Choice Madison Scouts Moments

[@Wahl95]

There are two types of people in this world: people who love the Madison Scouts, and people who don't know about DCI at all.

[@BarracksSi]

God, I miss this kind of aggression in music.

[@dctrbrass]

me too

[@AyoAston]

1995 .. WOW!!! The Scouts program that year was like a powerful force to be recon with and the way they brought the crowd to there feet, cheering for them,way before they can totally end there show, man.. I can imagine the emotion these guys must of felt while performing to look up and see the crowd all on there feet for them. I don't care what anyone says, The Scouts should've been champions in 1995. Even in 2014, nearly two decades later, I still get chills watching there '95 program. I only wish I could've been a part of the Scouts in 1995

[@TheBandMan]

I marched Phantom that year and got to see Madison warming up or coming out of the stadium after preforming (as we were on the way in, they were a few places behind us) always thought the HUGE drumline they marched in 95-96 was sick. I respect all the different styles in DCI, which is fading a bit as they try to diversify programming.

[@brown55061]

Can't argue with this video. The 90s Madison Scouts are why I got into DCI. Especially 95 and 96. I know they were a tad sloppy but still the writing and performers were champs in my mind. They gave me a reason to get out of my seat, regardless of scores. BTW I love the fact that despite DCI's nonsense about blocking out copyright tunes you dubbed it in lol. I will not buy anymore DVDs from them because of that.

[@polikwaptiwache397]

brown55061: Don't blame you for that... I totally agree with you 100%

[@UrbanReviews]

Clearly... you missed the 80's! BYBO!! #WallOfBrass

[@brown55061]

@@UrbanReviews Well in fairness, a lot of 90s shows were repeats of 80s. Remembrance, Malaga, Malaguena etc. They were good in the 80s but nothing like the design in the 90s.

[@UrbanReviews]

@@brown55061 Depends if you're into design vs horn impact. NOTHING, and I mean NOTHING, hit you in the chest like the Scouts G bugles! Shaun and Ira in Strawberry Soup. I guess I'm impartial cause they're friends! LOL

[@brown55061]

@@UrbanReviews I agree, but remember the G-horns were still around until ~2001 for the Scouts. DCI was right to change but I do wish I could hear an old hornline again with the old bugles. Listening to Mike's sop solos in 96 you can hear the difference in the projection.

[@oldschooldrumcorps]

Big Fan of Madison since I saw them my first season in drum corps in 1974. They were the loudest,most powerful drum corps I had seen up close, It was a thrill watching them win DCI championship in '75. Wow, this year will be 40 years of watching this Corps......and they still crowd please.....Wish them 40 years more!

[@Ramies122]

Incredible. Thanks for posting. Brings back so many memories. MYNWA.

[@kimjasso9953]

I never say the word "awesome", but they truly are awesome!

[@tyronesj06]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING THIS!!!!!!!! GET IT MADISON 08!!! MYNWA

[@alexbraud6358]

96- Dat quad line, doe. I'm actually auditioning for the Scouts next weekend. SUCH A HYPE!!!!!

[@jacksonweinberg3544]

Make it?

[@starstarstar42]

'88 Malguena isn't in here because then they'd have to rename the video to "Best DCI moments of all time, the majority of them being Scouts".

[@polikwaptiwache397]

THE SCOUTS.... Simply the best!

[@milepost156]

Nice Job! This corp. is always close to my heart. I can tell you are a fan of the company front! Thanks, I saved it to my play list.

[@MichaelFluhrIsSnakDaddy]

'97 Scouts ending might be the greatest moment in drum corps history. I toured three summer with top world class corps and was actually there near the gate (with another corps) when '97 scouts were on. Never seen anything like it.

[@danneharvey2600]

That whole 98’ show is a choice moment

[@cosmodrum1]

I wish I could explain what is was like to march in 95 and see the scouts and those shows. Really was a special year for DCI. Anyone wonder where Crown came from? Check their Stormworks show in 95.

