From a marching standpoint this is only a "so-so" performance. A great many crooked lines and out of sync stepping (watch some of the longer lines and notice the "wave" run from one end to the other).

THE Malagueña!

I marched with the Blessed Sacrament Golden Knights from 1970-1972 and drum Corp during this period was the best ever.

0:12 0:59

Are you ****ing kidding me???!!!?!? That is just… I literally don’t even have the words

This exact show should make a comeback

Could you imaging being in that show? And winning with one of the best ever shows to date?

I know the guy who made the tenor drum shells. He still plays in a band every Sunday night at the Laurelthirst Tavern in Portland, Oregon.

That was then,( I was 1st Baritone in '62). Seems like the Woke BS has dragged you down into sub-par.

The best version of the best drum corps tune…ever

Absolutely awesome. Today you couldn’t pay me to attend a DCI show - sweet Lord how I miss those days.

Here in 2024 to say young Americans shouldn't join the military. They should have to learn an appropriate instrument and march one season of old school summer DCI 💜💫✨

Arrowhead stadium's acoustics was perfect for this type of show. With no disrespect to this fierce horn line, Arrowhead's reverb really adds to the show.

Y’all just don’t understand what a great venue Arrowhead was! Please DCI…. Put the modern corps in that venue.

Best Malaguena ever! 🏆💯❤️

1.4 Million Views....Wow. This is timeless

Man that solo euph is a dream

5:02 Field judge sad cuz he can't find anything to critique.

8 "g" contras. better projection than 16 b flat tubas. yeah, i know the talent level is higher now, i'll take the old days for flat out hair raising goosebumps. call me old. (and i can play the bari solo anytime by request)

i actually cant get over the absolute professionalism and talent of drum corps people bro, im just a rising highschooler in band and they're such role models to me😭😭

One of my favorites “band” pieces.

I truly enjoy watching this show over and over! Very talented group that represents true drum and bugle! Hat's off Madison Scouts well done!👍

That was Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City…I was there!!

Fuck yeah!

And that drill wasn't written by a computer.

The goat

Damn They Were Good !!

This "pit" (or rather a predecessor of one) kicks more ass than some modern pits

Ears bled nd babies cried.

esp love the solo at the end

Still my favorite closer

As long as I've followed DCI (roughly since the 1980s), this is my favorite few moments of any show. I can only imagine how electric it was to be there in person. And such a dramatic finish, when the Scouts came out ahead of Santa Clara and the Blue Devils (who both did a fantastic job in their own right). '88 was just an incredible year for corps.

I regrettably aged out of this corps in 87 and attended finals in KC. Kent Rockow was a freak on the mellophone and Clay Wacholz was a beast on the baritone. Both just normal nice guys with great talent and a pleasure to march with. A magical evening to say the least. SCV and BD were special as well but the Scouts were electric that night!

Classic and priceless!🎉

The lead mellophones this year are the unsung heroes IMO. They were the magic stuff that made this brass line legendary during those big hits. This coming from a lead soprano of the 1990's

Ahhhhh. Back when drum corps relied on the instruments and drums to make the music instead of keyboards and amps

30 years later and the end still gives me goosebumps.

I would love to blow out a set of speakers with a remastered recording of this!! 😍

I remember it well. Everyone in the stands looked like a long eared dog hanging its head out the window of a fast moving car.

This is just so hype, I’d love to be playing in this drumline on this song: even the back breaking North tenors.😂. So much better than all of the band instruments, synth sludge, electric guitars and endless mincing and prancing around of today. The emphasis was here on the music and powerful it was👍🎵

I got to wear one of those uniforms in 1999 marching BDB

Just missing home & found this clip! It's awesome! I marched in there too! Dave was my brother!

LOL!

Very nice, excellent version of song Malaguena, great musicians, drummers, & trumpet solo. Very good performance on field marching. Bravo.

this was scary good

This song arrangement is inspiring all over the world at 90s

goofy ass tenors lmao

#BringBackBugles 🔥🔥🔥

Literally the loudest thing I've ever heard. The place exploded. I marched Sky Ryders this year and we were on tour with them most of the summer, our instructors would make us watch from the end zone, "Look at what they're doing!!!???" Total rockstars, we all worshiped them. I eventually was a Scout but this was monumental. That guard was absolutely spectacular. I mean just watch that rifle feature. Unbelievable

Thank the Lord for Old School Madison scouts. Oh drum corps, where have you gone?
