- DCI 1984 Broadcast of the top 5 corps. This comes from an old VHS tape, so it's not long on quality. It includes live performances, commentary by Steve Rondinaro & Richard Santo (former director of the Garfield Cadets) and the Grand Finale.

1983 and 84 were the first years of DCI that got me in to the activity, and I fell in love. I started marching in 1986. 1984 and 1993 are probably my favorite over all years but other individual shows stick out since then. I absolutely love these shows. I found myself getting overly emotional seeing the end of SCVs and Garfield's shows again even on this dated recording. Yes it's hard to compare the production values, rules changes, and recording quality to todays performances, but these shows from the 80's always reach down and tear something out then show it to me as I smile.
Seeing the shows of all the corps and then watching Garfield, it's apparent how Garfield was in a class by itself. This show turned me into a Garfield fan when I saw it back in 1984. No props - just a corps performing a difficult book, exposed soloist, an innovative drill and an overall show design that was ahead of its time. This will forever be the most ICONIC drum corps show ever. It changed the face of the activity. I get emotional every time I watch it. A well-deserved part of their three-peat.
Garfield only won by .10, which I cannot believe (should have been a bit more). It was basically Cadet's GE versus BD's percussion. I love this show!
There is a remastered version of The Cadets here if you haven't seen it: ua-cam.com/video/Ts0NqvNOGQ0/v-deo.html&start_radio=1
@@mrbear1302 Thanks for the link! I never get tired of watching this show.
Joe... 84 G'field is my all time favorite corps & show, but class of their own? Don't tell BD that. Greatest corps & show to ever not win a championship. Respectfully disagreeing, while totally agreeing on how Garfield was.
@@raymondfallon7429 Absolutely. BD brass was on fire. IMO shoulda had the Ott outright, not tied w/ Garfield and SCV. Like you said, NOTHING against Cadets... Amazing, super emotional show...especially opener and closer...Loved them both... AND Vanguard...that front in Tender Land tho....Holy God....
I love the PBS broadcasts - wish they still did it. I was interviewed in 1989 at the DCM championships in Dekalb, IL. I wasn't expecting anything but then saw it show up on the 1989 Finals PBS show. It was a segment about defining drum corps as a sport.
god forbid flo marching isnt the only way to watch the shows
what would they do without requiring you to pay for each show.
I also would love to see DCI on TV but i at the same time am begging for a return to how these older shows were.
This was one of the years when I was marching. We were all blown away by the radical marching changes instituted by Garfield. People don't realize that what they take for granted now, had to start somewhere. It had started to show up the previous two years, but this was when Garfield shook up the entire Drum Corps World. If only someone had warned the TV producer about that surprise company front during "Tonite".
THERE I am (sop with full glasses and beard at 54:19)
RIP, Gary Brattin (Contra) and Dayln Barner (Euph). Both gone FAR too soon.
You guys should've won.
@@renorailfanning5465 I think I love you...

We (Bayonne) lost Frankie (Perdue) Petrick after that season too. All we can do is what you're doing. Keep their memories alive.
This is the year I became HOOKED on drum corps…. Still my FAVORITE Cadet show, and I’m a Blue Devil fan. But the music and that DRILL…..
5 DISTINCT STYLES...Imagine that. Everyone was unique...27, Troopers, Freelancers, and on and on.
What just bugles and percussion!!
What a weird concept, eh?
Remember something... people were already crying about the changes by 1984... "without ticks, it's just politics... etc. etc. etc."
La Fiesta would make Maynard proud!
Thank you...we certainly tried!
and 75 Muchachos, too...
Wonder what these soloists think when they see their modern day compadres “ mic’d up for a solo??
Not too impressed...
Madison soloist '84
We didn’t need no stinkin’ mic.

Thanks!
Any chance you’ve got the ‘85 broadcast? Really love to see that again!
Would you happen to have the 86 PBS broadcast to post??? There is a segment on the Original PBS broadcast that shows clips of corps 6-12…that was cut from the video tapes that Video Express released later. I wore my vhs tape of the original broadcast out, and have been looking for that short segment ever since. I have all of the full corps performances on the Legacy DVD from 86, but I would love to be able to watch that short segment for sentimental reasons.
I do have 1986, but it’s in worse shape.
1:25:12 lol crazy that marching sideways was revolutionary at one point
Why is it during the percussion feature they show the colorguard and the front assemble but not the battery except from long far away shots? It’s called a percussion feature people SHOW THE BATTERY!
The television producer of the DCI championships at the time knew nothing about drum corps.
128…
Madison with one of the greatest drum solos ever, kicked total ass, corps ripped off too
These announcers are dumb. Regiment would have been 4th in Semis if Vanguard's disastrous late arrival to the gate hadn't happened.
