Best marching year of my life

[@RickDawg527]

Had Nathan Eby (center snare) and Lahren Whint (?. Im sure i didnt spell his name right) as drum instructors my sophomore year of HS in 1998. I remember i told them i wanted to do BD someday. They made me a VHS tape of HOURS of parking lot footage.....like....the REAL DEAL! It was probably over 4hrs long. From 1995-1998. Parking lots. Finals. Rehearsals. Dude....it was amazing. Id get home from school and watch it and drum along to it practically everyday. My brother took it though and i never got it back......so mad about that

[@DrumlineArchives]

That's awesome! I would LOVE to get my hands on that tape!

[@RickDawg527]

@@DrumlineArchives me too.....😔😔😔

[@RickDawg527]

@@DrumlineArchives it was cool cause some of the footage on the tape was part of those "Inside The Blue Devils" yearly documentaries they'd make.....only where it would end on the documentary with the parking lot footage, my tape had the WHOLE lot video of those years. Was pretty dope

[@chrisgaray87]

That spree is legendary!

[@DrumlineAV]

Damn. Missed the craziest Part of the quad book at the end of Night in Tunisia. Still a killer video!!!

[@morgannowlen8375]

watching 'em on the field at that point with all the weaving & sticks above head moeller sweeps was intense. Like watching the Blue Angels maneuver around each other.

[@DrumlineAV]

God this video looks sooooo good! Also, this line was nuts!

[@DennisJohnsonDrummer]

Crispy and crunchy! Thanks for sharing!

[@iambiglucas]

That bassline is *really* good.

[@morgannowlen8375]

I like the snare tuning/drums back then. They screamed.

Happy birthday

[@morgannowlen8375]

Some think this is one of the best lines ever

[@82powpow]

Truth be told

I'm a big fan of 7 man snare lines.

[@chutdigadut]

Mid to late 90's BD lines are my favorite BD lines of all time. So much phrasing and dynamic contrast! I miss when they used to play with this much musical intensity

[@1010-d7b]

GOAT Line

[@tlkshowhst]

That quad line. Damn

Watch out for them heights!!!!

[@lmaoitsmee1812]

Do you have any videos of Cadets 1995? I've been trying to look for better vid than the ones on YT and this series just sparked ^ thought in my mind again.

[@BlueBass2]

my god, we’ve gotten soft since ‘97

[@ARZiehm]

You can say that again

[@rifle2563]

Ironic it was this generation that is teaching us now

These are men playing. Nothing but little boys with Starbucks lattes and feelings these days

[@michaeledwards1664]

@@82powpow Give it up. We were still kids and always gulping coffee and crying in our rooms after screwing up one measure. This sound is the result of peak levels of anxiety, perfectionism and "feelings."

[@SergioNavaa]

This line sounds a lot similar to the 2016 and 2019 BD line

[@PBL19999]

No.

[@etucker434]

Ah, the 90’s, flams, flams, oh and floppy’s. 😂

Only 7 snares?

[@RickDawg527]

1996 also

[@Paiste2002Fan]

7 snares was common in the mid to late 90s.

[@12valkyer]

Thats wild. Haha. I always assumed it was 8 9 or 10 for the "bigger" corps.

[@Paiste2002Fan]

@@12valkyer 7-9 was the most common in that era. But you’d occasionally see 6 snares. I don’t recall seeing 10 snares again till Cadets 2000 and Cavies 2002.

[@12valkyer]

@@Paiste2002Fan thats wild. 10 is just too much. Last time i think i saw 10 was bluecoats 2011 and i thought it was overkill. Haha
