For those wondering, the show was loosely based off the book “Lonely Survivor” by Marcus Luttrell that tells the story of a doomed mission by Navy Seals in Afghanistan in 2005. Luttrell was the only survivor from the four person Seal Team that went on a mission to kill a notorious Taliban leader. The Scouts’ adaption of the book is a nod to their 75 year legacy as a corps and the strong brotherhood that has allowed them to survive after so many long years. It’s fantastic show and brings tears to my eyes still. I had the pleasure of being on that field with 149 of my brothers.
@@alphamantn I thought so. He's a great guy. He came out to Hawaii and did a signing on the Marine base out here. Definitely had to thank him for doing something for the activity thats given so much to me.
@@69zaboo I took my family to Alabama to see the show down there. I spent the day before the show hanging out with my brothers watching them practice this show. On the final performance of the night, I cried like a baby. The corps director had to come down and help me with my tears. That was a wonderful show. And it's still touching a lot of people. ⚜️MYNWA⚜️
The song they were singing was called “You’ll Never Walk Alone” this has been Madison’s Corps song since 1954(The Corps was founded in 1938 and came from a Boy Scout troop) the song is unique to the scouts and it’s something that the scouts sing before preforms to give hope and it’s also a way to connect with past alumni, the people singing along in the crowd are Madison Scouts alumni.
Idk if you are aware but there was a corps that used that song long before Madison used it and that was the racine scouts explorer corps(tho oldest continuous drum corps)which one of the members that started the Madison scouts was a member of them before starting the Madison scouts
Courtney - This is the sweetest thing i've ever seen. I'm in the color guard in this show - actually the tan guy you see holding someone at the end of the show, balling my eyes out. This whole video made me very nostalgic but loved your reactions. Keep doing drum corps shows! Hope all is well!
As one of the first female Madison Scouts, contracted for the 2020-2021 season, thank you so much for reacting to this show. There is such a story behind this show and the corps itself that I'm sure the previous comments have already explained. Thank you for your wonderful reactions and I hope to see you in the stands in 2021!
For Courtney...when they start singing, the tune is "You'll Never Walk Alone" from the musical "Carousel" and is the corps song for Madison...as close to a sacred tune as there is for the org. The people standing and singing in the stands along with the corps are past alums (if they're guys....the corps did not go co-ed until this year)...the corps end up playing the rest of the chart to close the show. The log on the ground at the beginning of the vid has MYNWA on it....May You Never Walk Alone (also the letters posted in another comment). I know of a number of Madison alums who have MYNWA on their headstones.
Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would I be watching a NZ girl reacting to something I performed in 7 years ago. This summer and organization was life changing. MYNWA
Those guard guys crying at the end was partially part of the show illustrating soldiers losing friends in war; it more likely were some senior corps members who were doing their last ever show before aging out of the corps
So the song they were singing is "You'll Never Walk Alone" from a Rogers and Hammerstein musical "Carousel". That is the Scout's corps song (typically each corps has a song that all members learn which is special to them and they'll perform from time to time). Most of the people singing it in the crowd were likely members themselves, or had family who were. Edit: Also that MYNWA phrase you saw on those prop logs and people in the comments is their main motto "May You Never Walk Alone"
Thank you so much for this!! This was my rookie year. It was such an emotional summer, and forever blessed. I’m on the flag line-and that choreography was no joke. After the “chopper” gets back on the sideline, I’m the one who runs into the pit. The show is based on “The Lone Survivor.” The song was our corps song, “Never Walk Alone.” The MYNWA on the logs stand for “May you never walk alone.” Hope this helps! Sure others have said the same thing or given more detail. Thank you so so so so much for getting into drum corps! It’s quite a beast and we love sharing what we do with people who are and are not familiar.
As others have commented the Scouts' song is You'll Never Walk Alone. They also used to have alumni from the corps present new marching members with a literal nail on a lanyard for them to wear. It stands for Never Alone In Life (NAIL) and that alumni and marching member stay in touch with each other from that point forward (well, I know our son does anyway from when he march in 2016 and 2018). Such a fantastic organization with one of the deepest, most passionate, alumni in the activity.
Madison Scouts have always been a crowd favorite, often getting several standing ovations throught the performance. They have struggled in the last 15 years to remain in the top 12, but still a crowd favorite. They were one of the two remaining all-male corps left (the Cavaliers being the other), but this year have decided to drop that requirement. Many of the older corps started as drum and bugle combos for the local Boy Scouts troops. Drum corps started as military or "corps style" marching, but these days more dance and theatrical movements have been integrated.
The song was the Madison scouts corps song, “you’ll never walk alone”, and the people singing in the audience were alumni to the corps. Also, the scouts were one of 2 remaining all male corps, along with the cavaliers, up until this year, where they were going to allow women in the group for the first time ever. Unfortunately the 2020 season was cancelled due to COVID.
