Man, 60000 views (I think the rest are mine) but no matter how often I watch it, I get teary eyed. I only hope that those who were lucky enough to see it live appreciated what they were seeing. Awesome indeed.
Found a post by Mark in a trumpet forum. For the record, Mark never played in a junior corps ( crazy, right!?) . He first played a G bugle was when he joined F.C. The man was/is dedicated to his craft: he would play 7 sets/day x5 days a week. Start at 7AM , 90 min warmup, play, practices between sets, practice during the lunch break. . Day ended @ 3:30 PM then he'd gig at a local club 7:00- Midnight. Repeat x 4 years. Props. And despite the technicality, he's ex-corps, if in spirit at least.
Thank you my friend and you are correct. I had to learn to navigate the Bugle and try to play it with some kind of ability before my audition in 1995. The bugles were larger bore which helped.
I remember hearing the Future Corps from the other side of the park. My high school band was leaving the park and I almost got left in Orlando trying to follow the sound of that trumpet. Now I am a band director and I am going to show that to my students first thing in the morning.
@coolcooja The last note was a double C-though on a Soprano Bugle it's basically a high-note toy, on a regular Bb it's not as E-Z, however I've known Mark since 1983, in fact Mark is the reason I'm still playing, he could do that in high school on his Bb trumpet.
Absolutely amazing. Mark Zauss was absolutely out of his mind on this one. The absolute best Future Corps video on TH-cam. Check out the guy to his left at the very end giving him mad props.
I played with Mark Zauss when he came to my college as a special guest for a jazz concert. He was insane. Unbelievable range and talent, especially in person.
They used G brass in DCUK from day one until 200 with few exceptions. I marched Dagenham Crusaders in 86 (half of the plate line because the brass had it's allowed number of over DCI-age members, and I was a sop player in BD)...our brass was o 2-valve G Dynasties.
El Drum/Bugle Corps más espectacular del mundo...el señor Zauss demostrando en vivo lo que se puede hacer con un G BUGLE... No tengo palabras para describir lo que hace ese tipo con su bugle. QUe pena que esté deshecha la banda!!! Saludos desde España
I had the good fortune to see them live at Disney in 1996. This chap has high brass chops that most trumpet players only achieve in their dreams. It is wonderful to hear someone who can play with such abandon and can create the impression that he owns any note he wants on the instrument. Does anyone know what drum corps and years he played?
Mark went to Palm Beach Gardens high school, graduated in '85 and was incredible back then. Not sure what drum core he played in after high school, but as a senior he was screaming double C's with ease. Competed against his school for 2 years and he blew everyone away.
I think they are in the key of G.. but I could be wrong. the drum corps over here in the states don't even use those anymore. matter of fact, this group doesnt perform anymore at disney. :( wish they still did.. frickin incredible
That was double C on a G bugle, the equivalent of A above high C on a trumpet. Three guys that were not Mark Zauss playing that nearly in tune with each other is amazing.
Nope. They are using 3 valve G Bugles. There are very few traditional groups left in the US, but most Drum/Bugle Corps now use normal Bb Trumpets and Bb low brass.
There isn't really. Trumpets can be pretty boring instruments, but this video shows what a fantastic trumpet play can do. And if you know anything about music and the trumpet, you know it takes a real professional to do what this guy is doing.
+Mark Jackson The instrument doesn't make a difference. The buzzed frequency is the same on any keyed instrument. The G marching instruments that they are playing on are a minor third transposition LOWER than the typical Bb instruments used in contemporary Drumcorps. So... indeed... he IS playing quite high.

+cfirwin3. Well said cfirwin3!! I so hate trolls who just say things they know nothing about. Also been there done that. Anaheim Kingsmen 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 2007. Played piston/rotor, 2 valve, 3 valve sop and now a Kanstul WB.
+Mark Jackson The ignorance behind that statement is so obvious I won't deign to reply directly other than to point out the ignorance in the statement. He's technically playing HIGHER than on Trumpet when it comes to note names. The G soprano is a minor third BELOW Bb Trumpet. So to play Double C from Trumpet on a G Soprano, he would have to play Eb above Double C, which is what he's doing, and beyond. 9 years drum corps experience here on the old G bugles. Soprano and Mellophone. Velvet Knights, Santa Clara Vanguard
My right ear thoroughly enjoyed this.
😂😂😂
wtf.... thats just one song of one set from the whole day.... insane chops

Dude......I am speechless every time I see this clip of Mark.

