There is a very small sub-sect of the human race that will understand with the necessary technicality how incredibly impossible this song is to play and how absolutely perfectly these guys were nailing it - with surgical precision - while marching. This theme is notorious for being a difficult piece, especially amongst musicians, and these 13-14 guys pulled it off whilst producing sounds just as powerful as a full marching band. This is just absolutely incredible. The fact that people are just walking by while this is happening absolutely mystifies me.

[@keithlewis9691]

I know right? I'd be following them around the whole day. Screw rides and whatever else Disney has to offer. This is world-class music being made right in front of you.

[@jktwice8235]

The fact that people are just walking by should be a tip off that Future Corps is doing their job incredibly well.

[@johno7564]

The 90s was an incredible time for performance art. We went out to Orlando, FL for the DCI Finals and caught The Future corp a few times. Returning back to SoCal. We got to see Tom Float and two others in the Trash can trio…

[@shannonopel9345]

Dear Disney: Please bring these guys back. I know Mark Zauss still plays with a group in the Magic Kingdom, but I'm sure that DCI is still breaming with young talent waiting to get a chance like this.

[@brisully]

What I wouldn’t give to see these guys come back and play “The Incredibles”.....

[@keithlewis9691]

Unfrickingbelievable. Forget rides. I'd follow these guys around all day.

[@mr.c8033]

Oh! My! Gosh! That was jaw dropping!

[@billkard]

Neat thing is people keep finding this and enjoying an appreciating it - 5 years after it was posted and 23 years after it was performed. Today's "drum corps" doesn't give me goose bumps like this.

[@HeathPaulat]

Bill Kardos I couldn't agree more!

[@cab1stborn]

Modern Drum Corps have definitely defined a lot of really great moments.

[@peierple]

all though I do appreciate the marching band Disney has now, id luv it even more if future corps came back. such a heavy sound! me luvsssssssss!!!!!

[@davidfisher5599]

Love this. When I want to get myself in a good mood...I throw this on. Great stuff. It's OK to have fun.

[@thelonearranger1]

That is so awesome- arrangement, chord structure, runs, execution, tone quality, etc. I need to put this video on a loop and just eat, sleep, and listen to it.

[@keithchrysler3732]

I'd like to hear a studio recording of this!

[@rayrocher6887]

that is very difficult, impressive, magnificent coreography. good show. great band. thanks Disney. it was hard, and thanks for the clip.

[@steveparaczky4374]

Love that tune!

[@radio645]

"Jane! stop this crazy thing!"

[@rotarychainsaw]

Holy crap.

[@mikelong352]

This remains my ringtone! :)

[@DaleSawyers-yk8zz]

Absolute fire

[@kaylalewis6718]

Outstanding!

[@DV-mq5fv]

Bring Future Corps back to Disney!

[@GrantPmusic]

This is INSANE!!!! Awesome. I think if there were some more tag words in here like disney disneyland epcott magic kingdom disney world etc... a LOT more views would be on here.

[@user-hv3zc2jf1k]

👍👍👍👍👍

[@philburns9049]

Animals !

[@davidfisher5599]

Early entrance on that soprano solo, but I enjoyed it both times!

[@seanmaysack4703]

My God man... you're using G+

[@Dizzyphan]

Sad that the modern Disney main band is trying to copy this. I don't think Walt envisioned a mini drumcorps show for the main Disney band. Supposed to be 1890's "town band" for them. That said, they really should bring back Future Corps.

[@apoch003]

WOW!!! I've always wanted to hear a corps do that well! Now do Jonny Quest!

[@TheIndigoBros92]

There is definitively something missing of Epcot without that Horizons building on the Future World West side of the park.

[@willarddawson8463]

The rolling drum kits came later, I guess. Poor guy carrying the triple bass drums, now that was monstrous.

[@kmabru]

Not sure exactly when it was, but based on videos posted, somewhere around 1997. Never cared for the rolling racks. Didn't matter if it was the 5 bass or the 6 bass configuration, they just didn't project as well.

[@nztrombone]

Awesome!

[@02_base]

Does anyone else want a transcription of this?

[@phantommp5]

Wow!!!

[@Bush09Lots]

wow.

[@breezemont]

Yep. Look up "evolution of the bugle".

[@AidanRitchie]

Breezemont is actually right... These are bugles in G.

[@SAMWITHSOCKS]

...I just realized that I'm not a real man. Damn, must keep practicing to get my cahones back.

[@nicklaus4444]

contrabass bugle actually.. calling it a contra could confuse it with the contrabass tuba also more commonly shortened to tuba. Sorry had to do it. :P

[@breezemont]

You can, but you would be wrong.

[@breezemont]

That's not a trumpet, it's a soprano bugle.
