I still love this. And I really love when drum corps play music we know.

That awkward moments when the Scouts soloists are louder than the corp, but the BD trumpets need to have mics... and still aren't loud enough... Teehee.

@missnics15 I marched in the 1988 Scouts and I'll tell you THEY ARE BACK! I saw the Big Loud and Live prelims show and the whole theater erupted at the last hit. It was awesome! And FYI - the scouts MADE a PIANO on the field in 1985 while playing "Rhapsody in Blue." This was before pianos were allowed! So they do have a history with the instrument. Just sayin'!

I miss living in New York and have been missing it badly. I went to see the Scouts compete in San Antonio and once I heard/saw them perform this song, I couldn't help but start crying. LOL, They did a FANTASTIC job and I am very much pleased with this show. It was one of my favorite highlights of the entire season! GO SCOUTS!!!!!

@missnics15 This is amazing music. You need to open up- a lot. Especailly how you put it, you're spitting in the faces of everyone in this corp and DCI in general. I personally was there that night, and I was blown away musically AND visually. Unless you are (or were) a judge for DCI, you have no right to insult these talented musicians.

@eop279 I was at the SA show too. I saw all of the top corps except Carolina Crown and yes, those were all great, but Scouts gave me the best suprise of the night. No other corp managed to put the same big grin on my face that came over me when I saw this closer. It was the most pleasant surprise. Go Scouts indeed.

@TheDragonmaster18 which black college arrangement ? every black college has their own arrangement. you may have to be specific. For those not aware, this is Empire 2, not the first one with Jay-Z. Very well done. Execution is a 97/100 (wasn't a completely 'together' start and screamers missed a few notes here and there).

Honestly...it didn't impress me at all. Not to say that it didn't sound good...just didn't have that umph. As far as sounding better than black college arrangements of the song...it's a rap song, It's suppose to sound gritty and rough. Unless you're playing the Alicia Keys version.
