One of the best DCI shows.... EVER! Still one of the best drum lines in history.

[@scottdavio3716]

I was so privileged to see them perform this both in 88 and 89. Still makes me cry when I see it 😢brings back so many memories.

[@abgraphix]

Thank you for this! Santa Clara Vanguard is not fielding a corps for the first year in their history! We needed this! Your reaction was the same we ALL had in 88! Long live Santa Clara Vanguard!❤️

[@carlwbaggettjr153]

She had EXACTLY the right reaction to the ending that everyone experienced in ‘88. It just shows you how timeless the music is. It’s a shame this one didn’t win as Madison was a juggernaut. It will, however, always remain as one of my favorite shows of all time.

[@mightygerot4427]

Malagueña just too good fr

[@rbripley]

As one of the performers that year, it was such a treat to watch you enjoy it all these years later!

[@quintenmoshy7798]

Juliet Ferriera is the name of the Phantom of the Opera color guard actress (the main dancer) in this performance. She’s my high school marching band’s color guard director, and she’s absolutely AMAZING. She’s done so much creative work to make our marching program top notch, and we idolize her because of it. Can’t say enough good things about her.

[@louievasquez8004]

I am super excited that you enjoyed the 1988 Santa Clara Vanguard show❤️As fellow Vanguard alumni from 1991, 1992 it absolutely brings joy to my heart to how much you enjoyed it. As members it’s so much joy to see you love it❤️That show brings tears to my eyes still to this day❤️

[@TNG173]

92 vanguard is my favorite show! Clip of it on my channel!

[@edp5886]

Your 92 show was the most amazing!

[@preKettled]

Speaking of musical shows, 2013 Santa Clara! Les Miserables! Such an underrated gem 💙

[@BRUXXUS]

Oh man... that was a BEAST! Saw it live in Dallas. That part in the ballad where the hornline is all backfield just blasting into the visitor stands is one of the most surreal and powerful moments I've witnessed in a show. Sounded like the whole visitor stands were about to collapse, lol.

[@preKettled]

BRUXXUS I would kill to see that show live!! That and the ending hit in the closer seem like it would blow the place away. Not the best overall (sucks they didn’t place as high as I wanted) but in general affect to me, (especially because I love les mis) amazing

[@elijahcrosby786]

wait SCV 2013?? i thought it was 1989 Cadets

[@nhpowell12]

@@elijahcrosby786 There have been quite a few Les Miserables show's over the years

[@DubiousKing]

If you need more Les Mis you should also check out Boston Crusaders 2011. I marched that year and I still absolutely love our rendition of Bring Him Home

[@pickletm3336]

Just think...that was the same corps that 30 years later performed Babylon.

[@neal0071234able]

Ya know 18 scv sorta spoke to the old school elements of a drum corps show.. I cant put finger on it.. But it just seemed like that show minus props could've existed in the 90s

@@neal0071234able the hip-hop dance break?? Lol

[@zwalkover]

@@neal0071234able Oh absolutely! Take that music and listen to 98-02. Babylon's music is classic Vanguard.

My thoughts exactly.. 99 and 2000 is my favorite vanguard moments..

[@bernie9543]

j smith Yeah Babylon felt so new yet so old school

[@totaldestroyer1]

Aw you should’ve reacted to the 1989 Santa Clara Vanguard. They did phantom of the Opera that year too and they got 1st place at finals as well.

[@josephavila7178]

Took the words right out of my mouth

[@lhsbandfreak11]

Tbh, I feel that 1988's rendition was better than 1989's, and the only reason they didn't win in '88 was because Madison had that beast of a show

[@samsignorelli]

@@lhsbandfreak11 Feh....the "beast" was Malaguena. The opener was a frackfest.

[@oldsopplaya]

I watched Madison's show and thought SCV was better, I am a longtime Madison lover. Take my word for it.

[@lhsbandfreak11]

@@oldsopplaya I definitely respect your take on it. I only heard very little bit about it, but do you feel the random draw for finals performance times cost SCV the title that year in part? We know judges can sometimes get it wrong, but I wonder if that didn't help them, both Vanguard and the panel

[@ladyradiana]

I saw this performance done at our state university and I will never forget it at one point it was so overwhelming that I felt as if the gates of heaven had opened up.

