Imagine how that mello, at the center of all that, must feel. Most amazing moment ever, best feeling in the world. Guarantee that person'll never, ever forget that moment.
mellophones get all the cool licks. as a trumpet, I'm always jealous. I will say though, from a composition standpoint, a mellophone is technically an "inner voice" (usually considered an alto voice), so when you give them those cool riffs, rips, and licks, it makes them a more significant role in the work. very smart of the composers that utilize it.
@@tylerpenberthy8523As a marching trumpet in the Homestead Spartan Alliance Marching Band, we get cool licks all the time, we have a feature in this year's show Rhapsodic, if you want you should come have a watch or look it up online
When you dream of doing this one day, but realize you don't live anywhere near any DCI Band Headquarters, so you're stuck in New York without a band as a high school senior.
You're crazy if you think that this show deserved to medal. BNW is fun and enjoyable to listen to, but compared to some of the other shows performed that year, it was really easy.
"Sliding into your DM's" meaning someone random hitting on you thru Direct Messengers... = "Sliding into DM's" the bottom bass guy was moving hella fast - so ...he was, jokingly, sliding into Dms
As a drummer/washed up percussionist with a little instrumental knowledge (violin, piano, guitar), I always love hearing you horn players talk about the different instruments, proper arrangements, who's popping out of the ensemble, etc. Yours is a realm I never got to explore, but I appreciate thoroughly! I've probably watching BD Space Chords more times than any one drumline video on youtube. Seems like this will now need to be included in that rotation!
I wish I could be in a marching band again. The emotion i get from hearing this is just magical and better than anything I've ever experienced. This makes me want to cry tears of joy.
I’ve recently been through a really critical time in my life. I play this video over and over, because of the passion and emotion it gives off. It helps me relieve my darkness. Thank you for posting this video. ~2017 & still watching.
I have many DCI favorites. Opening, Closers, Drumline etc. But by far, this is my favorite of "Just a Single Song" I mean NOTHING even comes close to this! Its just plain and simple, the most Beautiful songs ever played by any Corps.
This was the show that introduced me to dci. I’ll never forget the moment I sat with my hs bandmates watching them rehearse this opener and being in absolute shock at how good they were. I ended up marching 2yrs of dci after this show planted the seed. This show (and corps) will always hold a special place in my heart
I heard the Bluecoats perform this in Charleston, WV and I just about CRIED!!! I experienced so many emotions, because this is one of the most beautiful arrangements I have EVER heard and I have been a Drum Corp fan since the 80's. My only disappointment is that they did not close their show with this too.
I was a part of this show and I am literally crying reading the comments again. It's amazing how much nostalgia and emotions still get brought up thinking about these years of my life.
@@Inc1z1on feel good, you worked hard to make it. Don't forget those years of hard work, good times, and connections you made with the people you met in the corps.
This is a heck-of a large-sound, for a band this small. Really good. Masterful arrangement. Most modern day marching bands shake their rumps and juk, you guys di a ballet. Applause, applause, applause.
I had to do a routine for this for my commander audition. I love this piece both as a Mello player and as a DCI fan in general. It just sounds so good, and that Mello part is simple yet amazing.
We had this part in our show this year. It was the most beautiful and empowering moment of the whole thing. It made me want to play the mello so bad. IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL :')
I was marching Crossmen this year and I made it a point to seem them and listen to them any time we had shows together. Either back field or from the end zone or somewhere in the main stands. So beautiful ❤
Everytime i see a DCi video it nearly makes me cry bc i didnt finish marching band out in high school due to other bs and i still never forgive myself for it lmal
Every time I watch this video it gives me these emotions. It makes me want to cry sad and happy tears. and it gives me this sense of nostalgia for some reason and a bunch of other feelings I cant explain. Band and music in general is awesome. wtf.
Our director chose this piece for our uil show this year and is constantly referencing this performance! Even though we may never sound dci, we will sure give the audience a hell of a performance!!
I hate how marching bands have fallen into the "peppy marching music" stereotype. To think of it as such is so old fashioned. We're playing this song this year for one of our Universities half time shows, and personally I think it will be our biggest crowd response yet. I bet if the haters who think this song is "not peppy enough" had seen this performance in person, it would have blown them out of the stadium..
If I could become a scientist and build a time machine... one that would take me back to 2011... one that would take me to this moment, in this show, in this stadium, one that would bring me in front of this sound and glory... I would... even if it would take years and decades of work and dedication. :') Best opener in DCI history. Love this.
Imagine how that mello, at the center of all that, must feel. Most amazing moment ever, best feeling in the world. Guarantee that person'll never, ever forget that moment.
Yea prob never forget it because it was the last thing they heard before going deaf. They played loud lol
Bro what if they forgot it?
holy cow i wish i was that mello 🥲
Same as the baritone at the front of the opening hit for metamorph
@@jackcallahan1848 Bro they've likely played it thousands of times before that moment, there's no way they're forgetting that

ha! same here man.

