We were there that night. First drum corp experience for the family and myself. We were pretty excited that we scored good seats up front when the family in front of us turns around, pulls out their ear plugs, and says "Oh, so you guys must be huge DCI fans too!?" We said, "oh this is the first time we've been to a show like this." They replaced their ear plugs, smiled knowingly, and turned around. When the contra-bass bugles did their contagion and got ready to play, I suddenly understood what we were in for. It was the loudest un-amplified music I've ever heard. It was awesome! But my kids were in tears from the shock of it.... Most people sat on the lawn at Tanglewood.
It was a choice of being here and seeing 2 corps , or going to Allentown same night ,and seeing 5 or 6 perform at Cadets show. that's why 1 empty seat was mine!
This should be included in retreat after finals with ALL the top-12 corps getting in on it, similar to how America the Beautiful/Oh Canada was done... BUT the part for cannon needs to be included USING A CANNON. otherwise, very, very, very-very good. I have duck bumps!
WOW WOW WOW what a memory will live with these young folks their whole life.to this day drum corp made my teen years and have great memories from that time.love the performance face on many as they performed that is the face we had while performing the the late 50's early 60's.
My heart is beating so fast….these kids did a wonderful job. This is their moment in time! I hope they know how powerful they are. I’d like to thank them for this great performance. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
We watched the July 4th rehearsal show live in Boston at Hatch Shell and that gave us a true feel for the 1812 Overture and the significance it plays in Boston. The power of the music and the performance is off the chart. So when I watch this show the chills, goose bumps and tears can't be avoided. I'm proud of you my son, Kris Mason, thank you and your Crusader friends/teammates for the gift of music you give us..
Ken- my childhood was spend watching Arthur Fiedler and the Pops on the Esplanade! I also played this my senior year in high school. I was in the pit with the percussion and i still love this. PLAY IT LOUD!!!
Can't help air-conducting (!!!) -- was fortunate enough to be on the podium with our college marching band back in the dark ages (early 1980s) when we did the 1812. LOVE IT!
0:51 I loved that low concert E-flat from the tubas & bass trombones. The baritones and tubas sounded great in that intro. 1:27 - 1:36 trumpets were beautiful there.
This was majestic and magnificent that it vibrated my soul. My heart is bursting with joy and sadness as it reminded me of the past years of my marching days and when I too played my instrument. The memories that instrumentation evoke was truly precious and a blessing that can’t be replicated but can definitely become awakened into ones subconscious mind as this can bring happiness, sadness or an array of emotions that are amazing. The 1812 Overture brings about the most blessed experience I have ever experienced by this production and I am really happy to have heard this glorious journey by all of these two mighty corps!! Thank you to everyone who was involved. ❤️
There may not be any french horns in the corps but the beginning is played solely by a few ringers in white shirts in the back playing classic orchestra brass, at least two of which are french horns. There are sky mics in the back and that is one of the reasons we can hear the low tuba in the beginning so clearly, because the orchestra tubas' bells (there are at least two of them) are pointed skyward toward the mics.
I'm still watching this video...absolutely amazing! Wish I had been there. Saw both corps at Gillette Stadium for Crusaders 75th Anniversary East Coast Classic last July. So happy!
If there was more music like this on actual DCI tours, I might actually start paying to go to DCI events again. Just can't relate to most of the music most corps play in their shows these days. This is awesome!
Конечно же надо было в зале находится - вживую. Пусть нет струнных и пушек, но трубы все компенсировали.... чуть заглушили правда барабанов... но эмоционально. Каждый оркестр, если хочет быть достойным - включает эту Увертюру Чайковского , потому что она реально сложная, но величественная. Величественная настолько, что сам Петр Ильич признавал что она ему не нравится из за этого. Но время седлало свое дело!!!
0:49 The Crusaders bass drummer wearing glasses looks really disappointed his loudest, lowest tuba player lost count of his quarter notes and played a part two beats early when the rest of the ensemble was playing perfectly. I think it was a combination of him overblowing, playing a part two counts early and hitting one of the A-flats way off of pitch center a half step sharp, that lead to that visible disappointment. The Blue Devils girl to the left of the Crusaders bass drummer appears to contain a little chuckle at the flub, too. That part sounds awesome played fat and down an octave, though. It adds a lot. It isn't quite as clean and reverent as the rest of the ensemble but it still adds a lot.
Steve Rondinaro announcing? (Brandt Crocker would have been the obvious choice - the stadium voice of DCI for almost 30 years) So very cool to see and hear!!
This is what's happening in drum corps now! No more 0ne valve bugles, using three valve bflat and soprano, tuba, french horn, mellophonium and baritone, horns plus full battary percussion!
The only thing I cannot understand... how can there be any empty seats in that audience?? That was pretty awesome! I wish I could have seen it live.
the same way there are 12 down votes. No love for great music

Right???
Most people sit on the lawns at Tanglewood!

"We march in Phantom cause we like straight lines."
Look at those gorgeous contras in the back.
"Tubas" :P
@Conflux they're tubas... not contra basses
FudgyTheWhale um.... that tuba is specifically a contrabass bugle
@@Phin_Again no it's not
PLUS ONE "TUBA" that was sitting down.
Brilliant!! No symphony orchestra should be without this group whenever they do the 1812 Overture!!
...and you got to see that LIVE?!! You are one lucky man!!
Was there in row 5. It was LOUD and amazing!
Was it the whole hornline of each corps or just some members from each corps?
Jc Odle Full hornlines of both corps.
I will never understand anyone who isn't moved to, at the VERY least, chills after listening to these things! Amazing job
always remember the horn lines marching away from audience then turn and march forward the sound of the horn line was incredible.
WOW WOW WOW what a memory will live with these young folks their whole life.to this day drum corp made my teen years and have great memories from that time.love the performance face on many as they performed that is the face we had while performing the the late 50's early 60's.