[@mileswilliams359]

cosmodrum1 madison 1995 will always be in my top 5 favorite shows

[@dctrbrass]

1995-97 scouts brass, or crown brass of this decade? both amazing/powerful, and seemed to dominated their times (brass-wise). I haven't seen crown live yet, so I dunno. any opinions out there from someone who's heard both live?

[@TheBandMan]

IMHO Crown has the kind of sound that Phantom USED to have a monopoly on. Clean/ Loud/ Perfection. Loud but not raw. Madison had the loud/ raw sound. Both good but different aesthetics.

[@SDW2001]

A "Best Of" for Scouts without 88 Malaguena. OK then.

[@OMRebelJosh]

I mean i can see that for some of the 2000's but 05 is one of my favorite scouts show and the new staff has been doing a killer job the past 3 years!

[@thesunettes]

Great picks! I love the finale!

[@CommandoKev3]

Play those trumpets!!! Wow that was incredible!!

[@HE360]

This is a great video!

[@ShootAndSpin]

A lot of people say that Bb horns are "better" than the G bugles because they're able to be played with more refinement. I personally say, "Yeah.....that's exactly what fans sitting in a football stadium want when they're sitting 40 yards away from a corps. Refinement. Who needs volume and power when you can have refinement?" (Of course, I'm being sarcastic.) If I wanted refinement I'd go see an orchestra play. You don't see fans jump up out of their seats any more the way they used to because shows just don't have the oomph and powerful sound that they used to. I miss that sound.

[@S0RGEx]

I disagree.

[@mileswilliams359]

ShootAndSpin the crowd cheering for bluecoats 2014 was insane

[@wesleydecasere9832]

miles williams They weren't exactly playing their horns

[@mileswilliams359]

The hype was still there

[@wesleydecasere9832]

miles williams And rightfully so, but not from sheer volume

[@jacobhardy25]

shoulda added 2011 too ;) one of the best shows madison has ever done! excited to march with scouts this year

[@AustinGuo550]

I love 8:57-10:00 so awesome! It's inspiring!

[@MrAnarchy26]

As soon as their uniforms changed they went down hill, the 90's was where it was at for the scouts. Used to be my favorite.

[@DameDollar]

1996 was my favorite!!!!

[@dylancjames]

i wander if there was a way to see the picture the drum major took at 3:40

[@jameslantz8041]

Dylan James www.oocities.org/vienna/opera/1276/scouts97.html

[@cosmodrum1]

LOL at T.R...."We're gonna have some fun." Love that dude.

[@procircuit844]

Thanks for the 2008 love Josh! MYNWA

[@homfencing]

It says for the last 20 years in the description...88 was more than 2 decades back.

[@MrJofferson]

Thanks man.

[@MrJofferson]

Can somebody please tell me what song that was at 4:30?!?!

[@brown55061]

C'mon brother, you missed the intros to both 10-11, which were the best of those shows. Loved how you blotted out "NOT" available lol. The way I see it, if they can't let us hear the audio on a recording, why are they allowed to play it live? It's no different, DCI gets sales from both. I refuse to buy their DVDs for that reason.

[@linkjoshua12]

They are in chronological order; go to the end for some 2011 love.

[@AsianGreenMario]

How did you get the 2011 closer?? It it the semi-finals??

[@delanebe]

lol Terry and her hair working the shizzzz outta it!

[@nwmusic2010]

RIP Madison Scouts 🙁

[@Robbaybay]

There's going to be a movie made about the Madison Scouts! It's called "Scouts Honor: Inside a Marching Brotherhood" and we are currently running a campaign on IndieGoGo. Please help us by contributing and spreading the word! Unfortunately, youtube won't allow for links to be posted, but Google is your friend

[@oldschooldrumcorps]

One thing I haven't figured out over the years about Madison Scouts is why all the "New York" themed shows? Not that I mind, being from NYC, just wondered.....

[@byronturner7790]

The Artistic Design Director/Coordinator for the corps from 2010-2014 was from New York City. I have no clue as to any shows outside of that realm.

[@jacksonweinberg3544]

I think it was bc of the progression of jazz in new york and it fit their style

[@knightflyte]

How could you not include the opening of 1996's Malaga - Pure strength wielded by grace.

