I freakin' melt every time I hear that opening hit. So gorgeous.
Could you say... your heart skips a beat?
Purplewarrior49 Gaming yes
Purplewarrior49 Gaming I love that
It's so wholesome
Discount PK Fire Main I might be a Bloo fan, but this opener is amazing
When FloMarching is taking down all the DCI videos, so the corps post their own shows
😂

He’s having a lot of fun. That’s the whole point
Listen, I'm not exactly a BD fan, but I don't think anyone can disagree that this show was absolutely fantastic. Bravo.
IMO the best BD show of the 2010s
@@seanpease370 wrong
@Keanan definitely 17!
@@ez8308 metamorph was absolutely phenomenal
It’s so hard not to be a bd fan sometimes 😂
we need more of these closers in dci. closers that are a reprise of the opener, it just makes the closer sound more grand than a different closer.
The Bluecoats did it in 2017

Phantom this year did a beautiful job reprising the opener

Why is this right

“So when is your ballad?”
Blue Devils: “ *yes* “
I think their ballad is the entire show lmao. really love the melody to the show.
@@franksullivan9091 yes, that is the point of the original comment
@@clarkfitzgerald8814 would've never guessed
@@franksullivan9091 that's a bit redundant. Dont you think?
I have a ballad tournament going on my dci account on Instagram and I have no clue when the hell the ballad is
RIP Burt Bacharach who passed away yesterday. One of the greatest modern composers 💙
My dad introduced me to the music of Burt Bacharach as a little kid. My dad passed in 2011 (I just realized the same year as this show), and when I saw this, I couldn't stop playing it, and I couldn't stop crying. Oh, I wish I had 12 more minutes with my Dad so we could hear this together.
First DCI show I ever watched live. Will never forget the song from 5:58 to 7:00 , it will always be my first impression of Drum Corps.
Being introduced to DCI in 2011 the best year DCI has ever had.
RepubliqueHelvetique I love Carolina Crown 2011

Ah the “road to Damascus” moment. Mine was in 1995 when BD came out of the fog at Santa Barbara City College playing that Carpe Noctem show. This 2011 show is the last great one for me. I hope 2023 can reach this.

Yessir
Bruh
there’s just so much heart and soul throughout, but especially at 10:53 to the end. so beautiful with the soloist
It literally sounds like he’s singing through his trumpet, it’s amazing
One of the few years where the DCI community actually liked the production Blue Devils had.
and it didn’t even win ;(
john chamberlain it’s because they went for something that’s actually good instead of just checking the judge’s rubrics
Hunter Alexander quit hating. Just because this corps consistently outperforms every other does not mean you have to hate their show designs for not playing the SAME things High School bands across the country perform every year.
@@matthewminnich8251 bruh they get hate cause they play highschool lvl music with minimal difficulty. They score high cause they're clean, sure, but they haven't really pushed boundaries in 18 or 19, although 17 was a banger.
@@nickr9505 Bruh what the heck are you talking about ? (scatches head)
Ok look, im a diehard SCV fan. I dont even really like Felliniesque that much. But this show actually resonates with me. This is a BD show i actually like and it didnt even win. Although the Cadets show was killer.
DrumsGTH there’s just something so warm and welcoming about the show, it’s a really good vibe
what’s so special about cadets 2011 anyways? i didn’t like it. is it how half the Corp is red while the other is white? it’s unique, but I don’t like it. the beat my heart skipped should have won imo
@@velocity_2314 this show is better but the Cadets based their show off of "Angels in the Architecture" by Frank Tichelli
The Cadets show connected with many that summer. The top four actually changed places some that year, with Cavies being undefeated until around mid season.
My band director was a euphonium in the cadets 2011
The last closing trumpet solo was everything. The best moment ever. Whoever hit that solo that year oh man you really brought it for everyone no joke dude
TAKE THAT FLOMARCHING
Whenever I hear someone say "Why is that marching band on the football field?" I show them this video. We should all be asking "Why is that football team on the marching field?" lmao

