I travelled to Riverside, CA for the Drum Corps International west coast show held on June 21, 2009. I had published my previous videos of SCV’s brass line and drumline and there was already a buzz of interest in some videos from the next show, so I set out to find the Blue Devils. After I captured a warm up exercise of the brass line, the Blue Devils ran a chunk of their show, recorded in this video.
I brought along my Canon 5D Mark II and recorded some great footage of the busy Riverside parking lot by the Blue Devils drum line. I captured one exercise and one chunk of the show, as they warm up for their show. Apologies about the audio quality, I was just using the on board Canon 5D microphone for this one.
Many more videos are available at Rance Costa’s Youtube Channel.
