Love F Tuning and Ditty!

Now see, this was the drum corps I grew up on!!!!!!!!! Actually from 1990-1995. However, this hooks unto those years with the key of G horns and massive POWER!!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you for this vid!!!!

aaagh yes i love the sound of the snares!

0:04-1:27

I remember watching Phantoms show that night the fog. It was haunting...

0:05

4:15 There's intensity, then there's "James Cuevas intensity".

Ooo Poor contra players

Just pure SOUND. No electronics needed at all. This is what drumcorp is about. This drum line is legendary. 7 snares..small but so precise.

Ahn, I miss the old Drum corps without electronics and piped in music. Blue Devils and Phantom were my favorites that year. Headed to Chester PA for Dci Tour of Champions tomorrow and I can't wait.

This is when BD actually had a horn book that was as difficult as it gets and their drumline moved all over the field. 1999 was the last BD show that they marched and played their asses off and were not afraid to take risk. Since 2000 their horn books have either become less difficult or they park and blow in the hardest parts of the show every year more and more. They take less risk now every year to see if they can still win and they do. This 1996 BD drum corps would sit there and wonder why their corps stopped marching and playing and taking risk with ensemble. ONLY CORPS that shows get easier every year!!!! They have the MOST TALENT!!!! That is what is insane!!! I LOVE this BD show 1996 club blue a gansters chronicle should have beat Phantom by a point.. Should not have been a tie!!! 1999 Should have beat vanguard too. Since then they have in my book won two titles that I can say they were the best out there even though the difficulty was lacking, but not nearly what it is now.

!!!I miss this style of bd!!!!!

Chills!

awesome drumline :) tenors r superb

hell you don't even need to hear the show, the warm up could win it all !. . . . . . but I don't mind the opening number. Among their all time best openers ! TESTICULARITY !

To mrrod67: There's plenty of melody in there. Search Charles Mingus's "Children's Hour of Dream" and you'll hear where the opener came from. Then search Michael Daugherty "Desi" and you'll get the second. The ballad is the love theme from "Dick Tracy". And if you watch video #2, it includes the chase theme from "Mission: Impossible". Plenty of melody.

remember when this was their standard on-field warm up before every show?? Long before the days of the modern pre-show... those indeed were the days.

I miss 90's Drum Corps. I know shows have more room for bells and whistles now but the 90's in my opinion were the peek of drum corps. This opening hit is ridiculously, wickedly loud, and in your face!

fuck yea

what the heck are the quads playing at 2:00 ????

G bugles, it's what a makes corps a corps ! not a band !

I was there. Playing in a division 2 Drum corps from Quebec, Canada.

Years of fascinating music, for sure!

I think the Bluecoats have had a thing for BD since the mid-80s. When I marched there, they were orgasmic every time they talked about 1988 BD. Heheh.

What a sound! This is one of my absolute favorite BD shows!

Where is the music? It sounds great, but is there a melody in there somewhere?

Ah, so this is the show that had a lot of influence on the 2009 Bluecoats' show. Fascinating and amazing.

I got shivers when they played their first chord of the progression at the beginning.

Conical Bore G Bugles Baby!!!!!!!

What a fascinating show =D

Doesn't matter how many times I see this....always gives me "chicken skin"!! Freaking bloody loud ass show!!! Wow

Seeing all these wonderful comments makes me even more proud to have marched that year. This was also the first year for the first tie for first place...

and thats where pearl stole that slogen lol

Did attendees of this performance have to sign a waiver? Explosive! BD FOR LIFE SON!

Dammit i miss the 90's

First time I took my dad to a local show BD performed last and did their F# warmup. He turns to me grinning and says "THEY JUST WON!". LOL

Freakin illegal stick heights!!

Whoa I was at this show!

AmAzin, this was my introduction to DCI 1996...I haven't been the same since!

@bdrosserau Why were they so extra special? because you were in the Cadets backyard?

7:45 to 7:50 wowowow

I got my 1st taste of a BD victory arc out west in 96. Sick as f---! That was before the book and solos got hosed down so a MUCH riskier show before we hit 'Drums.' (lots more double c's and runs and a backfield screamer solo that was hosed cuz the guy was hit or miss on it. Still one of my all time favs. My bro's Kettlehut and Buckner are in this arc on sop - and the king of them all: Billings!! screamer/soloist extraordinaire(Lead sop 94-97) and now a legit pro.

@bdguy99 miss this SOUND

I couldn't image this show with a Bb horn. In those days hearing the warmup w/ ditty is worth the price of admission. I love this show. Thanks for posting.

My God....the power of G bugles!!

Thanks for posting this. It always amazes me to see how much a show can change, even two weeks before finals.

Great!