Forever one of the most beautiful and powerful moments in DCI.
Didn't they just recently edge out the Blue Devils for the world championship?
yep, with "down side up"
I wish with Kinetic Noise but...
no. but it could have been...dont be so easily impressed.
You may need to learn the definition of, "opinion."
That moment when your music composer knows what a mellophone sounds like...

When you dream of doing this one day but then you remember you're a woodwind.
I was too :)
When hundreds of woodwinds have learned a corps appropriate instrument and have done this.

damn dude bummer
eh, I play alto sax and learned to play contra when I marched in 98
I've watched this over 100 times and I still get goosebumps. Every time.
Same! do you play any brass?
Same
Always
The bluecoats are good at making appealing visuals that don't come out as useless eyesores.
TheZacman2 TRUUUUUEE
So true!!!
Yup, they keep it simple and effective! The body visuals in Metropolis are great!
The closing set to Metropolis was 👌👌👌
their props on the other hand 😂
RIP the one mellophone's hearing in the end.
5 years later...World Champs.
Exactly what is wrong with DCI. This show was worthy of a title. DCI is a joke. Money grubbers. What a shame.
You're crazy if you think that this show deserved to medal. BNW is fun and enjoyable to listen to, but compared to some of the other shows performed that year, it was really easy.
Doktor Detroit 2016 was the first time in recent years that bluecoats had a title worthy show a year when there wasn't 4 other shows just as great.
Doktor Detroit no. If anyone got cheated that year it was crown.
Centrist Drummer have you listened to crown 2011?
I watch this once a week full blast to set up my weekend.. I am aware no one cares, but hey I'm still saying it
Thats because you are a weirdo!!! LOL!
this man pre-empted the "I don't know who asked" meme by 6 years
@@pauletteinboston6894 what the hell am I doin here
I remember playing on this field. Amazing experience
Same
NoysE I just played on it for the first time this past season. Pretty amazing.
I'm embarrassed to admit how many times I've watched this. Love it every time.
Don't feel bad! I can't count the number of times I've put this on loop.
when your band actually knows how to crescendo and decrescendo. they literally stopped the sound dead in it's tracks and crescendoed it to the max...
is it okay to cry during this?
Yes :')
+Kieran Walker Makes me cry too, so sad i never got to do it lol
Your skin makes me cry
Yes, this is a beautiful moment in every way
It'd be weird if you didn't cry
Director: ok guys lets do the warm up
Mellophones: starts playing creep
Director: *intense glare*
we actually had creep as our warmup chorale
I saw this live during their tour and I can't stop thinking about it over a decade later. This was incredible to witness in person.

Bluecoats are the trend-setters, obviously

this comment is older than my brother and stands stronger than he does
@@luphoria literally same lmao
9 years
What I love is that not a lot of shows produce the goosies and standing hair that this one does. This was everything live. Everything.
everytime I cry now my mom just assumes I'm listening to the bluecoats (-:
That's the best thing I've heard all day
The fact that 150 people can fill a stadium that big with sound, jeez
I'm sure that by now half of these views are from me.. lol...
The other half are from me, xD
The other half from me
Well that's technically impossible lol

This arrangement is one of those perfect bubbles that can’t ever be popped. It’s a marker in the DCI timeline
This brings tears to my eyes EVERYTIME
Mellophones!!!! I am a Mellophone player...and I would kill to play this!!
Woot mellophones
Brass instructor is having us play this as our warm up this year
I cant be the only person that watches this like everyday it’s absolutely amazing
Bluecoats will forever be my favorite drum corp

A decade later and it still sounds amazing. Never gonna get old listening to this👏🏽
Never.
Listened at least 1000 times by now. The guard work is absolutely amazing, very underappreciated. Everything about this was flawless.
No props. Just incredible arrangement and execution.

