Ohhhhhhh wonderful! Young people doing something creative!! It's a thing of beauty! Gets my blood moving, and not boiling!!! Thank you! Bruce in South Carolina
I played this with a DrumCorp in Saint Louis waaaaaaay back in 1990 !!!!!!! Brings back memories !!!!! I decided to become a professional french horn player and composer as a direct result of being in DrumCorps !!!!!!!!! =))
Beautiful. One of the best songs ever played by an epic corp. Why did they stop? Bring them back! And why do people walk by? Can they not notice the awesomeness?
I marched Magic in the early 90's. Our staff included some of these guys. They all have corps background, that's a fact. They come from a variety of corps too, so it's not just Phantom, or Devils guys. They were extremely talented so say the least. You had to be the best of the best to play with this group.
wow, thats awesome. I cant believe i havent seen this video before now, ive seen all the FC stuff but not this :p Awesome, one of their best songs i think
@JacketTrombone Disney cancelled this group but contracted pretty much the same musicians into the Main Street Philharmonic which is pretty much Future Corps but with different uniforms and I think the brass for the MSP use Bb horns instead of G Bugles, but STILL these musicians put on an outstanding performance today as The Main Street Philharmonic.
Agreed..... Playing ability comes from practice, time and devotion. I'll add raw talent too. All of which applies to the guys in FC. As for the drill, they weren't competing. Small group, small area to perform (with guests all over) and no markings. Oh and multiple shows a day (many times different). Nothing wrong with what they were doing. Oh and G bugles do have a distinct sound. Part of the beauty of drum corps of old. I like them much better than Bb horns.
you do know that all these guys were in drum corp before doing future corp. cause i know a few people in there and there still teaching drum corp, and touring the country performing and doing clinics. and also saying your a fan of "real" drum corp is pathetic cause if you were, you could obviously tell these guys were in drum corp.
Don't get me wrong. I think the Future Corps is awesome. They're impressive musicians. Saw them live a couple times, but couldn't Disney have come up with better outfits? ouch!
You're kidding, right? What is a real corps? Through the years, the "not drum corps" argument has come up. Where is the line drawn? Amplified commentary (Cadets)? Bb horns? 3-valve G bugles? Moving equipment to the pit? 2-valves (both piston)? Marching/drill style (on a field)? Competition? Parade only? Can't agree with you. FC had every right to be called a corps. One of the best groups Disney had. You don't like? Don't watch. They were great with 11 horns, 3 drummers & little room.
Why are you so concerned with the drill of a Disney entertainment group? Are they not entertaining? Is this real drum corps? So do they have to follow the rules of drum corps? They can do whatever they want with their own art form.
And yet they are still Drum Corps, not Drum Band....Bugles are gone...So what? Ive played Sop before...I prefer my Bb. Easier to keep in tune when you are screaming and playing loud.
And this is why i joined marching band...now i'm currently in DCI Cavaliers.
Bring Future Crops Back!
God I miss the 90's :)
O My Goodness .. I wept upon hearing this again after hearing it live in Epcot years ago .. I NEVER thought I would hear it again .. excellence !!

haha... this made me laugh. When I hear good musicians playing so amazing and with very few people it just makes me so happy... I love this post!!!
There's two things I love about this video. The Song and the Corps Performing.
love this rendition
The triple bass drum player is Paul Collins from south Boston, MA.
Do your research on Future Corp, they were probably one of the best "corps" ever.
I was in the velvet knights in 85 and I saw this in florida...I wanted to join
Did you march with Carl Diefenbach?
You are super correct. It is the MF arrangement, you can tell by the little "fanfare" at the beginning.
I've had about a total of 4 eargasms tonight listening to this madness! =p

LOL! ... This thread is very entertaining.

You boys 're KICKIN' !
they are as good as the original artists
wow, thats awesome. I cant believe i havent seen this video before now, ive seen all the FC stuff but not this :p
Awesome, one of their best songs i think
nice one man bass line solo
Back when they performed, im sure the outfits were kinda cool looking, im sure theyde have changed it up if the corp was still around today, tear tear
the 3 people who dislike this dont deserve to live...

outstanding
This vid was old school...
They still have this song played at Epcot but It's by the African musicians(who are amazing) but it's not the same.
Bitchin! Simply, bitchin!
fantastic, when do you come In France or at Monaco?
@timpanista Yes it is....
Where else do you think they got the sound quality, marching skills, and playing ability from?
i think it is the mf arrangement
@mikedaguy 0:00 - 5:37 is epic, too. just sayin :D
Yea this is Maynard Ferguson's own arrangement, just transferred down about 2 or 3 octaves :)
i personally know their band leader and the triple bass drum player and i can tell you billpisley that THEY ALL CAME FROM DRUM CORPS!! clear enough??

DCI has corps not bands...
And NO Electronics!!!