Ridiculous!! Bring back THE FUTURE CORPS!!!!!!

my right ear loved it

UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!!!

I... and THEN he....AND AND ...omg... how does he....then after he...and went HIGHER then....and...DID YOU HEAR THAT??!!!
Gotta love the soprano bugle. Such an under-rated instrument. In fact, I doubt you could find many people in the UK who have even ever heard of them.
They used G brass in DCUK from day one until 200 with few exceptions. I marched Dagenham Crusaders in 86 (half of the plate line because the brass had it's allowed number of over DCI-age members, and I was a sop player in BD)...our brass was o 2-valve G Dynasties.
Phenom chops for days......................

4:31 "That's great!"
That's an understatement kid. You're on the right track though.
oh. my. god.
WHAT IS THAT RIDICULARITY FROM 3:25 - 3:30?!?!?!
i'm naming my first child Mark, regardless of gender.
I had the good fortune to see them live at Disney in 1996. This chap has high brass chops that most trumpet players only achieve in their dreams.

I never marched with a drum core - just Future Corps.
That is just too awesome!!!
Just straight awesome!!
Friggin amazing!
BESTIALLLLLLL 🔥❤️👍😎

Amazing...
I can’t but laugh… so effin good. Mark is the man, the comping isn’t bad either.
2:58 😳 c’mon is that legal?
Ungodly awesome.
4:32 Bendin it like Beckham.
markus you beast!
amazing -:)
BEASTLY
Mark Freaking Zauss !!!
BRING THEM BACK!!!!!!!!
There is definitely more to it, but this video is a corps trumpet player emulating Maynard Ferguson, that's a dangerous combination lol
1 person accidentally hit the dislike button while he had his hands down his pants to this...
I think they are in the key of G.. but I could be wrong. the drum corps over here in the states don't even use those anymore. matter of fact, this group doesnt perform anymore at disney. :( wish they still did.. frickin incredible
0:14 3 sops scream on G's haha great!
That was double C on a G bugle, the equivalent of A above high C on a trumpet. Three guys that were not Mark Zauss playing that nearly in tune with each other is amazing.
Best 5 minutes of my life!!
Nope. They are using 3 valve G Bugles. There are very few traditional groups left in the US, but most Drum/Bugle Corps now use normal Bb Trumpets and Bb low brass.
somebody put this man in DCI!
Set the quality at 240p and it's okay!
Last note equates to super C on Bb
What note did he reach on the really high solo?
Eb above double C - which is double C on a Bb trumpet.
I'm only getting Right audio...
There isn't really. Trumpets can be pretty boring instruments, but this video shows what a fantastic trumpet play can do. And if you know anything about music and the trumpet, you know it takes a real professional to do what this guy is doing.
How shallow was that man's mouthpiece?!
lol he's a bit older than an ageout, and this was recorded over 10 years ago.
what's that called starting @ 4:35 and ending at 4:41? climb?
The musical term is glissando. In vocal music it's a portamento.
In simple terms...it's was just "ridiculous"....Mark is the real thing, regardless on a G bugle OR a Bb trumpet.
Sound is messed up!!!!!
dude, your ears are messed up!
they are 3-valve G's
who did Mark Zaus march with? and when?
He never marched corps!
I played with Mark in college back in the early 90s - I quit playing the trumpet until recently, ashamed that I put the horn down-
Well, okay, super C. But it's Super E flat on a G bugle.
Soprano bugle guys ! So he ain't playing that high folks!
Mark Jackson You ever play a G Bugle?

LOL!! Whatever helps you sleep at night.
I though there was more to trumpet playing than just blasting out high notes.. evidently I was wrong.
Hey thats not a soprano!!! No thats so bad ass ill let it slide ;)
Mark rules.
Super E flat.
