    When I was in High School we had a "Military" Marching Band, but my youngest is in a "Show Band", and I have seen some pretty flashy stuff at their competitions, but nothing like this.
    Cool tricks and lots of talent, but still... the uniforms are pretty lame.

    Many people miss the fact that during the sequence at 5:00 every drummer is playing his drum, PLUS the one on EACH SIDE, WITH BOTH HANDS. Perfect synchronicity. This clip is from the 2012 Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo (the 60th anniversary of Elizabeth II's reign)

      Ah, they are favourites at the Royal Military Tattoo, but they are not British. They are actually from Switzerland and are called 'The Top Secret Drum Corps'. The British drum Corps are the 'Royal Marines Corps of Drums'. Very good also, but a bit more 'stiff upper lip' than these guys who add a little fun and panache to their performance.
      Edit: There would be a monumental outcry if the Superbowl Halftime performance was not from the USofA.z

      It was not perfectly performed -- e.g. dropped stick, poor alignment on recovery moves. I really think the extras -- flag people and flashing lights -- were irrelevant to the performance (unless the drummers control the flashing of their drums). What's the next step? A dancing elephant? The bobbing feathers and the swordfight routines were pretty innovative!

I'd LOVE to see a composite video of how TS plans, practices, and produces one of their shows. Can't even imagine the audition one would have to go through to even get a shot at being on the team.

    If these guys walked out onto a battlefield between two armies before the fighting starts, and did their routine, there would be no battle. The enemy would just refuse to attack a bunch of guys who have so much skill and talent.

      @Finn Holly What do you recommend the band leaders wear? Acrobatic wear, clown costumes, farmers' overalls, firefighters' helmets, bakers' hats, moon boots, polo shirts, police uniforms... there's endless possibilities, right?

    I used to love the marching bands at halftime shows. So wonderful and much better than what we have now. This was amazing. Thanks for posting it.

    That’s pretty damn amazing. I thought playing college baseball and 95+ mph fastballs were tough. These dudes would have made any army run for the hills and lay down their arms, 150+ years ago. Can’t stop watching.
