I like how they are now taking advantage of the things you couldn't do back when Drum Corps started. Like stepping over the front line, and speaking on the field while in formation. They were really having fun with the usual non traditional ways that made them the favorites of Drum Corps enthusiasts way back in the 70s.
Dicarlos drum line awesome 😎💯
Just Awesome!
Drum Major who?
Is that Jimmy Russo directing???
Who's the guy in the blue uniform 14:45?
Corps just really needs the Bridgemen. Proof that you can be great just being fun.
Pog
Those were the days when you went home humming the music !😀
I'm pleased to know someone other than me feels this way. Drum Corps these days (2024) is unrecognizable to me. I marched bells, and we had to CARRY our instruments. Now, the pit has 20 chromatic percussion instruments all playing the same thing and other clutter. Tympani was CARRIED but occasionally grounded. The Guard spun flags and rifles and didn't fly around like it was a ballet performance for somethin. lets not even get into amplification and bugles no longer being used. I'm not knocking the way things are now, I love Drum Corps as I did when I started marching in 1976. Just pointing out how different it is now and thanks to the Bridgemen, Drum Corps has evolved in many ways to what it is now.
American Flag on the field!
YES THEY ARE TERRIBLY MISSED THE BRIDGEMAN WERE GREAT THE BANANAS THEY WERE THEY WERE HILARIOUS THEY WERE NEVER TAKING TOTALLY SERIOUSLY BUT MAN DID THEY DID THEY HAVE THE CROWD IN THE PALM OF THEIR HANDS THEY WERE AWESOME I'D LOVE TO SEE HIM COME BACK
Bridgemen - Darth Vader, Velvet Knights - Luke Skywalker.
I could not love this anymore than I already do!
If we can't bring the Bridgemen back, can we at least bring the backfield warm-up back? Those were a little peek into the personality of each corps before they started their show. And you got a sense of the power that was about to be unleashed. I didn't realize I miss them until I saw this clip.
So sad that they called it quits again....they were a joyous reminder of the FUN Drum Corps could be before it became an "art*form..
Always loved The Bridgemen. VK kinda picked up where they left off in the 80’s.
Indeed, LOUD IS GOOD!
New Jersey drum corps during the 60's and 70's was the greatest. I marched Blessed Sacrament 1970-1973
CW Townsmen 72-77 best days of my life
I really like how they took the focus off of cleanliness and really focus on having fun. years later it’s a lot of fun for me to watch and it was probably even more fun for the performers.
WOW!!!! This brings back sooooo many wonderful memories of DCI if the late 70's-80's. So incredibly entertaining. Thanks a bunch for posting.
I remember when the Bridgemen switched to the Yellow Banana uniforms, it caused quite a stir in the drum corps world......
My husband was from Bayonne and marched in the Bayonne Cadets and when he was 12 graduated to the Bayonne Bridgeman as a snare drummer. When it was time for new uniforms, he asked his sister, who worked in the garmet district of NY City, if she could get material inexpensive for new corps uniforms. The best she could find was the yellow material that became the iconic look of the Bayonne Bridgeman. They were one of a kind and had swag like no other corps!!!
Always had a great show. Loved these guys and gals. So ORIGINAL!!! Never be again. Hate to see ya go😢😢😢
Ahhh Larry Kershner charts!!! -He was their not so secret weapon!@!- "My Favorite Things" bands are still [play his chart!!!
These are awesome artists who are eccentric and fun-loving. They brought life to DCI since the 70's . The saddest thing about Bridgeman leaving is they were different and not apologetic about it. Unique corps is what makes DCI. If everyone were the Cadets DCI wouldn't be here.
I LOVE this!!! Everything about it! Thank you Bridgemen!
We we're cheated in 77. And 1978 we we're The Best and will always be the best entertaining corps ever. Snareline..77-78-80.💛
My husband, Bob-Pugsley_McCarthy marched with you in the snare line. Such a highly talented line back then. He's doing great and taught the percussion line at our son's marching band. Our son was a snare drummer as well. They brought alot of High Percussion trophy's home...the apple didn't fall far from the tree. Hope you are doing well.
brother was triples john k
Call me a dinosaur but I like high step pregame show
Bridgemen and Bobby Hoffman changed Drum Corps forever. I'm glad I was there to be a part of the 1970s changes and get to compete against THE BIG BANANAS to our south in Hudson County. Long live the great memories you gave us all!
They should have stayed home. Really.
You don't have a clue....
Rip Bass Drum
You can tell they had tons of fun with this one!!
Did jim Brady perform?
chris schmitz No, he did not, however our screamer was using Jim's 2-valve bugle!
pagliacci played by the Bridgemen always make me feel good
SneakySteve 333 same
The player missing the mouthpiece made me wonder, people still marched "plugs"?
Rodney Nees, no it flung out of his horn! We still harrass him about it!
Aren't they playing on G bugles?
Will Gayner yes we were
Bill Paliwoda In your opinion do today’s G bugles project as well as they did when they were used in the 70s and 80s?
I so hope all the young folks watching this look up 1970's Bridgemen. They were what I wanted my band to be. Great stuff! Great memories!
Man I started tearing up at the end of this video. Must be getting soft. This was one of my favorite Corps. I only got to see them live in 1985 while I was marching Sky Ryders.
An amazing organization that changed drum corps, drum corps staffs, drum corps shows, even drum corps people forever. 1976 when they finished their show at Franklin Field in Philly and fell simultaneously on their backs on the field... drum corps as an activity changed forever. I always find it odd that commentors on UA-cam that hate the direction of the activity love the Bridgemen from back then. That was where the direction change took place. Hipness is... to paraphrase Tower of Power - the Bridgemen.
The Sky Ryders are a corp that deserves more recognition. I remember them well. Didn't someone try to pirate the name and tradition in Texas?
I'm so missing this and all the people I marched with last year !!! It was a Great time !!! Love you ALL !!!
I wonder what the party after was like?
Who said that old people can be in DCI
Back then when soloists weren't mic'd
But yet, sound like shit.
I wish I could've seen this live!
Welcome back my friends, to the show that never ends: The Bayonne Bridgemen. We were grateful to see you come back and are saddened to see you leave us again. Peace to you all for what you accomplished. It made me feel 20 again and really happy...
Holton 345 🎶❤🎶
so when we hit rock bottom
man....how sucky was that?........good bye!
Jim S It's classics man. This is how DCI used to sound. It was supposed to be nostalgic.
Jim S dude it's not supposed to be clean, these are all people who aged out years ago, you have no clue what you're talking about.....
It's how Drum Corps should still sound. Snowflakes be dammed. Bridgemen were the bad asses of Jr. Corps in the 70s into the 80s and Skyliners were the bad asses of Sr. Corps. Great years! I loved it
Jim S , YOU MUST BE FROM DCI ? YOU SOUND LIKE A JACKASS. FORMER MEMBER OF THE LONG ISLAND SUNRISES DRUM AND BUGLE CORPS, " REAL DRUM AND BUGLE CORPS "
Brings back memories
Great Show. Especially for those "Old Farts" amongst them.
So great to see this. The drumline still has it. Took me back to the 70's.
Enjoyed the musical jokes. Thanks for the performance.
Crowd of hundreds! Time to take the finals to DC territory! Rice Stadium Houston? Old Cotton Bowl Dallas?
The official count was 23,000