There’s my guys from my home state of Wisconsin! I have seen them live a few times and there is nothing like it! So crisp and clean in movement and sound! They are phenomenal!
My friends son marched this show, this season really, it was amazing to hear about it, she was at this show live and said it was so absolutely amazing to be there. The Scouts have such amazing history.
I feel like soon we need to have you react to some shows from the high cam (where it keeps that high angle the entire time without shifting to the performers). You don't get to see the individual close-ups, but the movement and drill is phenomenal, especially for Frameworks.
The feeling you describe is exactly why I fell in love with drum corps. Was at drum major (folks who conduct) camp in '84 and we got to see the Cadets rehearse and perform at a show. They did West Side Story that year and the show started with the song Maria. On the first big swell of the horns they did a slow horn raise and this warm gust of air coming from the horns hit the stands. I had goosebumps then and am getting them again just typing this. Definitely something you need to see live to appreciate!
My cousin was one of the drum majors that year. You can see him at 13:32 and bowing at 15:31. I saw a performance of this live and it brought me to tears.
@@aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa16534 The Narration is great for that show. Especially the story in the latter half. Now, the narraration in the drum break is weird, I'll give you that but the story is fantastic.
I am proud to call myself a Madison Scout MYNWA 💚⚜️ That song they were singing is called You’ll Never Walk Alone and it is their corps song. It is very special and connects everyone who had marched there before together. Other drum corps also have corps songs like Santa Clara Vanguard’s is Send in the Clowns, The Bluecoats is Autumn Leaves, The Cavaliers is Somewhere Over the Rainbow, Phantom Regiment’s is Elsa’s Procession to the Throne, Blue Stars is La Vie en Rose. Not every corps has a corps song, but a lot do and it’s really special to get to sing your song with other alumni :)
Courtney, THIS is why I so LOVE the Scouts. Rich in tradition, the sound dear God the sound is always insane. Look up the Scouts doing You'll Never Walk Alone outside competition, it's only a few minutes long but gives me chills every time I listen. Thank you for finally touching on these guys. And finally, you're stunning beautiful to start, but going to a more natural look is a great change. Nature made you beautiful, why not show what's natural? Much love ❤
omg i seriously just rewatched this show, before seeing that you did a react to it, and thought this was another one that you really needed to see, lol. Also I would love to be your guide if you ever get to the states for a live show....i always love bringing someone to a DCI show for the first time :)
Can someone guarantee request It is... or Mad World? I really think she would like those ones. Also I like this hair color better then the other one :)
Bro It Is was wack. "No One to Know One" is a song better kept away from transcription and the fact that it followed "For Good" frome Wicked just made it that much worse. That combined with the fact that the lady's mic continuing to cut out was actually planned made me lose some respects for Crown. Also their crown set at the end waks the most disappointing crown set of all time :( in conclusion, the show was exellently executed; but very poorly thought out. Better Crown shows include: "E=MC^2"(2013) "Inferno"(2015) "Beast"(2018) "Relentless"(2016) And their 2014 show whose name I forget at the moment
Madison Scouts is Boy Scouts of America explorer troop. The stadium announcer said "Representing Explorer Troop 600". Being BSA, it is all male. There has been a few guest female performers over the years. Being that the BSA has started admitting girls, there will likely be female members now and in the future. Madison is/was one of only two corps that are all male, the other being the Cavaliers. What the corps was singing was the corps song "May You Never Walk Alone". You saw the baton a couple times with "MYNWA". I believe there is a video somewhere in TH-cam universe with Elvis singing that song during a concert.
At the time (2013) the Madison Scouts were one of two all-male corps in dci. The other being the Cavaliers. However as of late 2019 the Madison Scouts board of director signed a bill so that the corps now allows all genders which means the Cavaliers are now the only active all-male corps in dci
The Madison scouts were originally a Boy Scout troop when they first started in the 1930s. They are an all-male corps to maintain that 'fraternal bond' of the members within the corps. Besides the Cavaliers, they were the only other all-male drum corps in the states. However, they announced after last season that they were going to integrate and become a co-ed unit, allowing women to try out for the Scouts for the first time They did have female solo performers in 2005 and 2017, respectively, but just as soloists. We have to wait until next year to see the debut of the new Madison Scouts.
Btw when ever you post a drum corps reaction someone shares it into a drum corps facebook group with over 20 thousand people in it! We love this content!!!!
Wow, for some reason I thought the blonde was your natural hair, but I really love the new hair! Also really glad you watched this show, my brother marched it :)
Yayyy thank you! I used to be bright blonde when I was younger but it's gotten naturally darker as I've gotten older. Wow really, tell your brother that I send him my congratulations on the amazing show!!!
