Hi everyone, OP here. With the sad news that Vanguard isn't fielding a corps in 2023, it brings me joy to see moments like this remembered fondly across the generations of performers and fans. Thank you to everyone who has left a positive comment - it's what this whole activity is all about.
Send in the Clowns is Easily my favorite corps song - after Never Walk, of course! :-) Stephen Sondheim, and Rogers and Hammerstein - what magic! One of the highlights of my time with the Scouts was a similar performance with SCV in 1982. Much respect.
Hi Tom. Nice to see that others appreciate good music. Used to play for D.L.S. out of Toronto Canada. Circa 1964 and 1965. Only a few decades ago. Take care " Ole Toad ".
I have never played brass, nor have I ever marched onto a field with a musical instrument. My father, when he was in high-school was a "three-way player"... Played Offensive and Defensive Tackle, and played in the Marching Band. I never developed great practicing habbits, so my musical career fizzled probably before it even had a chance to begin developing. When my mother was growing up, she and her younger sister played in an Accordian Band - both playing Scandalli instruments...yes, the EXACT same kind as Myron Florn of Lawrence Welk's Orchestra. Their accomplishments helped foster a great love for music of most all types - from Bluegrass to Norweigan Death Metal...and a few points between those. Where I currently live, Logan County, Ohio, there were a Sr. and Jr. Corp...Sr. being Satan's Angles. Here's a link to a video of a Logan County Historical Society exhibit of them: th-cam.com/video/mMC8Zh8M5oc/w-d-xo.html , but that's all ancient history. In my "loosing battle" with age...lol...I've been turning to music to remember things. OK...ENOUGH RAMBLING. I've always loved Send In the Clowns, and I've watched SCVG play it here on TH-cam...nothing short of amazing. Though my personal favorite DCI Corp is irrelevant to this comment, it does go to show the appreciation of the music, workmanship, ethics and downright moxie ALL DCI participants have. Keep on ROCKING...loved it!
Does anyone know if this was dedicated to anything in particular? I know Madison does this as a tribute sometimes, and this was 2 weeks after the pulse nightclub shooting. Just curious.
hi 2 years late but i can give explanation. we (madison) came out to the west coast for the first time in 2016 since the 1980’s vanguard and madison are still to this day considered “sister corps” so the reason we were playing this was because it was our first time in over 30 years playing as sister coors together prior to competition season starting. all about family.
@@cal3191 the one thing you'll find in only DCI and no other Sport is the insane amount of support between corps. In football, soccer, basketball and baseball, you never see the entire teams getting along like this. And being so public about it. That's what I love so much specifically about DCI.
I love this but does it sound like the trumpet soloist in youll never walk alone drop down an octave unnecessarily? Or am I being crazy? Not being critical it just sounds different than other recordings I've seen. Maybe it was post show and hes just giving his lips a break?
Hey all, sorry for the octave drop. Yeah, I was a bit chopped and halfway through I knew I would have faltered more on the higher end so I tried to save it. My disappointment from that decision still haunts me, but I think it was better than just blowing it. I was a lower trumpet voicing all the years I marched, and 2016's production in the early season really had us pushing air. It was still a really special moment for me, and I'll never forget hearing YNWA with three powerful hornlines playing to my back, it was an honor to just stand there. I was an age-out and cared quite a lot about both corps - my uncle had marched SCV in the 80's, and I wouldn't have been able to march without his financial support or inspiration as a legacy, even though he had passed away before I ever took the field. That night was family night out at Santa Clara HS, it was our first time out west in the time that I marched, and I couldn't help but to think that he would have been there with me in his corps jacket that night, listening to me play. An unofficial tribute, but that performance and so much of that final season for me was dedicated to him, and what those five years on the field had come to mean for me. I have his aussie, I have his old music, and in his folder is the copy of YNWA that he had once memorized and played with the Scouts decades before me. It was a big spiritual full-circle moment. And sometimes you just can't play those high notes. MYNWA Greg
@@gregmizak5232 Thank you for sharing your story. You should be proud to have been a part of such an amazing performance. You played it just fine. I would have done the same thing had I been in your position. I marched mellophone in SCV in 1985 where we did something similar in Stillwater. It was such an amazing experience I’ll never forget. Again, thank you for sharing your story.
Listen to the last musical phrase in Ouroboros. It's the line "isn't it rich" from send in the clowns. This very song was incorporated in a second place show.

P
the fracked note on the send in the clowns solo make it so human and i started crying.
These collaborations are all so outstanding. The competition is one thing, but the Brotherhood is quite another all together
I cant imagine how explsosive that was in person...
bruh, i was in that ark and it was loud!
@@TheLehster sooo lucky oml.
It was very fun to be apart of it. :)
it was insane.
@@TheLehster
i am SO jealous! In the late 80's I marched with the Marauders. Never at this level though.

"Send In The Clowns" is GRIPPING & CHILLING!!!!!! FANTASTIC!!!!! Joe Engman.
My two fave corps songs (I'm biased as an SCV alum). Lovely.
You'll Never Walk Alone literally made me start crying what.
Here I am a year later listening to this still.
This was everything I needed this morning....
Heaven.....I must be in heaven!!!! So Incredible!
my full body has chills
I’m not crying. You’re crying
SCV is incredible
Love this! Thanks!
The chord at 4:43 gets me every time.
I'm crying...I admit it.
If you heard it with G bugles, you would be blown away.
Gail would be Proud.
BEAUTIFUL (except for the fool at 4:30 who felt compelled to bless the planet with his obnoxious "Come on!").
This needs to be shown to the head of promotion at Liverpool FC😂😂
Chills

I don’t think it was - they just happened to play their corps songs together. Sorry for the late comment!

He did drop an octave - probably giving their lips a break. I don’t know whether this was post show or not, so I can’t speak to that part.

@@gregmizak5232 You've got nothing to regret here, especially on Family Day. Thanks for being a part of this incredible experience.

Beautiful. Hate that the soloist ran outta chops and had to take it down an octave.
1:43
They have the same songs?
My high school sings and plays Youll Never Walk Alone aswell :')
each corps played their own corps song individually. They just were together to show fellowship
Ryan We learned each-other’s corps song
In '90 all of the horn lines got together with the Scouts after a show in Ankeny, Iowa to play You'll Never Walk Alone.
James S why?
now why can't today's corps play song like this in their show. music we are familiar with.
AMEN! The "new" mangled music they play in today's shows leave much to be desired; nothing to get me on my feet and cheering!
Art doesn’t have to make you feel happy, it just has to make you feel something.
Courtney Hart that's not always accomplished with many modern shows, imo.
