The last 3-4 minutes of this show was insane. Incredible baritones and melos. The power of the G bugle was so much more raw and nasty. Miss that wall of sound!!

Played with such a level of musicality. Bravo.

The BEST color guard!!! So energetic and clean and fun to watch.

I’m not one to complain too much about the current state of drum corps, but this show is as entertaining as it gets! Strawberry Soup took over a third of the show, whereas today’s shotgun style music you’ll get 5 notes and move on. I do appreciate this years Madison closer, it’s got a little bit of that Madison soul in it :).

Given the conditions this is one of the greatest DCI performances ever recorded. The totally spontaneous connection between the crowd and the corps, everyone enduring the rain together & ending with an underrated Madison ballad closer in the tradition of Ice Castles and The Way We Were. Never will we see or hear the likes of this again.

I remember watching 1993 DCI at a Hyatt Regency because only the top 6 were being broadcast live. We watched the bottom 6 at the hotel, then there was a break before the top 6 started. I remember an audible gasps from people around me when we saw the rain pouring down on the Scouts. Scouts were incredible and their 1993 show is still one of my all time favorite DCI Shows. Maybe the rain made it even more exciting.

What an awesome show. I miss real drum corps

I remember watching Live on PBS. IT RAINED!

Like anything else, the old stuff will never get old to the older folk… Madison Corps, regardless of years, will always try to entertain while giving kids in the program(s), a good experience. My musical knowledge was catapulted by marching corps, and my work ethic was also enhanced. I almost say this sheepishly, but in 2027, it’ll be 30 years since I aged out… but the memories are strong and these videos are historic treasures for those who were involved. Politics now within the activity, putting them and my opinion aside, I hope todays youth can appreciate the thousands of feet, upon thousands of feet, both participant and fan, that came before you so you could march today. Please keep the activity going, no matter where you march or how you are involved. (getting off my box now…)

often forgotten this was a great Madison Show and music from a highly under rated Broadway Show great story cast and music.

I love 1984 scouts

You don't see quite as many standing ovations during shows anymore this was truly A classic I was there in 92 my first world championship ever I honestly thought the stadium would erupted in A riot it was deafening I mean that in A good way it was electrifying felt just like being at A rock concert great memories ❤

Man. What I would give to listen to some of these G Bugles in person. Never got that chance.

The slot part is so sick !!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤

It’s crazy to think the ageouts from this year are 50 now. This activity is really timeless. Such a fantastic show. The rain just adds to the hype:)

Based Strawberry Soup Enjoyers

My music teacher in this 💀

Strawberry Soup - the best ever 4:15

Scouts brought the crowd alive AGAIN ... and THIS was ONLY 5th place?!? DCI was already forgetting that crowdpleasing is what this game was always about ...

Snare transcription pleaseeeeeeeee

What a great show. How I miss real drum corps. One of my favorite shows. Awesome drum break in Strawberry Soup and the soprano quartet at 8:05 is fantastic!! No need for fancy props or amps here. Just pure excitement

Saw this show in Jersey live that year. Lots of fun and very powerful. 😎

HOLY SMOKES! These guys knocked the socks out of this one!!!!! And the percussion feature OMG i was drooling and ready to faint by the end of it! This was some GOOD STUFF!!!!

This show is my favorite of all time! Madison Scouts, getting it done baby! We never got to do this one for a show at school, but we did get to use Malaguena one year. That one rocks too! We played the 1980 version. It was so friggin awesome! I miss the opportunity to play SO MUCH. Thank you for posting this video!!!

Bill’s quality in solo work still gives me chills .. RIP old friend 🙂

Way better that sliced bread!

What pipe are you running?

7:15

Does anyone happen to know where to find the snarebreak transcription

Awesome!

Ah, Bill.

Drum break is iconic!

7:45-7:55 yum! The low brass power from the G bugles is what I miss most. Hornlines today just don't sound the same.

1993 Madison Scouts drum break, since I first heard it as a 14 year old freshman, in 1994, marching in my first drum line, playing bass 1, is still my favorite of all time!!! Not to mention the dedication to march in an all male corp, after all they never got to say, "this one time at band camp..." And if they did, well good for them!!!

Can people sight read tenor music like this at this speed? I play trumpet and I can't follow the notes that fast.

The half-time jam in Strawberry Soup is killer

Anyone have the snare parts for the entire drum feature?

8:28 those baris are nasty

i really love that chaotic leading tone by the high brass at 11:06, as the low brass plays those three descending notes. there's some kind of harmony in the chord that adds a lot to the franticness.

Has to be the largest battery on the field for the whole show in modern DCI at 29? 10 snares, 5 Tenors, 6 Basses and 8 Cyms

9:00!!!!!!!

Man, we were good that summer. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I so miss marching DCI!!!

2020 strawberry soup...it would have been amazing to see after the reinvention this year.

Just a quick reminder, that moments before Madison stepped off it absolutely lets loose with about 10 minutes of torrential rain. It was wild and created a very unique bond with the crowd that night.

Thanks for posting! I forgot how cool this show was...love it!!

Really like the brass, percussion and GE wise they are terrific but the guard are so dirty and I find the drill show strange for what ever reason.

This is great! One of my favorite shows from the 90s!!!

I was one of the folks that recruited DCI to Mississippi for the World Championships... I know it was Hot as Hell but this was an unbelievable time for all.... BTW... that football field was used by Walter Payton, Steve McNair and hundreds of other NFL studs from Mississippi. Nice to have added another FEAT to Mississippi Veterans Memorial Stadium!!!!

Amazing performance and solidified my dream to march Scouts which would be realized just one year later. Drove down to Mississippi to watch these finals and they killed it in a downpour. Man I love this show, more keks than the rest of the top 12 combined!
