This is what I call desecration of my beloved activity. And, what I call BULLS%$&!!!! I AM AS CLOSE TO HATING THAT PUNKA%$ DUDE CANNON! He's a shi$% show and a sh$%head!!
Presenting your 2013 DCI World Champions!!! From Fort Mill, South Carolina!!!...... Drum Corps International is proud to present Carolina Crown!!!!!!!!!
Chill out guys! Explain this. When a 7 year old child, who has absolutely NO idea what a drum corps is, asks you to give a brief explanation of what is a drum corps. How can they understand anything other than a professional marching band. Carolina Crown has even called themselves the purple pants BAND!!! drum corps is just an exalted, much more interesting, and much more difficult version of marching band, but without woodwinds, trombone, and sousaphones. I'm a diehard DCI/DCA fan as well as most of you, who even has plans to march drum corps, but I don't get mad when people call it marching band. SHUT UP AND HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
to clarify... Carolina Crown in not a marching band, in fact, their full name is Carolina Crown drum and bugle corps, which also explains what they are, a Drum and bugle Corps, is similar to a marching band, but only allows brass instruments in their wind and is incredibly competitive, along with all Drum Corps. check out the Drum Corps International RUclips Channel for more on Drum Corps.
I will disagree 'til my dying day. I marched drum corps from 1990 to 1995. I was the lead trumpet (soprano), solist and horn captain for my hornline. I was one of the best of the best. Participated in the camps of Star of Indiana in 1993. Knew Matt Harloff, who is now the horn tech for Crown. I participated in band while in high school and drum corps snd there is a distinct difference. That disgusting troll named Nick Cannon started some of this doo doo rhetoric about band which is a lie. My horn instructor came out of a band far greater than mine and we went to the same High School nearly 30 years apart!!! But he, like I, participated in something for greater: drum corps. Drum corps is military style and military grade. It is quite different and was more regimented. Things have evolved and the activity is more complicated now, BUT IT IS NOT BAND!! And you can't pay me enough money to have me to call it otherwise!!!! Drum Corps is one of the greatest marching activities you can participate in as a youth. Band? Not. There IS a major difference. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. 🎺
they looked so perfect in front of the castle....the color really works..and to think I was cringing when I first saw their uniforms last June at the Southwest competition in Arizona.
I think Neil Patrick Harris should be the announcer for DCI should Brandt Crocker have to leave the scene one day. His introduction was just as amazing as the corps!
Well Looking at it this way, "Can you compare a person that just sings every now or then that may join a group but never really takes the time to go out of their way for singing, to a professional/college voice major singer whose entire focus in life is music and voice" there's a different level of passion and respect. Drum Corps is a place for someone that wants more, someone who is willing to spend thousands of dollars, spend every last drop of energy and to keep going when there is no more, to give up other opportunities (seeing family, friends, school, relaxing for the summer) and to build ourselves into everything that we need to be for that show. The frustration is understandable. I love Marching Band. It's fun and energetic, there is a respect behind it. There is a level of demand, but nothing like we have to live up to in drum corps, most MB I've been with the people are there to socialize or won't make great sacrifices for it. Your average Marching Band season is nothing like your average Drum Corps season. Some people get butthurt when you say MB instead of DC cause its like throwing out the respect of all the hard demands we make. However we have to remember reality. Jordan Mankus and Brandon Kassab have points. Most people don't even know what Drum Corps is. The activity did evolve from marching band. I'm sure most average people could think tuba is the same thing as flute. lol We should be glad that a great group has gotten National Attention, we need more of it if we want this activity to survive. Crown did a great job representing and we shouldn't let a comment (we would only have an opinion on) take away from that.
Alright people. You are getting mad over something that cannot be fixed and it wasn't that bad because the amazing Neil Patrick Harris corrected it 3 seconds afterwards. At the end of the day, Crown rocked this parade. They're not even mad. That got the fuck on with their lives and are now preparing for their 2014 season. CTFO!
Crown has gotten some great PR for the activity by performing in the Disney Parade. Please don't ruin the positive exposure for others by being hung up on the term "marching band". That's an ugly way to portray our community. We as DCI fans are SO much better than that.
Does anyone know the reason for crown doing this? And why don't corps do this more often. I would guess since they won that year that they were doing some after season thing for anyone who wanted to but I would like to be sure
