PSA: This video is a joke. I never planned to march in 2024, as I was content with my tenure at BD. Hope you found this video funny!

Close enough. Welcome to the blue devils

What a G. Pun intended

Alex, I was exited to see another Fugel solo, guess not. But I belive in you and you are a very good trumpet player. You probably have inspired multiple people to be in Blue Devils, especially me.

What is a "Fugel"???

This popped back up in my feed and for that, I thank you. Lol 😍😍

Hi Alex, I am one of the new members of the Blue Devil member selection team. You look and sound fantastic, but I'm afraid you're just not quite the type of player we are looking for heading into the 2024 season. If you have any questions or would like some more specific feedback, feel free to reach out to me personally. I would be happy to refer you to other corps that fit your style of playing, such as Heat Wave of Florida, Santa Clara Vanguard, or Star of Indiana. Best of luck to your marching career, and I hope to see you again in future auditions!

personally I think for a note like that it is an playing thing. not a movement thing

Thats a thing that happens even when you arent moving. The slightest movement ever can cause that. He is great at that

I meant movement in embouchure or airspeed/pressure

How are they not letting Alex go in to DCI again, if he’s already been in it for two years and has been one of the best flugelhorn players I’ve ever heard.

Trumpet 1❤

Hahahahh. Auction complete with props in the room to march around. 😂😂. Can’t wait til july to see BD at the Atlanta show.

YOU MADE THE LINE!

YESSS

Hi, Alex! Do you know the minimum age to try out for DCI blue devils? I am a freshman Tuba player for my school, and I want to try out. I already know how to play the Contra Tubas(My band director is against using sousaphones), and I am a fast learner which should help me learn the drills

If you're serious, I'd say BD is a big stretch but you could definitely try for other corps next year. In the Cascades in the lower world class range we've had people as young as 15. Even if you're doing the corps to get your foot in the door for another corps, lower level corps are a great experience and you're still doing drum corps.

I’m better (I got cut last year)

how are you supposed to make it if you can't even march in a straight line....work on your tracking buddy

No. Higher. Louder. But you'll do for the Maynard Ferguson band.