6:36 my man on the left having the time of his life
He's groovin
First of all I was looking at the guy on the most right and I was like “yeah he’s pretty groovy” and then I saw they guy you were talking about and I was like “no nvm he be groovy”
It’s almost been 10 years since this performance. I still remember seeing it like it was yesterday. A lot of memories were made watching Blue Devils😌
BD tends to do aggressively artsy shows, so i appreciate how approachable this one was. i also feel grateful for their tasteful use of props - it seems BD takes care not to allow props to take up too much visual space, which i first thought about while watching their 2010 show.
You know what's wild about this song? If you play it to almost any American today, they will know it but won't know where they know it from.
It's one of the great unifiers of the world, music. Someone can, without knowing it's name, who created it, anyone who played in it, where it came from, or have to know a single note of it, know the song and feel something when they hear it.
This is one of those songs. It's just a beautiful piece and every bar is like a wave of emotion hitting you. I can't imagine what it must feel like to be anywhere near a live performance of it but I imagine it's pure bliss.
Holy crap my heart skipped so many beats! This is by far the best DCI show ever in my opinion.
Yes
this is literally my favorite show ever made lol, i love it so much
E=MC2 and Babylon take it by a mile for me
Micah Lall-Trail yes i've seen all of these shows but this one was the first show i'd ever seen, and it just makes me so emotional every time i see it
6:42 they pass the vibe check
These vibe players are working their butts off at this point. I'm sorry that the cameras didn't focus more on them during this sequence.
I know this may be a very controversial statement, but this is the first Blue Devils show that I’ve truly loved so much. Absolutely beautiful.
Favorite BD show hands down!
This beautiful show When I was 14 or 15, I watched The Blue Devils every night before I went to bed. I am very impressed ❤
What really blows my mind is how this show didn't really get a huge pop from the crowd like I would be screaming cuz of how great this is.
It made me cry!
so true Nehemiah
if it was any other corps there would have been a standing ovation for the last 30 seconds at least
2011 was the best overall year for DCI. So many good shows.
It was a great year!
I love this production so much, I feel like metamorph was just to show off their capability as a group and solos, nothing fit together properly except for drum line and they were doing crazy shit the whole time, but this one is just amazing, the horns are amazing together and this production flows, their retuning of the drums also really helps, especially the snares, another thing is how drum line wasn’t just showing off this year so it fit well
IKR! Someone else shares my opinion about that show. Sure, blue devils are talented, but why just boast about that with nonsensical music and random shit like 2017? This show is awesome and one of my all time favs
the mtemorph ballad tho and trumpet solos and beggening make up for that show but this one is better
Nah metamorph everything flows together idk why drugs you’ve done. Both shows are legendary
@@dhdusidjdjso I'd put money on you being an 8th grader or freshman in hs
@@Avstinato im a sophomore. And I bet you mean that this show is only for newbies but there are plenty of old seasoned people who love this show
This should have won... so smooth, so cool SO Blue Devils. Cadets were great and also worthy of the championship, but this show had the feels that Angels and Demons just did not have. This was natural.
Cant stop replaying 0:45
saaammee
Chills right there
Best part of the show ;)
look at the front lmao
probably one of the best hits in DCI
When they announced this show early on I'm like "Seriously" Burt Bacharach show? Then come finals in August and yeah...Seriously...kicked ass. This show I listen to all the time.
most listenable bd show of the 2010's!
I love it when drum corp openers get straight to the point
THANK YOU B.D.
You all put your heart and soul into this song. The emotion in this performance shows how dedicated you all are. You all are the embodiment of what it means to be in a drum core, and I'm thankful that I found you all.
That closer tho. It's so dreamy and melty.
This start and end of this show never ceases to make me happy
I’m so in love with this show. This show has officially inspired me to learn a brass instrument and one day be a Blue Devil. I promise I am going to work my ass off from this day forward until i get into this program
how’s that going?
@@ellapavel2348 see i haven't had the chance to learn any brass because i've been so caught up in perfecting the clarinet, but during the span of that comment to now, i've become a drum major, and am hoping to get in as a drum major :D
