Oh shit, thats cool

epic 😎

Adam I was bass 3 and from Crossmen :)

I watched this episode at the time, right after "that day" in September. Powerful drums!! What a performance!! I have been looking for this for years!! (I forgot it was a "top ten" list haha) I will be watching this over, and over!!

@@tkvids1377 I just thought about this again. That was a fun afternoon.

I met Al Chez, he's a cool dude.

sam signorelli my band director is huge friends with the guy, he comes and plays for us every year at our school, our director is even a member in his band

I know the mans a god! Helped out with the crossmen leads for the past few years. Awesome dude and totally kick ass.

Al Chez was a consultant for the brass line in the drum corps I used to march with "back in the day" He's an awesome guy!

I only wish he stayed one more year for that W.

neilyvanneily I'd guess it's just the pit members playing cymbals like they do for parades these days.

neilyvanneily the best drills of drum corps I'd like to see the best drum corps drill

Cadets marched Yamaha for the first time that year and still use Zildjian cymbals.

they wouldn't have. Kinda hard to make a facial expression when your face has been melted off.

MAKE IT BIG MORE BRASS

Can’t react if you’re dead

Deaf

The crowd would have melted.

OOF

that's an oof

They still are technically

The clapping couldn't have helped

Heyitsbacon Gosh... there can’t be anything I hate more than people who have 0 sense of time/musicality. Like, how hard can it be to clap to a drumline of 20+ drummers?...

Someone explain this to me please

Incon yeah I don’t get it either

Vibin there playing the devils thang

@@simplyvibinn5417 The Cadets snare line was more known for tight sticking in the traditional sense with hands close to the drum head. A main rival, the Blue Devils from Concord, CA had a high sticking style commonly called "monkey drumming." John Stone ^^^ offered the suggestion that by exaggerating the high sticking that the Cadets were making fun of the Blue Devils snare line. @sam signorelli (Blue Devils veteran soprano bugle and true expert on all things drum and bugle corps), did I get the explanation close to correct?

TKvids 13 al chez?

fr8fr6dr that's a mouth full

similar to The Raging Pepper's question, there wouldn't be a reaction, because they would all be cleaning up the mess in their pants. trust me, saw the show 7 times, needed new pants after every one.

Hoovie Doovie BHAHHAH also pretty sure it would be way to loud on the sound satge

Lennon Pike I think any exposure is good exposure in this situation. I actually don't think it was that bad.

I agree. DCI being invited on a top network show to be a part of one of the most popular skits is actually great exposure.

it's both. it's great exposure but in an incredibly lame way.

jck1794 I don't see how this is lame? The crowd liked it, it's simple yet fun.

We actually played some decent notes, especially the bassline, even though they ended up cutting our feature :)

Jonathan Watson Hey Jon

VerticalPlanker Yooooo

Gunter Heisler you see the tenors in the back, so probably pit on cymbals

It was November of 2001

Kinda doubt that. I'm sure they did not take from the future

I was thinking the same thing. It's TV. What's more visual on a drumline than the tenor line???

2001 Champion line from the year they had the sickest Tenor solo EVER

I meant 1999

Salvador Flores yup!

Remo white max. 2001

Apparently that was Jeff Queen. Got called in to play with them for the night I guess.

ikarooz I think people are just annoyed because dci never gets ANY press, so when it does, people want it to really convey what the marching arts is all about, and what makes us so passionate about it, and this was a pretty watered down and rushed. But I agree, to most people, this was probably pretty dope.

We had very little time to play together, parts were "written"right before taping

Will Cochran yeah , but Racine is unfortunately folded now

I think it's 2001

Thanks man!

The great one we literally had about an hour to put it together, most of the drummers in this group arent even Cadets

Lol they put it together in a few hours, it’s a talk show, not finals night at Lucas oil stadium. Lighten up

Why what happened?

It does

Ur dirty jussie

Have you ever played in a TV studio? Polished hard floor, glass and steel walls, open steel beam ceilings, massively long but shallow rooms. You may as well be playing inside an underground cavern. Impossible to hear anything - because you hear everything that was ever played in the last 10 seconds. Horrific sound live.

They had very little time to rehearse and prepare for this

You suck kid

The fuck does this even mean
