One of the Staff members at the corps that I used to March would say “and remember kids why do we do this” and the corps respond with “ for the money”

5:30 lol the bass drum tapping off, “no no no! No!” And just stops lol

It's a real shame that 95% or more of the people there had no idea that they had just witnessed GREATNESS! They probably thought that it was just some high school or college band. A Disney parade is hardly the venue for showing off Drum Corps talent.

Those poor quads only playing quarter notes on 2 and 4 lol...

One of the best drumlines in the world and they’re playing easier music than high schools

at 2:17 they pass a business called "Splitsville," and go into a bass drum cadence at the same time.

No expense was spared on the creativity of those snare parts.

The syncopated sneeze @3:14 was the most interesting part of the drum score.

5 minutes of rehearsal is good enough for this parade

Imagine watching Machine (2006) and this video immediately following it in the playlist.

can I get a transcription for the quad part?

Hey Cavies, my middle school band called...they want their music back.

I would have been the one person to yell *SPLOOIE!!!* as they passed by XD

2:21 my favorite part of this sequence is that the bass drums start and it sounds pretty heat. And the drummers start getting hyped and im expecting the sickest drum rhythm ever. Then they start playing eighth notes

At 3:09 a share drummer sneezes for count off that's hilarious

3:15 bless you

This video should be titled, Cavies Castrated by the Mouse House.

I think that they should have went ahead and be the real Cavaliers in this parade. They should have played a few excerpts from their show instead of playing quarter notes. Give these people (that don't know) a real taste of Drum Corps! Otherwise, it's a waste!

Don’t be so quick complain about the musical choice: Disney is very particular about what their guest groups play, and they chose the song, not the Cavaliers. I’ve marched there with my high school a couple times and they were total hardasses. If the Cavaliers ran the show for their Disney parades, it wouldn’t be a total snoozefest.

Lol this must have been so embarrassing to them

A+ comments section. Would recommend reading if you ever marched D1 and were part of parades, then these comments will probably make you smile because these people don't get it.

Man, I hated Parades. I remember one year, we left DeKalb at 10pm Sunday and went back to Rosemont School and stayed there overnight. Next day we got up bright and early to do 3 Memorial day parades. Then afterwards..... three of us piled into my car to drive 5 hours back home. Swear to God I couldn't barely move the next day.

Flam Tap, Flam Tap, Flam Tap and Repeat:).

Loved the days where Corps would play sweet street beats. It was a way for each Corp to showcase their unique identities.

They sound great

bless you

Jesus, a world class competitor drumline and corp. Utilize their strengths dammit! its so hard to watch!

I didn't wanna see low brass anyway #Salty

lets just put alto voices in the front. that's gona sound great.

Cavies had a great show this year... I’m glad THIS wasn’t part of it. John Philip Sousa spun in his grave and Marine Musicians everywhere were screaming at their devices while watching. Semper Fidelis should never be massacred like this.

*sneeze* “let’s go again, andddd!”

Other than appearance, why is it they never scatter the different types of horns around so that as the parade block passes by, you hear all the different parts, cords, melodies and such all blended together. Anyone anyone Beuler?

I love a good march. But there's no bounce. There is a certain snap and bounce to Semper that makes you want to March.

I saw my guard tech!!😁😁😁

@ intro...... Guard!!!!!! (Felicia!!!!) stay in step!!! Nice cadence drums.

The most boring candance ive heard but its cool sounding.

Is it weird/bad that i was kinda jamming out to semper fid because that is what my marching band plays for parades and yeah this my last year hearing it so yay and sad face

I was at a Memorial day Parade yesterday in smalltown new england and watched a high school and jr high band attempt to play J P Sousa. They both did a better job than what I just watched. I expect and appreciate parade rabble in smalltown, it's Americana at its best. But these kids need a model of how things can be. Not accomplished here.

Can I ask the Cavaliers what two cadences were played?

Hey Cavies, Rosemont Middle School called...they want their f-ing cadence back.

What does the pit do on days like this?

All those tubas and can't hear them at all.

Muito top

so did the wood winds forget about this or was the people in front without instruments the woodwinds

Can I get some guard equipment/work please?

Where is he plum at?

How is it I'm never at Disneyland at the right time to see these showings?

What's the name of the song they are playing?

Qual o nome da música ?

feel so bad for the drumline, literally some of the best percussionists in the world and in the top 12 of best marching percussionists and they're parts are just nothing 😭😭😭

That part at 3:06 is totally from a George Mason 2016 exercise.

Ayyyyyyyeeeeee mellos in front! Why doesn't my band do this?

what was the name of the song they played, i can't seem to put my finger on it.

Song?

name song?

So...where are the Cavaliers? When do they play?

