Pete Donaldson What did he play? The name sounds familiar, but I think he marched the year prior in ‘95.

[@justinnewberry3900]

Daiki Karatsuma Hello!

[@pete6099]

He played sopranl . He may have marched year before but I'm pretty sure he marched '96 too or may have been 97. He then went out for a few years (for the last few weeks of tours) as a soprano tech.

[@reynolds727]

I competed against this show all summer in 96. It was always a chore to follow these guys. The audience was absolutely spent. All the babies were already thrown! I have to say, this is one of my all-time favorite drum corps shows of any era. They just grabbed you by the short hairs and shook like a rabid dog for the entire duration. They were loud as all creation and so exciting. What a group!

Zach B 8 tenors was by design, 7 snares was because we lost one before the season. Show was originally designed for 6 bass, 8 tenor, 8 snare, 4 cymbal. That horn book was killer and we carried 7 lead sopranos for that show. 3 soprano parts. I was one of the 7 lead sopranos.

[@cghothands]

This was definitely an odd lineup for them during the Jeff Moore era. They typically ran 6 tenors, 10 snares, and 6 basses.

Unfortunately it was only five basses after the opener. Poor guy on top bust his head at the end of the opener. How do I know? I was right behind him on drum two. But yes, there 6 basses on the field.

2 things I remembered about this show. The soprano soloist and the 8 man tenor line in the Drumline. Very rare to have the many, especially when they outnumber the snare line.

[@wwjlotdd]

yeah. was supposed to be 8/8/6, but snare 8 flaked in like... may or june, and they ended up just going with it. i miss 6-bass Scouts basslines... they mirror the super-high brass arrangements so well, without losing the beef at the low end... but i'm nearing an old man complaint about the way everyone tunes 'em these days... and i don't even have a lawn anymore.... ;)

[@supersop]

Courtney Picking up on Coolness Factor ... ::CHECK:: Using the term Soprano Properly ....... ::CHECK:: 96 Part Dos - is a great show in the Madison Scouts history. I personally wasn't a fan of Bolero in this show. It kind of stunted the pacing of the program. Malaguena is always a Scouts classic (hard to beat 1988 version... but who cares?). The "Dream" in this show ( for me ) is Arturro Sandoval's - A Mis Abuelos (the opener). Probably one of the top 5 hardest "Spanish/Latin" charts in DCI history. Obviously, the soloist is a monster. Well done brother! Scott Boerma's style of arranging brass for Scouts always amazed me. It was my honor to play his charts and be taught by him. I just want to point out that the general fan often goes earblind (yeah I'm making this up) to the range of the Soprano and Baritone book. You have to have 20+ stone cold killer sops to play a Boerma book. Almost all of your notes are so high above the staff that the general listener gets used to it as a "NORMAL" range ... IT'S NOT!!! Those dudes are screaming high notes the entire show.....as a section ...... AS A SECTION!!!! IN TUNE ON G BUGLES. Bust out a keyboard or a trumpet and transpose the notes you hear ..... you'll come to understand and hopefully appreciate the Scouts Brass Books of 89-06 and WHY they have so much sizzle and fire.

[@oldsopplaya]

I agree about Bolero. When I was a young arranger someone asked me why drum corps always played so high. That is because the horns had a piston and a rotor or two valves. The lower range was not available. I don't think it was unique to Madison but you definitely had to have skills to make this stuff shriek.

[@justinnewberry3900]

We had 7 leads in ‘96. I was one of them and yes, that entire book spent a lot of the show above the staff. I believe the most common note we played in the lead book was an F# above the staff for the entire show. We had double Bb’s and double C’s written in the music. I still have the original charts 24 years later. I believe I still have an original lead chart for El Toro Caliente from ‘95, as well.

[@supersop]

@@justinnewberry3900 7 leads or 7 Upper Split leads?

[@justinnewberry3900]

[@shadowbanned2596]

Legendary sop line, glad I got to see it. Scouts have always been underrated. That is dci, it’s not supposed to be an orchestra, but unfortunately the judges are classical guys. Power and ballsy solos that we remember for our lives. That’s why Scouts will always be fan favorites, and burned unjustly by judges.

[@drumlord8772]

Fun thing to always look for in older/classic Madison Scouts shows is the very very end when the drumline plays what has come to be known as "Please Stand Up." Which very often, the audience would oblige.

[@ProudPapaJD]

Very often? Try always! The beat at the end goes Please Stand Please Stand Please Stand UP! The only problem is everyone is already on their feet by then, usually for the last 30-60 seconds of the show. Unfortunately I cannot repeat what we yelled AFTER the please stand up beats. It’s a secret only for members, and the crowd is always so loud no one has ever heard it even though we scream it as loud as we can.

[@waynestephens6505]

Love this show! I have it in my collection. I marched in 1975 and 1976 with Guardsmen from the Chicago suburbs. There were several nice corps in the Midwest USA. I marched against them several times.

