Unpopular opinion, but this is one of my favorite shows from this year.

[@zackg3]

Agreed 100%

[@Greenday4-121]

RJ Emerson yep same. Love the show

[@chasemanhart]

Watching this live at finals, I got an incredible sense of commitment to the show from every single individual. To be honest they all looked like they wanted to kill the audience, it was glorious! Not something I got out of a lot of the Cors that beat them!

[@tylerwood9678]

One of my favorite shows from this year. I can’t get over how cool the uniforms are

[@carsonstephens2508]

The Scouts came to my school this year and it was amazing being able to watch them rehearse

[@Hunter-Drums]

Where's the Tinglan cam. I am mad

[@yoopergirl735]

I loved it! wish I could have seen them in person. thanks for sharing this.

[@madelynvulk6548]

When I first heard they would be playing Prague, I was really skeptical, but this arrangement turned out really well

[@robertg0105]

The timpanist is currently our indoor drumline Frontline instructor. That's absolutely bonkers

[@diegoluna4186]

On of the trumpet players is our assistant band director and brass director

[@zachtinglan9058]

I think that's Nic Rundell in the center

[@nsmith996]

Saw them in Hattiesburg. I was so looking forward to the scouts. I love their snare music. But the drums were cranked so damn high I could barely hear them.playing like this deserves a strong bodied sound, not a sticks against concrete sound. Love the playing. Just wish I could've heard it from the stands...

[@malditobandito98]

taydolf swiftler Cranked high? No. Scouts are known for having super wet snares.

[@atlassolid5946]

I'm very late, but is this an arrangement of The Miraculous Mandarin by Bartok?

[@breadman1235]

Wow that rack player looks like an American Eagle model

[@PARABLLM]

Just watched brassline wake up the corps and they're playing this cool

[@DerekInTheFront]

Why don't you list the mallets used? I'd like to know

[@nyoung5556]

Maybe I’m too old. I don’t get it. I grew up during the Madison Scouts mania of the early 90s. These kids are just as talented, but what are they playing??

[@JoelZapata1]

dissonance

[@teeg-irl]

Wish I could see more of the end quad. He's a champion.

[@ATAT-zo7wx]

Aye Eric Sorenson my guy

[@Laughingdawg13]

Why are they all like bald😂

[@RosemontCobra]

Jacob Bush We shaved our heads as part of the uniform

[@Laughingdawg13]

Mitchell Kiriazes that's really cool

[@andrewprawat8199]

That's dedication

[@douglindsey9341]

88 scout quad player here. Not my favorite I’ve seen but certainly demanding on the players. (Sorry performers now). Now doubt there is dedication and talent to the upmost degree. That said myself as an old audience member now, think the show is too “busy”. I don’t know but having players roll around on the ground seems disrespectful to the talent of the player (dang it sorry performer). What’s with the drum line tuning or should I say dry line? Snares sound like sticks on concrete quads, quints whatever they are now sounds like wood blocks and basses sound higher the quads I played. No joke. Perhaps my hearing aids are messed Up. What’s with the over “orgasmic” acting of the pit players especially on the xylophones. Well maybe that is what it takes to get first place at DCI we will see.

[@MiraDaWulf]

Is this satire

[@scootiebong]

it's called the times have changed, drum corps is more theatrical these days. while im not a fan of the tuning either, it's not horrible. the front ensemble's so-called "orgasmic" acting is what makes the show even more immersive. you wouldn't go to watch a musical if they just stood there and started singing with a stone cold expression, would you? it's the same concept, it's a much more immersive experience and the times have changed. they use different materials for heads as well, snares don't use mylar anymore but instead kevlar, which has less of a ringing sound and is more articulate. a lot of things have changed in dci over the years, id say for the best. shows these days can tell a story like velvet knights did back in the day with all of the theatrics, it's amazing and we're blessed to have the talent and ability to perform from these people who are contracted to today's corps.
