Thank you everyone, it truly was our pleasure to be on the field one last time with BLOO to perform for you. I remember lining up to 27 when I was in BLOO 94. It was absolutely AMAZING! IF YOU EVER GET A CHANCE TO DO IT ONE LAST TIME, YOU BETTER TAKE IT OR YOU WILL REGRET IT!

As someone who marched in the 2017 vanguard alumni corps, this was a lot of fun to watch it again and see the progression of alumni corps shows over the years

Got to see both the 27th Lancers and the Scouts alumni corps live and they were both absolutely incredible. I'm sure all of them were a lot of fun, but I know both of those just blew me away. Bluecoats this year was just so good as well.

A time when life was good for teens. TY

Now , THAT’S DCI at it’s BEST .

As many would disagree with what I will say, but I could never put myself through the pain of marching again. I've already accepted the fact I had graduated from my school and aged out from a local Corp that stepping out on a field again would make me to emotional to play. Loved every minute and would give anything to relive it all again. But not just the tease of 10 minutes and done.

Madison, SCV, Cavies, & Blue Coates gave me the chills. All are outstanding!

I had the distinct pleasure of marching in the Madison alumni corps with my idols from the corps. All of the corps here were awesome! I was most moved though by Becky conducting When You Wish Upon a Star. That beautiful sound and blend and Becky still looks great!

A blue coater of '22 is looking jealously at its alumni corps with their proper uniforms. Madison and Star of Indiana was a true joy to watch. Thanks!

I was there in Foxboro 1994. not a dry eye by the end of Danny Boy. Sure do miss 27!

LOL the bottle dance with walkers! I had forgotten about that, thank you Bridgemen. :) Also Bluecoats.... you've really raised the bar. Just wow.

Can’t wait to be in The Cavaliers Alumni Corps! I’m so proud to be a member of that organization.

Those star and scouts performances really knocked it out of the park

Thanks for the alumni shows. I miss the 27th lancers. The bluecoats put on a good show. Nothing better when you work hard, give the crowd your best effort, and get that standing ovation!

MADISON! Bloo, 27, Vanguard, these had the most emotinal reaction from me. The fact that those men and women love Drum Corp as much as 40, 50 years later and can still perform with that level of intensity and sense of tradition and dedication, blows me away. I marched in what used to be known as a "class A" corps from NYC, we never made it to "Open Cĺass" or whats known as "World Class" today, but the fun and hard work was in the trying. I would love to get together with my former corps members, most of us still keep in touch, but I can't imagine there are DCI alumni Corps performances for "Class A" or today's "Open Class". Too bad there isn't a venue for corps that existed and competed in the years before DCI.

Man, the crowd went APE-SHIT for the Scouts!!!

The Cavies step over drill is so classic!

Stars quality of sound and blend was top notch, just not volume, what a high water mark for alumni corps

I performed in two of those alumni corps...

Well, that was absolutely goose-bumpy.

Seeing the Hawthorne caballeros performance brought back memories of the great Hawthorne muchachos. I saw the muchachos 1975 DCI finals prelim performance live in Philly. They were fantastic!!!! We thought they would go on to win the title. Disqualified due to over age members. While I understand the situation, still feel sorry for the members of that corps.

Scouts holy shiiiiit

The bridgemen bottle dance is hilarious

27 the GOAT of alum corps

Now THIS is how DCI was when DCI was really throwing down. Trumpets squealing every bar, loud but very controlled chaos. Hell yeah. EDIT!!!: 16:36 I WISH I WAS THERE SO BAD!!!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Spirit of Atlanta, 1980, baritone. Georgia On My Mind!!!, let it be me,sweet Georgia brown.. WOOOOW so long ago!!!!!!

Fantastic 😍 except for the tights and dancing. Bring on the rifle lines.

no way the BLuecoats Alumni Corps did their TILT thing! that's kinda awesome.

27 has my vote. (if we're voting) And did you catch that crowd size back in the day?

It’s so frustrating that Alumni corps play on semi-finals night instead of Finals. They need to switch that Inpact middle school kid band to semis and move the Alumni corps to finals.

You forgot the Mighty St Joes 1995 & 2001

The bluecoats alumni show was cool to see a glimpse of what downside up would be like if they were wearing good uniforms

Need an update with Troopers Legacy Corps 2023!!!

Man I wish I could’ve been part of drum corps. Especially the Bluecoats. Sadly, I didn’t know too much about it until after the age cutoff. I just have to live vicariously through the members of today’s corps.

Where was Mighty St Joe's, I was lucky enough to see them in 1995 when I came over from the UK with the Mayflower Corps when we toured that season with the Nashua Spartans.

Bloody Epic

It's a shame DCI wouldn't televise St. Joe's from Batavia in 1995.

Lancer's rifeline👍👍 Cabs for showmanship. Madison for everything.🎉 Kingsman for precision.

Other alumni corps, most who didn't make it to DCI- Blue Stars did though- include Phantom Regiment 2016 (50th Anniversary), Blue Knights 2018, North Star 2017, Boston Crusaders 1995 and 2005, Blessed Sacrament 2005, Colts 2013, and Emerald Knights (50th) 2015. Here's my rankings if this was a top 12 (and unfortunately I don't have scores, as hardly any of these would score above a 90 on any sheets, a few corps like Star might win horns but score very low overall having no visual program.) Madison Scouts 2006 for me will probably always be the GOAT but Bluecoats is very close- both were overwhelming emotional experiences. It's a wonderful thing that a corps placement at finals has no bearing on how much they are loved. 1. The Madison Scouts (68th anniversary) Alumni Project, 2006. 2. The Bluecoats 2022 (50th Anniversary) 3. The Santa Clara Vanguard 2017 (50th Anniversary) 4. The Kingsmen Alumni, 2007 (The Blue Machine) 5. Cavaliers Anniversary Corps 888 (60th Anniversary) 2008 (The Green Machine) 6. 27th Lancers (25th Anniversary) 1994 7. Star of Indiana Alumni Corps (25th) 2010 8. Phantom Regiment (50th Anniversary) 2016 9. Chicago Royal Airs (48th Anniversary) 2002 10. Bridgemen 2016 11. Blue Stars (50th Anniversary) 2014 12. Blue Knights (60th Anniversary) Mile High Stadium, 7/12/2018 High Visual: Santa Clara Vanguard High Percussion: Santa Clara Vanguard High GE: Madison Scouts High Brass: Star of Indiana Spirit of Disney Award: The Bridgemen

Nobody talked about the 07 Kingsmen Alumni Corps. I was on the field that night. What gives.

I hope that even with all the problems that Cadets has that they would be able to do a Cadets 100 Year alumni corps in 2034

opening was Danny Boy, and... some Holst piece, no?

I miss the 27th Lancers

1:40 ESPAÑA CANI

btw yall forgot SCV alumni 02

On one hand, I'm bummed 07 BD/SCV wasn't there (of course, our last show was Stanford). On the other....we had no battery, did a park & bark only, and were not allowed to play by ourselves...the 07 A corps brass had to be included. Sadly, a true BD alum corps will never happen so long as current BD admin is in place.

7:39. that's the life, baby.

10:36 WHERE IS THIS SONG FROM I recognise it from Carolina crown 2016 relentless but it’s the star of Indiana? I’m so curious I wanna see the show it’s from

Annnnd....why do you hate The North Star?

i dont get DCA alumni corps. i mean you could just go back to the DCA group

*Were the cavs playing bugles? *That’s the Madison that I remember 😊 *My bias will always show with SCV ❤ Just drum corps at its best. Blowing notes, not theatrical prop dependent.
