Wow, the amount of visual responsibility each brass player has is taken for granted by the audience. I am amazed. Congratulations on the well-deserved victory!

Sean, You rock! The corps will miss your fervor, talent, dedication, and leadership. It has been a great pleasure to get to know you over the past 2 years. I look forward to seeing you as a fellow spectator next season!

I used to pride myself on Jumping out of bed first before the rest of the Corps.

Ik you probably know this but it’s because of how tubing works, you can simulate the 3rd valve with 1st and 2nd, because those two bring the pitch down 1 1/2 steps while the 3rd does the exact same, so you can play notes like e with 1 or 2 valves

2019 was the first year I ever watched a drum corps show in person, and I regret not going the year before: specifically for this show! Man, what I would have given to see it and hear it in person. You did amazing!

I know someone in my high school band that was born without a left arm but she still marched trumpet for her freshman year and this year would be her second year doing guard.

Congrats on an amazing season and a truly memorable show. The show has a truly hypnotic effect on you; it draws you in early and keeps delivering throughout the entire performance, with some awesome surprises along the way. And wow, the level of energy, athleticism, musicality, non stop motion, marching precision, Horn snaps, theatrics, and prop moving, was just amazing to watch. You realize that every performer has a specific and unique role, and every role needs to be respected and perfected to make the entire ensemble look effortless. I am so glad your hard work and dedication paid off. Well done! Thanks for posting, it makes me love this sport even more, and congrats again on a well-deserved Gold Medal!!

You’re honestly such an inspiration to be able to do and play everything you did this summer. All respect to you man.

Bruh he is missing a finger n still can play all those passages that good 😍😍😍😍 I aspire to be on that level just saying ur section is inspiring us n my fellow mellow to go all out on it this year

My section (Mellophones/FrenchHorns) were talking about you several months ago during camp. The way you finger your notes on the mellophone are insane! You are very inspirational to our section and other mellophones that even with a disadvantage you are still capable of accomplishing great things. Keep up your work! 👍

I truly love the spirit and love he had for marching and I hope that through the rest of his life he can be this great

YESSSSS IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR ONE OF THESE FOR DAYS

I love you scv gosh this years show absolute perfection. 😍😍😭👏🏽👏🏽

You sir, rock. I don't play Mello (although I've tried, I'm bad at it), and the fact that you can play this level of music, ever with only 4 fingers is incredible! Don't stop being awesome, dude.

Yo he was made to play like all the marching instruments he has the perfect amount of fingers not trying to be mean being serious mad props to this guy he plays better than me and still have my whole had serious props for persevering truly awesome

During my show last year, we had these pods that started at the beginning. We always did the diet dr. Kelp at the beginning, and i never knew where it came from until now. This is so cool

Beautiful beautiful beautiful runs

As amazing as the soloists were, I'd argue that you put on a just as an impressive (if not more so) performance. You showed how dedicated MB should always be, no matter your conditions. People, like you, who truly love what they do, will find a way to do it. Incredible performance.
