Just such a well designed show. Old school in it's story telling ability. The musical parts are all superbly written and right for the show. Great emotional projection from beginning to end from every member. Don't understand why Academy regressed after this show, but for this one night and this show, they captured lightning in a bottle. Easily in my top 5 all time favorite shows.

@@TheGreenie21 don't forget about the girl who was featured in Carolina Crown's E=mc^2 and Inferno she was phenomenal too. I don't know her name though.
@@ryanmele8159 I have no idea who you're talking about? I only know 2 ppl who marched Crown who happened to march those shows and neither of them were in guard lol
7:36 Idk when this phrase was written into the show, but whoever realized Funeral March and Wedding March could be played together like that must've felt like a design genius.
that's the music GE moment of the show for me right there. that whole section before, during, and after it is so box 5 music and visual GE-wise too. love that section and the thematic impact of the musical juxtaposition. totally ties the concept of the show together!!
I was there I remember for finals the show announcer tried to make up for this show with saying Drum Corpse International is proud to present The Academy
The Amazing Corps Members close-up facial reactions, to Brendt Crockers, one of a kind, dear I say "Iconic" DCI "Corpse" finals introductions is PRICELESS! It's a Forever "Keepsake" among my treasured DCI-DVD-Blue Ray collection and ingrained in my Memory, and Gratefully Heartfelt. Sign Me: "DrumCorpsRelic" Circa 1965, Present, and to the day I meet up with the "Heavenly Drum Corps".🙏
Saw this broadcast live at Regal Cinema, Chesterfield, Virginia 2016. Several high school and college bands were in the audience. When the bride fell the whole audience gasped. At the end, the entire audience gave a standing Ovation and cheers. No other group got that kind of reaction all night. Still my favorite of all time!!!
I'm right there with you! I've downloaded and view annually at least a half-dozen posted versions of this BRILLIANT ACADEMY CORPSE WEDDING PARTY. A TRUE ALL-TIME DCI GEM!
The guy in charge of most of our show design back then was on the crown staff and was close with Matt Harloff. You’ll here a lot of crown influence too in cedar park shows up to 2017
For a modern drum corps show, the drill formations actually meant something and therefore added to the show. I am not in favor of random sets (from a viewer's perspective). Was the cross a nod to the cross made in Star of Indiana's winning show?
I know this comment is 3 years old. I know this comment could be sarcasm. I don't care. It is people like you that suck the joy out of this world for not only nitpicking a the smallest detail in an otherwise FLAWLESS performance but is also just straight up incorrect. You are not just pedantic you are ignorant and pedantic, a dangerous combination of ill traits to have... disgraceful.
DCI shows that actually tell a linear story with a beginning middle and end 🥵
at the beginning
show announcer: the.... academy
end of show
show announcer: thee academy

Oh Brandt you silly boy

That soloist blowing a kiss was the most confident and proud expression I think I've ever seen. He knew he killed it 😂
When the bride and groom hug at the end, both in tears ... that's what drum corps is all about.
I got to be honest with you but the bride is still doing color guard but she is teaching at my school which is cool
Also there was twins playing the role of the Bride btw
Screw the bluecoats wink, the flugelhorn soloist in this blew a kiss
fr
thoo lmao haha
Soulfur 2016 was just a sexy year
The only reason they put that in was to compete with the wink lol I thought it was kinda funny. Jacob was so embarrassed to do it at first lol
I love how in during finals, they were introduced with "Drum Corpse International is proud to present...."
I thought I heard that wrong! *whew*

What is the story line plz
@@johnna1234 It's based on Corpse Bride
They regressed because they hired that fake blond woman with all that makeup. She cut open the golden goose.
@@alexclyde6445 I’m excited.

