[@Curtie99]

From a production standpoint this is one of the most well put together shows in dci history in my opinion

[@prestonjones20013]

Legitimately one of the best shows to ever touch a field. All around an incredible show Also, they did win the Gold Medal this year

[@samsignorelli]

The baritone that one "demon" threw during the pre-show was one that had been run over by one of the trucks earlier in the season (an expensive mistake). The design staff decided to incorporate it into the overall program....to good effect. The different uniform colors was a deliberate choice, but it was not the first time it'd been done in drum corps. Velvet Knights (you HAVE to watch their 1988 program!) had 2-toned unis in 93-94 (red in front, white in back...both jackets AND pants), and 1987 Sky Ryders had three different uni colors...upper and mid brass were entirely white, lower brass was entirely black (they were doing West Side Story, so the upper brass were the Jets and the lower the Sharks), and the drums in a grey that blended into the field...the drums themselves had white shells, and the effect was that the drums seemed to float around the field by themselves (BTW, Courtney....if you like the band 311, their drummer, Chad Sexton, marched that 87 Sky Ryders show in the snare line). Differing uniform colors can be used to different effects. In 11 Cadets there was a lot of merging. In 87 Sky, the different brass lines did NOT merge together except for the times where the gangs interacted directly in the original story...the dance at the gym and the rumble at the end.

[@jeffgray7922]

Velvet knights actually started the two-toned uniforms in 92, which I thought was their best year in those.

[@feverpa]

I forget which year, but SCV also marched through a tunnel and changed their pants as they marched through - one color going in, different color coming out. Mid 80s if I remember.

[@samsignorelli]

@@feverpa 85 AND 86....during the opener (Festive Overture)

[@justamaninTN]

Yeah, Cadets had the reverse uniforms for The Zone in 2005.

[@mbmaccin555555]

So glad I could request this, I know everyone was bugging for it! Super excited this is up lol Edit: yes this was a 1st place show

[@markjalbert3801]

Ha! That’s funny. I recommended this about 2 months ago. Glad to see she got to it because this show is epic! I guess it took two Marks to get it done! 😊

[@dctrbrass]

Thanks dude! W00T

[@adrianayala3692]

My band director's wife marched this year and said the instrument thrown onto the field (1:25) was accidentally run over in a parking lot, and somehow it made it into the show 😄

[@jwillis35]

A true masterpiece of a DCI show by The Cadets! Hope they can recover from recent issues and finances and get back to this level because this quality of drum corps is something we can all love no matter who you root for. Magnificent show design!

[@burdrchitect1680]

Yes! A masterpiece Cadets show. I haven't watched this since 2011. Such a great show!

[@stinkysofiaaaa]

can we just talk about these chords 😳

[@daniel_robertson]

Jay Bocook ftw

[@dctrbrass]

That Maj7 chord at the end of the first mvmt tho :)

[@scotthammonds1873]

Absolutely one of the best shows I've ever seen in DCI! The Cadets are always a favorite of mine and I hate that we won't see them again.

[@aubreyricher9827]

been waiting for this one! lol. The dual uniforms just made the show so visually complex, and my dad all year being the percussionist he is was so envious of their drumline and how clean they were. And yes, the cadets were the champions of 2011. 2011 was such a fun year for shows, just so many great ones that year.

[@ZakhadWOW]

between this and the impact of Juliet (Phantom Regiment) I was truly blessed that both corps came out to Salt Lake CIty that year. It's very rare to have an Eastern and Midwestern corps out touring the far west together. Even more rare to ever have a show at Univ. of Utah Stadium.. normally held up in Ogden 35 miles north.

[@MrJacobtc]

I was literally watching this show today a couple hours ago thinking “when will Courtney react to this?” One of my favorites

[@wordsmithpiko1784]

Still gives me chills, this was an extremely well-designed show and for the longest time a favorite of mine. It was a great blend of old and new school and a sign of what was to come as far as the "uniform" game was going.

[@willrobinson1482]

Also yes The Cadets came in first place that year, thats the last time they have. It's been a hot minute for them, hoping they win again soon tbh

[@chrishanks9261]

As an alumni I hope so too!

[@scottlawson1522]

Would love to see the Cadets back on top. I LOVE the George Hopkins style shows, it’s a shame how it all went down. Hope they find their element and get back up there.

