Phantom's Juliet was profound. A brilliant and stirring rendition of a girl contemplating suicide over the loss of her love. The staging was transcendant. The dramatic action crystal clear. It's an example of breathtaking DCI staging at its finest.
Channel Three and it wasn’t first😭
TorqueStatics youre me whenever crown didnt win best brass in 2014
@@CesarRodriguez-lz9fv that still pisses me off because that hornline was insane
I may be simple but that first one had me on the feels train
What a great decade for DCI
Phantom regiments “Juliet” was just so beautiful. It is my favorite show ever. I can’t stop watching it.
Juliet has my favorite closer of all time. “Elsas Procession to the Cathedral” is perfect for DCI, and Phantom nailed it
The first one had me on the brink of crying.
Same I had chills for the whole thing just watching it on a video!
As Mr.Leyda stated, this is HIS top 10. The shows that he chose were chosen not because they won first that year, but simpy because those are the shows and moments that has made an effect on him. The story of the show, the music with the drill and visuals, whatever made him choose his 10. It is HIS top 10, not anyone else's.
Jorge A this man just badly needs to look to the history of this activity, I feel it could really be an enjoyable experience for him.
And les mis needs to be 1989 Cadets like come on!
e.g. Rach Star from Carolina Crown
Simpy huh?🤣
Loved Cadets 2011, one of my favorites
Definitely one of my favorites as well!
The 90's were probably my fav. DCI decade of all time
Major props for including Harmonic Journey. That's the very show that inspired my obsession with DCI and eventually inspired me to learn mello and march with Boston in 2010
Great video. The best part about it, NO blew devils
Carolina crown 2011... what a wave of sound, and the announcement after the opener was so perfect xD.
2003 Phantom still gives me chills
I will never not like seeing 2003 Phantom at anytime, and that you finished with it just makes this video practically perfect. If I have one complaint, its that "I AM SPARTICUS" wasn't included, but I'll be OK.
Agreed, I've listened to the 2003 PR closer hundreds of times. Love that show!
The final song for #10 was Elsa’s precession right. It was god damn beautiful to hear it in DCI.
Agents League Yeah, its such a powerful work
Elsa’s procession by phantom was beautiful
PR 03 still my favorite closer of all time. The writers of the horn book that year nailed it. Glad you saved it for last!
Okay so in my opinion Bluecoats- looking for America isn't "the best show ever marched" but I think the score for that show is amazing!
Agreed!
This period was the pentacle of DCI.
Nice collection...glad to see your 2013 'e=mc2' Crown pick and PR's 'Juliet.'

A Cadets company front never gets old.
The Phantomettes make Elsa's just magical. Once of my single favorite moments in history.
2003 Phantom ending = PERFECTION
factsfactsfactsfactsfactsfactsfactsfactsfactsfactsfactsfactsfactsfactsfactsfactsfactsfactsfactsfactsfactsfactsfactsfactsfactsfactsfactsfactsfactsfacts CANON
Another 30 seconds more on Crown 2012 makes it 10x better
Just the opener of crown 2011 rattles my bones
DeviousOstrich yess same I just posted that. Such a good performance.
Bbglv harvest church
No corps that doesn't bring such stunning visuals as these with such emotionally charged music should be seeing the highest scores no matter how well they execute what they do. The best is the best, and only the best should be rewarded as the best.
Execution is everything in Drum Corps. Doesn't matter how emotionally driven the music is or how cool the drill is if it's not executed to perfection it won't score as high. That's why blue devils score so high every year. As the BD percussion tech states, "Work smarter not harder"
We need a 2013-2023 Top DCI Moments
Starting off with my 2 favorite dci 2011 moments. I’m happy
Elsa's Procession! Definitely my favorite. So. Emotional.
Excited to see Phantom this next summer with Shaw and Sage back
That Phantom kick.
Wow thank you all. Have been only 3 x in Orlando- BEST!!!!🤗👍🎁 ever!!!
I agree PR 2003 was the perfect show.
Love the performances!
Thankful that the first 2 in this video are literally my 2 favorite ballads pre 2013
Outstanding selections :)
You are getting a lot of hate mail for this list. I enjoyed Juliet, Harmonic Journey, Angels and Demons, E=MC2, and 15 Minutes of Fame. Also For The Common Good. Those are probably some of the best shows I've seen. Don't listen to anyone commenting. This is your personal opinion. Let others have theirs.