Inspiring to hear and see such passion and musicianship. Keep bringing us more.!! Bravo.!!
This the best show out there, no one can change my mind, beginning to end.
Finally someone who agrees with me
0:47
Replay for the opening hit, thank me later.
This show randomly appeared in my Facebook feed months ago, and I've been obsessed with it - the sounds, the chords!!! - and other DCI Drum & Bugle Corps performances ever since. This really opened up a new world for me. I am so glad to know that there are others like me - who are really into this. I'm going to my first ever DCI competitions this year!
This is 100% me but with Metamorph
@@gavintantleffyes! If "Heart Skipped" got me going, then "Metamorph" cemented the deal for sure! The hornline is absolutely insane. Then there's "Cabaret Voltaire" and "Ink". I've ripped BD music and I listen to it all the time.
@@MarkABarnesVT I couldn’t agree with you more
This show was so technical and I LOVE IT.
Hannah Guy I only disagre because it’s passionate not technical. IMO there is a fine line between each. Technicality is based off of musicianship and cleanliness but passion is due to the fact that not only are the marchers and guard pulling their weight, but performing the show with every ounce of strength and passion they can muster. For the 11 minutes they are on the field they give it their all and make the field theirs. And that’s in my opinion but to each their own
@@andyzavala2349 I agree, this show is a rare example of Blue Devils NOT being over technical, and rather focusing on having fun and entertaining the audience
When I was a kid in the 70's, my dad bought a kick ass stereo from Radio Shack. He played Burt Bacharach albums and other jazz and orchestrated stuff all the time on the High-Fi. Fast forward, I became a professional musician and band director. I am a school administrator now, but still play semi-professionally. Burt Bacharach schooled me on all types of rhythm, style, and harmony. The Blue Devils take on this is sublime. Love the extended chords and mixed meter. If you don't look for it, it is beautiful. Wayne Downey of course captures all the best.
Dave Glyde probably arranged most of BD's music with Downey in a consultant role.
@@dfa3366 Thanks for the clarification, I did not know that.
Xylophone breaks are freaking RIDICULOUS.
I was sweating 🤣
I loved every second of this show, best blue devils show by far
heard their 90s shows by chance?
@@jared0111 still kinda new to dci, really the only older shows i have looked into are phantom regiment's. i have seen the start of bd 1996 which was insane.
This is one of my Blue Devil favorites . . . I have followed them since the late 70's. My first employment location out of the military was within one mile of the MARS practice field. I used to drive right behind MARS on a daily basis. Great memories following such champions!
An Incredible Performance! Thank you to all performers, coaches, and the whole production team.
Just getting into listening to DCI and learning all my favorites and this is my favorite show. Absolutely love it especially the solos and the chords right after! Hopefully I’ll be a BD one day!
Check out Metamorph! I grew up with DCI and watching some of these shows can just make ya tear up at how hard they work and what masterpieces they put on for their fans. Poetry in motion.
My personal favorite BD show is either 2002 or 1994. You should check those out!
I’ve been watching so much DCI and I literally cannot stop playing Metamorph over and over again, it is so good. Metamorph is my new fav but the Beat My Heart skipped is still in top 5
I play trumpet at Hewitt trussville and our show this year was very similar to this one and I really loved it for my first year of marching. Can’t wait for next year (also I have ptsd from the trumpet feature at 5:30)
There have been few comments about the music itself, most of which was written by Burt Bacharach. An amazingly brilliant choice of material for this corps and this performance. I watch it often and weep every time at its awesome power and sheer beauty. The Blue Devils are incomparable imho. Just listen to the sound from 6:37 through 6:59--twelve seconds of such beautiful and intense sound that it will knock you off your feet.
Ok tbh I love every show all drum Corps put out as long as they put every ounce of sweat and every tear and all of their effort into their show, I think it is amazing regardless, yet there are only a few shows that can be called amazing. The ones that you listen to every day that you wish you were there. The shows that you put on replay over and over again because it was truly amazing. This show is that and more to me and I hope it is the same to you.
What a spirit-moving production! ... and so perfectly calibrated. Wonderful!