[@gemgirl2000]

I was there that night. I was 7 years old. It was magic. To hear it live was unbelievable. And I LOVE Phantom of The Opera. I picked up a horn after that and I’ve been in love with DCI ever since.

[@Mrtellitlikeitis]

Dude. At 7 you don’t remember shit

[@TheKillabutcha]

i was in this corp and i want to thank you for taking time to watch it. and I'm glad you enjoyed it💯

[@jared0111]

the music moment you described after the show ended really is a profound and special thing. it's not just being unified with pride while competing with your fellow members, or the knowledge that it's your final opportunity to perform with (or even be in the vicinity of) this family of people, performing something you've rehearsed every day for months and months, since after finals, IT'S ALL OVER, and everyone goes home to wherever in the country/world they're from.......but on top of all that, it's about that feeling when you see, hear, and FEEL the crowd being affected by your performance. in my 5 summers of doing this (03-07), my most memorable and cherished on-field moment was at the climax of our (bluecoats) 2006 ballad, and i can still remember the exact feeling at the moment we arrived at our big major chord. i can picture the view of the crowd in wisconsin from behind the bell of my horn and feeling this tangible rush of energy from the crowd, the emotional resonance of all the harmonies, melodies, and dynamics we'd been building up. (ironically, or perhaps not, in a meta kind of way, that sort of connection was kinda the concept behind our show as a whole.) i felt unified with the crowd, like they felt what i was feeling in that moment. it's the big payoff, the culmination of months of effort.....but don't sell your own emotions short!! what you experienced is exactly the point, and i appreciate your earnestness and humility in terms of sorting through your responses. we do it all summer long, day in, day out, and it's exciting (and difficult) to push ourselves to be as good as possible and all, but there's really nothing like sharing this craft with a crowd of people, reveling in their surprise, and basking in their gratitude and enjoyment. it's truly a two-sided conversation, and reactions from people such as yourself, whether it's in crowds, and online like this, is the exchange of energy we do it for. also, what you said about old drum corps being pretty similar to modern drum corps, and the honor of carrying on these traditions and keeping the legacies going, are both so so so true. it really is an immense honor to help carry the torch for the activity, in the footsteps of these timeless shows we know and love. there are a lot more similarities than differences; rule changes or not, it's still the same 'thing.' for what it's worth, i'm not sure drum corps is dying, or even getting less popular than it was 10, 20, 30 years ago. yes, there are less corps than there used to be, but there are still full stadiums around the country as the tour is going on, and thousands and thousands of people auditioning. people like to say it's less popular because they're not happy with some of the modern rules changes, and want to act like the changes killed the activity just because they're mad about the changes. it's not 'popular' like mainstream popular, but it still seems pretty healthy. while some people hate the new rules, others love them. i love older shows (especially once asymmetrical drill became a thing in the mid-80's) and new ones alike....i used to be cranky about electronics and rule changes, but i love the performance level of where the activity's at these days, so i'm just happy to be along for the ride. cheers to anyone who got this far!! much love and here's to hoping for a strong and healthy comeback for our beloved music-pageantry-sport in 2021!

[@ethanschneider625]

Okay you absolutely NEED to watch Mad World by The Cavaliers from 2010. It’s an amazing show!

1988 Santa Clara Vanguard is one of the first drumcorps shows I ever saw and it is STILL one of my favorites. Music of the night always gets me.

[@Flipperwi715]

Just have to say - Your videos girl.... With all the hate and grim that's going on over here in the US. The joy you bring is not only missed. It's supersize appreciated.

[@radlikewhoa]

Cavaliers 2010 Carolina Crown 2016 Vanguard 1999 Cavaliers 2014 (bc hashtag ageout) You’ve never let me down so keep that up! I’m so proud of you for opening the eyes up to the new babies in drum corps to see shows literally back in 1988. I’m so happy right now!

[@BRUXXUS]

Also, your perception and feeling about how it feels to perform is spot on, but what I find even more amazing is that you TOTALLY get the feeling of family and camaraderie everyone that's marched with EVERYONE else that's marched drum corps. It's an instant bond and feeling of understanding and friendship. You *know* how hard they worked, you *know* that person went through hell but also experienced the best times and biggest sense of accomplishment. I've actually got jobs because an interviewer knew what drum corps was and saw I'd marched on my resume'. They understand that level of hard work, dedication, and teamwork is something few people can match, and I'm so, so thankful to this day I got to experience it. :)

[@AlexWells02]

You need to watch 1989 Santa Clara Vanguard “Phantom Of The Opera”. They won that year with a score of 98.80 and it’s so good

[@poconofriend777]

i'm surprised the guy chose 88 over 89 tbh. I feel like 89 is regarded as the better version.

