Vanguard is seriously underrated. They deserve so much more love. Their "Mars" feature is fucking fire. Their "Phantom" feature was so lyrical, it was so amazing. And then their Les Mis show, that was so powerful I almost cried. They need more recognition. They should honestly be getting top 3. I get their lines arent as perfect as the blue devils and everything but their music effect is out of this fucking world
Agreed. I love their Les Mis show. It was so different. I was expecting completely different music. I love their percussion feature of Dog Eats Dog. That was definitely a surprise. And the colorguard feature with the single mellophone player...wow! It was such a simple moment, but it said so much. And their uniforms were on point, too.
This is essentially our HS band model. Full field formations. Nice front ensemble. Great ensemble playing. Great marching. Not a whole lot of dancing. Classy pieces the crowd can relate to. We can’t go full on classical and not lose the parents, but we can include some and some Broadway in our shows. Seriously underrated now looking through the lens of the 2020s. Fabulous show.
Congratulations! I'm a Cavalier alum from 2003, so you and I had Jeff Fiedler as our director. Small world :-) Anyways, this is a fantastic show. I hope you had a great summer!
My rookie year was 9 years before that. This was my first viewing of '12 (I know, way late to the game) and y'all had me in tears. What a stellar, beautiful job. Thanks for making this old vet proud. TNPLSC
Drum corps was so much better. I haven't been to a show in probably 6-7 years because I just can't get into the new show designs. I try to watch them on YT and can't even finish them. I really miss this style of show.
I’m an old school fan and Watching 2012 now and watched previously 1999, 2005 and 2008, always a fan of them and phantom . Always classy and professional. Enjoy every show!! Hope they come back stronger!!! 💪🏻💪🏻
Not gonna happen. People have become seriously addicted to the half-assed trippy abstraction mess that is modern DCI and WGI. The modern style is pretty comparable to “modern art”.
@@thenelsonbruhs722 i'm ngl, i disagree. the shows in 2023 were so good, but the only thing i'd change about modern dci is the drill, to make it cooler and crazy like it in the 2000s - early 2010s. cadets 2023 got it right in their closer.
@@fortune8133 I don’t have a problem with people liking modern shows, I just hate it when people act like every year of dci is the “best year ever”. I’ve heard people say that literally every year since 2019 and it’s really annoying.
@@thenelsonbruhs722 i mean are they wrong to say that though? 2021 was an amazing show reprise for so many corps, and even the new shows were really good, 2022 was another amazing year, and 2023 was super competitive
I marched DCI for the first time in 2012 and when I got to see their show in person at the first regional I remember the opener alone was the thing that solidified my love for DCI. Thank you so much for uploading this and allowing me to take another trip down memory lane.
Vanguard, I swear, if I go to dci in 2024 and you dont present me with somethign like this im gonna cry my eyes out because I'm going for you, for this type of show
Ahh, the masters of the soft closer. ❤😊 As much as I despise show rewrites, I loved this….even throwing in of ‘Mars’. But then again, I’m biased. #❤SCV Please bring back the uniforms in ‘24!!!
Anyone who stumbles across this video who loves judges tapes, check out www.fromthepressbox.com/judges. I just discovered it tonight there are so many great TH-cam videos with the tapes synced up that are way better quality than this one lol.

In my humble opinion, THIS should serve as a model of what modern drum corps should look and sound like! Well done, Vanguard!
Love

Thank you! This was my rookie year with Vanguard ❤

Love. Same for me 2012-2014
Damn, remember when drum corps just marched wicked formations using the entire field instead of it being full of large props and dancing around

Can’t believe it took me this long to watch this show… it’s amazing just wow
Vanguard needs to go back to this style of show if in 2024
Not gonna happen.

I had no clue how fantastic that was. Thanks for that. That is now in my personal top ten favorites.
Wow. Remember actual uniforms? They were great.

Great show, enjoyed all the little snippets from Phantom of the Opera. Peter Weber was the man!

Music of the Night company front gave me chills.
This show is so wickedly bad ass I cannot praise it enough. That Mars feature was insane.
I thought I had heard that ballad before. John Mackey’s work. Masterfully done. 👏
Why have I never heard anyone talk about this Drumline, this book is ridiculous
Hard to find a full version! Miss those days…
Ahh, the masters of the soft closer. ❤😊

Please bring back the uniforms in ‘24!!!
Opener on point!!
8:48 Snare Break!
I love grinning like an idiot; therefore I love this show.
The most audible sticks in ever at 3:54
5:47 The kid screaming "Hey Puppy"
O my God!!!!
How are the tubas that loud. I wish
Pure class. Gail would be smiling. 5th place my ass.