They could do a little research. You know. To find out that calling a corps a Marching Band is a big Taboo in the DCI world. But that would require intelligence. Too bad that we have to let this mar Carolina Crown's awesome performance. Good job, friends.
It's not really a big taboo in the dci world. Cavaliers jokingly calls themselves a marching band, every corps does. You should realize that we are marching bands. We're a band that happens to march. Every drum corps is a marching band, not every marching band is a drum corps. Don't speak on behalf of DCI, when what you said is untrue.
Everyone's going so crazy over what he said, just focus on Crown's sound. Yeah Nick was wrong, he's a little ignorant, that's all lol. Neil said it right.
For some reason I could not reply to your post BandNerdcp: I've been a "DRUM CORP" Fan for about 30 years now. From the age of 14 I knew the difference from a drum corp and a marching band. Like anything in life now, if you say something that is wrong or stupid your going to take some heat for it. He's probably reading from a prompt so someone at the network should be at blame here for making him look like a Pompous!
All drum corps are marching bands, not all marching bands are drum corps. While yes, drum corps is 2000x harder than marching band (trust me I know from experience) at its core it is still just marching band. So stop fangirling and get over it
It seems that they give these pop "musicians" longer on the camera....a group of musicians gets a short time. At least they sounded great. Nick Cannon has his head up this screwed up "music" industry's butt. Of course he doesn't know what drum corps is. I don't blame him....he doesn't understand.
Guys, get over the "marching band" vs "drum corps" hang up. When the bugles were ditched and electronics/singing/speakers added, over-props cluttered the fields, DCI became a marching band organization. Whether it's good or bad is relative, but it's a fact. Don't make wholesale changes, then whine when someone points out the distinctions. smh.
Yeah the giy is right dont gwt salty on the giy he probably didn't know and it maybe his first time hearing about DCI so instead of making him sound like he's stupid enlighten him about it
Sorry about the long comment, but I'd rather just say it all then allow everyone to have souring arguments for marching titles. Plus Neil Patrick Harris seemed to represent well ;)
All that rehearsal time they put in to get just over a minute of TV coverage. Feels like a rip off. Oh well...it was good to see the purple pants one more time before they get retired.
every time drum corps gets mainstream media attention it always ends up cringe like this I hate it lol. Reminds me of the tv show they made a couple years ago that ended up just being a bunch of reality type drama and barely about drum corps as a whole
Drum Corps is marching band guys, get over it. Im a 2 year drum corps vet and still call it marching band. Bottom line is the general public isnt gonna know what drum corps is, they know what a marching band it. and nick cannon was probably just reading cards telling him what to say anyway. get over it
I agree with you. Nick has to read what they are putting on the Teller promps. I can tell from some of what Nick says during the parade that its just stupid that they come up with lame sentences. Its just following what Disney wants.
No I definitely do refer to it as "just marching band", and so do people that I march with. The fans care more about what its called than the people who march
Matt Durst And I see you marched scouts, we did an encore together in Lawrence, we played youll never walk alone which none of us knew, then we played conquest where one of your trumpets missed a conquest shot. Fun encore though, glad you guys came out.
Lol one of your own also missed the conquest shots as well. I wish dci would do more of those combined encores... totally fun. Im marching with crown this year.
Drum Corps. Drum Line. Band. Wind Band. Marching Band. what not a Brass & Drum Corps? well, what about the color guard. Brass, Drum and Color Corps. yeah. just be glad anyone pays attention to what you do. you'll get that point very clearly when you get over your testosterone period. (like, 35+).
It's so sad they spent their time and money to fly to Florida just to get just to get less than a minute of film. You can do better than this Disney. SMH
Come on guys, at least Neil Patrick Harris announced them correctly, I wish that could happen for my HS marching band.
Is it necessary to add in cheering noises?
It is COMPLETELY unnecessary!
Thinking the same thing. It was so obvious, it was cringe worthy.
If you see NPH and Nick Cannon you should expect things to be fake.
This is what I call desecration of my beloved activity. And, what I call BULLS%$&!!!! I AM AS CLOSE TO HATING THAT PUNKA%$ DUDE CANNON! He's a shi$% show and a sh$%head!!
I marched drum corps for 4 years. Upon extensive observation--- it's still a band.
I appreciate Cavies so much lol
Nope. It’s a drum corps.
Presenting your 2013 DCI World Champions!!! From Fort Mill, South Carolina!!!...... Drum Corps International is proud to present Carolina Crown!!!!!!!!!
Nick Cannon: "...an award winning marching band" 😟 my heart