[@RTonyR59]

It didn't come out--- just a big blur!

[@brothaNblue]

is it me or do most of the guys in the older vids look waaaaayyy older than 21.

[@cru4you]

so many fuckin goosebumps... MYNWA

[@homfencing]

@dylancjames There's someone on Drum Corps Planet who has the 2 pics in his signature block....damned if I can remember his screen name, tho.

[@jameslantz8041]

homfencing They are on this blog - www.oocities.org/vienna/opera/1276/scouts97.html

[@CruscaderScout]

Love it

[@brianjungen4059]

And now they’re gone. 😢💔

[@Mark-sj3xb]

Yes, gone as we know them. Pink sissy costumes. No identity anymore. Bland, vanilla pageantry arts DCI theatre

[@brianjungen4059]

Last year I tried to understand and almost understood, but this year’s show was just garbage. And then they put those silly glow stick hearts on.....Madison is dead to me. 🤮😡

[@MuseIsBeest]

Audio for "Empire State of Mind" is --- available due to music licensing considerations. lol

[@keemez]

Hahaha! Nail on the head, mister (misses?)!!!

[@polikwaptiwache397]

Awesome video of The Scouts finest moments!! Thank you for uploading!! Please feel free to check out my drum corps playlists.. Once you have drum corps in your blood it stays there forever!!

[@keyowilson5695]

No Madison 2001? Like the ending?

[@jared0111]

+Keyo Wilson that ending was crazy, that's actually what i'm here looking for....

[@linkjoshua12]

+Keyo Wilson From the description: "if I didn't include a year, it's probably because I don't have it! Specific years I didn't have the ability or time to include but would have: 89, 94, 01, 06, 07, 09." Also for what it's worth, this video is from 2011, when my videos could only be 10 minutes long. if I uploaded an updated version of this video, I'd just play as many complete Scouts shows back-to-back as I could ;)

[@TomPetrahai]

I have a semifinals recording of the Scouts from this year. It isn't bad & Empire State of Mind is complete, if you want it I'll see if I can get it to you

[@LOWRYmynwa2010]

CHOICE 👌

[@Mad5cout]

It was the purple coolaid.

[@SamZinski]

That drill move at 0:30, corpsgasm.

[@rjwilloughby1213]

2nd best - I got to see Daniel Veerhuesen(?) do that in 1980- Check out "Ice Castles"

[@Pez5688]

Dang! No '04???

[@chachi311]

check out the '92 drum solo...well worth inclusion

[@glennfjenkins2702]

Will DCI ever get back to the basic of the music we heard in the 90s we didn't have amplifiers that drowned out the sound of the horn's

[@brianjungen4059]

Glenn F Jenkins sadly no.

[@Mark-sj3xb]

No. It’s gone forever

[@ralphgeigner3011]

2018, sad that these past few years, Scouts have been having a hard time making the top 12 ! As well as the Troopers. Kenosha Kingsmen & Mariners. GO ARMY NRA USA

[@TheBandMan]

Phantom may drop off finals soon if they don't turn it around... meanwhile there's BAC, mandarins and others that used to be bottom of the pack and are moving up...

[@cosmodrum1]

I was in that crowd. I had my jizz-covered shorts put under glass and mounted above my fireplace.

[@michaell.8938]

Electronics, PA systems and huge props on the field need to go. This is how you do Drum Corps.

[@deltadak]

YES. MYNWA

[@alexm-em9he]

Wheres 1989

[@cladiax1]

90's scouts >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 90's cadets

[@wesleydecasere9832]

Cladiax Both were masters in their own domain 👌🎵🎶

[@blueshort1011]

Watch the whole video, bro.

[@linkjoshua12]

Edvard Grieg's "In the Hall of the Mountain King," jazzed up. see xrIYT-MrVaI

[@_ah.em_]

No corps screams like Madison.

[@Troumbadour]

Dem company fronts.

[@Bob-507]

effing gay pirates of Mendota...what have the scouts become?

[@keemez]

best revisit your soliloquy with what's happened in the last 4 years.
