31 years later and one has to wonder, was Curt Gowdy reading the newspaper as this show was playing ? ? it's the only explanation I can come up with. Unless he was having some kind of PTSD from finals in '88 & '89, which was in Kansas City.
My God this show got heat, but man is it a masterpiece of piss and vinegar and violence and "fuck you".
Would love to have marched this show.. it was imo the beginning of a tremendous era in dci.
I’d love to see drill like this again in DCI.
How did you get a high cam? I only have the legacy DVD with multicam. Can you still get these somehow? 1991 in high cam only? That would be incredible!
This was from the DVD the alumni association was selling, it had a bonus high cam version
Thanks for posting this, Scott! Still to this day one of the most amazing shows ever put on the field. First time I’ve seen that drill from the top in a very long time. Breathtaking!
Star had the best mellos of any corps I’ve ever heard. Period! They are just money, like a sports car racing that hornline to the finish line! 🏁🏎
Star of India 93' had better music and overall sensitivity to musicianship. Drumline WAY better. Cadets 93' had better drill, visuals, and overall general effect. Hornline was WAY better.
This show was a perfect antidote to the "Merica, Fuck Yeah" show of 1992. The only thing I didn't like was the stupid symmetrical pit.
I still like what Quasar did with Respighi better.
7:48 to 8:40 is THE most glorious minute I've ever heard on a field. Absolutely shocking. I always loved Medea by Barber. It's heavenly and magnificent from start to finish. I can't believe I'm hearing it played with such utter musicianship and finesse by a marching brass ensemble- by this great drum corps. Notice the unbelievable applause. That's the greatest applause I've ever heard after a DCI corps. Can you just imagine how much this music grew on the players over the months? If I were in this corps in 1993 I would be beautifully haunted the rest of my life whenever I heard these pieces. I am sure I would cry a little each time. And what's amazing is that they're too TOTALLY different composers. When I first heard Medea I thought it would make a great drum corps piece. And haven't some corps done it since?
Carolina Crown did it in 2016
What a stupid thing for the announcer to say: "A lot of people don't like this music. Barber and Bartok." How provincial. Here we have one of the greatest corps in history getting criticized for being too patriotic the year before, and now that they literally become the New York Philharmonic on the field, people STILL have negative things to say? Unbelievable. What on earth is wrong with Barber? Or the great master Bartok?! This is the greatest musical achievement of any drumcorps to date. That I am aware of. And they did it ALL while moving. Not a moment of park and bark. They are so in sync too with their movements, and the music is so clear, and they have the best dynamic range I've ever heard. This is the first time I've heard this performance. This was the FUTURE of drum corps. Great classical music performances on the field. Some day more corps will attempt this quality again, instead of cluttering the music with props galore, gay pride rainbow tarps, (Cavies 18), and pop song tracks or voiceovers covering up entire drum lines performances.
Too bad they chose to ruin the ending by leaving that scrim up for so long. What a great show marred by a silly decision.
Some ridiculous moron online claims this show was booed at finals. Clearly that's not true.
Holy shit. :48 fortissimo. Unbelievable
This band had determination. They started the season in Flight 2, then jumped up to Flight 1 despite having just under 90 members. In an upset, they won the Flight 1 state title, then went on to place 3rd at the BOA Toldeo regional, and ended the season in 13th (out of 14) in Grand National Finals.
This was such a difficult show to learn. We all pulled it off here at Grand Nationals. This music and the show in general was considered pretty innovative for the time.
Pretty perfect by any standard. Contemporary drum corps should watch and learn. No props or other junk on the field!
They should but they won't. In that age you watched as they went form to form and you watched it build. Now they run to a spot, then stop and pop. They might have 5 singers on the sideline singing 4 part harmony plus the synthesizer shaping notes for them or, at a minimum, raising the bass by 10 decibels. Some people think that 2023 drum corp is so much better than 1991 or 1985 drum corp. I disagree.
I love how absolutely unhinged this show is. Not to hate on the sport in it's current age, it just was a different time.