Very underrated show. Beautiful.
Not underrated at all.....a fan fave the entire season.
It definitely wasn’t underrated they took the fans by storm
@@SickerTrumpet Hell, I have never seen the kind of crowd love Academy got when MARCHING IN FOR RETREAT.
The show was absolutely fabulous.
One of my all time favorites!
Pretty cool how the groom in this show is now David in BAC's Goliath
Alex Cabanela I get highkey anxiety every time I see him run on those stilts 😂
Shook is the Blaine that’s Goliath, not David.
Dude ya he's incredible! Probably the best guard person I've ever seen! Anthony is the man 😎

Michael Klesh! He's in the DCI hall of fame for a reason! He also arranges music for Carolina Crown

I was genuinely, pleasantly surprised to hear it juxtaposed like that.
I can’t hear either of them.
@@sceu25 Literally how?
Everytime I watch this show I cry.. idk why haha it so beautiful, honestly of my absolute favorite shows ever
2:06 So we gonna ignore the fact he JUMPED like 10 feet down that thing and landed straight up??
Apparently so
Similar to the beginning of 87 Sky Ryders....
this is my favorite dci show hands down, it’s so dark and the music arrangement is amazing. all around my favorite
my couch is the girl on the thumb nail! Now she coaches academy
The moment at 3:29 when the rifles catch,and its that insanely crispy sound. Loved it.
I was there I remember for finals the show announcer tried to make up for this show with saying Drum Corpse International is proud to present The Academy
One of my best DCI memories was when someone yelled "Welcome to finals!" as they were taking the field.

