84 Cadet Contrabase here! This show is a schitshow. We killed it in ´84 to win World Championship. Far better hornline and drumline. We were all teenage professionals. And our show was far more complex than this.

I marched mellophone on the 1994 Cadet show, also west side story. I appreciate seeing & hearing this. I heard some arrangements we had gone over in camp that didn’t make our show then. And the mellophone soli in “cool” was spot on with ours; great flashback. It was all very cool. Thanks for posting!

OMG, it does NOT get any better than this. It is really nice to see just people on the field instead of the flimsy platforms, etc. which take away from the performance. Every group is spot on and Leonard Bernstein would be proud of the way his music was executed. Great job, Cadets and hats off to the fantastic leaders, teachers, choreographers, arrangers and anyone else involved with this outstanding corp. Great job, all!!

do you even know west side story? every single note I've heard so far in the first minute 20 is from it. they're from the very first track, some of them are also in 83. they're playing "something's coming" after that. it's totally recognizable. I recommend listening to the original again. it's all there.

This show is a great example of how badly DCI has devolved into gibberish. Watch 84, then 94, and then end with this, and tell me you can find any discernible melodies in this show 90% of the time. DCI has become far too abstract musically, and as a result- dreadfully boring. I can hum 84 or 94 from start to finish in my head. I would never, in a million years, be able to do that as so much of the 12 min show consists of music without melody, little that you can discern as coherent- all, I presume, in an attempt to be more highbrow, but along the way, you gotta be losing a ton of the audience. I cannot be alone in hating the form that DCI has mostly transitioned into.

The M&M is absolutely amazing. The evolution of drum corp since the 1960s, when I was first exposed, is unbelievable. I believe it began with the Bridgemen, who broke the mold and changed what we see on the field. Back in the day, the Senior Corps were the creme de la creme. Today, DCI marches circles around them. However, I must say I love em all.

I think the difficulty in this show lies in the transitions between the various West Side songs(there's like 14 songs on the West Side soundtrack) ...the Cadets always incorporate great musical and rhythmical intricacy in their pianissimo playing which sometimes gets lost in the stands and in video.
@maximilianalexander28233 жыл бұрын
Having marched this show. The difficulty was that we didn’t stop moving and playing. It was rare for us to park and play. It is odd to say this but the 2009 cadets came out very strong but just got very tired towards the end of the year. The show is very difficult because it just demanded too much stamina, both physically and musically.

@@cleverchickenable It wasn't a penalty, just that the percussion score from semis to finals dropped 1 point (out of 20, which is then divided by 2 when added to the total score) from 3rd place down to 7th, and it's speculated the drumline kind of fell apart after the snare player fell. Crown's score dropped from 97.55 to 97.50 semis to finals and we had a 97.20 on both nights. If our percussion score stayed the same, or only dropped by .3 or less, then we would've gotten the silver.
