    Dennis Delucia's concept. Matt Krempanski's brass charts, and Mark Thurston's percussion. Early 90s Crossmen were the best ever of that corps, in my opinion. And 92 was my favorite of those shows.

    Crossmen put out one of the great shows of the early '90s.It says so much that 25 years later this still sticks in your head in a good way: You just know this is that kind of show the members had a great time performing it and worth bragging about to their kids: "..This was one of the best times of my drum corps life, I'l never forget that year."

    The 90's in my humble opinion were the golden age of drum corps. Shows like this one, are proof. Folks can talk all the crap they want about G bugles but I for one think they sound way better, they were made for this environment, not a concert hall.

      What breaks my heart is that kids today just don't know what it's like to have a horn line on G bugles melt your face off. As much as people rave about BD's horn line, they haven't had the same earth-shaking power since switching to B-flat.

    bigger than drum corps. i marched with a few different corps in the mid-2000s and this part of this show is one of the moments from dci history that continues to subliminally reverberate across the activity even a decade later. so many special points in this, from the energy leading into the inevitable last chord, the tangible excitement leading into the drum break, that unforgettable moment when the sopranos boldly re-enter the fray along with that incredible snare & cymbal pattern....truly extraordinary. i play mellophone but these drum arrangements (mark thurston if i remember correctly?) are just something else. gotta love when corps can connect with the audience this potently even when not competing for a title...bluecoats autumn leaves in 1987 certainly comes to mind too, along with the velvet knights, colts 99, magic 02, boston 00, troopers breaking back into finals after decades, madison in the mid-90s and 2001, and plenty more. well warranting of the mid-show standing ovation to say the least.

    I was sitting on the the 45 yard line for this show. One of the loudest horn lines I have ever heard, and this remains one of my favorite musical shows ever. Drum line played their tails off, though tuning was making a transition back then and the activity didn't really have it dialed in yet. So, you don't hear the crisp clean sounds on the recording (or live) that you get today.

      Literally, just because they added electronics doesn't mean it's bad. When done right, it can make a show sound amazing. And if a Corps does it wrong, well then that further distinguishes the void between a bad corps that can't understand the blend of practical music with electronic versus one that can.

      Probably because those who don’t understand the allure of G bugles never heard them live. A good hornline could just peel your face off - no joke, as in my ears would be ringing for the rest of the night. That’s what 1997 BD did to me after finals when they played the “Tommy” chords, and I loved it.
      Bb just lowered the bar so that a decent hornline could sound better quicker - G bugles really requires you to work the horn, and you were rewarded with this gorgeous lush tone and sonority thanks to all the voices being in the same key and overtones that sounded like a choir.

      Right?!! I played contra, and there are some lines that I always would "play" in my mind as inspiration. Star's 1990 and 1992 contra sections were usually there, as were 1987 SCV. But 1992 Crossmen was always in that mix - what a great aggressive sound and then back off and play some beautiful lines with great range, especially the higher register bits. The percussion always get the share of praise for 1992 Crossmen, but their brassline was right there too man and I feel underrated (by comparison anyway).

      That's why I can't listen to DCI during this time period. I don't know what happened but they seem to have fixed this issue recently. I was at 1993 DCI Finals in Jackson, Yikes! :), and Star was so clean but on the CD, they sound super thick. Some people say lines were dirty back then but I marched DCI '88-'90 and I know one thing for sure ; a note or short lick might be dirty at Finals but there is no way a whole phrase will be dirty that late into the year. The players know how to correct the mistakes extremely fast after playing together all summer.

      You can find a few judge's tapes floating around on UA-cam and you can tell from those that it was really clean. Stereo mixing of the mics in the 1990s recordings make a lot of the clean lines sound dirty.

      @@richardmills9359 that's too bad that the microphones got it that screwed up. I've always thought it was a bunch of mud based on the recording. same with that isolated Star snare roll from 93. If you listen to it out of just one speaker it's clean

      Jon Robbins Though I'm a year late to the party, the reason they sound dirty is probably because of the phasing between the mic's. The 1993 recordings were pretty bad in this as well - I remember one time I was listening to 1993 Star's "snare roll" (you know "the cleanest roll in DCI history") thinking it sounded muddy to my non-drummer ears. Then I played with the balance, forgot which side I set it to, and then heard how damn clean it was.
      Throw your 1992 Xmen disc (or load your file) and fade all the way left or right - I'm sure you'll hear how clean it really was. :)

    As a modern Drum Corp fanatic who just got out of high school. Seeing all these "old timers" obsessing with these "older" shows and dissing modern Drum Corps make me laugh. Ya'll look incredibly outdated and old. Don't get me wrong I love this style, it's raw and beautiful. But we get it, ya'll can't move on. When you see shows like TILT, and Blue Devils record setting 2014 brass. They compete and beat shows like this.

    • @oldschooldrumcorps

      If it wasn't for "old school "there would be no "new school" these performers are now your directors, instructors, show designers, arrangers, techs, support staff, bus drivers and ticket buying fans who know and love this activity, and some of us have been loving it longer than you have been alive. Shows like "Tilt" happened because of rule changes allowing amplication of instruments, electronics ( what would "Tilt" sound like without the synthesizer Pitch bend?) We know what we know, and many of us have seen almost every change in Drum Corps ( I go back before there even was a DCI) We did the best with what were allowed to do, and the outcome of all that is what you see today. Imagine the 2014 Blue Devils with no trumpets, no trombones, no french horns, no synthesizers or amplification, no props on the field, less dancing, more marching. Yep, you get "old school" drum corps.

      Maybe Drum Corp was better in the day. Sometimes art/music hits it's peak at certain times. I don't think popular music was the best during my youth but I do believe DCI was better. I do listen to modern DCI but, electronics are B.S. I was listening to 2010 SCV's Bartok show and I heard this awful synthesizer play a melody that should have been played by an acoustic instrument. Progress is fine but not all progress is good. Also ,compare 1992 Cavaliers with 2014 Blue Devils. Not at 6th place show with a winning show.

      And I’m sorry you’ll never get to perform in front of a crowd of 40,000 screaming fans with multiple standing ovations throughout the show. Because today’s shows don’t elicit that reaction nor do that many people come anymore.
      When I watch a show now, which is rare, I marvel at the technical talent of the performers, as I sit on my hands, bored.
      But you win. The modern era “beats” these 90’s monsters but I got to enjoy the experience of entertaining the crap out of EVERYONE in the stands. Not just the ones who “get it.”
