The things I miss most are a show you can hear once and recognize the music and maybe sing or whistle along with. The other thing is the current lack of uniforms you can recognize as representing a particular corps. Now many of the "uniforms" resemble costumes from Cirque de Soleil.

Hello! Thank you and hope you are very well. Your video-making is very good. Your content ideas are very good. If you give me permission, I will share some information with you to increase the channel. You get lots of subscriptions and views. Can I suggest growing your UA-cam channel? Thank you

This was a boring show . Not like malaguena. But I will. Always my scouts even in 15th place.

It's 2024. I thought I had seen all the drum corps videos because that's most of what I watch but after being on YT for 9 years this appeared in my feed. I had never heard this show before and of course I know the story. After hearing it for the first time just now I can see why it failed. The arrangements and tune choices are mediocre at best. I can hear a huge difference in the enthusiasm the Scouts played with in the updated show which finished with a well deserved 2nd place. Repeated show or not, the feat of replacing an entire show in the second half of the season will NEVER be done again.

I marched the scout guard this year.... It was fun ..

One of your best.

I remember hanging with these guys in 74-76 Madison

This is fantastic. Thanks for sharing!

I've been holding my emotions in for 48 years.I could not even begin to believe that after being World Champions in 75 that the staff would give us a show like this.I marched it and it was embarrassing.Ok we went through a gruesome camp to change it all and again took 2nd place.Two years out of three.I won't even mention the debacle of 74.

This is drum corps!!!!! You do not need all the extras that they have on the field. Have followed Madison since 1963.

14 days before I was born

Knew about this show version but had never heard it. It sounds like they couldn't execute it. MacArthur Park arrangement also sounds different. Thanks for posting.

Very nice, Shawk! Had no idea Phil was a guitar player lol

AWSOME drill design for 1996

Hot dam, memories. 45 years ago. Feels like yesterday.

holy crap that guy in the fedora's sax solo was fire as heck

Watching this makes me laugh with joy...

I miss this Madison Scouts, straight balls to the wall power and marching and maneuvering excellence, outstanding General effect. The Madison “Mojo” is gone, and no offense to the ladies of the new Madison Scouts, it’s gone forever.

Loved the music...the snake not so much!. Lol!

Is that at the university of Kentucky

I find it hard to believe that there isn't a single copy of that show on video tape. I marched in that show, it was what it was; we changed shows and still came in second. Never done before or since.

Beautiful and full of emotions for all Scouts alumni and scout fans. Mr. Owen’s is a legend and one of the most humble and kind people you will ever meet. I’ll never forget he picked me up from the airport in Madison for the alumni reunion project. A great Scout brother!

Saw them at the Heartwoods festival last night. Best band around IMHO.

Thanks for sharing. I was in the 1980 band and then moved to Florida. No Florida band could compare.

Mic drop moment

The best feeling in the world is when you are at a drum corp show all day long and you are sitting in the scorching sun and then the sun start to set. It's cooling down and you just know that you are about to have the best corps coming onto the field. The music is getting louder and more powerful, the drills are becoming faster and bigger and the guard tosses are going higher and faster. And now it's dark. You see the bugs flying by the lights and the stands are now full. The crowds are louder. The back stands are filling up from earlier performers. Your back and butt are hurting from sitting all day on that hard bench. You can start to smell all the dirty food containers people are leaving under their seats but then you remember what you are witnessing right in front of your eyes. Is there anything in this world better than this

I love the precision and musicality

Troopers rookie here, I already cannot wait for August 11 💪 ready to perform this with the best

Nice work Shaun. I have started my own educational UA-cam channel. I would love for you to check it out and let me know what you think.

Those were the days.

I always love Gordon's solos!

I transferred to Lafayette and got a music scholarship....But This school will always be my FIRST LOVE.

My old School!!!! Glad to see y'all doing well!!! Wassup, Mr. Owens? Love y'all 🥰

Yeahhhhhhhhhhh

Jesus loves you ❤️

This is why MS will always be my all time favorite DCI Corps.

Wonder if this show could have worked better on the G bugles from the 80s & 90s ... I feel part of the issue is the horns used (which I am pretty sure are valve-rotor bugles) ... I played a valve-rotor horn while 1982 Archer-Epler Musketeers acquired more two-valve horns and I just wasn't very happy with it ... bet that the arrangers would have gotten "froggier" with good all-valved horns ...

Miss these guys playing EPCOT

I have said before and I will keep saying it - there is no “company front” like a Madison company front … and I agree that all-key tuning will NEVER match either the POWER or the FINESSE of a G-bugle horn line … others may argue that the G-bugles were bastardized horns but the “productions” rolled out in today’s DCI just don’t generate the crowd reactions of these shows from the early 1980s … this is MY opinion and only DCI can do anything to change it, but it is probably better for them to just face facts and rebrand as the Independent World Class of Bands of America and stop claiming to be “drum-&-bugle corps” … true drum corps died when the Allentown Predator convinced DCI that “Corps = Band” back around the turn of the millennium, and DCI became the place where traditions die … again, don’t troll me or denigrate me because I disagree with the direction taken by DCI - I voted with my wallet, and DCI (including my beloved Madison Scouts) has not received ONE RED CENT from me since my nephew marched with Magic of Orlando in 2003, and only DCI can find a way to change that (though I won’t hold my breath)

Nice job!

Thank you for posting this clip. In my opinion, DCI, is the reason for the demise of one of the greatest activities in North America. They've turned the activity into a marching band competition, superimposed on a three-ring circus. Drum lines, Play Nothing But Rim shots, head bobbing, juggling, arms flaring all over the place, very few rudiments. The brass line today consists of trombones, electric guitars, all sorts of keyboard instruments, PA systems, singing and dancing and prancing, with so much clutter, props on the field. This is a far cry from a real, drum and bugle Corps. Today is December 23rd, 2022. Former member of the Long Island sunrises.

Thanks Chuck!!

Hey Mr. Owens I don’t know if you remember me but I was in your 5th and 6th grade classes my name was Juan or Danny however they had it as.

can you imagine , never to return again. wtf did they do ?

Great show. Saw them a ton that year when I was with Geneseo.

The one thing you can never experience is feeling the waveforms penetrating and exiting your bones, muscles and nerves. You can place 300 brass in Bb and it will never match 60 G bugles. It’s like flying a piper versus F16.

Was there on tour with Suncoast.

The rap on this Madison uniform at the time was that it "made them look fat." Clearly the creators of this video took care of that issue

thank you for this. The mic'ing in the concert piece is superb. Shaun Owens ... you'll always be a monster! This is well before my time .. but my G** ... so much respect.

I dont know why this appeared on my UA-cam startscreen.... I am from germany... but it is just funny to be the second viewer....a few thousand kilometers away
