Vic Firth is the real MVP for posting good quality run-throughs of these shows. Its still worthwhile to support your favorite corps by buying recordings, but I love having recordings like these for all the shows I can't afford to buy as well as an easy way to show people these amazing shows.

I remember last year when they performed this for the first time in Clovis... right before the first impact/hit everything was silent and I moaned because of the music and everyone around me laughed... this show deserves more attention it's astonishing

That timpani groove starting at 8:28 that then spreads to the hornline is possibly the catchiest lick I've heard in DCI lol

Aquamelon! You can watch on a tv, laptop, consoles. Not just a phone is required.

The depth of this show is beyond what many understand. The music is by far phenomenal. This show had me in tears not only because of phenomenal execution but because of the deep messages written into the show. I believe there is a deep philosophical questioning happening here in this show asking all beings, with all the technological connection that we have today, have we lost our way from the connection that really matters.

2018 & I still come back to watch this show... it's just that good. No one going for the snare solo this season... too bad.

This makes me sad. Our school had a fiasco with the band directors sleeping with students, and the second one got fired. Our band starts in 7th grade. I came into 9th grade with pretty much 6th grade knowledge. I’ve always wanted to join drum courp but i will never be good enough at this point.