[@highstimulation2497]

as do I

[@justamaninTN]

Every now and then a show will come along where everything just works. Show concept is awesome. It’s well designed. It’s well executed. It’s the clear crowd favorite (which is saying something because 2011 was an amazing year for Drum Corps). Phantom 2008, Crown 2013, Blue Devils 2017 and this show right here immediately come to mind. I don’t necessarily think this is one of the greatest shows of all time or a show that pushed the activity to new heights (which the Cadets have done many times before like in 2005), but it is just so cool and absolutely deserved the Gold Medal. RIP Cadets. FHNSAB.

[@EvanYoungMusic]

I teach with a lot of these people who were in this corps. I marched the year after in Cadets2. So quick story about the baritone that was thrown in the air... In 2011, after a rehearsal, a kid left a baritone on the ground and a truck ran over it by mistake. After that happened, the baritone teacher picks up the baritone and instead of being angry, he chucked it as far as he could. That's how that was visual born.

[@ratmause]

Angels In the Architecture is the song they played the most. I played it a few years back. Its a really beautiful and fun song to listen/play. The Cadets did get 1st this year.

[@CDev15]

6:10 is one of my favorite parts of the show. The music is called “160 BPM” by Hans Zimmer and it was written for the movie Angels and Demons. It’s an awesome piece

[@geminiguy2001]

Pablo Villasenor. Do you know the titles and composers of the other musical selections in this show? I agree with your take on "60 BPM". Great music.

[@CDev15]

I know the opener is Angels in the Architecture by Frank Ticheli, then they later play Doxology by Loys Bourgeois and Amazing Grace by William Walker

[@geminiguy2001]

Pablo Villasenor Thank you. That’s just what I wanted to know.

[@EdrickBloodbane19]

That 7/8 time was so smooth I remember having to march that back in the day it was hard to learn at first

[@kennethschechter352]

this shows idea and concept for the 1st movement is based off of Frank Ticheli’s Angels in the Architecture. Really amazing piece, you should listen to how they incorporated it.

[@tuttiflooti]

She just did

[@kennethschechter352]

Elijah Fowler i meant the original piece...sorry i can see why you were confused, i didn’t word it good, my bad

[@tuttiflooti]

@@kennethschechter352 nah i was just being a dick. My bad for that. But if she's going to be reacting to the pieces that make DCI, then she would have to start reacting to several videos in one sitting; and that's a lot of band (11-12 minute show followed by the 4-6, 2-30 minute songs that made up the show.

[@gregmax1321]

if i'm not mistaken, something you might not have caught that in that drum duel, the parts splits closer and closer until they're playing opposite 16ths of each other, like individual hits opposite of each other, and like most cadet faster pieces this one is closer to 200 if not over. insanely hard and insanely good performances all around, but this feature at the time was nuts.

[@hollygeier1598]

My daughter actually marched this program in 2011! It was a dream come true for us to see as a family!

[@hollygeier1598]

The Cadets took the World Championships with this program.

[@highstimulation2497]

love that in this era, you can hear the pit so so clearly.

[@dannyspoonamore4914]

You know what's the saddest part of all of this? I have nearly 40 years invested in this activity as a fan and participant, and the odds that it will survive this hellhole of a virus is probably 50% at best, and you may never get to see it live. It pains me beyond measure to know that this may happen to what I consider the greatest activity---all around---I have ever witnessed. Cadets from the beginning were what got me into this activity (Rocky Point Holiday '83 and West Side Story '84), and I consider this to be one of their best shows ever. They and the rest of this activity may never be the same.

[@nikl423]

While we still don’t know how likely it is we will get a DCI 2021 season, I’m still optimistic that drum corps will continue after this whole virus. From what I’ve seen, drum corps fans, alumni, and corps members have shown so much support for the corps they love and I truly don’t think this is the end of dci.

[@dannyspoonamore4914]

@@nikl423 It's not the corps or Drum Corps in general I'm worried about, it's the administrators of the housing and venues that are going to determine it's fate.

[@tellingtruthexperiencingli9355]

I think 50% is a charitable estimate. With so much of the country in economic ruin right now, DCI should be a low priority for most to support. To say it plainly, the activity has simply become too expensive to participate in. It has in many ways become an activity for the financially well off where individuals are being charged multiple thousands dollars to march and shows are now into the millions of dollars to produce and perform. I can only speak for myself, but I have little reason to keep following this activity any more. I have not watched a complete show since 2017 and find no more appetite for the activity.

