TheBearded _Guardian couldn't agree with u more. Fiedler brought the kind of spunk to the Cavaliers that they've been missing ever since he left. There was a moxy to them and a swagger that people didn't fuck with. The moment the cavaliers stepped on the field u knew it was over for anyone else. There was a reason why the cavaliers were dubbed "the green machine".
@@decisivedecision I marched under him in 2003. He is a great guy, makes sure his members are treated well, helps keep them healthy and motivated using a strrict but kind manner. Truly one of the best leaders of DCI
I miss when they wore hats, and didn’t have all the props. May be a boomer comment, but this era was better than the current era. I’ll die on this hill.
I seen them in 1991 in the DCI finals. They were all so beautiful and shiny and LoUD! I had no idea what I was watching as our band teacher tried to expose us form the little Latino community of Northside Fort Worth! Thank you so much Mr Colvin!!!!
When I marched in ‘01, I was in a D2 corps in the same region as Cavi’s and I must have seen this show 30 times. Watching those contras haul ass across the field never got old. I had no idea how good I had it back then.
1991 was the first time I seen DCI live when I was 16. It was at the Cotton Bowl and I couldn’t imagine today what I was witnessing!!! Misss those shows
This was my first year marching at Blue Stars and I remember having chills this whole show. I even followed them back in the stadium after watching them warm up. This still goes down as one of my favorite DCI shows of all time.
Well this hornline book was all original music to win a title. No one ever played it ever it. Modern hornlines just rewrite and have to go through crazy headaches when selecting pieces to play.
Amazing!! A friend of mine who lived in the U.S. happened to send me a video of DCI 2001 that was being broadcast on TV. As a member of the marching club at my junior high school in Japan, I was hooked on that video. This show is cool and perfect in every moment: melodic music, cool drum lines, speedy drills, superbly executed pits, and an impressive color guard. The videotape is frayed and broken from too many repeated viewings, but thanks to you, my dream of seeing this great show again has come true. Thank you so much.
I am delighted to help marching band lovers see and review their favorite bands, and I thank you for keeping the musical culture alive on the other side of the globe. Strong hug!
At the very end the flag doesn't come down like it's supposed to and the guy is trying to discreetly get it to fall... I feel bad for him. That probably haunts him to this day.
the one guy falls at 8:13 and then can't figure out what to do with himself while everyone else is still. This proves that this group is, somehow, human.
There’s more to the story on that fall. This moment in the show was called “Family Photo”. The horns spiral run into two groups to “pose” for a family photo so that they are motionless during the percussion feature. The one baritone loses his footing and falls. But wait! A tuning slide fell out of his horn and he picks it up and tries to put it back in his horn. “Tries” is the operative word here because he needed to press one of the valves to release air pressure and he didn’t. The tuning slide compressed the air and popped off out of reach and at that point he gave up. That all occurred in mere seconds.
Steve Brubaker passed away in January of 1993. This drill was designed by the great Michael Gaines. But he was certainly influenced by Mr. Brubaker. I believe he marched under his instruction as a Color guard member back in the 80s. The Cavaliers have been blessed to have many of the best visual designers ever! Brubaker, Pocklacki, Noble, Gaines.
@@jeffkoehncomedy2370 sorry, I meant to say Michael Gaines. He picked up where Brubaker left off and both produced the finest drill designs of the “modern era”. The whiplash Zingali drills of Garfield and Star were interesting, but lacked the design intracies, pictoral beauty and mind bending visuals of these two great Cavalier designers. Nothing I have seen recently begins to compare.
Drums 7520 - I agree...Brubaker and Gaines had a visual language that covered every base. Every sequence was fluid and aesthetically beautiful, and there was never a wasted move. These days, designers rely on staging and props without much consideration at all for visual development execution, or beauty of form. Don’t forget the great designer immediately after Mr. Brubaker - Greg Pocklacki - he designed the 93-95 drills and some of the most innovative effects ever!

