JMU Marching Royal Dukes- Firedance- 1999

[@four.four.four.]

We brought this back this year and we performed with the Boston Brass :))

[@petetartaro]

Great stumbling across this. Those were some great times!

[@mstrshredder]

This is by far the best version of this song that JMU did. The trumpets these days can't hang...this line up of trumpets is beast!!!!!!!!! Lip slurs like a mo.....

[@zachrose458]

Brian Lyle of Virginia. Jason Mick of Virginia. Jeremy Walmer of Pennsylvania. Eric Dicken of Virginia. Not pictured in this performance Ray Carey of Virginia. All names every trumpet player in the region knew in the late 90’sand early ‘00s. Even in GREECE!

[@northstar43]

this was the best year for the trumpet solos.

[@DJMixNice]

Tuba 1997 - 2001. Without a doubt one of my favs!! Gotta say Brian and the guys used to hold the solos down like no other.... Brian where did you go? lol

[@fundogg]

nice video...i marched snare that year. you can actually see me in the background at like 1:34 in the middle of the screen

Loved playing this 1980 in Sky Ryder's Drum and Bugle Corp. Then at ECU in Oklahoma. Pretty sure this is the same arrangement. So nice

[@KuruptGamingPS]

Omg I get chills everytime haha. This is amazing

[@ericdicken]

[@ericdicken]

I would have to agree. The best year for the trumpet solos :-)

[@ewallize]

Absolutely. Incredible.

[@israelmartinez6500]

wow!

[@cboan]

Good job Brian!

[@slappy1234567]

Great!

[@HTGold]

hell yeah!!

[@IIIThreat]

Loved the trumpet soloists! They were awesome! Overall it was a pretty nice job, but I just wish it still had some of blaring mellophone stuff of the original. Not bad, though!

[@MrsTrustyJ]

For the record, it does - I'm in here somewhere and it's not coming through on the recording. But we were damned loud on the field!
