  • These are my PERSONAL top 10 favorite mellophone moments of DCI. I feel like with all of the allure that other instruments bring, like lead trumpet, trombone, etc, mellophone doesn't truly get the credit it deserves. Subscribe and let me know what I should do next!

    For me it has to be the big ballad hit from SCV 2018. That mello melody lives in my head rent-free, and I don't usually have any DCI anything in my head lol.
    In terms of craziest runs, the G mello books were totally insane back in the day. Easy example: ua-cam.com/video/UE6IEy6e2wo/v-deo.html but there's all of Star of Indiana's history and Madison '88 just to name a few insane mello books.

    There are some fine clips in here, but in general, if you think the ten greatest examples of something (ten best books, ten best movies, ten best hail-mary passes, whatever) can all be found in the past ten years, that's probably a sign that you haven't explored very far. I envy you for your future and presumably ear-opening explorations into drum corps performance.

    I'm guessing it was waaayyy before your time, but you should listen to Garfield Cadets '83. There are two kinds of drum corps shows--before 83 Cadets and after 83 Cadets. It's not as clean or intricate as some of the ones on your list (surely a limitation of the g-bugle), but in the age of "louder, higher, faster" it was the first time I can remember middle horns truly being featured in a show. Everyone tends to talk about the innovative drill design, but for me it was the mellophone book that stood out.

    You need to take some time in the wayback machine. All the way back to the 80's my friend. The hit from the 4 mellophones that buries the rest of the horns near the end of 89 SCV. The cavvies lines of the late 80's with the rips. Double C's from the mello's a the end of the opener in 92 SCV. The G mellophone was TWICE the horn the new F mello's are. WAY more range and much more distinctive cutting sound.