Thank you so much for the positive feedback!
Elsa's hit a soft spot for me. @7:50 was some CRAZY visuals!!!
sooo..... top 9 (2011-2013) and harmonic journey.....
Lol. My wife was in that guard!
This is called "My Top 10"...for those leaving thumbs down and rude comments...get busy and create your own post !
The Phantom Regiment Harmonic Journey closer was actually the same one used in my closer for my MB show of this year.
My god they were all amazing !
Angels and Demons was my favorite in the batch
nice list. I enjoyed it
I'm so glad I can see the awesome uniforms before all the weird costumes started making their way into DCI.
Phantom 03 is such an amazing show.
Amazing.... like always...
In my opinion, not including SCV '04 is a serious crime. Scheherazade is I think the best show since Phantom of the Opera in 1989, also SCV. Besides that, I would've included 007 from '04 and maybe 1930 from '09, but good lost anyways!
SCV has had a lot better shows than ‘89 since then..
The good old days, in my opinion these were the days that drum corps was at its peak and most entertaining
I live in Wisconsin and the Scouts should be my corps but I love Phantom so much
FINALLY! NO BLUE DEVILS!!! :D
+Isasi Reyes I would've considered 2011 to be acceptable
The blue devils make me so mad bc they win everything! Like honestly they deserve every win they get because they work so hard and all but come on in 2014 Bluecoats should've won we all know that.
The bluecoats derserved second place, definitely not first.
+The awe$ome TACO The finals run of Tilt was a good run, but it was dirty in some very key points in the brass. There was several times lines were not quite clear, and then the poor screamer... Personally, I feel like Tilt, while an amazing show, should have been placed a bit lower, but I'm definitely satisfied that it got second. It was a great show.
+The awe$ome TACO tbh those last three runs of felliniesque were so close to a perfect score that even though i did not like the show that much, got a well deserved 99.65. Bluecoats are an amazing corps and got what they deserved as well, an outstanding 2nd place finish... but BD deserved the win
You missed the best part of Crown 2012 :'(
@Matthew Harjo yeah dude that's my favorite
We played the beginning of that show in my high school marching band
SCV 2009 simple gifs,Blue Coats 2014 hymn of anxiom,and blue coats 2011 brave new world are probably the best shows ever
You are rong. 2000 Cadets- We Are The Future is the best show ever. If you don’t think so, you are rong
Anyone catch the snare that dropped a stick at 8:56?
1:38 to 1:43
HARMONIC JOURNEY SPEAKING FACTS
What is drum corps?
*Crown 13*
*Cadets 03*
6:36 THATS THE MUSIC FROM THE SHINING
Mason Graves dies irae
Somebody’s a Phantom Regiment fan.
Elsa's Procession is soooooo good
Needs more Cavies
How about the crossmen opener of earth song in 2012?
My co band director played in the Carolina crowns until 2012, while my band director played in the blue coats during the 90s and now they teach our marching band
dont step off with the right
1:11 did he die in a marching accident?
Phantom 2006!!!
Damn you have some good taste
It becomes clearer that the Cavaliers 15 Minutes of Fame breaks a primary rule of drum corps show design. Don't have the entire guard represent a loathesome character with a dark moral flaw. The audience simply can't clap for the antagonist in a twelve minute medium. It's not in the audience's DNA. See: Madison's 2016 Judas (13th place). Same problem here. 8th place.
Who was last?!?!?!! DAAAAMMMNNNNN
10 should be 1
Was I the only one who noticed the "red cape tango"/"point blank" theme at 6:37?
I want to know why he picked these they’re pretty different than mine. Don’t wanna be on his case, just wanna know his elimination process or why chose these performances
what's that scv show at 3:26????
How is the ending of Phantom’s “into the light” 2010 show not in this?
Clay+ Because this is his personal list, maybe he just didn’t enjoy it I dunno
Why cant we have more shows like these
Also Crossmen 2012
Can somebody tell me what song this is at 2:15?
Creep by Radiohead
Who starts at ~5:00 in all white?
Crown
RepubliqueHelvetique Thanks. They really had them hauling ass around the field: lots of ways to wind up with a bloody lip or losing some front teeth.