One of the all time great drum corps shows. Def one of my faves. They were just absolutely on fire that year

[@JonathanLawson]

I don't know if anyone said this previously already but prior to 2000, when the horns were still all keyed in G, Trumpets were Sopranos, Mellophones were Altos (Or mellos depending on the corps, the terms were interchangeable as far as I remember), Baritones and Euphoniums were both called Baritones (Depended on the Corps) and Tubas were Contrabasses. Once DCI allowed any key for horns starting in 2000, everything fell in line with mainstream Bb and F horns, so it became Trumpets, Mellos, Baris (or Euphs), and Tubas. Someone might have already mentioned this, so sorry if I'm overexplaining. Also this show RULES.

It made me smile that she's starting to use drum corps terms right. This was a great show but definitely not 1995. Every corps has an identity, the 90s scouts were badass balls to the wall shows. The Madison Scouts always write shows that audiences want to see. Some corps write shows specifically to get points with the judges and completely miss with the crowd(2008-2013 Blue devils). In either '09 or '10 the Scouts design team actually told the judges they don't care what they think, they are just going for audience entertainment. Judges didn't exactly like that and took the corps a few years to climb out of that hole. MYNWA

[@justinnewberry3900]

greggsovereasy That was actually ‘95. The staff was going to critique after shows and hearing the judges comments and they just didn’t feel like the judges were “getting it” and that’s where the disconnect began. I don’t know if any of the staff attended critique the entire ‘96 season or any time after that under Scott Stewart’s direction.

This was the first DCI show I ever heard! Before I knew anything about DCI and before seeing the video, I thought the horn line playing backfield sounded like violins during "Bolero".

[@ejtaylor73]

1996 was A Drum Corps Fans Dream part 2, 1995 was A Drum Corps Fans Dream part 1, both are equally amazing. I agree with you on the Latin music, it's definitely made for Drum Corps, the power and energy with it really gets your heart pumping. The Blue Devils played mostly this style music early on in their years. There are lots of "A Day in the Life" of Drum Corps videos, they'll definitely give you a new perspective on what these musicians go through to be able to get out there and give their audiences the best performances they can. There are also videos that talk about scoring too.

[@Rocamurderface187]

I marched in DCI way back in the day on the drum line. I miss it so much

[@oldsopplaya]

Yes, they were sopranos. I sent this because there was a lot of cool soprano stuff which I think Latin music needs. They came in 6th and if you remember, this is the year that Blue Devils and Phantom Regiment came in with a tie for first, Madison is usually in your face exciting. I can see why they came in 6th but Madison is ALWAYS fun. Madison had no time to do the complete versions of both Bolero and Malaguena and that left me a little disappointed but I am VERY critical, to be sure. Why criticize something that has moments of intense excitement? lol

[@oldsopplaya]

When I sent this video, I said I thought that "Bolero" slowed the show down. In watching your reaction, I saw you go kinda numb so I think you agree. It is not a drum corps melody.

Courtney, did you happen to take note of the fact that in this era, the drums were still carried, whether snare or quad, rather than in "the pit"? By the way, have you learned yet that they started out decades ago as a Boy Scout troop, which is why the Scout resembling uniforms. At 5:00 was some of the song Bolero, which was worth a gold medal to the UK ice dancing duo Torval and Dean at the Lillehammer, Norway Olympics back in 1994. Then, at around 9:00, it was Malaguena (ma-la-GWAIN-yah), which started out decades ago as a classical guitar number.

[@jimgreen5788]

One you should look up is from way back in 1976, when the Blue Devils played many of the popular songs of that era by Chuck Mangione (man-zhee-OWN-ee), including Legend of the 1-eyed Sailor.

You’re right, those are key of G Soprano Bugles

[@danieldunlap4077]

Apparently this was an all male drum corp until recently. They now accept women.

[@wwjlotdd]

yup. was founded out of a boy scout troop in 1938, and was one of the last two to hold onto the tradition. this was going to be their first year as a co-ed corps... and as an old man who still wants every show to look and sound like this one, on g-bugles.... i'm so excited for them and proud to be an alum... let's hope they get to do it for real in 2021!

[@americanspirit8932]

That's what a real drum and bugle Corps looks and sounds like, Standing Ovation after standing ovation. Not like the marching bands of today

[@trojanboy88]

Unrelated to the show, but the hook on the wall off to your upper left side had me thinking there was something on my screen and tried to scratch it off lmao

[@tankblack6758]

oops, you did know. Ignore moi.

[@TravisCyprien]

That was the final year of Madison Scouts using G-Bugles. From 1997 on up to now they are using B-Flat Trumpets. G-Bugles pack a punch with the large front bell!

[@Miyamotospoop13]

Madison scouts actually switched to B flat trumpets in 2001. Blue devils and cadets were the first corps to switch from g horns in 2000

[@Iliketordles]

@@Miyamotospoop13 You're both wrong...Scouts were on G bugles until 2004 when they switched. Also, Bb instruments weren't even legal in DCI until 2000...

[@RatSlayerGaming]

iliketordles this is the right answer. 03 was the last time Madison used g bugles

[@andrewholifield2405]

Bb instruments were not even legal to use until 2000, when only BD and The Cadets switched over. As said already 2003 was the last G Scouts hornline.