Good God this show was amazing! All these years later and I come back to this one. Perfection!
I'm right there with you! I've downloaded and view annually at least a half-dozen posted versions of this BRILLIANT ACADEMY CORPSE WEDDING PARTY. A TRUE ALL-TIME DCI GEM!
The impact at 5:15 is amazing
Do you know where it comes from? I wanna hear like the full audio of that
Ricki 11 I’m not sure, you could probably look at their music selections from that year
The motif at that part comes from the chorus of the funeral march.😊
It’s 2024 and this show still just hits all the right boxes
Its awesome seeing all these hard working kids helping a corps grow and get their name out there. So awesome
I had the privilege to see the show live and lemme say, it was just as breathtaking
Most likely the very BEST show that I witnessed at Finals!! GREAT JOB to every member of the Academy!!!
That opener still absolutely slaps
It’s my all time favorite opener
Ahh yes the greatest show in DCI history
no
No, but it is the sweetest.
Ryland Cook shut up boomer
sporluck your mom is the sweetest
it's all just an opinion, this show is great in tons of ways, but falls short in others
this is my second favorite dci show after phantom regiment 2008 spartacus
7:14 As a Cymbal player, and a Cymbal Leader, this was my favorite part of the Cymbal Line AND show
You should watch SCVs cymbal line 😊
Beautiful solo on the flugelhorn.
I haven’t heard anybody mention the movie Ghost in regards to this show. The intro part of unchained melody is definitely from that movie if I recall.
Did you guys see Romeo Montague on the gravestone?
my favorite of all time hands down
Saw this show in Dubuque Iowa that year! Definitely an all time fav
Best uniforms. Period.
Favorite show of all time
Me watching this slowly realizing where cedar park got their ideas from.
The guy in charge of most of our show design back then was on the crown staff and was close with Matt Harloff. You’ll here a lot of crown influence too in cedar park shows up to 2017
wdym?
Watching this on Halloween hits different
new tradition
You could t out the ad before the video instead of the middle of the ballads
I’m not a tuba player but 11:22 is pretty good. Idk why I love that part so much
Being a former tuba player that run would have been hell
As a tuba player that run makes me hard
Ya I can see why! Big loud tuba notes cutting through! 😎
I love you for uploading this
I forgot to add...when you see the tombstones up close in the cinema live...some have the names of other drum corps.
some also had the age outs names on them, and family names of big donators
When your snare falls off at the end of the show
Kobe Johnson holy hell, I’ve seen this show 100 times and I’ve never noticed that.
That’s a bass
@@alexa4328 Look at that a nazi
BRUHHHH I saw that and laughed tbh
THAT'S ROOOOUGH
I love The Academy!
16 yr old me went to Indy to watch mainly the top 5 but this show stole the spotlight for me
My all time go to show on Halloween. Cavaliers "Immortal" is good too.
I love this show.
Low brass solo was so good
We repped that like 100,000 times. Always with Jazz Running. In Georgia I slipped and crashed into one of the chairs lmao 😂😂😂
Good watching this live was Beautiful
That's cool and all but remember when Mr Krabs sold spongebob's soul for 63 cents
62 cents
Oh my gosh, when the guy kisses her cheek at the end...❤❤❤
Beautiful solo
Nice show. I enjoyed it.... Thanks for sharing!
Whats the song at 2:40
TheLazyHeystack246 dance of the knights I presume
TheLazyHeystack246 Romeo and Juliet Prokofiev
Dance of the knights
Bruce Perry they’re the same song aren’t they?
Can someone, anyone PLEASE tell me what song is being played in the section from 1:29 to 1:40.
It’s a mix of Corpse Bride by Danny Elfman and also the Wedding March
@@CDAWGS123 thank you 🙏
the Academy (11th-86.100) was 10th in Total GE and Percussion, 12th in Visual Proficiency, and 11th in the other four captions.
wtf
Theodore Williams how tho
This show was awesome
Yea I'd agree with the 12th in vis. It was definitely a weakness we had. This show was designed to hide that 🤫
Actual uniforms!
Derrick Wilson okay boomer
Derrick Wilson our school bought those uniforms and we used them during our outdoor season last year
Drum corps colorguards haven't had actual uniforms since 1982, why does nobody complain about their demise?
Got to love the skeleton xylophones at 5:00.
oh david was in drum corpse bride??? didn't know that!
love it!
The head drum major is an alumni and one of the visual staff for my schools marching band
OMG LOVE THIS IT WAS SO AMAZINGG!!
6:36 hml presto section
the rifle catches at 3:28 oh my god
So cool 😎. I miss drumline...
Does anyone have the list of the songs in their show
i like the cross sets
Amazing 🔥🔥🔥
Great music 🎶🎺🥁
Happy Halloween!
Did brandt forget the corps name at the beginning or something?
Bass drummer on the 41 lost his drum on the last note lol
What is the opener piece 😩😩
Death march and I’m not sure what else sorry bro :/
11:45 The bass drum LMAO
For a modern drum corps show, the drill formations actually meant something and therefore added to the show. I am not in favor of random sets (from a viewer's perspective). Was the cross a nod to the cross made in Star of Indiana's winning show?
the cross was a cross bevsue it’s about dying and the grave yard, hence the corpse bride show
Is part of their closer part of phantom's 2011 opener? they sound very similar but I cant tell if they are the same
No this closer is based on Unchained Melody by The Righteous Brothers
which came first, the show idea or the title?
Amazing show but I cannot stop laughing at the field judge. 3:37
bros going
I actually enjoyed this show more than Bluecoats that year.
I'm gonna miss their cymbal line
Dude ya they were my favorite people. They were the heart and soul of this particular drum corps
@@TheGreenie21 It's so sad to see all the cymbal lines disappearing
Did no one catch that the first bass fell at the last hit lmao they were going hard
Now that you mention it, yeah. There was a Cavies tenor player that had that happen as well. Went apeshit and his drums popped right off the J-hooks.
@@jasongregory3330 LOL i remember seeing that
Dude the bass 1 drum just fell off on the final hit LOL 11:45
Is it just me that hears the gta car horn in the first movement?
11:46 bass drum
Dang
No one really talks about the academy
Proof that drum corps needs more Flugelhorn.
4:57 😘
Bass one was getting into it so much at the end that his whole drum fell off!! 😂😂
When the video buffers right at 10:44
scores?
The dying of the bride reminds me of the ending of juliet
TSAOTA
TSAOTA 😎
TBSID
bro: i don’t like romance movies
bro:
...Didnt know this existed
The a...CADEMY!
First DCI show I ever saw as a Freshman in marching band, holds a special place in my heart
Yep. Still salty this show didn’t win, if not Drum Corpse then at least Quixotic
1:08 seriously you can't march in time? Disgraceful......

This is like a wgi show on a football field
So is 2005 Blue Devils, technically. Originally, it was a show that the Blue Devils Winter Guard put on.
give me a break, next
That rifle drop at 3:54 though
Ok boomer
Imagine if crown played this
Idk if can. I know Klesch wrote horn book. But idk. The show is good but kinda boring.
no
@@jared0111 ok
Some of the easiest musical literature in drum corps history and it was preformed so poorly.. im a critic. Very cheesy
Daniel McLinn self proclaimed critic orrrr 😐
Deondre Brown the asshat scouts
It is cheesy and simple however, simple doesn't mean it's bad. A pity you dont critic your own statements.
You’re not a critic, you’re not intelligent enough to be a critic.
Yeah but- are you tho Dan?
