Future Corps 1993 La Fiesta
solos
sopranos John Castleman, Dave Smith and Dave Coolidge
baritones Don Lang and Jeff Campese

[@just__dave]

My friends and I used to go to Disneyland in Cali JUST to watch Future Corps and the great Mike Collins (BD 86 soprano soloist). Really miss those days.

[@sean-patrickiles8650]

Bring this group back!!!!!!

[@mynamisdan]

John Castleman is such an underappreciated gem of the trumpet world. That guy contributed absolute TOP TIER musicianship to this group. The best jazz solos ever played on a G bugle, and monstrous lead chops. In my opinion, he might be the most important piece of the character of this group. He absolutely elevated the music this group played FAR above its original conception.

[@RogueBrit]

Screw the rest if the park I would have stayed there all day

You should see the crap they put out now 😂

[@HardSarge]

[@IROCullan]

The word "Baddass" does not even begin to describe this.

[@johns3106]

Nobody gives those baris proper credit... they are killing it !

[@Kunkel5]

I saw FutureCorps on a band trip in December 1992 and it was one of the happiest memories of my childhood. Still my Disney dream job.

[@toAdmiller]

Holy crap! They do such a powerful send-up of MF's version! LOVE THIS!!

[@alexgaither2479]

That trumpet trio gave me chills

[@jeffgroth3092]

40,000 views.... Not One single dislike.... That's how good these guys are!

[@stevenlocklear7711]

Such a huge, full sound for such a small group! These guys gave me cold chills every time we stopped to watch!

[@SoaringTrumpet]

That is some of the finest high note work I have ever heard. 2:57

[@harvey894]

Dear lord, their chops are infinite

[@phoenixrising4073]

Every time I hear the trumpet trio solo I either smile really big or shake my head in disbelief, sometimes both. They were the best band I've ever seen live, hands down.

[@jimhurley9420]

They are playin G Bugles. That is a soprano

[@meekmeek7991]

Same difference, they are still trumpet players

[@zachUK]

This is just off the f'ing scale. Absurdly good. Insanely talented musicians. I .. I ... I just don't have the words!

[@alrightbassist]

I love how this is adapted from the Ferguson arrangement.

[@allenwolfkill2781]

I would have gone all the way to Disney World from Los Angeles just to watch these guys perform

[@SoaringTrumpet]

3:42 Fucking nailed it. And that soprano shake at 4:02 is amazing!

[@knudswaable]

An often overlooked ensemble. Had the opportunity to audition with these guys. If you went to Disneyworld in the early 90s you probably saw these guys.

[@DreadPirateRobbo]

I went on a trip with family back then (94 or so) and watched them like a total DCI geek. Wearing my Marauders shirt and a VK hat, based on photos from the trip.

[@RogueBrit]

Loved that baritone...really really good

[@rodicus]

Holy Christ, I miss these guys.

[@gazastripclub8356]

Everyone's a winner

[@allenwolfkill2781]

I say it every time I watch this video 'these guys are freaking amazing!'

[@cainanuk]

Most kick ass drum corps chart ever

[@jasonmarchand4980]

This setting was the first time I’d ever heard this tune. I think I was 9 or so. That would have been 1990!

[@JSpade85]

This song has always given me goosebumps. Great version of the song!!!!

[@Jason-Rose]

There are not enough "Like" buttons for this video!

[@keithchrysler3732]

I would love to hear a studio recording of this and the Jetsons one too!

[@RyanonBasss]

it's out there somewhere. my high school trumpet teacher burned me a CD of their music back in the early 00s. I'll look to see if I still have it

[@musashi1562]

Incredible performance...

[@djandrewmichael]

One word “Wow” !!!

[@ashleymilum1712]

This is some absurdly great playing!

[@RichSzabo1]

These guys are stellar. Wish could have seen them live.

[@johnlepkowski3831]

A shout out to a great band instructor: Greg Martian from lake Howell hs in winter Park FL. Most of these aragements came directly from the 1982 to 1986 lake Howell silver regiment. This music was all inspired from DRUM corps international and in particular the blue devils. I played opposite to the lead trumpet player... Exact opposite.. better to be the worst player in the best band then to be the best player in the worst band.

[@gregsimpson6214]

It’s amazing, people just wandering by not even paying one bit of attention.

[@djandrewmichael]

Fucking amazing !!!

[@knutklette3785]

Fantastic 💯🎺

[@HE360]

One thing that they forgot to do is put a bucket out in front of them to collect tips, because I myself would put in AT LEAST $50 in their bucket if they had one!

[@rickslzr4613]

Esto es de otro nivel Muy grandes los músicos 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@thomasgill223]

These guys are incredible!

[@Tapper7]

@alrightbassist I love how it seems like all their Maynard charts sound true to the original.

