@@burdrchitect1680nah that’s definitely that’s old school mello writing, which I loved about the 80s-90s, it was truly an amazing era for drum corps. Amazing shows in the 2000s as well.
Man is it bad that I’ve watched this clip about 10 times in a row and literally LAUGH out loud each time at the insanity of that line? Holy shit guys, that was just madness! BTW, was at Finals in 1998 and this was by far my fav show.
@@Jay-hp3tu Oh I love me some Star - though 1990 Star was my favorite hornline. That first what, minute, of hornline that sounds like a pipe organ is just gorgeous and lush.
I had always loved this lick, when listening to the audio. But, I had NO IDEA it was this EVIL and raucous because it was kind of covered by the rest of the ensemble. Thanks for the clip. Hats off and much respect to the Cadets '98 mello line!
I remember you telling us about this lick. I’ll stick to my good ol 10th place Tuba book thank you. I ain’t got time to be as good as this again. Even if I could, I’d probably have one good show left in me!!
Holy crap. No one writes mellos like that. Beastly playing.
Not at all.. its a double tonguing crap. which I enjoy. But the Mello writing in the 90s were amazing
...Any more. Early 90s: Star of Indiana.

@@rifle2563 Please name a show bc I can't think of one. This is a different type of mello writing than what is written today.

You should watch Star '91 and remember the Godfather of Mello Lines.

For anyone asking,
yes they did win in this year.

Always need a powerful Mellow section, it's the most important one after all
Found the mello player
tuba is the most important! i mean the mellos do get cool parts and all but the tuba keeps the band in order.
I came here expecting to hear The Lick™ 😜
Yep....and THAT one was about the entire horn line.
I was fucking baited
I didn't trademark it, Hoss. It's just what we called it.
You gonna be okay?
@@jasonbentley3989 This is known among jazz musicians as "the lick." (It's not actually trademarked.) ruclips.net/video/krDxhnaKD7Q/видео.html
Cadets always some of the most unique mello writing to this day and I love it
And this is another great example of why they are The Golden Section!
I’m marching Harmonic Journey this year, and I thought our music was hard!
This is the kind of stuff that nowadays it hits like early to mid june and go “yah, that seemed cool, but i don’t think this is realistic”
didn't they always say this mid-june?
Oh yeah, was at finals in 98' and this show was the obvious winner, it was SO CLEAN and man, what a book!
Holy CRAP! Was that the final score? I’ve never heard all that!
It was.. I love me some 90s cadets..the mello books had some raw meat...now this is the first time I've heard it up this close. Lordy..
@@burdrchitect1680 I spent YEARS trying to figure out that mello run, even AFTER marching Cadets and I finally got to hear it up close. FANTASTIC!
@@TheRailwayDrone I'm so glad I found this. It has made me even more happier.
98.4 ~~ 39.5 in GE and perfect score visual performance
@@CSRookie Score = musical score - not judges’ result.

The 90’s socks are strong with this video
I'm a trumpet player but I cannot help but love the mellophone
It's the electric guitar of the brass world, which is why I love it.
as a mello player who thinks the lick is the funnies thing in the world: so true!
Boy, we’ve come a long way since then. (Crown)
I’d put the 98 line up against anything before or since. Crown wasn’t playing on instruments made out of gas station jewelry.
I got to see this show in late July or early August. I think it was in blountville TN. It was impressive.
Good God almighty!!!😱
39.5 GE and perfect score for visual performance
that backwards flex
I'm gonna have to scan the superfan videos again because I don't remember seeing or hearing this part of what we got from Sam.
I loved your stories on how crazy this lick was!!!
HOLY HELL WHAT IS THAT
Lol they wore drums so high back then!
My highschool band had the same kind of thing. We had this little Mello lick at the closer of our 2018 show. We abused that lick more than "the" licc.
I was not expecting it to be that loud. I dont know what I was expecting but not that
The Bomb! I love it! You guys were bad ass! So when you in your 60’s ...we still bad! :)
damn percussion shorts have been around forever
That was nasty
I found the stock finale sounds😂
A fellow Mello from 98 is going to scan the music for part 3. I'll post it when I get it.
OH THATS WHAT SHOW THIS IS FROM
1998 Cadets..."Stonehenge"
Where is this in the show?
5:50 or so
Part 3
holy shit
24th sub
……dang
Did this lick make it all the way to finals?
Yep. We had it from day one. That line was stacked.
@@jasonbentley3989 Yeah, you guys sounded awesome! Were you still on G horns at the time?
Thanks, and yep. Those were hacked and slashed Kanstuls.
@@jasonbentley3989 I'd say so!
Bocook right?
Yep. I’m pretty sure he’s in the shot at some point.
yeah I think that's him at 0:32 on the left.
Schwing!

I’m dumb, or old, most likely both. What does PFP mean?
@@just__dave Profile Picture yours is the blue devils
Ah! Yes. Yes it is.
yeah it.was a lick, not "the lick"
Apologies, fam. That's just what we called it in '98.
@@jasonbentley3989 And way before the meme too hahaha (it became a meme around 2010)
I guess this would be the original "the lick" then :)
anyone transcribe this?
I'll ask and see if anyone still has the music.

Where was the lick
Not THE lick but an insane mello lick
that's not even a lick
Back when dudes didn't wear pink and turquoise shorts.
Oh come on, like that affects anything.
Tough guys wear pink.