Lol BD 2019 had both sousas and bones
Ooooh he said band. No wonder why he got kicked out of the drumline.
One band, one sound!
to clarify...
Carolina Crown in not a marching band, in fact, their full name is Carolina Crown drum and bugle corps, which also explains what they are, a Drum and bugle Corps, is similar to a marching band, but only allows brass instruments in their wind and is incredibly competitive, along with all Drum Corps.
check out the Drum Corps International RUclips Channel for more on Drum Corps.
I've been doing this activity for three years and when it comes down to it, it's just band and that's perfectly fine.
I will disagree 'til my dying day. I marched drum corps from 1990 to 1995. I was the lead trumpet (soprano), solist and horn captain for my hornline. I was one of the best of the best.

Where the fuck was I when this happened I love the Carolina crown I am disappointed im myself
Cadets 2012 called, they want their Christmas music BACK XD....sorry...I had too....
Couldn't leave out a single advertisement could ya Disney? Haha. Great show as always Crown!
*Mother "Hey, one of your marching bands is on"
*Me "OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG"
they looked so perfect in front of the castle....the color really works..and to think I was cringing when I first saw their uniforms last June at the Southwest competition in Arizona.
Love my first drum corps ever. Keep it up guys.
Remember when Nick Cannon was in that movie Drumline...what a marching band.
Damn it was great to see those uniforms on live television. :3
It wasn't live. It was taped two weeks ago. But it was good to see them on and they sounded great.
The words "Drum Corps International" left Neil's mouth. Oh my.
I'm bothered that he called it marching band like....wtf
I just yelled at my computer saying it's not a marching band
I'm bothered that people still give a crap about this silly argument.
I'm bothered that you're bothered
WOW YOUR IN DRUM CORPS? WHAT KIND OF DRUMS DO YOU PLAY?! Lol
If I had a nickel for every time I heard this I would be able to pay for tour fees until I ageout
too true
I know it’s been 7 years... But it’s you’re not your😂😅
The closest Nick Cannon ever came to clean beats
Why’d they add crowd sounds so loud?
I think Neil Patrick Harris should be the announcer for DCI should Brandt Crocker have to leave the scene one day. His introduction was just as amazing as the corps!
very nice!! loved it! great job!
"Award winning marching band" the most overused phrase in parades. EVERY BAND WINS AWARDS...I think
Participation trophies. lol
Also, if (god forbid) the day ever comes that Brent Crocker ever retires, I vote that NPH be his official replacement.
LOVE THIS!!
:D looks like the crowd loved it :D how can you not?
Nick Cannon! It's Drum Corps! Calling it a marching band is a sin!
Awesome congratulations
Amazing rifle line!!!
"Lets welcome the Flam and Diddle Band International (#FDBI) 2013 World Champion.... THE PURPLE PANTS BAND!"

Oooooo Nick Canon said Marching Band, oooooo, thats bad. No no no. Its Drum Corp!!!!
ANYWAY ! That was a Bitchen Bad ass performance !
Wow, it may only be like a minute of show but I think crown should have made a christmas field show over cadets!
Alright people. You are getting mad over something that cannot be fixed and it wasn't that bad because the amazing Neil Patrick Harris corrected it 3 seconds afterwards. At the end of the day, Crown rocked this parade. They're not even mad. That got the fuck on with their lives and are now preparing for their 2014 season. CTFO!
I know this is from a few years ago but am I the only one who noticed the phantom quint player? Some shots theres 3 quints, other shots they are 2...?
Crown has gotten some great PR for the activity by performing in the Disney Parade. Please don't ruin the positive exposure for others by being hung up on the term "marching band". That's an ugly way to portray our community. We as DCI fans are SO much better than that.
The Only Thing My Grandma Said About This Is That She Hated The Purple Pants
"Award winning MaRcHiNg BaNd"
Wow that band was really good. What league did they win?
Drum Corps International (DCI), its pretty much the major league of marching band
Did you see my profile pic?
“Award winning marching MarChiNG bANd”
Jaylen Smith LMAOOO
I can't be the only one who got annoyed at the constant artificial "crowd going nuts" noise all throughout Crown's playing. Really Disney? Really?
Ugh they are a asking! Loved their rifle
Does anyone know the reason for crown doing this? And why don't corps do this more often. I would guess since they won that year that they were doing some after season thing for anyone who wanted to but I would like to be sure

