Even though this was “just semifinals,” this was probably the most memorable experience I ever had as a fan. The crowd was going crazy, the corps staff had multiple people pumping up the crowd in the rain, the corps was hyped. It was a real moment of connection between the performers and the audience and it was transcendent. Cool show on any night, but this moment in the rain was special.

This has to be my drum break of all time. Thanks for the upload.

I miss all of you guys. Everyone did such an amazing job this night! I really hope everyone's doing well. By the way, watching this after thumbing through the top 12 of 2024.... we were such a great corps in 1997!! I'm so proud of all of us. Thank you for a wonderful age out year! - Michael Causey, Soprano 1995, 1996, Mello 1997 (age out year)

Incredible!!

thank you, to all of you who I had the pleasure of marching with, I hope all of you are doing well and having a wonderful life. we did it. we were really good. You all were really really good, and I love that about you. - Michael Causey, Soprano 1995-1996, Mellow 1997 (ageout year).

Nice and close, but not 100% accurate to what we actually played finals night.

NICE!!!! I was in the stands finals night and loved this feature from the moment I heard it.

RIP Robert. Thank you for giving me some of the best moments of my life!!!!!

Rest in piece sir. Thank you for this great music and giving a 16yr old kid a chance at playing it

The pit is WAYYYYY too loud or they probably would have placed higher!

Oh man, I remember just suddenly getting drenched during this performance. What a great time that was! 2022 Carolina Crown should have taken notes from this show on how to interact with the crowd. You don't need constant narration, just some encouragement from the drum majors, etc.

It was exactly 12 seconds! Cool

End big you know what !!

Love that show. Would've given my left n*t to march that.

Forgot how good this show was.

I really wish they were still around. I'm not too encouraged to do drum corps when i have to spend so much money and travel just to get somewhere decent. Indoor percussion is the plan for now tho i think id enjoy this more

Back in the day it was common for the crowd to be cheering throughout A perforce because that’s how l corps planned it simply by interacting with audiences drumcorps sure has changed a bit some for the better but it’s A treat to be able to go back down memory lane❤️

Such a great show. This definitely would compete in today's competition with minor tweaks.

Brings back memories. This was my age out year. 12 seconds to the moon

Best summer of my life, Semi-Final night was our best show by about 20%. Wish I'd kept in touch with more of ya'll.

Such a magical and entertaining year from Magic! Such a departure from 96. Did most of the staff remain from 96 into 97.

Awesome! You da man!

The drum major's reaction when putting on the sunglasses was priceless!

Best summer of my life.

I miss everyone from that year. So happy I marched :)

Such an awesome show/year!

4:36 uniforms and formation looks familiar

That opener was fantastic! The rain and the crowd freaking out about it made it even better.

Oh man what a great fun show! I remember being there, almost a high school senior with some of my band friends and we just went bonkers at this show. The next few corps seemed boring to me (at that time - I really like that Ben Hur show BK did!). What a contra section... that ballad is still one of my fav ballads in any corps show. Gorgeous. I miss Magic, the activity really needs a corps that had the imagination and "dare to dream" attitude that they had.

man that was a fun show!!

One of the most memorable moments of my life. Thank you for posting!