Dude this is freaking box 5 everything opener.

This is my favorite DCI moment of all time. I’ve probably played this clip hundreds of times.

This wasn't good at all, it is magnificent.
God, can't decide which opening brass hit was better from this year. Crown's Bohemian Rhapsody, or Bluecoat's Creep.
FredFriggIehorn crown
Yes.
both

Those ripples... that sound... that footwork... is perfection
the beginning of scheherazade and creep are and my favorite moments in DCI like ever
the sound quality is insane
I get goose bumps every single time.
chills every time

This has always been one of my favorite moments in DCI ever. Beautifully arranged. Listened to it a countless number of times.
Why does the crowd not go nuts during that big hit? People just casually clap. I'd be on my feet! That hit is so powerful.
Because they're in shock.
You can actually hear someone saying "boooo!!!"
Noel still 01 They are "BLOOOO" ing..
They're probably screaming but you can't hear them over the corps 😂😂
This has one of the biggest likes-to-views ratios I’ve seen. It’s been around for 8 years and people constantly watch it. It’s beautiful.
2024. 8 years from HS marching band but damn do I love this and miss it. Life takes a toll. We keep fighting yall. We got this!
Goosebumps every time..
As a mellophone i have to say I really need to see the sheet music for this so I can let the practicing of it consume my life
I could listen to 0:50 forever… gives me goosebumps and makes me smile like an idiot. I love it!!!
This was one of the first times that I've ever heard something so beautiful I couldn't breath.
don’t mind me. just stopping by for my daily visit
The playing is just amazing, but I'm so entranced by the movement within the upside down triangle. It is just mind blowing.
Chills, I got to see this live. Unforgettable. My favorite opener that year. Absolute chills.
Talk about some chills every time i hear this.
Chills everytime
those running dabs though
I will never get tiered of this show I watched it like a million times
This is a heck-of a large-sound, for a band this small. Really good. Masterful arrangement. Most modern day marching bands shake their rumps and juk, you guys di a ballet. Applause, applause, applause.
This is a corps. Not band
This corps ain’t small lmao
DCI gives me so many indescribable emotions
its been a decade but it still gives me goosebumps
This has be on my knees embracing the sounds of musical heaven everytime
I had to do a routine for this for my commander audition. I love this piece both as a Mello player and as a DCI fan in general. It just sounds so good, and that Mello part is simple yet amazing.
Oh ok. Ooo. Ooooohooooo. Oooo my lawwwd.
Progression of reactions during this song
We had this part in our show this year. It was the most beautiful and empowering moment of the whole thing. It made me want to play the mello so bad. IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL :')
Ive watched this about 50,000 times and every single time i get major goosebumps

Drew honestly was hyped like shit during this.
Ahh, the one that started it all for me. Chills, still, after all the years.
Best Bluecoats opener in my opinion
Everytime i see a DCi video it nearly makes me cry bc i didnt finish marching band out in high school due to other bs and i still never forgive myself for it lmal
god I LOVE bluecoats!! BLOOOOO!
this music was done by the former Mt. Whitney highschool band director Mr. Ray .....just putting it out there
I know! Are you fro Visalia?
+Eric Medina yes

It’s actually very concerning how many times a day I watch this 😂❤️

"Beautiful" best describes the sound. Then again, awesome, incredible, epic...
I would listen to this every night while falling asleep if i could
2018 anyone???
Yep
2019
I can never get enough of this opening, one of my favorites.
When I see a DCI event, my skin is always tired at the end....goosebumps over and over and over again....
Some of the best moments come from when DCI was actually drum corps. When even the Bluecoats has real uniforms😂
Shut up boomer
favroite marching moment!!!!!!
DCI used this exact cut for BL&L earlier this week. Chills every single time.
If I could become a scientist and build a time machine... one that would take me back to 2011... one that would take me to this moment, in this show, in this stadium, one that would bring me in front of this sound and glory... I would... even if it would take years and decades of work and dedication. :') Best opener in DCI history. Love this.
I playing this this year in my marching band I'm in the pit
good luck you copy cats.
Its Kali saw their performance at indie. It wasn't the same as this one. they tried to mimic their style but it didnt go well for them
wow lol
yea me too my show was called what if

I seriously can listen to this on repeat lol. Amazingness. Just absolutely breathtaking
Goosebumps every damn time....