@@scottlivezey9479 you've got to watch phantom 2007 if you want to see some true athletic prowess.
RepubliqueHelvetique Thanks, I’ll look into it. I did my share of field shows that had flags & rifles flying over me, but moving sideways as fast as they are in close quarters is exposing many embouchures to having some nasty impacts with one misstep.
Pretty good list but i feel like Test Drive from RISE was one of the Greatest moments EVER in DCI history and im not one to like the Boston Crusaders
Why no cavies 2010
Where did u get these clips from?
Even though it's not between 03 and 13 my list would be like
#10 BABYLON
#9 BABYLON
#8 BABYLON
#7 BABYLON
#6 BABYLON
#5 BABYLON
#4 BABYLON
#3 BABYLON
#2 BABYLON
#1 BABYLON
For me its
#1 Babylon
#2 Ouroboros
#3 Tilt
#4 Downside up
#5 E=mc2
#6 SOS
#7 Kinetic Noise
#8 Relentless
#9 Jagged line
#10 Metamorph
Sad there’s no Blue Devils
Jared Johnson BD does not appeal to everyone. I usually dislike their shows.
I like their shows that don’t win
I mean...I’ll give them Fellinisque and Metamorph. The other ones are not memorable at all.
what show is 2:10
I think that’s bluecoats but I might be wrong
What's up with all the weird leg movements nowadays
Visual
I laugh every time I see them, most of them aren't necessary at all
@@evanschwepker9127 fast forward to 2018 lol
I think eney top 10 dci corp could beat the top dca corp, they do much more than the dca corps in my opinion. plus they have more time to practice. RAYE Ruff.
State my assumption: Harmonic Journey turned you on to drum corps (for good reason) where you then started following the most current seasons of the activity but never bothered to look backwards into the treasure trove of great shows from years past.
I can think of probably 5 or 6 shows from 1995-2005 that are as good as Harmonic Journey or better. And a few more from before '95 (I think some of the old dogs would say "more than a few").
north star 89, scouts 88, any of the old blue devils shows, any old scv, and any anaheim kingsmen are all phenomenal
where's Babylon?
Babylon was after 2013
Babylon?
Keegan Headlee Read the title again. Babylon was 2018.
The first one.........................ah, a little bit over the top dramatic....LOL I was laughing the entire time cause the DM was laying on the ground. And her with the sword............LOL
St. Paul no offense, but...you don’t have a clue.
@@Chris_Sokolhave to agree. The power there, man. YIKES
no one talking about les misreables? ok then
I was literally saying the exact same thing lol, I even started singing along
cavaliers 2006 machine shoulda been here
Anyone else think Crown ruined that show by making the DM a circus performer at the end? Totally ruined a brilliant show for me. Totally A BOA moment when I was expecting elevation beyond basic concepts.
Proper ass list.
Gee how annoying is your screen overlay? Very.
"HD"
This list is more like top 9 moments from 2011-2013 ... and Phantom Harmonic Journey just because. Also, this list is super whack. There is some infinitely better stuff throughout 2003-2013.
BD 2003, 2004, 2007, 2008
Cavies 2003, 2004, 2006, 2010
Bluecoats 2010
Cadets 2005, 2007, 2011
just to name a few
Idk, some of these were fantastic moments. Just goes to show you how music and visual affect each of us individually. I loved the visual of 2006 Cavies but not much of the music. And it’s a great show. 🤷🏽♂️
you're missing so much like seriously come on man. 2012 cavaliers? Really?!?! and 2013 phantom regiment and Bluecoats, especially the Bluecoats there wasn't anything that would really get your blood flowing that year, even though that year wasn't very exciting for any drum corp to begin with. 2013 Cavaliers EASILY beats 2012 Cavaliers and you missed probably THE BEST DCI show of all time 2008 Phantom Regiment Spartacus
Like the video states this is MY top 10 moments. This is what I'VE found interested and have enjoyed the most. Feel free to make your own video stated your favorite moments.
Cavies 2012 does not belong in a top 10 best....
Joshua Leyda Fair enough
I agree you missed the greatest show ever....2008 Phantom Regiment
And, in my opinion, I feel like the Crown 2012 moment should have been backed up be about 30 seconds, but this is him top 10.
So bad.
