Drum and Bugle - Phantom of the Opera (santaclara vanguard)

Santaclara vanguard

[@jaredlange877]

I would pay real money and the souls of my family to have seen this show live.

[@rudymaldonado667]

That pop from the crowd as SCV makes their final push toward the crowd is goosebumps. LOVE IT

[@timber72]

It was breathtaking, even at the beginning of the season.

[@kwaggoner2494]

Classiest and probably the most influential on the average HS band kid show in all of DCI history.

[@tubamanhenry]

I will fight anyone who disagrees that this is probably the best show of DCI history. It changed the show style of drum corps forever

[@rw4749]

Do want to a grown man cry at such beauty. I am 64 years of age and have been a fan of DCI since I was a teenager. I was privileged to see this show live.

[@keYserSOze2008]

Nah, cadets off Bergen county, Les mis is the best and i'll fight anyone on that.

[@AntecorSound]

2000 cavaliers is probably my favorite, but god this show is one of the best

[@aisdtastdatsbd]

What about 1988?

[@ursamajor4684]

9:46 has gotta be one of the prettiest sounds any drum corps has ever made

[@arleydelaroche5430]

That company front at the end... it gets me every fucking time. Chills throughout my entire body. Such beautiful synchronization amongst the entire corps.

[@katyornok63]

Right there with you on that!

[@rw4749]

Yes! Chills! Tears! In my 40 plus years of loving dci. This is the best show ever!!!💞😁

[@jaygonzalez9280]

👍🏼 yup😅 I tear up every time

[@sarahkirner9603]

This show is what lit the fire in me for marching band. My band actually played a phantom showed my sophomore year and it was VERY heavily influenced by SCV's one. Bro. I am 32 and still get chills at this.

[@rubylu4871]

My mom ran this! She’s the phantom!

[@jaygonzalez9280]

DCI royalty

[@tambourvideo]

34 years later, still a landmark show for me. Exquisite,.powerful, enotional.

[@jesuswasacarpenter]

Still the most beautiful show I’ve ever heard

[@rw4749]

Yes!

[@lamestudiosinc418]

Gutted by the news about the 2023 season. I really hope they can pull through, Vanguard would be one hell of a loss for the Drum Corps community.

[@Mrtellitlikeitis]

U mean the band community. Let them rest like the rest of the activity

[@TheMountainMan-wz8xf]

​@@Mrtellitlikeitis As a rather evil doctor once said, "How 'bout NO."

[@Mrtellitlikeitis]

Its not drum corps, but an abomination of sometimg that once was

[@alannaje]

Thank you so much for posting this. It warms my nostalgic ass heart. Trying to indoctrinate my kid into loving marching band as much as I did.

[@Mrtellitlikeitis]

Dude. This isn’t marching band. Christ

[@scottdavio3716]

What a show indeed! Still gives me chills. I have to expand on this, it’s brought back so many memories of those days of DC tours and the blood sweat and tears that go into it. I remember watching this show in Ogdensburg, NY in 89. We had already seen 88s edition from DCI championships of that year so we knew a lot of the arrangements just because of how closely we watched this performance. By the end of this performance, my friend and I were literally in tears as it was so profoundly breathtaking to watch. There’s just something about ALWs compositions that make them so memorable. The melodies are engraved into my memory for life!

[@hosoda7ss]

当時、もの凄く感動したのを思い出しました。確かSCVは2年連続でオペラ座の怪人の怪人だったかと SCVのプライド見たなーと思っていましたm(_ _)m

[@12milestyle]

Wishing SCV was somehow here again

[@garylagstrom3864]

My favorite SCV show ever!!!

[@stephonjames1038]

My dad turned me onto this. Between this and Madison Scouts 1988 Malaguena! Wow. Wish I could travel back in time. Personally not down with all the electronics and vocals.

[@jackdill8731]

The ending always gets me, remember watching this show in my “hell week” for marching band.

[@natek9956]

They needa bring this show back sometime soon

[@edmundeberhart5503]

35 years later and I still don't know how they made that guy disappear at the end. 🤔🤷🏻‍♂️😂

[@spartanbacon3588]

Saw this live when I was five, I still love it

[@adrianarguello156]

I used to go to see them competing at Spartan stadium with my Godfather great memories 😢

[@wm8673]

Still my favorite... to this day!

