No amplification, no electronics, two valves, no massive props that take up the whole field. Just a damn drum corps playing lights out. Love this era of corps.

@@johns3106 you can appreciate and respect both old school drum corps and modern, it's not a choose a side kind of thing. I love old school drum corps, but I also really love modern drum corps. Just because they're different doesn't mean we have to shit on either one.

I first saw this performance on my local PBS station one thanksgiving. I was flipping out because I’d been in Canton Ohio visiting family that summer! And I’d attended their Go Cart Derby fund raiser. I love how they have they always maintain the sonic energy of their horn line from season to season. BLUUUUUUUUE!!!!!!!💙💙💙💙💙

Listen to the Long Island sun rises in 1965 at Mission drums in Boston Sing Sing Sing you'll hear drumming from Billy Cobham one of the top jazz drummers ever in the world Billy Hightower on baritone you'll hear him as well as Frank died already and Frank diliberto playing soprano solos then listen to the crowd about 35-40 50,000 I don't remember it was a great year it was the best I think it was the best Sing Sing Sing played by any Drum Corps in the activity in history

It reminds me more of these massive college or university marching bands. Just FFF it and if it is not loud enough, then just go even more louder. No "skills", just as loud as possible...
@johns31064 жыл бұрын
@Skatje Well....I certainly wouldn't call this a lack of "skills"...there are plenty of examples of a good dynamic range and subtle playing in this show...but, there is nothing like a good G bugle line to blow your face off when necessary!

Say what you will about today's drum corps, but this era of DCI was lacking in its own ways too. Visual technique is basically non-existent here. Tempos are VERY slow compared to today's DCI. And the visual demands you see today aren't present here either. That being said this is a pretty clean show and the brass sounds great. Change is not always bad, and its not always good either. But change is destined to happen with or without you

Today DCI should just drop DCI from their name. It's no longer drum corp.
@taflhols2789 ай бұрын
Shows of that era are much more visually appealing than the cheese on the field now. As for tempos...it's not a race. I watch a few shows a year these days and am always disappointed with the shows.

@ZG2303 Never. But I can tell time, which is all it takes to see what I wrote is correct. That said, I think I wrote this before they added the "Hey Jude" ending, so it's possible that the 2019 show did have more simultaneous marching and playing that the opening of the 1989 show (but still nowhere near as much as the whole 1989 show).
