Future Corps 1989 Malaguena

[@joelleson3313]

You notice people walking by without stopping to listen to this remarkable bunch of musicians? A free act like that, without stopping? Ya have to be nuts to pass that up. Way to guys, you're beyond the future!

[@craigjohnchronicles2504]

I would have sat there as long as they were playing...

[@ilikechicken5524]

It's expensive to go, and some people want to do other stuff. I don't blame them at all.

[@barackdrinksWD40]

Way to guys, go!

[@rickydavis8183]

Hey Disney.....BRING THEM BACK!!!!

[@grandpadavid45]

Yes! Bring back Future Corps! That would be awesome!

[@themdg]

Disney doesn't know their demographic anymore...

[@jimmtairymd]

bring back future Corp.

[@themdg]

Where do I donate?

[@stale56]

Thank god somebody had the intelligence to video tape this

[@PPam7]

Everything about this is perfect. There was nothing like seeing Future Corps live. I miss it so much!

[@hrbekroenick]

I wish I had eleventy hands so they could each give this video a thumbs up. Heard them on the CD as a freshman in HS, and was fortunate enough to see them live around this time. Still gives me the chills EVERY time. DIsney screwed the pooch getting rid of them.

[@keemez]

And in getting away from the G bugles. And in letting Hoppie say more than 10 words at any given meeting.

[@TimKGrimes]

You’re right. Disney lost their mind

[@kevinkelley3657]

I heard them live in Epcot back in 1988 or 1989, not sure of the year. Our highschool band was on at trip to Disney, Epcot, and Sea World. A friend of mine were wondering around Epcot with no real plan, when suddenly we heard them WAILING from several blocks away. We jogged towards the performance locarion, and we heard the very end of Malaguena..........it was impressive.

[@cowpoly1564]

I bet you heard the same bootleg I did that was going around in the early 90s. I love that recording

[@matthewshull8376]

These performances were always the best part of my trips to Epcot, I miss these guys!!!! Thanks for sharing all these great videos for all to see!!

[@chimmy___]

Same version we played when I was in Blue Devils B in 1982! 🥁🎺😎

[@themdg]

Such a great track! You don't have a video of your BDB from 82, do you?!

[@chimmy___]

@@themdg No, I contacted the BD hall about a year ago to see if I could buy a video but they said that they didn't have any. The person I talked to was quite rude. Probably wasn't a real BD.

[@themdg]

@@chimmy___ boo. What a bummer. Thanks for trying! So cool to have members chime in!

[@BLZNTRZ]

Incredible!! Childhood memories right there

[@who8mahbacon]

i swear these uniforms make them look like Vegeta.

[@MarkTomczak]

These uniforms were contemporary with Vegeta first being illustrated. I don't know there was any cross-pollination between the two ideas (more likely both ideas are drawing from some third source out in the late '80s zeitgeist ;) ).

[@nannyg666]

Chops of steel.

[@williamhardman4096]

I used to go to Epcot once or twice a year to see these guys, and I caught all of their performances each day!

[@themdg]

Bless you, Future Corps. Bless you, cameraman.

[@macetenchu]

I got to hear them regularly as I worked at Disneyland in tomorrow land where they performed.

[@kmabru]

That was Magic Kingdom Korps. Same concept, but a different group from Future Corps.

[@phantommp5]

How in the heck can people just walk by this performance??? Those people must be dead inside! I’d love to see what Corps each of these guys played with. Back when a Corps was a Drum & Bugle Corps and played Bugles! AMAZING!

[@TheRandomWolf]

1:04 contra pedal

[@alanday5255]

This an Off the Line are my 2 favorite Corps songs.

[@TimKGrimes]

Bravo!!! Bravo!!!! Bravo!!!!!

[@scottmackie2821]

An interesting blend of a mostly Madison arrangement with Cadet flavor toward the end. Concerto de Aranguez as the "opener" really sets the mood. Madison owns this tune. A shame the powers that be don't see the value of this kind of entertainment.

[@anthonykaiser974]

The arrangement Scouts used in 88 was based very closely on one done by Bill Holman for Stan Kenton.

[@jpzehner]

mashing the like button

[@trumpetcats9309]

Never gets old! Great performance!

[@brigjuicebrass9203]

Just an FYI, this arrangement is almost Note for Note the Bill Holman arrangement that was made famous by the Stan Kenton Big Band. Other than the very beginning and the very end, the rest is all Bill's.

[@SoaringTrumpet]

These guys don't give a shit, it's just music sports to them.