Every drum corps is a marching band, not every marching band is a drum corps. Don't speak on behalf of DCI, when what you said is untrue.
I think the outrage in this comment section is enough to prove otherwise. As you said, we "jokingly" do it. Mr. Cannon here was doing it seriously.
Brian Nguyen
Awesome last name, BTW.
Everyone's going so crazy over what he said, just focus on Crown's sound. Yeah Nick was wrong, he's a little ignorant, that's all lol. Neil said it right.
wow
This is my favorite marching band. Best middle school marching band ever.
uh what?
Briston Hatchell Bugle Corp*
Btw why don't you people stop ragging on Nick Cannon's terminology and ENJOY CAROLINA CROWN'S PERFORMANCE?! THEY DID GREAT!!!!
5 seconds in and a stab to the balls
They are not in highschool!
Can barely hear what they are playing over the canned audience
For some reason I could not reply to your post BandNerdcp: I've been a "DRUM CORP" Fan for about 30 years now. From the age of 14 I knew the difference from a drum corp and a marching band.

Are they not a band that marches? I agree that "marching band" isn't the right term, come on, how else do you expect a non DCI fan to describe it?
i guess DCI and marching are the same thing. just DCI is completley diffrent and 50x harder . but meh you can call if marchng band if you want
All drum corps are marching bands, not all marching bands are drum corps. While yes, drum corps is 2000x harder than marching band (trust me I know from experience) at its core it is still just marching band. So stop fangirling and get over it

damn guys nick cannon doesn't know anything drum corps it's okay calm down he's not an idiot he just doesn't know jfc
lol that fake cheering
Drum & Bugle Corps .............even though DCI is turning it into Drum & Bd Bugle BAND !
Guys, get over the "marching band" vs "drum corps" hang up. When the bugles were ditched and electronics/singing/speakers added, over-props cluttered the fields, DCI became a marching band organization. Whether it's good or bad is relative, but it's a fact.

Yeah the giy is right dont gwt salty on the giy he probably didn't know and it maybe his first time hearing about DCI so instead of making him sound like he's stupid enlighten him about it
Guys... DCI is Major League Marching Band.... Chill out..
Sorry about the long comment, but I'd rather just say it all then allow everyone to have souring arguments for marching titles. Plus Neil Patrick Harris seemed to represent well ;)
THEY ARENT A MARCHING BAND THEY ARE A CORE !

@@JoseGarcia-mi4ig Corps*
god people don't get so bent out of shape over words ... I am a diehard DCI fan and the words marching band are not that odd...
All that rehearsal time they put in to get just over a minute of TV coverage. Feels like a rip off. Oh well...it was good to see the purple pants one more time before they get retired.
Should a heard Jerry Lewis screw up the introduction to Blue Devils Drum Line on the MS Telephon years ago. Hey they're actors not DCI fans!
The corps sounded great, but that fake crowd noise is unnecessary, distracting from the music, and sounds totally stupid.
every time drum corps gets mainstream media attention it always ends up cringe like this I hate it lol. Reminds me of the tv show they made a couple years ago that ended up just being a bunch of reality type drama and barely about drum corps as a whole
* guy * get
bruh those crowd sfx are seriously annoying imo
Drum Corps is marching band guys, get over it. Im a 2 year drum corps vet and still call it marching band.

No I definitely do refer to it as "just marching band", and so do people that I march with. The fans care more about what its called than the people who march

Lol one of your own also missed the conquest shots as well. I wish dci would do more of those combined encores... totally fun. Im marching with crown this year.
Seriously it's just marching band. Lol dci is marching band just without woodwinds. Calm down
Cancel Nick Cannon for this.
He called it a marching band. *facepalm*
Guys, it's really just marching band.
just let all the band kids get it out of their system.
You spelled summer diddle band wrong.
Brandon Kassab Bugle Corp*
Jose Garcia no it's just marching band back then it was corp
It is not a marching band its is a drum and bugle corps. Which means only a battery and brass are allowed whereas marching bands allow woodwinds
Drum Corps. Drum Line. Band. Wind Band. Marching Band. what not a Brass & Drum Corps? well, what about the color guard. Brass, Drum and Color Corps. yeah. just be glad anyone pays attention to what you do. you'll get that point very clearly when you get over your testosterone period. (like, 35+).
Nick Cannon..No..
Marching band.... o\
It's so sad they spent their time and money to fly to Florida just to get just to get less than a minute of film. You can do better than this Disney. SMH
