  • @jared0111
    @jared0111 4 роки тому +2

    the music moment you described after the show ended really is a profound and special thing. it's not just being unified with pride while competing with your fellow members, or the knowledge that it's your final opportunity to perform with (or even be in the vicinity of) this family of people, performing something you've rehearsed every day for months and months, since after finals, IT'S ALL OVER, and everyone goes home to wherever in the country/world they're from.......but on top of all that, it's about that feeling when you see, hear, and FEEL the crowd being affected by your performance. in my 5 summers of doing this (03-07), my most memorable and cherished on-field moment was at the climax of our (bluecoats) 2006 ballad, and i can still remember the exact feeling at the moment we arrived at our big major chord. i can picture the view of the crowd in wisconsin from behind the bell of my horn and feeling this tangible rush of energy from the crowd, the emotional resonance of all the harmonies, melodies, and dynamics we'd been building up. (ironically, or perhaps not, in a meta kind of way, that sort of connection was kinda the concept behind our show as a whole.) i felt unified with the crowd, like they felt what i was feeling in that moment. it's the big payoff, the culmination of months of effort.....but don't sell your own emotions short!! what you experienced is exactly the point, and i appreciate your earnestness and humility in terms of sorting through your responses. we do it all summer long, day in, day out, and it's exciting (and difficult) to push ourselves to be as good as possible and all, but there's really nothing like sharing this craft with a crowd of people, reveling in their surprise, and basking in their gratitude and enjoyment. it's truly a two-sided conversation, and reactions from people such as yourself, whether it's in crowds, and online like this, is the exchange of energy we do it for. also, what you said about old drum corps being pretty similar to modern drum corps, and the honor of carrying on these traditions and keeping the legacies going, are both so so so true. it really is an immense honor to help carry the torch for the activity, in the footsteps of these timeless shows we know and love. there are a lot more similarities than differences; rule changes or not, it's still the same 'thing.'
    for what it's worth, i'm not sure drum corps is dying, or even getting less popular than it was 10, 20, 30 years ago. yes, there are less corps than there used to be, but there are still full stadiums around the country as the tour is going on, and thousands and thousands of people auditioning. people like to say it's less popular because they're not happy with some of the modern rules changes, and want to act like the changes killed the activity just because they're mad about the changes. it's not 'popular' like mainstream popular, but it still seems pretty healthy. while some people hate the new rules, others love them. i love older shows (especially once asymmetrical drill became a thing in the mid-80's) and new ones alike....i used to be cranky about electronics and rule changes, but i love the performance level of where the activity's at these days, so i'm just happy to be along for the ride. cheers to anyone who got this far!! much love and here's to hoping for a strong and healthy comeback for our beloved music-pageantry-sport in 2021!

    Also, your perception and feeling about how it feels to perform is spot on, but what I find even more amazing is that you TOTALLY get the feeling of family and camaraderie everyone that's marched with EVERYONE else that's marched drum corps. It's an instant bond and feeling of understanding and friendship. You *know* how hard they worked, you *know* that person went through hell but also experienced the best times and biggest sense of accomplishment.
    I've actually got jobs because an interviewer knew what drum corps was and saw I'd marched on my resume'. They understand that level of hard work, dedication, and teamwork is something few people can match, and I'm so, so thankful to this day I got to experience it. :)

    Just a few fun facts. Those are all G bugle horns with 2 valves. Meaning there are several notes that are impossible to play on those horns and they were very hard to play in tune. 128 member limit back then. Now it is 154 members so the pit and guard are much smaller. Typical hornline was 64 members compared to todays 80ish. No speakers, soundscapes, synths, amps or microphones. It was a different animal in 1988 ... when DCI was just beginning to become a visual art form. Color guards had only been incorporating dance and non military equipment maneuvers for about 6 years. Also, 7 years prior, 98% of the corps were still marching symmetrical drill ... the crab step (drumline) hadn't been invented yet and the pit didn't exist .. all instruments had to be marched.
    So, this is the genesis of what you see in todays art form. Some would call it the Golden Age of DCI. It is definitely drum and bugle corps. This is my era from when I marched ... but I see it as a stepping stone toward the future marching arts education that we enjoy now. Most kids today are taught by people that marched with me, back in the day. The talent levels in 2019 are incredibly high. So much to look forward to :)

