what make this even more awesome is that my high school band instructor was in the snare line for this. He used to play with the scouts in their glory days...great teacher too!
Goosebumps all over! This rendition is about as close the the 1981 version as it gets. I thought the Scouts were going to win in '81 (I was surprised that they didn't.) Thanks for posting this. John Steaveson 1981 SCV Lead Soprano
Yeah no. Drum corps are only comparable to marching bands if you jacked them up on steroids and turned them into precision machines. Once you've marched corps, you can't compare the two anymore- especially compared against high school programs. Thanks for putting this vid up. Always fun to see alumni corps perform. Scouts 95 still holds a spot in my heart as one of the best drum corps shows of all time.
@who8mahbacon I'm not really sure but I guess if I was just to guess I would say just so other up and coming talent gets a chance at DCI and it is physically quite demanding but 21 still wouldn't make sense for that because people could still do it quite a few years later and still be fine physically...I'd have to go with the former guess. Something I should look into now that you mention it!
because it's people who were previously in the scouts, like back in the early 80's...once you are older than 21 you can't be in dci drum corps anymore...

Madison owns Malaguenea. Wish I was there.
The reason I joined drum corps in the 80's!!! Split your face wall of sound.
My Band Played This peice last year ( I had a trumbone Feature!) along with aztec gold and Prayer
I can't even imagine how intense that was.

I wish they played Strawberry Soup

Drum Corps the way it should be (and sadly isn't anymore)
Would have loved to hear all the stuff those sop's hit on that last solo part. Tempo was kinda slow for those old farts!
DUDE GET A CLUE!!! this is NOT marching band. It is Drum Corps!!!