[@williamsanborn9195]

0:22 Goosebumps every time! 🤤

[@noahloum0015]

You wonderful human being who posted this I love you

[@echo2121]

watching this after hearing the news that scv isn't fielding for 2023 :(((

[@derekgross3571]

Same reason I’m watching. This is more shocking than the entire season cancellation of 2020. Hopefully 2024 brings back an even stronger Vanguard.

[@echo2121]

@@derekgross3571 ive talked to some vets who are more familiar with the situation, they really don't think vanguard's coming back, and even if they are, they don't think they'll be based out of santa clara anymore

[@arlentraster382]

Great show hands down!!!

[@rw4749]

Yes!

[@katyornok63]

My 3 favorite SCV shows 1978, 81, and 89. And '82 the best hornline.

[@Kevsmopar429]

@katyornok63 82' was awsome, Contra here from Anaheim Kingsmen. 58 now and still have many visions of that long tour from Cerritos Falcon Stadium toward Montreal.

[@waylanwickstrom194]

never forget this. the best Ive ever seen

[@robloxmaster4545]

i wish somebody made a transcription of this show

[@scvanguard1]

*Corps

[@jusayawn]

it is not marching band it is called drum corps

[@williamsanborn9195]

This show is nearly 40 years old and I still wanna know how they did the magic trick at 11:22

[@jbrinkler]

It’s not a band… it’s a drum corps

[@anthonykaiser974]

Which is a specific type of marching band for you pedantic types.

[@rjminar1980]

Listen! Those are Contra Basses! No need for amplification…

[@loonylaura85]

Which year is this from?

[@kahwws5190]

1989

[@loonylaura85]

@@kahwws5190 Thank you. 👍

[@anthonykaiser974]

That's what I was thinking. I saw the 88 show at "Drums o/t Ohio." Something just seemed different.

[@elibeeli14]

Imo, this is way better from a musical and visual stand point than it's 1988 predecessor.

[@WilliamHeard39]

This is not a Band!!!! Please don't mistake them for a Band...A Band has Woodwinds...

[@rjminar1980]

That title really upset me...

[@tubamanhenry]

this is drum corps

[@Mrtellitlikeitis]

Its band now. Thats why DCI ceased to exist when they brought in amplification and trombones. Call it band corps. In fact, call it quits. Long over due

[@Taz_Woofer]

@@Mrtellitlikeitisyeah no this comment made no sense lol

[@anthonykaiser974]

Go tell that to Webster's. It's a specific type of marching band.

[@rjminar1980]

Calling a Drum and Bugle Corps a band is a big no-no. At least is was in this era.

[@anthonykaiser974]

Webster's would beg to differ.

[@rjminar1980]

⁠@@anthonykaiser974Webter’s is wrong.

[@Mrtellitlikeitis]

They got jobbed in 1988. This 1989 version was payback for a piss poor decision. Madison’s 1988 iconic 7 plus minute Malagueña was not the show SCV or Devils had Nothing Madison did brought emotion other than the loud ending. SCV show had me in tears

[@patrickpaluga3724]

These are not Drum Corps, they are bands, they cannot compare with Riley Raiders, Yankee Rebels, Scout house The Princemen, The Hurricanes, Gay Blades, Connecticut Yankees, Skyliners The Sunrisers and the list goes on. They didn't need Vibes, Trombones, Guitars and extensive systems and all the other crap. The only true Drum and Bugle Corps that still exist is The Marine Drum and Bugle Corps from 8th & I Barracks.

[@cowpoly1564]

Please don’t call drum corps “band”

[@Mrtellitlikeitis]

It is Band now, actually even worse than that. Bury it. Its dead

[@MicahtheDrumCorpsPseudoboomer]

@@MrtellitlikeitisNope, it never was drum corps in the first place.

[@goldcrayon21]

Where are the silly poses and massive props? No scatter drill? And the hats are getting in the way of the performer's faces. I'm not seeing a whole lot of emoting from the performers. A truely sad show only for dinosaurs!
