2014 Santa Clara Vanguard - Scheherazade: Words 2 Live By

[njemtrn]

"hey, i kinda wish someone would slam some trombones in a show one of these years" - someone
"no worries fam" -SCV

[jadenmccallum]

Little bit sad they edited out the guy that yelled "Give it to me!" right before the big hit. Pretty much sums up everyone's feelings right there.

[Bandit]

No need to touch yourself when you can listen to this

[maniac]

IMO this was easily the best use of trombones in the 2014 season.

[YookaKim]

My jaw fell off at the hit; HOLY TROMBONES! That hit was worth every single one of those trombones; I don't get why people hate on them :3

[lettersandnumberrs]

I really think SCV implemented the trombones perfectly into their show. Having them only for certain spots in which they enhanced the music really added to the big moments of the show. I think this is a good model of how to properly use trombones in a DCI show without overloading the show with them.

[woofwoofmolly]

That hit. THAT HIT. Chills every time.

[bccadet]

Best impact moment of 2014. Hands down.

[MrDigitalhax]

Honestly the greatest 20 seconds of DCI 2014.

[musicfanatictwothree]

That big hit just sends chills throughout my entire body

[werD]

this right here... this is why I play trombone. gives me the shivers and forces me to smile every time

[johndeer]

All I have to say to this is: Thank you SCV.
Incredible.

[MySlenderGames]

Chills... every time.
To the people who still think the trombone sounds too harsh to be in DCI 1) You clearly know nothing about music 2) This is your evidence and 3) Your argument is invalid

[brianbostwick]

DCI needs to bring this back to TV period, they are too cheap to do it

[ameliaborger]

That brass hit made my ears explode, but I would still watch it a thousand times. Oh my god it was beautiful

[Andrew-pnsw]

They donated their uniforms to my high school which is really cool

[talonwhite]

I freakin' love how they balance everything to the trombones in the opening impact! Gives me chills every time.

[eduardobulnes]

i appreciate the openness with which the colorguard had gleamed through air with silk so dramatically ridden with shine, it is still cleaning my spirit and enriching my breathe with elements of nature and freedom that are still possible .. the trombone feature provides an articulated buzz-vibration which also invigorates my energy with a capacity for flight and causal inhibition

[codywright]

That hit at the beginning with the trombones though. Damn. The people watching that live must not have had much flesh left on their faces after that hit. They were peeling paint like no other!

[crestviewbrm]

Thank you Santa Clara Vanguard for inspiring the opening to my high school band's halftime show! You can watch it on our channel if you want to!
