Gorgeous snare tuning. No cardboard was harmed in the making of this video.

Best percussion ensemble out there. People talk about snarelines quads and basses, but this is what really matters. Putting it all together in an ensemble. Brilliant as always

[JacobHalfman]

Damn, didn't even realize the timpanist was playing a walking bassline. Impressive.

[Toms]

I have been around drum corps since 1970, and this is the biggest "WOW" I can give.  This is the best I have ever heard, and I have heard them all.  Writing, performance, it is all there.  That said,  there have been so many greats over the past 50 years, all making the activity what it is today.  Congrats Mr. Rennick.

I think we can all agree that 8:22-8:45 is INCREDIBLE.

[luckystiff]

Currently my third-favorite favorite perc line of all time, second being SCV '98 and first being SCV '04

I did not realize that was someone on theremin. Great job!

KILLIN IT - Best drumline of 2017 by far. Can't wait for 2018!

5:35 that concert bass drum player was having fun

[RickCogley]

Lordy, what a tour de force. Slammin'. Great writing and playing. And the video and sound production is off the charts.

[wyatthatch]

Been waiting for this for a while, love this show!

[DrumlineApps]

nicely done! - from the writing to the playing to the video editing... beautiful stuff!

[HypeTheClean]

Soooo... 0:26 - 0:37 is pretty much summed up with "FIRE, FIRE, FIRE, FIRE, FIRE"

[shatteredbroadcast]

The camera work on this perplexes me at times, like, it looks like there should be a drone or cameraman in a shot but they just disappear

[FelixTruvere]

Wish the video crew had enough knowledge to know to Video the tympani player playing that part at 3 minutes. Would have really loved to see how he operated the pedal in that spot.

[skaynekurtis]

Just incredible - giving us all the angles & showing the stick flare a lot of videos from last year didn't capture - it's an "11"!!
This more perfectly expresses my admiration for Rennick's '17 SCV crew:

[kevinlopezruiz]

Wish it showed more cymbals... otherwise AMAZING!!!

[enlighken]

anybody know why the snares harnesses are painted differently? there’s less white as you go left to right

[jeffmansfield]

What was with the cymbals being super disciplined and tight after the last note, then cymbal dude on the sideline is just letting his mess sway in the breeze?

[RADZADproductions]

I don’t know how the tune their drums. But I’d do anything to find out.