I've been listening to drum corp for years, how did I just see this.
I had the pleasure of working with Boston crusaders when then came to the UK

This rocks!! Thanks for catching this.
I was there in 2016! Both last year and the year before, they were on my birthday. Last year was my first DCI experience
I love Drum Corp :)
Diana McCool Careful there... That came a little to close to BFDTV's tag line "BFDTV Loves Drum Corps!" And we know a lawyer, just kidding of course.
0:51 I loved that low concert E-flat from the tubas & bass trombones. The baritones and tubas sounded great in that intro. 1:27 - 1:36 trumpets were beautiful there.
The music before approximately 1:16 was played by the BSO Brass section which also performed that night.
Absolutely the BEST performance I have ever seen.
That was heroic...laughing out loud with joy. Made my day.
The drums from 6:27 are the super cool. I can listen to it again and again. Greetings from Germany.

The Fr. Horns in the beginning and the bass at 5:45 are so beautiful.
John King bit late but almost no corps have fr. horns in them.

OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE
This is my favorite thing on the internet.
As tremendous this rendition this performance, Im looking PHANTOM REGIMENT to jump in at anytime.
Tout simplement incroyable.

Always loved this and especially loved playing it in my Band days. (which was probably about the time it was written.)
Well not quite, but.
pat hill 😀👍🏼
lol
Love it my hs band marched to 1812 in the 80's
WOW WOW WOW!!!!!!! doesn't get any better than that. thank you for sharing.
"Spectacular" just isn't grand enough to describe this...
Chills, chills, and more chills! Spectacular. Would love to have been there to hear this in person.
Bobby - thanks for giving us all the BEST SEAT IN THE HOUSE!!
Fantastic. My home town :-)
Man...that's awesome. I love '1812 Overture' too.
Thanks so much for sharing! AWESOME!
Somewhere in Heaven, Hector Berlioz is weeping with joy.
Possibly....
This is sooooo good. This and BDI in Basel, Switz. BD is just a fantastic corps with so many opportunities, and so many events and programs
Awesome!! I can only imagine how this was in person!!
This was well done and I really enjoyed the music. Thank you .
I live in Virginia now. I would have given ANYTHING to be there! AWESOME!
i LOVE THIS IS AMAZING ALL OF THIS YOUNG MUSICIANS . THEY ARE INCREDIBLE HO MY GOD SO GOOOOD GOD JOB ! i wish i was there !
That is fantastic. I wish I was there.
this is just mind blowing fun
Absolutely AMAZING!!!
I live uphill from Tanglewood and on a still night, I can hear the concerts clearly from my backyard.
Shoutout to the ringers all the way in the back :p
Haha! Those are the Boston Pops Orchestra Brass!!! they should give them honorary Blue Devils Uni's
This is absolutely awesome! Bravo!!
Absolutely magnificent!!
I love how now matter what you can hear the trombone color from the Pops even in the loudest sections
Awesome Boston!
C’mon, Boston! This isn’t the field. It’s ok to crack a smile for a sec.
Beautiful interpretation, greatest, bravo, braaaavooooo.........
OMG!! Wonderful! I’ve got chills!
WOW !!!! AWESOME performance !!!!
A slightly edited arrangement, but spectacular. This is what Tchaikovsky envisioned the arrangement originally - for brass band.
Amazing!!!!!!
Y'all really need to invite me to these things.
Incredibly beautiful!!!!
magnificent
Love the basses.
Holy COW!!!!!!
Brilliant.
Superbe performance

Tremendous!
Espectacular, sin palabras
Excelente, no me canso de

Incroyable
love the WOW sound at 118 mark, and the Rattle of Mallets at 157 mark
Ouf! Quelle prestation.
WOW! LOVED THIS!!!!
Awesome, Genial
SURREALISTIC ,
just love you
Oh... My... GOSH!!!!!!!
6:52 Peyton Manning on the snare drum
nice
Music of the Angels!
Wow!!!!!!!
My favorite part about this is that I can still hear Jim Markey rocking it on bass trombone in the back.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
where's the cannons?? xD
On the shoulders of the contra players.
Darn it, you beat me to it....... lol
6:15 is the main part

All that was missing were the fireworks! Amazing!!!
Steve Rondinaro announcing? (Brandt Crocker would have been the obvious choice - the stadium voice of DCI for almost 30 years) So very cool to see and hear!!
wow
Chills!!
好大的陣仗!!
Bad ass
This is what's happening in drum corps now! No more 0ne valve bugles, using three valve bflat and soprano, tuba, french horn, mellophonium and baritone, horns plus full battary percussion!
Agree. It takes two of today's corp to create the sound of one corp from the prior years.
Yes and back in your days you can buy a full breakfast for a quarter and have change for an ice cream cone IF YOU CAN REMEMBER.
Holy Schnickes.
Who was playing the trumpet solo?
Goose Bump City!
Maybe I'm missing something obvious, but who was playing up to the 1:13 mark?
Greg Belhorn Don't ask, don't tell. the folks in the way back in the white shirts.
+Greg Belhorn pops
+Greg Belhorn This is at Tanglewood with the Boston Symphony Brass
THE POWER!!!
Probably 130db, louder than a jet airplane. You would have to see it live to appreciate it.
Can you send a copy of the score? Or do you now where to order the music?
All I wanted was a cannon... and I didn't get it :(
