I would pay real money and the souls of my family to have seen this show live.

Classiest and probably the most influential on the average HS band kid show in all of DCI history.

9:46 has gotta be one of the prettiest sounds any drum corps has ever made

I will fight anyone who disagrees that this is probably the best show of DCI history. It changed the show style of drum corps forever

That company front at the end... it gets me every fucking time. Chills throughout my entire body. Such beautiful synchronization amongst the entire corps.

34 years later, still a landmark show for me. Exquisite,.powerful, enotional.

This show is what lit the fire in me for marching band. My band actually played a phantom showed my sophomore year and it was VERY heavily influenced by SCV's one. Bro. I am 32 and still get chills at this.

当時、もの凄く感動したのを思い出しました。確かSCVは2年連続でオペラ座の怪人の怪人だったかと SCVのプライド見たなーと思っていましたm(_ _)m

Still the most beautiful show I’ve ever heard

Gutted by the news about the 2023 season. I really hope they can pull through, Vanguard would be one hell of a loss for the Drum Corps community.

What a show indeed! Still gives me chills. I have to expand on this, it’s brought back so many memories of those days of DC tours and the blood sweat and tears that go into it. I remember watching this show in Ogdensburg, NY in 89. We had already seen 88s edition from DCI championships of that year so we knew a lot of the arrangements just because of how closely we watched this performance. By the end of this performance, my friend and I were literally in tears as it was so profoundly breathtaking to watch. There’s just something about ALWs compositions that make them so memorable. The melodies are engraved into my memory for life!

Thank you so much for posting this. It warms my nostalgic ass heart. Trying to indoctrinate my kid into loving marching band as much as I did.

My favorite SCV show ever!!!

Saw this live when I was five, I still love it

The ending always gets me, remember watching this show in my “hell week” for marching band.

Wishing SCV was somehow here again

They needa bring this show back sometime soon

35 years later and I still don't know how they made that guy disappear at the end. 🤔🤷🏻‍♂️😂

My dad turned me onto this. Between this and Madison Scouts 1988 Malaguena! Wow. Wish I could travel back in time. Personally not down with all the electronics and vocals.

Still my favorite... to this day!

0:22 Goosebumps every time! 🤤

I used to go to see them competing at Spartan stadium with my Godfather great memories 😢

You wonderful human being who posted this I love you

never forget this. the best Ive ever seen

Great show hands down!!!

i wish somebody made a transcription of this show

watching this after hearing the news that scv isn't fielding for 2023 :(((

My 3 favorite SCV shows 1978, 81, and 89. And '82 the best hornline.

*Corps

it is not marching band it is called drum corps

This show is nearly 40 years old and I still wanna know how they did the magic trick at 11:22

It’s not a band… it’s a drum corps

Listen! Those are Contra Basses! No need for amplification…

Imo, this is way better from a musical and visual stand point than it's 1988 predecessor.

Which year is this from?

This is not a Band!!!! Please don't mistake them for a Band...A Band has Woodwinds...

Calling a Drum and Bugle Corps a band is a big no-no. At least is was in this era.

They got jobbed in 1988. This 1989 version was payback for a piss poor decision. Madison’s 1988 iconic 7 plus minute Malagueña was not the show SCV or Devils had Nothing Madison did brought emotion other than the loud ending. SCV show had me in tears

Please don’t call drum corps “band”

Where are the silly poses and massive props? No scatter drill? And the hats are getting in the way of the performer's faces. I'm not seeing a whole lot of emoting from the performers. A truely sad show only for dinosaurs!