[@dannyspoonamore4914]

@@tellingtruthexperiencingli9355 I disagree with this assessment. I did a breakdown of the costs associated with drum corps and compared it to if a student just did nothing for the summer. The food and boarding alone nearly cost the same as what the member has to pay for in dues. In reality, dues only pay for about a third of the cost, the rest is picked up by the benefactors to the corps. I then did an estimate of what other similar youth activity would cost, and the actual costs if they charged what they should have would be in the 15 to 20K range. Drum corps is a MASSIVE value for what you get when you compare it to other youth activities. I do DCA, weekend only, very limited, and I know I spend at minimum an extra 2.5K a year doing it. Not much less than a full time corps.

[@tellingtruthexperiencingli9355]

@@dannyspoonamore4914, I appreciate your analysis and find it wanting. There are some presuppositions in the data. First, in a time of national crisis as we find ourselves in now, there is little financial justification in spending three grand on extracurricular activities such as drum corps. Many Americans are out of work and when money is tight, it is wise to make targeted decisions on what to spend income. I personally will not have my child(ren) at home during the summer doing nothing. If they can work, they will and the money they accumulate will be used for necessities before entertainment. Our differing opinions are one of perspective. I no longer find significant benefit from drum corps and perceive it as an optional expense like any other. I can find more productive things for people to do during the summer.

[@highstimulation2497]

hahaha! at 6:21, the melody is a version of the 'dies irae' theme (it can be heard as well in many films, including star wars when luke sees uncle owen and aunt beru for the last time, and in lord of the rings in early scenes with the ringwraiths, and in berlioz symphonie fantastique, 5th movement.)

[@EvOxMaKoTo]

My college marching percussion director was a timpanist in this show (also in 2012). He had a really great feedback from a percussion judge at the end of the ballad. He's an awesome percussionist!!

[@daniel_robertson]

Taylor is a champ

[@billn911]

We'll need to get you some "friends of DCI" seating in 2022. Those seats are front and center!

[@TealTrump11]

So glad that you got to this one! The Cadets did win with this show. It is a amazing and masterful production. I marched Teal Sound that summer and since we were a lower placing corps, we got to see all the top corps perform many time throughout the summer. I got lucky on finals Night because a DCI Executive gave me tickets to some really good seats near the center. Any time you hear loud whistling in at the end of shows from 2011, that's me.

[@imuawarriors]

I saw this show in person.... stunning... one of my favorites!

[@The46845]

If you do plan on coming in 2022 ticketing can kind of be a complicated thing. I recommend buying from individual corps websites rather than purchasing them from DCI. They tend to have better seats available and they don't sell out instantly as DCI's website does. Phantom Regiment usually has really good options. I also recommend sitting as close to the 40 or 50-yard line as possible to get the best experience.

[@LKFT111]

What the demons play at 9:53 sounds a lot like a diminished (I don't know if that's the correct musical term) version of the famous Christian hymnal, "Praise Him, From Whom All Blessings Flow." That's such a creative element!

[@Rufus6540]

[@RyanBoots]

Little tidbit I heard about the 2011 Cadets (if I'm wrong about this, I'm sure somebody will correct me): they lost a member of the snare line midseason to an injury, and due to the nature of the show design and the drum book - particularly the massive drum break in the second movement - it wasn't as simple as rewriting some drill to close a hole. They either needed to recruit a new member to fill the hole or ask a member of the existing to move to a new spot. The members talked about it, and decided to stick with their existing lineup - which meant that a member of the Angels line moved over to the Demons line, learned an entirely new spot and new music. Exceptionally challenging midseason move, but they pulled it off.

[@daniel_robertson]

Yep. There’s a few unsung heroes like them that really put in the work this summer to make it happen

[@jck1794]

[@BRUXXUS]

Ooh! I remember seeing the list of songs they were using when they announced this show and telling my friend, "they're going to win this season". It's kinda.... a little cheesy looking back on it now, but that was/is kind of the Cadets style. Edit: Upon watching this again with you, it felt a little less cheesy than I remembered. I think this camera edit is a little less focused on the individual 'characters' than the last one I watched which let you see how it all fit together so well. And man oh man... that drill. Cadets can always get into a company front within half a second, no matter what. And I love it!