    You got to see the two styles that make up Vanguard. On one side, Vanguard is amazing at doing arrangements of Broadway musicals such as Phantom, Fiddler on the Roof, Les Miserables, and a few others. On the other side, they are incredible at performing a lot of 20th century and contemporary classical music, which is what you heard in the Babylon production. It definitely does good to watch corps in the 80s and 90s because you get to see the corps' musical and visual identity evolve and change from year to year. That was a golden period of drum corps.

    Something to be said about the quality of sound without being dependent upon amplification and electronics...

    This was the show that caused me to fall in love with Drum Corps
    Something to bear in mind: in 1988, they were play 2-valved G Bugles, and not standard Trumpets, Horns, Baritones, and Tubas like they are now. So, not only are people playing like this, but they are doing after having to learn a totally different fingering system compared to what they have played in high school and/or college.

    FMM -- The Cavaliers '77-'87 (Baritone/Contrabass)-- As performers, most of us are so focused that we try to block the crowd reaction, but when it hits, it's a feeling that's very hard to explain. Sometimes the crowd can be so loud that it overpowers our playing, and that's when it becomes difficult. When your group hits on all cylinders as Santa Clara Vanguard did here, with the emotion and power, it's pretty awesome. That's a hard feeling to beat, knowing that you left absolutely everything on the field, with no regrets. That's what makes it all worth it (win or lose)

    Courtney, I have watched this particular show dozens of times. I have never cried at the end until I watched it along with you here. Somet hing about your genuine reactions of amazement and emotional connection moves me and makes me feel less like a “band nerd” (U.S. derogatory slang for school kinds in band)! Cheers! And you should totally come to the states and see a show in person someday!

    I loved your reaction to the show!! I marched in a smaller drum corps back then and Santa Clara was my favorite Corps. Even in a smaller corps you have a overwhelming sense of pride. There is nothing else like this. It takes so much energy and commitment to do this. Santa Clara did this show but very different arrangements 2 years in a row. The 1988 show was so very incredible and the 1989 was even more incredible. Vanguard played after us at many shows and we got to go in the stands to watch all the other corps perform. It was such a magical time beck then. I wish I had a time machine to go back!!!!

    Years ago the championships took place in different locations around the states and sometimes i could get there. Once they decided to centrally locate it it was too far away. But i can understand the costs involved to get corps from one end of the country to the other. We did see the dci in Philadelphia in 1976 i think was the year..

    It is overwhelming. Was there on the 50. If you don't know the story of Phantom of the Opera, watch the musical (not the movie) and you will gain an appreciation of what they did on the field. Especially the meaning of the mask/masquerade. And you are absolutely correct on the big brass sound. It is what keeps me coming. If you like it in the videos, just wait til you hear it live. There is NO comparison.

    You were saying towards the end of the video that you cant imagine the feeling of playing while performing. Well in that case Im obligated to recommend a video called “Bluecoats 2016 Trumpet Soloist Supercam” by Ben Gunnarson. It gives a very unique look into how it can look and feel while performing a show like this. I cant recommend this video enough and I catch myself watching it at least once a week.

    Hi Courtney! Me again. This is one of my all time favorite shows. When this thing hit the field, Phantom of the Opera was in its first year on Broadway and tickets took a year to get! This is old school drum corps but still extremely relatable. Everyone knows the music and the story so it fun just to sit back and enjoy it all. PS, There’s lots of little hidden surprises in all these shows so watch them a few times and see what you missed, you’ll be amazed!!!