I have been a fan of DCI since about 1972-73 and have been following the development of DCI and the corps since that time. When I hear the opener and closer of the BD 2011 show, I immediately begin to reminisce and my mind travels back to the 1970s. My high school marching band included a lot of BD music in our half time shows during the mid and late 70s. I had some incredible experiences during those years and some of the best experiences of my life. I was captain of the low brass section and was fortunate enough to play a number of solos during our shows. My senior year, I was drum major which was the pinnacle of my music experience. My introduction to DCI at a young age and my experience with music when I was in high school changed my life and I know it made me a better person...thanks to DCI, the Blue Devils, my high school marching band and my high school band director who molded my small high school marching band into a "drum corps" with award winning performances.
This is amazing, I shed a tear when I heard the entrance of the horns.
Shocking, I am from Bolivia and the truth I feel that the Blue Devils must have won that year, magnificent historical and legendary presentation, keep going Blue Devils Greetings from Bolivia
it's great that there's drum corps fans in bolivia!! cheers. i do really like this show, it's my favorite show of theirs of the 2010's, but i feel like the cadets deserved the win that year.
DCI is back for 2022 and I still look back to this performance. I’ll see you guys in DCI West 💙
That beginning is what falling in love sounds like.
My heart didn’t miss just one beat. Beautiful!
Always gives me shivers and tears of emotion! Thanks you!!!
at 7:10 u can hear the faint “dut dut dut” lol
i feel like there would be a minimal amount of people who would agree with me, but personally, i think the blue devils deserved the win.
They did very well with a show that was essentially based on elevator/lounge music.
@@chrisl83 never heard lounge music hit this hard
i would give ANYTHING to hear the opener again for the first time
me too
Was this vid recommended for you guys too?
Yeah😂
Yeah but that's because I'm always watching college bands march
MatthewD Bryant this isn’t a college band
@@alehmkuhler no shit
@@alehmkuhler sorry, but I know it's not a college band, but I watch college bands March on CZcams and that's probably why bands marching are being recommended
I usually say my favourite BD show is the one that I'm watching, but the more I watch this one, the more I think it could be my fav. IMO it def deserves to be up there as one of their best.
God, that opening hit gets me everytime. This show always makes me feel better after a long day
Always my favorite 👏👏
The snare break is still the sickest thing ever
I don't know, I love the percussion feature but it seems kinda underrated? I'm amazed at how the ensemble blended so well.
I’m sorry metamorph fans but this show doesn’t have shit on any other BD show period.
I really don’t agree but both show were amazing.! This show when I saw it earlier that year resembled nothing like final.! They went thru major drill changes later in the season. It really came together. I have to say one of the harder BD drill shows in the past decade along with 2008 and 2013.
what ab the 2014 show
*Laughs in Felliniesque
@@michaelmoon622 okay that just made my day
This is better then Felliniesqe srry
seems like this show had a lot of amazing moments that insipired future shows, i got some bd 2014 and 2019 and scv 2018 vibes from this
I love the Blue Devils!!!! 💙💙💙
I have this opener on my mind and it’s so satisfying to listen to
this is becoming one of my favorite Blue Devil shows...
May you Rest in Peace, Burt Bacharach
I can't think of a single word to describe this show other than "great"
This show is beautiful!!
I bet I have listened to this over 25 times it never gets old
This was my first BD show, got into DCI 2010-11, loved them since
Every single one in time. Beautiful.
the beginning is legendary
The hit at the beginning is absolutely spectacular…
this and 2017 are arguably one of the best shows of the recent years
Garrett Faccone absolutely killing it at the end! Bravo my man!!!
Never gets old 🔥
Single on Valentine's Day check:
I had no idea this show existed until this week. WOW it's good!
I think I'm crying.... OMGOODNESS so good!
25th time listening to this and its still amazing
The world is more beautiful with this show in it.
favorite bd show by far.

get a load of this simp
Imagine getting called out for being a simp 9 years later 💀
5:35 that dub C tho lol
trex1490 that was not a double c but okay
Trumpet Videos - It is a double c. The very end of the feature, it’s held over. It’s also written into the transcription.
Matthias573 i just listened to it again and heard it that time, it was just hard to hear lol
Trumpet Videos if they didn’t let it hang over a bit of mistake it for a really solid overtone lol
Trumpet Videos it’s a double C sharp it’s the only non solo in the top highest dci notes video
Wow! Just freaking WOW!
At that point it's not even a band for the football team it's a freaking band for the heavens