[@djandrewmichael]

That last note🎶though! 💜

[@andrewwhitehead11]

Yeah Euphs!!!

[@stale56]

I'm a pretty big fan of Adam Rapa and I always forget that he played on a G bugle "back in his day". It's amazing to see those videos and then to see how much he has matured and improved

[@themagicboy6548]

trumpets are insane, my face would explode before I could hit notes like that

[@ihatenjoi]

This is truly amazing. We need to get Disney to fund a competitive DCI corps. :O

[@SenapatiAN]

best video on youtube!

[@drbenhgn1869]

I grew up in drum corps. To this day It still influences my life in subtle ways. All kids should get involved.

[@mrpoopoohead7668]

but only 1970's style the way Drum Corps was meant to be! just my personal drum corps alumni opinion

[@drbenhgn1869]

@@mrpoopoohead7668 I totally agree. 👍

Too good

It’s very cool!!!!!!!!!

[@tplunkett3]

Holy CRAP!!!

[@gispel7058]

Our JC instructor expected us trombones to play this with slide trombones. None of us could yet he humiliated us anyway and insisted we play La Fiesta at a concert. He was very much like the instructor in the film Whiplash. 😠 Probably could have cut it with valve trombones. I know I could have and I think the Ferguson band used them too

[@rheafoster7346]

great!

[@sethm5481]

Bangin

[@Galileo0029]

激アツ！

[@stale56]

What if Bill Chas played a soprano bugle instead of a Bb trumpet. Oh... My.. Gawd...

[@JamieSmith-fz2mz]

Maynard's LaFiesta... unfortunately completely lost on the Disney crowd. "Which movie is THIS song from, Mom?" Blank stares.

[@w1bey]

do you have the video of the performance they did at the dci finals in i believe 1991 where they performed la fiesta and malaguena

[@homfencing]

Very faithful to the Maynard original...but I can't help wishing it was closer to what we played in 84 BD.

[@sxymike12]

That’s amazing, holy crap what happened to this act?

[@marwansaidi4078]

One of the Contras is Mike Roylance (current Principle Tuba with Boston Symphony) correct?

[@agogobell28]

Marwan Saidi Yes, I'm fairly sure that's true. I've seen you and him both on DCP forums, so that makes sense.

[@ensleycastillofunes3063]

Hello, and who is the name of the other contra?

@alrightbassist wrong, future corps plays the actual version, Maynards is tweaked

[@madisonhunter2208]

Lol love that song by Maynard Ferguson. They did a great job.

[@mikeburns1725]

Actually, it is a Chick Corea song...... but I liked Jerry Johnson's arrangement for Maynard better.

[@bendouglas2374]

Re to Ted P: they were cut by Disney for cost reasons.

[@tedp8229]

Excellent ! What happened to those trp. players? Loved it.

[@meanathradon]

disney fired them. they were distracting too many people from buying mickey mouse souvenirs.

[@catcat1517]

Wow this small corps has some serous chops !!!❤

[@ultramannick]

Do they still even exist?

[@oldschooldrumcorps]

I wonder what Corps did the members of Future Corps march with? anybody know?

[@michaeltaylor8435]

Back in '94 I got a chance to speak w/ them and their members came from all over the place. At the time there sop players were from BD, Mauraders, and Star. I remember that the contra players were from Suncoast and Cav's if I recall. I miss that they aren't there anymore. Would love for my kids to get a chance see them. I saw them perform this song in person and it was AMAZING!!

[@brigjuicebrass9203]

Hi Michael, do you happen to remember the name of the guy that marched with the Marauders? and was it the Marauders from Syracuse, NY? Thanks.

[@tomshea8382]

Probably the Marauders from Longview, WA, who had climbed the ranks of DCI's associate level in the late 80s.

[@justinjordan9222]

In LA it was more of us from BD, or the Velvet Knights back in the early days

[@andydavid4240]

2nd Trumpet is an FSU guy

[@jared0111]

go noles

[@nicowellers586]

i think they like maynard ferguson, dont they? ;D But no one can copy the master .p

[@homfencing]

Well they sure didn't play the same version I played in 84 BD.

[@bendouglas2374]

What is wrong with this crowd????? Am I missing something? Is there a noise reduction on the recorder or something? I remember practically screaming and nearly doing back flips in the front row at right about mark 3:50 of this recording, and getting people around me to do the same. LAME!

[@luxetlex]

This is blasphemy, but the lead trumpet (bugle) could give Maynard a run for his money! Maybe not on pure range, but everything he plays is crisp and he nails the partials, flips, and lip trills. Very impressed!

[@ISGLLC]

@ 3:46... I got the ugly face..

[@comm56ful]

Excellent all around. The people walking by are boneheads who will never get it.
