Love that chorale at the beginning! Have they done that in years past? And my goodness, the clarity, blend, resonance, and power of this hornline is simply unmatched.
It’s a mix of Longtime Traveler and Carolina in my Mind from the 2021 production. It’s for the alumni from all over who travel far to come back home, I’m going to Carolina In My Mind…
They have that 20 points sound. Even the discords are in perfect tune. Its sad that all Matt Harloff can do each year is plato at perfection over and over again. Its so freakin satisfying to listen to them.
they're not standing on a plateau, it's more like fighting to tread water. they still have to sound that good on the field every night, while in motion. perfection is a process not a state, at least in DCI. Glad they have a great instructor to help them get there
@@BluesClues2s You're preachin' to the choir! I was in drum corps from 1990-1995 and was with Star of Indiana briefly in 1993. I know Matt Harloff so I go way back when Star was the #1 hornline in the world. I was 1st trumpet (back then they were sopranos), soloist and horn captain. So I know all about the process of perfection my guy.
Matt Harloff is the best DCI band director (or whatever job he has at Carolina Crown). He hears perfection in the band, and he knows the potential of the band, and then he brings it out during the season.

Yup, this is the chorale they’ve been playing for a while now that leads them into the hammer drop
It’s actually the song “Carolina In My Mind.” It was the crux of their 2021 show

Is that "plateau" that you meant to say? Yeah, but DCI does the same thing with Blue Devils.

I used to March beside Matt Harloff in 1989 under the tutelage of Donny Van Doren. The legacy continues.

Brass Caption Head
That's drum corps. He does do "band" outside of Carolina Crown, but drum corps is a different level, believe me.
@@veot.2869if by “band” you mean directing the Avon hs marching band, one of the best bands in BOA, then yes. He does do “band” stuff
@@k.coleman9317I knew someone had to do it 😂
Nobody gets me like the brass arranger for Carolina Crown.
The cut off was so crisp😌😌😌
His face says it all on the mello sustain... Holy hell...
🔥🔥SOOO FIRE 🔥🔥
the power this man commands is moving
Powerful stuff 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
2:34 absolutely insane
OMG that Tuba and Mellophone.
I WAS HERE IT WAS SO GOOD IN PERSON
I got to see these guys warm up in Murfreesboro. THE best hornline in the nation!!! And that’s coming from a Percussionist!
i feel like anyone who doesn't know better thinks matt harloff is the director of crown (i thought that too)
What the sigma? Was that a lead trumpet hold over??
I’ve heard better.
Dear diary
where?
The typical jealous reaction of a Blue Devils fan. Denying that Carolina stil has best brass, and will have best brass as long Matt is there ;)
Hehe… My comment is dripping with sarcasm….