I wish we could go back to these simple show themes like Four corners, Frameworks and Spin Cycle
5:10
You know when someone in the crowd screams "HERE WE GO!" that you are in for some truly transcendent greatness.
Yes, I know how to eat it.
That was Richard Saucedo, the composer of the brass music for the show.
I miss the Jeff Fielder Cavaliers!! Best era of Cavaliers in my opinion

@@maxcherkasskikh5960 DAMN RIGHT
Jeff is an angel.
@@maxcherkasskikh5960 They got the nickname the Green Machine well before Jeff Fiedler, and even before DCI was founded.

i don't know wtf happened to drum corps since i aged out in 05 but this is what i used to love
🥁😎🎺
Blue devils/the stupid politics
@@Mr_Gray_1995 As a BD fan I agree.
@@burdrchitect1680 that wasn’t a compliment.
Drum corps is still good. Just evolved

The way they just haul it into the form starting at 11:42 is just insane. I really miss this style of drumcorps.

Every now and then I come to these old videos to say hello to my brothers. Miss you guys. Splooie!!!
This was my first year marching at Blue Stars and I remember having chills this whole show. I even followed them back in the stadium after watching them warm up. This still goes down as one of my favorite DCI shows of all time.
I watched that warmup too for finals. I was in southwind that year
That's awesome you guys!
Couldn’t agree more
2020
May this level of excellence/class return to 🥁&🎺 corps FOREVER.
Granted this year was messed up but seems to me like the cavies were pretty good this year. I’d say this year they were pretty close.
7:22 would be the coolest ringtone ever
The Zedge app has some good dci ringtones.
What a show. Absolutely incredible. This era of DCI produced some truly amazing shows.
Marched Bluecoats in ‘01. Loved this show!!!
Perfection. Modern hornlines have outclassed this by far, but this drill will never be topped.
🧘🔥🏆🥇🏁🥇🏆🔥🧘
Well this hornline book was all original music to win a title. No one ever played it ever it. Modern hornlines just rewrite and have to go through crazy headaches when selecting pieces to play.
It moves like fluid
So have older hornlines. Listen to BD and SCV 80's.
Cavies never had the best hornlines, but this whole package is a killer. I bet it would stand up well today against the top 6 as is.
Nice, my middle school bd was in this show
After all these years. This is, and will always be my favorite show.
Amazing!!

Whoever wrote the percussion book was clearly up to something.

Best. Show. Ever!
Wow! So much timpani in this show!

@@MobilMobil-kv5ke Jesus that’d be horrifying
@@MobilMobil-kv5ke I'm glad he was safe, able to get back up and continue being a 😎 team player.
@@MobilMobil-kv5ke wait so he couldn’t get the slide back in? Does that mean he couldn’t play the rest of the show?
@@jorgeaf07 yes.
I was literally born on that day
Steve Brubaker was a design genius! There is nothing on the field today that remotely resembles this level of artistry.

@@jeffkoehncomedy2370 Mitch Rogers wrote the drill in 94. Poklacki did 95 and 96 and apparently chunks of a couple of the early 90's shows.
Agreed @@Drums-ve8on 💯
Have you seen this year's 🥁 🎺 corps shows?
9:29 the dude 1/2 step inside is a full 1 step in front of his set
I watched a video with the design staff and they said this show was impossible to clean. Crazy.
You just don’t see crowd reactions like that anymore.
Not a prop in sight!
There’s just something about that 2:10 mark
That opener hauls ass. No wonder they were called machines
*Are
1:19 ohh this is so cool
9:02
I feel like the drill was so much more creative without all those props in the way. Just my opinion, but either way this show rules.
Feel bad for dude at the very end....his flag gets caught up....hes so pissed haha
Which 2001 brass ballad is better: the Cavaliers or the Sacramento Mandarins?
Hard to say, both are great.
11:03 always wondered… is that a nod to rainbow?
Yes