Greatest 15 seconds of drill ever written. Cross. to. cross.
It always struck me as odd that people refer to this show as being ahead of its time when this approach to musicality never really took hold in the activity. There was a trend towards abstraction after this, but honestly even that didn't take hold for very long. If you look at modern drum corps, it has much more in common with the meta of this era than Star: a tendancy to not use much open space musically, frequent, large-scale musical arrival points to keep the crowd engaged, shows centered around an easily identifiable theme, sometimes going up to an explicit storyline with narration, etc. Sure, the body choreography took hold, and the way that front ensemble writing was done changed after this show, but in all seriousness, the list of shows that have approached abstraction, modernism and musical minimalism in a similar way is an extremely, extremely sparse category. This show wasn't ahead of its time, its time never actually came. Which makes it seem all the more alien and innovative given the time that has passed.
The being ahead of its time is more the visual approach where the full corps "dances" and has movement typical of the color guard like we are seeing today
the mellos and this drill was insane. absolute masterpiece😮💨
nothing like 16 contras belting splits
Was Star sticking around another year had they won in 93?
The official answer is no, win or loose they would become Brass Theater in 94
Full Disclosure- Star Alum: This is the most misunderstood show ever. 1. Musically the textures were supported by STRONG MELODIES, it wasn't texture for textures sake. 2. The chorography was supremely musical and there just to check a box, unlike today where it is referred to as "vocabulary." Not for nothing- a language with 3-5 words is not a language, thus the term "vocab" is completely stupid.
Kansas City Star really was amazing
Back when drill matched and enhanced the music. The cross to cross is shear genius but don’t forget the whole book is a masterpiece.
I mean, it was Zingali doing what no one else could do, so yes.
The Star of Indiana Mellophones (with accompanying brass, percussion, and color guard).
then cadets play about the same music in 2013
did they? (they played something "quite similar" in 2005 as well, called "False Mirrors," composed by Jay Bocook, Cadets brass arranger, and I'd bet it was meant to sound like this music (couldn't get the rights perhaps. I was asked to compose something in the style of Danny Elfman myself, because (guess what:) the school couldn't/wouldn't get the rights to the actual music.
@@highstimulation2497 it wasn’t exact the same but pretty similar 2013 cadets I’m pretty sure it was samual barbers music
Nope!!!!
the terrible progressives on the extreme far left would cancel this show.
Man that percussion judge was everywhere dodging everything lol...
Mellos are just insane!
Let's see 2023 corps pull off that drill
that drum judge just gets swallowed at the end
I watch this show from time to time whenever I remember about it and it still gets me teary eyed at the cross to cross.
The cross on one side, the reforming it on the other side, along with that music, at that tempo, is probably the best 30 seconds in drum corps history.
no doubt; absolute beauty
HERE IN 2022, AND STILL INSANE!!!!
SHEESH this show requires a brain to understand
“I guess you guys aren’t ready for that yet. But your kids are gonna love it.”
They went God country and dark. Dark was taking over. Fight forever for star ✨ this is not something any of you know about this is deeeeeeeeeeeeeeep
Setting the ground for change. .01.... devastating.

How dare you add ad’s this isn’t yours bad bad bad
There's no ads when I watch it
I didn't monetize it, if you saw an ad, it was something TH-cam added on their own. I receive no money from this account. Here's TH-cams official response "Ads may appear on your uploaded videos even if you haven't monetized the videos yourself.

The drill at 8:16...sublime...and amazing. That's a visual style we've lost...the drill as an evolutionary part of the show instead of just staging for the next stand-still scale feature.
Hohum drill design. Cavvies was so much better that year.
6:08 to 10:29 won it. I was there with 3 friends. Those mellophones and that drill... OMG... Sooooooo good.
Ha Matt Harloff. Caption head for Crown now.
Wow...I became a fan in the late 90s. I finally went back and watched this. Nice.
that opening overdub should have finished before the show started, man. tsk.
9:54 Besides the judges tape, hear how clean that roll is with the right air pod only in your ear.
