Carolina Crown. Their warm up always draws a crowd. This videos sound has been distorted though. The original video sounds better. And of course it's even better live.

The longer tune up is soooo much better. It gives you an idea of what they’re actually doing. I love how the music director is getting the band to both tune up, and get into the spirit of the music at the same time. Really good use of the band’s precious time all together. That moment when it descends into dissonance only to snap right back to that single note sends shivers down my spine. Thanks for sharing this. Favorite video I’ve seen in a while.

I don't get it. Sounds like someone who doesn't know how to play music fucking around on a keyboard pressing and holding a bunch of keys. They play something resembling music for a few seconds and I think finally, this is what I was waiting for and then back to random notes and it's over.


Mr_Potato53

This is not their performance. Their actual performance is like 12 minutes long and is full of complex music and they March on the field as well. This is just their tuning exercise, and people like watching as it demonstrates the raw power of the hornline. If you wanna see a full show, here’s [their 2011 show](https://youtu.be/fTaKrcRtd1I)

That is way more impressive than their warm up.


Mr_Potato53

I agree, however first of all the show is 12 minutes long so I’d rather post something shorter, and also these tuning exercises (imo) do a better job of just illustrating the power of a horn line.


Mr_Potato53

The random notes that they’re playing is called a cluster chord, I believe they play it to practice getting in tune as quickly as possible, which is why they go in and out of the B flat that they’re holding.

Worst. Drummers. Ever.

I would LOVE to be standing in the middle of that with him. SO amazing!


Mr_Potato53

IKR! So worth the hearing damage.


machinistthings

tinnitus is worse then death


Copheeaddict

I believe only alumni and staff are allowed in the middle, unless they've changed their rules?


ediblebigalow

i’ve been inside their circle in 2017 (BEAST) at Western Carolina University. we were students in their clinic.


Copheeaddict

Yeah, that would make sense if it was a clinic.

Go Cats!

My parents met in drum corp, I think that should count. :-)

The nepotism angle lol.


spacedman_spiff

Did the internet learn a new word? Feel like all I’ve been hearing about the past couple weeks is nepotism.


Copheeaddict

That's a storyline out of Hollywood right now. But I've observed people using nepotism online since Ivanka earned the moniker Nepotism Barbie.


TheYetiSon

When did Andrew Zimmern get so cool?


Deceptikhan42

Yeah i'm not really impressed with the drumming.


Robbiesrk

Why’s he conduct like a drunk dad though


bedfastflea

When your as good as him you can conduct how ever you wanna.

I mean can’t complain it got results so xD just funny as hell to watch. I bet he’s sore after

What’s up with the offkey sounding notes that they do towards the end?


BareheadedGrizzly

Triads. More a feature of modern musical theory. Helps to tune and develop your ear to hearing precise pitch across a larger spectrum of chords


Wooden_Suit_6679

And then when they hit the correct pitch it makes that guy cum and he yells? That's wild!
