1980's soprano solos and duets

[@briantuma1502]

Begin the Beguine. It began and never ended. One of the longest productions in DCI history. Freakin’ love it. Those Dutch Boy shows from that era were so entertaining.

[@calebr6840]

I can't find that show or even that corps name. Can you help me out?

Loved seeing Dutch Boy in this.

Wow, this feels like an eternity ago. Someone posted this on my facebook page, just wanted to say thank you, and I'm honored to be part of this list. Steve Dakin

[@goldsmith1210]

Thanks for watching Steve. 89 Dutch Boy was a great show. I still enjoy listening to it.

[@officialnoslenj]

Stephen Dakin Steve, they both were good.

[@jasonlogue]

Me 2! I just saw this for the first time. Funny, I grew up listening to all of these players...and then there we are....wtf!

[@jackfrowland]

Hey, thanks for putting that together. You put me in some pretty great company! We were on tour with Madison and Spirit all summer in 1983, and I always enjoyed hearing Hunter and Shaun play. Long Live Suncoast!

[@shawkmusic]

The feeling is mutual Jack. Suncoast had a great hornline, and you guys were the icing on the cake!

[@kevinhateswriting]

Man those G horns just sound so great.

[@owenraun1278]

Hey. I’m in this. Hi Ira - I always thought your hair was a choice. Anyway - Trivia. Who was the first sop to take his hat off in a solo? Fred Bell? Metzger maybe?

[@billhigginsjr]

1983 Sky Ryders First Soloist with Sunglasses Paul (P.J). Hunter and to his right Tim Wells

[@doncarlson4710]

I remember the bald guy from Madison. People in the stands were like No Way he's under 21. Lol. Great soloist

[@kevinhateswriting]

What year is that?

[@officialnoslenj]

[@eddiescott3523]

I would love to get a Saprano horn. I loved playing it

[@awesomeboxlord]

les stentores is getting rid of their horns if you're interested, im gonna see if i can get a king k20 from them

89 VK underated show esp drumline line beginning of.... Roger Carter’s drumline career

[@freddiesandoval5162]

Also great to see my buddy Roger DeLosa on here Soloist for Freelacers 88' and 89'... I will alway Remember him fondly and some day we will see him again. R.I.P. buddy!

[@OcculiMortis]

Very cool.

[@victorstravincski865]

The Soloist for Suncoast Sound 1983, is not John Keegan, it's John Aguano. I marched with Him that Year, also from School in fort Lauderdale.

[@victorstravincski865]

HE's the taller o the two. A 15/16 year old at that time.

[@VaughnDJs]

Guardsmen tenor line was rockin behind the soloist 0:10

[@jonshannon7096]

Sone god choices here Ben but you obviously had an oversight on serval viable Crossmen soloist from that era.

[@domokornmusic]

Do you know where i can find the sky raiders 83 clip. My school band played pretty much that arrangement, down to the same solo.

[@goldsmith1210]

Dominic O'Korn not sure. I got that clip off of my Legacy DVD.

[@domokornmusic]

Alright. Always love your channel. My school is pretty old school corps style, carried mallets, mylar drum heads, standstill numbers. Wish our playing was as good though... :$

[@goldsmith1210]

Dominic O'Korn thanks!!

[@livewithcedric8336]

Man I love this video... Did anyone notice that guy in Madison was already bald... This is back when age out was 21. Poor guy... But Great chops hmmmm.

[@UrbanReviews]

His name is Ira Arenson. Funny enough, he marched in the 1st clip with Guardsmen and then soloed with Madison. I was fortune enough to have him as a mentor for my solo the follow year. He has a disease (can't recall it right now) which made him bald. Excellent player and man!

[@awesomeboxlord]

Isnt it still 21 to age out?

[@samsignorelli]

@@awesomeboxlord 22 now, so long as your 22nd birthday falls on or after the day of the first competition.

[@JamieSmith-fz2mz]

Why is he a poor guy? Bald is beautiful, baby. It’s not a curse.

[@spinster21]

How old is the guy from Madison? Not many 21 year olds look like Terry Bradshaw

[@iraarenson6829]

spinster21 - regardless of how old I looked, I assure you that I was 21. As a matter of fact, I had just turned 21 in late July so I was only two weeks away from having another year to march. I've never heard the comparison to Terry Bradshaw before but looking at the video, I suppose it is fair.

[@UrbanReviews]

@@iraarenson6829 I just mentioned on another thread above that you're in two clips (just not solo) ;-) Ah those arpeggio octaves at rehearsals at the train station! I can't recall which clip @spinster21 was in... ;-)

[@samsignorelli]

@@iraarenson6829 When I auditioned for BD for the 84 season, I was standing in the sop line next to a guy who thought was you...and when I found he was playing 4TH SOP, I thought I had not a chance in HELL of making the line!

[@bem5392]

What show was the first duet from.(the one before the list began)

[@goldsmith1210]

Lem Lucero 1982 Blue Devils

[@bem5392]

goldsmith1210 thank you

[@freddiesandoval5162]

VK 89' is Tony Macias and Freddie Sandoval....

[@goldsmith1210]

Thanks Freddie!! Nice work btw, Check out this video for a clip of Mike Collins: Ben's Top 10 Favorite Soprano Solos

Freddie Sandoval wow, I marched with Tony in ‘87 - I thought he aged out that year....😃

Does anybody know which corps is soloing at 5:15?

[@goldsmith1210]

The Sacramento Freelancers

[@faredunferrari]

@@goldsmith1210 God bless

[@faredunferrari]

@@goldsmith1210 Do you know which year this is? trying to find the whole show

[@samsignorelli]

@@faredunferrari It's Kansas City...and all the clips are of finals, so that makes it 88 or 89....the music is from Star Wars (Yoda's theme, I think), so that makes it prelims in 88, since the 89 music was from E.T. and Empire of the Sun.

[@faredunferrari]

@@samsignorelli Thanks... I looked all over the place, but still couldn't find the whole show...

[@brianbond8462]

All great memories. Would have been great to see representatives from the 1983 Geneseo Knights, or even Daniel (Dan) Moore from 1985 GK "Jesus Christ Superstar" show.

[@danielcrawford4134]

That 85 Knights show was really good. Did they also play the "Music and the Mirror" piece a year earlier?

[@roberthuffman2620]

This is when Drum Corps were ACTUALLY DRUM CORPS and not some broadway-ballet-dancing-fruit-affair.

It appears you failed to read the title of this video.

[@daddyosink4413]

She played Alto....

[@daddyosink4413]

Micah Lall-Trail mellos are often called alto because that is the voicing of the horn.... yes, Mahoney played mello/alto.

[@billduncan8788]

ahh,no mellos are not called altos. They are called mellophones because that's what they are. There are alto horns which are similar in design but with a smaller bell and they are called altos.

[@billduncan8788]

yes she did play a mellophone.