[@soonerdrummer12]

THIS! She should have watched 1989 first.

[@AlexWells02]

greggsovereasy I totally agree

[@kennethrountree5980]

It’s hard to find a complete good version of 89 on KZbin. 88 video is better quality.

[@jwillis35]

Still one of my favorite shows of all time. Classic and modern drum corps in one show. They did the show again in 1989, and while I liked that version too I think 1988 was better. So emotional.

[@jademetcalf]

Love that you love this activity as much as we alums and fans do. Thank you! When it comes to this Phantom of the Opera show I can't help but shed a tear, just like you. Too bad you couldn't have seen it in person (you weren't born yet). You would have loved it even more (the whole corps "disappeared" on the field).

[@seanlasker8462]

11:26 yall don't understand the CHILLS i get when I hear this part. This show is so great.

[@dannysanchez3525]

Crazy part is this show didn't win this year but the next year

I saw those tears in your eyes.... Takes me back to that show

[@timschaming613]

yes Marched in 73 and from 83 to 2004 never missed finals week.... they have lost the goose bump factor today.

[@kristinchilders174]

Thank you so much for posting this. It's awesome to see your raw emotions watching this performance. ❤ There's currently a tiff between old school vs. new school, and this video confirms what old school tried to bring out in the audience seeing your reaction!

[@GeometricMason]

The golden age of DCI. I saw this show in person (not this performance, but earlier that season) and it was mind-blowing. So loud it made your chest vibrate. You really should do 1987 Sky Ryders... West Side Story.

[@jared0111]

88 suncoast!

[@stephenkinney1194]

This was a classic show, but you made me feel a little old when you said you hadn't even been born yet lol (I had just graduated high school). Anyway, I've noticed that you've been reacting to quite a bit of DCI, and thought I'd throw my all time favorite show into the mix: Phantom Regiment's "Harmonic Journey" from 2003.

[@andrewreisinger6860]

Right?!

[@dre6582]

Seconded on Harmonic Journey. It was literally a year before I was born but when I heard it, it quickly became one of my favorites

[@cyberbri6899]

I loved your reaction to the show!! I marched in a smaller drum corps back then and Santa Clara was my favorite Corps. Even in a smaller corps you have a overwhelming sense of pride. There is nothing else like this. It takes so much energy and commitment to do this. Santa Clara did this show but very different arrangements 2 years in a row. The 1988 show was so very incredible and the 1989 was even more incredible. Vanguard played after us at many shows and we got to go in the stands to watch all the other corps perform. It was such a magical time beck then. I wish I had a time machine to go back!!!!

[@seanmundy9829]

You got to see the two styles that make up Vanguard. On one side, Vanguard is amazing at doing arrangements of Broadway musicals such as Phantom, Fiddler on the Roof, Les Miserables, and a few others. On the other side, they are incredible at performing a lot of 20th century and contemporary classical music, which is what you heard in the Babylon production. It definitely does good to watch corps in the 80s and 90s because you get to see the corps' musical and visual identity evolve and change from year to year. That was a golden period of drum corps.

[@jamesblanton3744]

It's hard to understand just how tough it is to play and march at the same time without messing up

[@michaelingram9354]

this is on g bugles too. they're managing to be in tune on them while doing it

[@KevinGamin]

Michael Ingram Give us SOME credit. 😁

[@jtr18330]

Courtney, I have watched this particular show dozens of times. I have never cried at the end until I watched it along with you here. Somet hing about your genuine reactions of amazement and emotional connection moves me and makes me feel less like a “band nerd” (U.S. derogatory slang for school kinds in band)! Cheers! And you should totally come to the states and see a show in person someday!

[@iidentifyasasausagemcmuffi6231]

I know i have to make a formal reccomendation, but 1992 Blue Devils is a great show, especially When a Man Loves a Woman!

[@toddcurry3448]

Hi Courtney! Me again. This is one of my all time favorite shows. When this thing hit the field, Phantom of the Opera was in its first year on Broadway and tickets took a year to get! This is old school drum corps but still extremely relatable. Everyone knows the music and the story so it fun just to sit back and enjoy it all. PS, There’s lots of little hidden surprises in all these shows so watch them a few times and see what you missed, you’ll be amazed!!!

