93/94/95/96 were pure bad ass drum corps from Madison, entertainment , attitude and excitement all rolled into a show that in my view is what drum corps was all about,
1996 I was a Contra player on a 2 valve G bugle for Carolina Crown. A highlight of my summer was when we linked up with the high caliber such as Madison, Phantom, Cadets, Blue devils and more at competitions. I really enjoyed this show and seeing it now brings back fond memories of cheering for it from the sidelines in my Crown uniform. To those who get caught in the minutia of perfect tone perfect pitch, etc.......those all have a place but sometimes a raw energy, not easily contained, and barely able to stay in the lane is what is called for. This show encapsulated that notion and spirit well.
@@maxalain9948 just very jazzy sounding, lot of power but leaning on the edge of over doing it. Would be curious to him play some classical music. Still a talent though. Comparison to Maynard Ferguson
There is nothing wrong with the brightness of the soloist nor the soprano section in general. It is very appropriate for this style of music. I agree the soloist is overblowing here, though. Vibrato helps to prevent overblowing. The guy that wins the award for brightest tone is the soloist at the end of Strawberry Soup from Madison Scouts 1982. The brightness is appropriate there, too. ua-cam.com/video/4RrlSBg9uCg/v-deo.html at 3:55 and 4:00.
@@chrispettus2532 he's a one dimensional player. Trumpet playing isn't just about playing high or loud. Tone quality, intonation, strength and flexibility is what makes a player. However, i agree with you in that this sound is appropriate for this style of music. I would like to hear him play other stuff to see how he fairs. This is just my opinion though.
My biggest regret has always been that nobody ever told us WE could do DCI, or that there was an age limit. Will never forgive my band director, I always thought it was professional job growing up

My favorite season to march. 95 was fun but 96 I was whooped by the end of this show every night. Whooped.
Not down with all the electronics / vocals - just give us this! Epic!
I couldn’t agree more!
That soprano player has got the brightest tone I've ever heard. But then again this is Madison scouts
Good bright or bad bright?
