No football but some schools found ways for the marching bands to still have their class time. Enjoy! th-cam.com/video/S7IfrdgV4PY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=DM8jz0P65x5m6ug0
Yo my dude, Corps pronounced /Kor/ in this situation does not mean Corporation, It's used in the way that Marine Corps, uses it. a body of people engaged in a particular activity. Also if this comes off assholish, not my intention.
😈😈😈and so it begins
Like drinking a beer in a sunset
"The bongo guys" lmao. For real though... this country does a lot of things wrong, but we also do a lot of things really really right too.
My man has never heard of the story of the Tower of Babel and it shows lol
Mellophones carried this performance
true
Want a great show that really shows off the parts of a drum corps? I HIGHLY recommend The Cadets 2007 "This I Believe".
You can listen first, and figure it out later
I want you to watch bluecoats 2022, the first time I watch it in person it felt like I was high as fuck.
Trust me man it’s not messy, you just don’t understand it
You have to watch bluecoats 2022 program riffs and Revelations
Trap music 😂
Should do bluecoats, I was a part of that group 👀👀
It sounds like he doesn’t know what’s going on
Matthew, these members are actually between 16 and 21, and we say 'core' for corps, strangely enough. Sadly, although I'd have liked to watch the video, I gave up when I fast forwarded, and found the the volume was never turned up to where I could hear the music.
it's because corps is a french word pronounce core and it's like a section of an army or smth
@@tyronium2 , absolutely correct.
Perhaps you should have been directed to watch high school marching bands and worked your way up to this later on.
Check out blue coats 2023 garden of Love
You should watch blue devils 2012 and lose your mind
I’m begging you to watch phantom regiment 2023
It's pronounced "Core". Spelled Corp.
Tower of Bable.............
babylon probably shouldn’t be the first dci show he see’s😭😭
DCI is kind of like a revers NFL it actually costs the people that do it thousands of dollars to participate in it but they are the most dedicated people to marching bands practicing 13 hours a day for weeks until they start the tour then they cut down to 6 hours a day and sorry but I have to correct how you are pronouncing it, it’s doesn’t make since but the p is silent so it’s pronounced drum core the way you are saying it is actually a dead human body English doesn’t make since I know I just cringe every time you say it with the P because it congers up a very different image in my head lol
its pronounced cores
These are not songs, they are pieces. AKA Jazz.
Trap music...lol.. definitely not trap. I live in Atlanta, the birth home of Trap and hate it so much. It call it a jam session with weird dance choreography. lol.
Yes, they have many characteristics of a “band”, but this is a drum and bugle corps, marching percussion and brass ensemble, with a dance/gymnastic “color guard” which uses rifles, flags and other implements. A band it is not. However, your repeated comment of “what’s going on?” reflects how many feel about this era of drum corps in general and this performance in particular. The talent and performance skills are undeniable, but the entertainment factor is questionable at best. The only exception in this show is the finale, which brings simple musical and visual effects that are extremely entertaining to the average viewer.
This was the fan favorite that year. The audience was ready for SCV to win gold again after a 20 year break. Doesn’t matter, they may not be back
How are you not reacting to the NFL Scouting Combine that is going on right now? It's live on NFL network.
I was lost too. I expected a DRUM corps and not a band performance. I didn’t even finish the video. The performance was a mess.
There are much better videos which feature only drums.
That's because you're really stupid.
Lol this performance was far from a mess. This is drum corps (drum and bugle corps) you also won't find many better percussion sections than SCV
scv has the best drum line in the world
Theatre on the football field; Instead of there just being dancer that perform to the music the whole band participants creating art on the field. Seeing it live is beautiful. Watching the kids creating the sound in front of you is mindblowing. The musical piece is a brass piece called Journey to the Center of the Earth by Peter Graham. You can youtube it and watch the brass band play during a performance in a concert hall( not marching).
@@Peccos technically as of this past summer the Bluecoats do :)