[@butlertimothy]

As an early 2000’s SCV Alum, it’s nice to see people appreciate our hard work. I have my SCV Aussie cover displayed right next to my college and two high school covers. It’s a reminder of the musical journey I took.

[@robpena9152]

Bro when she said please dont let it get less popular, I felt that :')

[@JeffDierking]

I can't even begin to describe the feeling when you are performing a show that hit all the points. You are so amped up it is a feeling like no other!! As a matter of point, all of those performers are 14-21 years of age, if you weren't aware.

[@larrywt656]

I really LOVE watching your reactions to these videos. It's so refreshing watching someone who really "gets it". I'm also amazed by the high quality of the video and audio of this clip. I started working professionally in the video/television industry in 1987, and I look back at some of the stuff I did back then and cringe with how lousy the quality is.

[@brichpmr]

That beautiful and powerful sound induces goosebumps when you hear it live or are inside of the corps.

[@larryfinney3760]

Hi! I was a member of the Vanguard in 1988. I was the skinny kid in the pit with the blonde flat top. I loved watching your reaction. Thanks for posting!

I was there for this show and all the others this years. It was pretty great. In 1991 I got to March with the Cavaliers and absolutely loved it.

[@brianrandol]

I am so happy you finally got to see "The Phantom of the Opera" your reaction during the company front. Love it. The experience of having been a part of drum corps. Is like none other.

One of my all time favorite DCI shows. I was in that crowd. Though young, this show was magnificent.

[@rjminar1980]

Fantastic reaction! I love that you appreciate these older DCI shows. You should do one for the 1988 Blue Devils too. They were undefeated going into finals and got upset. But their show that year was one of the best ever in my opinion.

[@ThereaalSP]

Watch Crown 2016!!! The shows name is Relentless and it is PREMIUM!! Also I really wanna March with vanguard,it’s a big dream of mine!

[@totesgene]

My favorite corps. They were the epitome of class. True champions in victory and defeat. I love them so much - as much as the corps I marched with.

[@JonathanLawson]

If you ever go to a DCI show, you need to go to two shows on consecutive nights. Once to see the shows on the field, and once to walk around the parking lot and watch warm-ups.

[@Sherman1fan]

Notice they are using bugles (2 valve) back in the day! Some high schools in the 90's used this theme for their shows, so spectacular!

[@kevinstone9638]

These were the two shows that inspired me to want to march DCI and I was fortunate enough to be 1993 Member of the Bluecoats. Thank you to these shows for inspiring me so many years ago.

[@luistrevino3991]

This show was awesome.amd I'm glad you loved it. You should watch Santa Clara Vanguard 1989. They did Phantom of the Opera again that year. They rearranged the music and turned their performance up a few notches amd ended up winning the world championship.

[@joshd1911]

Another instrument facts: they're actually using bugles! More specifically, two valved (button) bugles. Whenever the 2 trumpet/ soprano horn soloists played, you can tell there's only 2 valves

[@chimparse]

Nice to watch this, Love that you love it. The first ever DCI finals video I saw was 1988 (I'm 50 BTW) I was in a Drum Corps in England at the time and DCI was the 'Premier league' of Drum Corps (the best of the best) so we all idolised it. All the corps were incredible, it blew my mind! they were amazing. The one that really stood out for me though was 'Blue Devils', the coolest corps and the best sounding hornline I've ever heard, to this day!. Please do a reaction video for BD '88. I hope you won't be disappointed. Great vid. keep up the good work

[@zacharyliles8657]

Courtney I think you'd really enjoy Cavaliers 2006 show Machine. It was mid-2000s Cavies at the peak of their dominance and as someone who really seems to enjoy the drill aspect of DCI, I think you'd really appreciate how cool and unique their movement is! Definitely worth checking out!

[@StGeoRUSH619]

FMM -- The Cavaliers '77-'87 (Baritone/Contrabass)-- As performers, most of us are so focused that we try to block the crowd reaction, but when it hits, it's a feeling that's very hard to explain. Sometimes the crowd can be so loud that it overpowers our playing, and that's when it becomes difficult. When your group hits on all cylinders as Santa Clara Vanguard did here, with the emotion and power, it's pretty awesome. That's a hard feeling to beat, knowing that you left absolutely everything on the field, with no regrets. That's what makes it all worth it (win or lose)

[@Jerco123]

When i was in highschool i joined one the famous drum and bugle corps...i learnt a lot.. amazing feeling... teamwork....foot work...music...sport....amazing arrangements.... everything in one... tiring yes..but its nothing.....i was lucky enough tobe part of the team...