No low brass ok I see how it is

Basically

F in chat for quads I'm a trombonist and I could do that

Needs more contra

That was nice to watch

What happened to Bunco rules

too easy. where's the razzle dazzle

2:10

What a disgrace to this or any corps. And some high schools too.

gesundheit

Boii hay you messed up one of the tenors

I don't know why there are negative comments on here about this corps playing an "older style" of march and percussion. I totally understand it's 2018 and music/drill are far more intricate than years ago. I don't however see any problem with a corps making a tribute to how things were done in the past. Need I remind many of you in these comments of how rich and historical the cavaliers are..... founded in 1948 I believe. Just a few weeks ago I heard the Cadets playing a piece they did in their award winning 1993 show

few things. 1. Marching at Disney WORLD (no idea where this video was taken) is SUPER fun.2 It was BLISTERING hot when we were there.3. Very good Cavaliers 4.Sunburn + Uniform= unbearable pain.6.Our in between drumline break is a lot cooler and better. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rJ-gftd_s6vMkas.html And thats what we wore at Disney.

The guard is obviously geeked because they are in Disney World and they just can’t wait to see all the Ah-Mayzing Disney characters and pose for pictures with them and share them with their male friends. I mean, just look how “happy” they are!

Show the baris some love Dx

Now THAT is a drumline

O

Why are the quad parts so boring

Oh come on Mellows, you can sound much better than that. It's a little late in the game to be playing "hit or miss" on the music.

This primitive, classic military march has almost nothing to do with these cosmopolitan, refined performers. It's painful to watch. Look at the personalities of these marching members in this video-- the last thing they should be playing is a cigar-chomping army barracks march. Look at the faces-- they're exquisitely artistic, sensitive, refined men. The guard is fucking elegant. They're cherubic, angelic, clean shaven and camera ready. With their dance training, they don't march, they float like eagles. Soft and mysterious like drifting fog. They're coiffed and even delicate in some ways-- they're almost a mystical illusion. But let's face it, the Cavaliers' recent eleven minute programs don't fit the performers' true personalities revealed here in this video (note the royal prince waves. 0:37) For example, this year the Cavies' show coordinator was hung up on a traditional masculine ideal. Why? And the year before they were angry pugilistic political rabble rousers falling prey to propaganda, crotch kicking, and street-fighting and hoo-rahing. And the year before that playing Olympic athletes in combat sports. Come on. What in hell is this macho-obsessed trend about? Are the marching members really enjoying this ridiculous butch posturing? It doesn't ring true to the artistic finesse of the marching members. They're capable of so much more than the recent arm wrestling, tobacco spitting stuff they've been forced to do in these disingenuous "man cave" show designs, which have at their core a desire to obtain some distant masculine ideal from a Brawny commercial. It's false and antithetical to the core of these performers. Sure, they're stretching their range of character portrayals, but come on-- Zac Effron is never going to play a rough-hewn mercenary from Blackwater. Talented as he is, he would never be cast as that. Another example, Madison this year, in a laughable macho-obsession, attempted to portray band of mentally deranged desert fighters like in Mad Max, gut-punching, beheading, ass- kicking, loogie-hocking, and skull-scalping their way through an absolutely laughable and self-conscious desert lumberjack contest, all the while wearing feathers on their heads. Their characters were tribal fighters, but the performers themselves were as far from that character as you could ever imagine casting in any bus and truck tour anywhere. These are dancers, and yes their character work is getting there, but really who can be masculine when you're doing modern dance in tights and twirling flags? That's a tall order. What's happening is that the corps are receiving feedback from charitable donors that the choreography and show design aren't masculine enough. The problem isn't that the choreography is feminine. The problem is it's heart-on-the-sleeve emotive, it's too frantic, it's nervous, harried, spineless and almost comedic looking. There's a trend now to have frantic, fast-paced choreography, the result of which makes it look like the performers are wind puppets in front of used car lots. It's silly-looking and lacks finesse, poise, and ultimately it just looks disjointed and wacko. The second problem is the designers are taking that feedback from charitable donors and reactively selecting the most absurdly tough-guy premise they can possibly think of and cobbling a show around that theme. The themes are almost paranoiacally macho: MMA fighters, professional wrestlers, political activists and union organizers. What's next? Truckers, oil rig workers and leather fetishists? Such ridiculous show themes. A macho show theme cannot suddenly make your color guard something that they at their core beings are not. For example, not one of Madison's guard members is going to live in a broken down Winnebago in the mohave desert, eating snakes and cactus juice and rig their hog with metal spikes, no matter how much eye black they cake on over their moisturized faces, and no matter how much their charitable donors beg them to be more like Mad Max. Come on. Look at the guys in this video. Ain't gonna happen. Another trend that Madison is doing is they're adding psychopathic anger to substitute for masculinity. Judas. Anger. Mental instabiilty. Mad World. Mad Max fighters. (The Mad Max performers looked almost sick by the end of the season.) All their anger was an unfortunate mis-direction because the Last Man Standing show had no reason for being. The story made no sense, dramatically, and didn't match the core values of the organization. Something's gotta be done with these show designs. They must begin to fit the nature of the performer. The mystical. The elegant. The refined. The complex. The cool elegance of super heroes. So, designers must do away with their donor-guided quest for hollow displays of hyper- masculinity which ring false, have an acrid odor of inexplicable violence, and in the end just fall flat.

a once proud corps from the 60s now look like a joke. this is not real drum corps. I feel bad for Don warren.

put the horns TOGETHER, this sucks

Those uniforms look like shit, they need to go back to the old school ones

Those costumes, can't even call them uniforms, look absolutely terrible.

everyone complaining about the parts has never marched a disney parade and doesn’t understand how they work
