I was just going to ask that it was out of here. I know I guess it was your father that owned them. I can’t tell you every time I listen to that song and watch them. It’s just it doesn’t make you cry spectacular absolutely your father was a brilliant man absolutely brilliant all the money he put into that, very sad sad it’s all gone away now. Yeah those are the days. I never missed one of them not one of them your father’s gone. I didn’t know was your father but I know MAN and revere owned them. God bless him.

Back in the when I was in Drum Corps we carried our tympani and mallet instruments. The music and the drill was exciting. Now drum corps are wimpy ballerina shows.

Such an incredible, moving show - even in 2024!!!

This is my all time favorite 27 show! Nothing but pure entertainment and raw balls to the wall bugling.

One of my favorite DCI shows of all time.....

This corps peaked at DCI East. This was not 2nd place at Finals.

Fun fact : paul Renneck marched 2-7

Totally awesome!

The rifle line though! WOW!

I have been a big fan up the 27th Lancers since their Inception today is September 28th 2024. Foreman member of the Long Island sunrises, 1964 through 1968 Brooklyn New York 1960 1961 snare drummer this video brings back great memories❤❤❤❤

Was it the Lancers who pioneered the double silks? That's what I remember, and the visual effect was always so stunning.

This rifle line, along with the Guardsmen, was the all time best at "dead stops". And they both did it with those hideous tall "Beefeater" hats.

Damn, 2 7 Yo!

Celebrate lets dance to the music. This show was so entertaining every second

Those rifle carrying beefeaters are so very sexy.

Yes sir, military style period is awesome. The guard was always awesome.

I remember the 27th Lancers all too well. They were the most musical corp in the 1980 ‘s and this particular year my hope was they would be DCI Champions. If only the 27th Lancers could return it would be awesome.

3:42. Amazing suicide toss in the color guard, and the videographer missed most of it. Alas.

My brother's marched 78-84. I got stuck with 85 and 86.

Amazing contra solo, but the soprano gets all the video love. The life of a low brass player sucks.

I was in drum Corp in the 70's best time of my life! Met so many people from all over the country!

Crazy awesome!! Those Chicago covers are fantastic!!!

Still amazing after all these years. Love this show so so much

How...on god's green earth...did this group never win the championship.

Where EVERYONE is color guard....only in the Lancers. That suicide rifle toss from the horns....very risky. Reminds of The Silent Drill Team of the U.S. Marine Corps at Marine Barracks, Washington, D.C.

I think that every drum corpe in the world has played crown imperial. I used to belong to the basildon blue eagles and have played it . I was in the horn line playing contra bass .

27th. 3:51 3:55 Was the Greatest Drum Corps ever during their existence.❤❤

2:40. What is this tune?

11:00. Perhaps the most amazing color guard moment in the history of drum corps.

4:45. Please help me remember...Im old. What is this tune?

Sexiest rifle line EVER.

Love the butt pom-poms. Sexy.

That cold open in the guard!!! OMG!!! There has never been such a thing. It was just plain perfect.

I will never tire of seeing this show.

I've always loved those double flags. If I'm not mistaken, 27th pioneered the double flag.

Ah....Back in the day when marching, music, and precision really meant something. These days, it's all about "choreography". No precision in guard work at all.

10:01 Uh....did the DM shart?

OK...thanks a lot videographer. You totally missed the cool guard work at the end of the percussion feature. That's always a highlight, and you missed it. You totally suck.

Were there REALLY 27 snares on that field. Did DCI relax the number limits? I'm seeing a lot more than 126 on this field.

Oh My!! They played The Wee MacGregor!!! How utterly Scottish can you possibly get?!?!?!

Why this group never won top spot is beyond me. They were amazing in every way.

Best precision guard EVER.

27th Lancers...why oh, why did you leave us? Easily one of my all time favorite D&Bs.

My GOD! There has never been such a rifle line as this!!!

I totally and absolutely LOVE the guard take off at the beginning of this show. DM marching forward and the silks doing their crossover. This may very well be the best guard work ever....period. And I'll fight you on this.

Good show, but I'm not a fan of the mid-80s curve-linear drill design. (Please understand...I was a Texas HS band director at the time, and was tasked with writing such drills....I still didn't like it, but it was the trend of the day.). And the guard work just wasn't the same as around 1980. This was always a low budget corps. I suppose their demise was inevitable. A shame really....they were always one of my favorites. Saw them live in Birmingham and I was totally enthralled with the overall show...especially the guard work.

Alas...we didn't get to see the guard at the end of the drum feature. That's always the best part.

Dat Guard tho!!!!

This corps...79-81...is probably my ideal DB. It's just fricking amazing.

Guard just doesn't do it this well any more. They're all about dancing and prancing....never concerned with precision. This is the epitome of color guard work.