[@fgfgfg451]

This is, by far and without a doubt, the single best closer in DCI history. It was so epic, in fact, that they did it two years in a row.

[@jared0111]

that diagonal company front at 11:40 was pretty sweet, you don't see it too often. (blue devils 2014 is one of the only examples that pops into mind right now, i don't know if those classic madison scouts rotating ones count.) i've listened to the 1989 version of this show (which set a scoring record for a championship show that stood until 2002 cavaliers), maybe like 100+ times in my life, but have only listened to the first version in 1988 maybe 2 or 3 times. i've been sleeping on it, it's a solid show, fairly different than 1989. maybe a little more subdued. personally i loooooooooove blue devils' hornline and music ensemble that year, but visual/guard/percussion/general effect all might've been what helped push madison ahead of bd and scv in 88.

[@osutuba]

This was the show that caused me to fall in love with Drum Corps Something to bear in mind: in 1988, they were play 2-valved G Bugles, and not standard Trumpets, Horns, Baritones, and Tubas like they are now. So, not only are people playing like this, but they are doing after having to learn a totally different fingering system compared to what they have played in high school and/or college.

[@Berkut13]

I saw it live both in '87 and '88...it was an experience I'll never forget.

[@chasebuccaran8447]

I got emotional because I was fortunate enough to see The Phantom of the Opera musical and I was able recognize the music. This is almost as powerful as the musical

[@SithScorp]

Something to be said about the quality of sound without being dependent upon amplification and electronics... If you like the recording, hearing it LIVE was incredible. The sound was THICK and tangible. You could feel it in the air around you. Speakers can make loud sound, but it is not the same.

[@ikshields]

There is simply no substitute for giant sound being made by humans, and the listener being aware of this at every moment. No amplifier and no electronic effect will ever have this fundamental power.

[@karensweeney8610]

Years ago the championships took place in different locations around the states and sometimes i could get there. Once they decided to centrally locate it it was too far away. But i can understand the costs involved to get corps from one end of the country to the other. We did see the dci in Philadelphia in 1976 i think was the year..

[@fireantsarestrange]

Glad you liked it.. i was there. DCI 1988- 91

[@mochs3869]

Me too - 1984-1987.

[@fireantsarestrange]

Yea man i was Freelancers Baritone

[@takigan]

14:06 "Isn't it amazing that this art....is still here today?" That's a mood right there. And we know she's not just talking about the concept of it (the instruments, the marching etc.). But rather the emotion; that moment where you're breathing heavy after the last note of the show, and when the audience looks at your glistening face, no one can tell where the tears end and the sweat begins.

[@jimbritt1471]

[@voador__7553]

You were saying towards the end of the video that you cant imagine the feeling of playing while performing. Well in that case Im obligated to recommend a video called “Bluecoats 2016 Trumpet Soloist Supercam” by Ben Gunnarson. It gives a very unique look into how it can look and feel while performing a show like this. I cant recommend this video enough and I catch myself watching it at least once a week.

[@wessparkmon2395]

A corps worth looking at is Star of Indiana. 1991 is one of my favorite shows of all-time and 1993 was so different than anything DCI had seen at that point.

1989 was a special year! SVG just edging out Phantom Regiment in one of the closest finals of all time. Please watch / react to Phantom Regiment 1989 “New World Symphony”. Both shows are still in my top 5 all time shows. A huge thank you for exposing the world to DCI. Much love and respect to you from the USA

I was at that performance in Arrowhead Stadium and that took people's breath away. I still cant decide who should have won that year, Scouts or SCV

The 3rd snare drummer from the right (the black snare drummer) is on my drumline now and he sucks LOL. (Just kidding). Here he is. He's the middle snare next to me. He is wearing dark blue. We're all in Missouri. His brother is on our drumline too. His brother is the taller second guy on the far left wearing red: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lZ6Xq4SapN6Egbs

A funny story, I was actually in the stands behind the corps, trying to sleep! We were leaving right after finals on a 12 hour drive home over night... ah the life of drum corps!!!