[@KingGuysBands1]

@@SoaringTrumpet Wow! You have some incredible insight into how the minds of fourteen guys you've never met work. The knowledge you gained from watching a three minute video is amazing. As one of the guys on this recording I can tell you that almost all of us majored in music. Many of had lifetime careers as professional musicians or music educators. I would think that by listening to this you would appreciate how many years we all spent in practice rooms. Not sure what "music sports" is but I'm kinda proud of the level of playing the group achieved. This was a gig. A very good gig that we worked our asses off to be good at. I spent eighteen years at WDW performing with several groups and my last seven was a leader of another really good band, The Hollywood Hitmen. As a sixteen year old high school kid I got to spend a weekend at a jazz festival featuring the Kenton band that included master classes with the bandmembers, a clinic by Mr. Kenton himself, and one of the most amazing concerts I've ever attended. Hopefully, by now you can see that we did and still do "give a shit" about ALL music and take great pride in our musicianship. But if it makes you feel good to denigrate something you know absolutely nothing about, cool.

[@citizengar]

This is great stuff. Thanks for uploading it.

[@wm8673]

THE GOOSE BUMPS THO

[@gonzo561]

@CHSmarchingcougar we as a society can no longer handle this level of awesomeness.

[@jared0111]

that ending! yesssss

[@jgodinski207]

Awesome!

[@peierple]

although I like what they have now at Disney, this was 1000000000000000 and 1 way better than what they have now!

[@oldschooldrumcorps]

It's strange to see Epcot without the huge geodesic dome on top

[@kmabru]

??? Spaceship Earth? It's there, but not visible (behind and to the left). This was performed facing into the tunnel at Communicore/Innoventions East. I miss Horizons (in the background). I can't ride Mission Space.

[@DD-tz1cz]

People that can just walk by, without paying any attention are musically dead!

[@jaydee-222]

I have to assume this was one of the inspirations for Blast!

[@sharoncastigliego3637]

Except Future Corps is 1,000 times better than BLAST! ever was. I saw BLAST! 3 times and with each time I saw them, they got more watered down. I saw Future Corps many times. NOT watered down!

[@gispel7058]

Unappreciative simpletons rushing by in a hurry to partake in some mindless theme park attraction. No idea in their limited scope how great these players are!!!

[@jameskearney4100]

This is like Drum Corp used to be..GOOD!!

[@decoymiata]

Chills

[@Themicrocheeze]

Would have been perfect for soundsport

[@thelonearranger1]

I believe this arrangement was originally written by Bill Holman for Stan Kenton.

[@LowReedExpert1]

+thelonearranger1 And i'd like to direct your attention if i may to the mellophoniums in this number, they're the instruments with the big round tubing and large flaring bells. Ladies and gentlemen, i present to you Malaguena

[@rodcash75]

I am trying to find out where I can buy the CD that had La Fiesta and other tunes I liked. Had it before but while in college it got missing. Can you help

[@wushock92]

Sounds like the arrangement we (Sky Ryders) played in 1978.

[@angelaboncore3132]

With such talent as Future Corps - Ya'll needed a Guard to complete the ensemble... Especially with Malaguena... I can visualize it.

[@markymark9516]

@anobixx I so agree lol

[@chestermarcol3831]

Madison Scouts (1988) watched this and said, "Well, F***..."

[@shibe.mp4]

1:33

[@jakebaker1051]

Cadets...

[@scoutsaj]

Sounds a little similar to the DCI World Champions from the year before arrangement...

[@daveyboygee]

A lot of their songs were from the "Drum Corps Hit Parade." Their version of Malaguena was very much like 1988 Scouts except that theirs had all the screaming trumpet parts that we wished could have been in there. As a marching member of that DCI winning corps, I was happy to have been part of the inspiration for this Future Corps piece as, I think, anyone who played a song that Future Corps picked up would be!

[@scoutsaj]

David Gilbertson I don't recall trumpets being used in Future Corps ever? I will say that 88 was a year that I wish I had been old and talented enough to have been apart of the corps, but my time was nine years later. MYNWA brother.

[@daveyboygee]

Lol, correct. I put it that way for those who wouldn't know what a "soprano bugle" is. YNWA.

[@scoutsaj]

LOL :D

[@keemez]

Looks like we got some fellow brothers lurkin around in here. Attaboys. Coach- '95

[@Perforantes]

Blast is also playing this arrangement and it is not bad at all.

[@daveyboygee]

A credit to the arranger, Scott Boerma. I have the utmost respect for his work. Genius.

[@BrassThunder]

He was arranger and hornline instructor for Madison Scouts for many years....It's like you can pick out a Boerma arrangment just by the sound........

[@BenJohnson-ro7fd]

Re

[@countra6]

because Disney cut budget and they were on that list. it is a shame

[@hellohellomooo]

Nah. Cadets 03' sounded a lot like this. Lol

[@nannyg666]

11 horns and no sound system.

[@davepeto2426]

Too bad Disney pulled the plug on them about 20 years ago. Some of them helped found the Brass Band of Central Florida at about the same time Future Corps disbanded. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Future_Corps
