I made the mistake of watching this with my daughter....as the Scouts were forming the "fleur-de-lis", I choked up and stated to cry. These MEN.....telling their audience who they were....and who they are....and what they stand for....without saying a word....without playing a note.....standing together.....standing proud.....THANK YOU

YES Paul, caught me completely off guard, I am totally balling!! My dear friend's son marched the Scouts for I believe three years, and we are trying to plan on going to Finals this year, I can not wait. I went to band camp at Whitewater in '87 and '88 and have wanted to go since, BUCKETLIST will be almost complete...

Paul - I had the exact same response just now, seeing it for the first time. It's been 35~ish years ago for me, and to this day I can't hear Ice Castles or Never Walk without choking up. This just slayed me. Maybe, one day I'll be able to join in one of these. That would be a dream come true!!!!

If you look at the close ups of the sops, I'm pretty sure that at least some of them (if not all) are using three-valve Bb horns. 3:26 shows this pretty well.

Robert Wagner Didn’t know those were ever produced. Thanks for letting me know

@SamanthaIreneYTube 3 жыл бұрын

Owen Ziegler yeah, they were legal after 1991 I believe with corps slowly adding them in section by section. A lot of people leave the 3-valves out of the discussion because it doesn’t suit their arguments of why G bugles are “inferior”. They’re not inferior at all, just some manufacturers produced bad ones, like Dynasty. Kanstul and King had great G lines.

If it wasn't for the dedication of Drum Corp from the 60' s ,and 70's, that Drum Corps, and all Colored Guards had back then, and the people that dedicated so much of their time, efforts, and money to keep it all going, there still wouldn't be any Drum Corps today. I had seen so many Corps, that almost went under, if it wasn't for the people, who contributed it all, to keep them going, is what kept them marching.

I think trombones add some awesome effect to a horn line. Bass trombones are very loud which isnt that what the people against Bb horns want something loud?

this display of TRUE Drum Corps was amazing. The way it was meant to be.brings us back in time when just coming out of the background onto the field seeing the different uniforms of each corps stimulated the audience. Knowing that a corps like the Scouts were just in town to perform made me circle the date on the calendar. The sound, the songs the precision. WOW!!!!! TODAY!!!! everyone looks the same looks the same can't tell who is who as uniform traditions are out the window. too many gimmicks, field props all over the place, unrecognizable music, dancing or running around the field by everyone, singing, non bugle instruments, singing, amplification(something Madison has never needed). Change is always inevitable but today's Drum Corps need to keep more of their roots. They have gone too far off course in my opinion

What were some of the earliest years represented? And who were the soloists and screamers? This show gives me chills… awed at the commitment, talent, brotherhood and joy of these guys. I never joined the Scouts (sadly)… but loved watching them practice in the 60's near my house. I DID get to march on that Camp Randall field (in the UW Marching Band 69-73)… an awesome feeling… and DID attend DCI there in 2006… another awesome feeling. I also had some serendipitous (and fulfilling) encounters with Scouts alumni, drum majors and directors in subsequent years. Very grateful.

+Carl Landsness One of the flag bearers at the beginning was a founding member from 1938. Nearly every year of the corps existence was represented up to this point (2006). The soloists and leads ranged from guys who'd marched in the 70's to the 2000's.

Also...in Remembrance, Don Navis on Baritone, And the famous Ramthun Brothers (Mark and Dave) on Baritone duet at the beginning of Malagena.
