Ok... that's pretty damn cool!

I like how they all dressed up smart and then the conductor shows up in his saturday casual.

no battery...sigh

...and that's probably just a shtick they did as a warm-up.

Yes, it was their warm-up.

I'm most amazed by the amount of control this conductor has over his band and their discipline to follow his direction so closely.

Very impressive.

I want to listen to this as I'm flying into deep space, earth's destruction past; the last of humanity... drifting, listening, until the machine's failure and my own drift into endless slumber.

tiiiiinnnggggllllyyyy

Have I drifted into the endless black slumber of space?

A little background: the Concord Blue Devils is a Drum and Bugle Corps, which is like a marching band for athletes and masochists. They do field show competitions like the halftime marching band shows you've seen at football games, but unlike school marching bands, they have (usually) 64 horns, 24 drums, 24 color guard and an almost militaristic training regimen. They rehearse weekly throughout the year and then train and compete on the road all summer, 7 days a week, 12 hours a day, split between strength, calisthenics, music and marching. That's how they build their discipline and cohesion. I marched with their main competitor in the late 90s.

So your undies didn't start out fuzzie. But after all those hours of marching . . .