The song is "You'll Never Walk Alone" from the 1945 Rodgers and Hammerstein musical "Carousel". It's a really good song, I remember it from the movie and all the different people who have sang it over the years. Liverpool band Gerry and the Pacemakers charted #1 in the UK with it as a single in 1963, Also #1 in Australia and New Zealand in 1964. Most recently the song has become an anthem of support for medical staff, first responders, and those in quarantine during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Very nice choice!! I auditioned for scouts in 2016 and they are a very fun group to meet and perform with. Sadly didn't make it but always loved them. And since you asked I always thought women look incredible with a two tone look. Looks good.
So, I marched this show, and it's super cool to see someone react to it. Some fun facts. Two of the songs in this show are from call of duty modern warfare 3 and call of duty black ops 2. Another fun fact. This is probably the most demanding show I marched in my five years at the scouts. Usually you have a ballad in the middle of the show which serves as a breather for the horn line. This show had the ballad at the end, so we were basically on the gas from the start all the way to the closer.
Never leave anyone behind in war you bring them back no matter what it takes. So the song " "You'll will never walk alone" Is in this case is a tribute to the warriors who gave all. As said most gave some .. some gave all. Mike1 a vet from Vietnam.
Hair looks great. I love your reactions, very real and heartfelt. You make them about the videos and not yourself as many TH-camrs do. To top it off you have become my 3rd favorite New Zealander(sorry for the ranking) behind your Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern and Gin Wigmore one of the most talented singer, song writers in the world. Thank you for all the warm, heartfelt and sometimes patriotic reviews. You are a New Zealand treasure.
Courtney,you got me to cry again... When the audience first stands its because they play "TAPS" which is played at every veterans funeral,which is what gets me every time as I watched my father get laid to rest . Then they go right into "YOU'LL NEVER WALK ALONE". Thank you for playing videos that show the good side of Americans.
Yasss thank you!! That’s exactly the look I was going for. Something that I didn’t need to get touched up all the time 😊 thank you so much for tuning in!! 🥰
Hey Courtney- Yes! Those guys with the flags and rifles are called the color guard. Those things that they catch all at the same time with that great "SNAP!" - that you really liked are "rifles." And all male color guards are, to your point, very powerful. If you want more of that action, definitely take the recommendation below for Mad World/2010 Cavaliers. It's one of my all-time favorite shows. Scouts are amazing, but the Cavaliers really rock.
This is my first time watching this show. It is now definitely one of the best dci shows I’ve seen. That closer really hit different. Especially with the corps’ song... definitely made me shed a tear. P.S: Please react to RCC 2018! its a WGI (indoor percussion) show.
When she was talking about judges I was just like oh honey the judges that judge wgi, dci, and other marching arts are so wacky and sometimes I wonder for their sanity. Granted this is just from what I heard from people who march in higher ups, but I could be wrong. Also yes they are called color guard 🙃
GO MADISON SCOUTS!!! the person so was holding the friend at the end was actually in the Corp for five/ six years and that’s why he had a different color uniform. Because that was his last performance he would ever do with the Madison Scouts. May You Never Walk Aline 💚
He was actually the “Lone Survivor” of the four person team. The book/movie Lone Survivor is a true story and this field show is us trying to tell that story. The other three were killed in a vicious battle and he symbolizes Marcus Luttrell, the actual man who’s story we are telling. But yes, it is also true that he was a six year vet who was aging out. The lighter color uniforms are supposed to represent the spirits/angels of the three men who died in battle.
Courtney, normally I'd comment on the drum corps stuff, and I love what you're doing for the drum corps community, as well as just enjoying the hell out of all of these...but that said, I'm in love with your hair color, it's a great look Court! Hope you think so yourself!
This hair color does look great, really brings out your natural look by complimenting your skin tone and facial features. :-). You always look great but I agree, this suits you! OK, I can watch the rest of the video now! Lol.
You should definitely try reacting to some wgi colorguard shows I really think you’d like it I highly recommend either pride of Cincinnati-2012 “preaching to the choir or etude world-2019 “the bloom may be brief”
When DCI comes back, someone's gotta get her to finals.
She needs a go fund me
Very pretty hair color😷🇺🇸

You'll Never Walk Alone is the corps song, a sacred song that means a lot to anyone who has marched. That is why people stand and sing with the corps.

Another great DCI show that is really emotional is the 2014 Blue Knights - That One Second.
Madison Scouts is Boy Scouts of America explorer troop. The stadium announcer said "Representing Explorer Troop 600". Being BSA, it is all male. There has been a few guest female performers over the years. Being that the BSA has started admitting girls, there will likely be female members now and in the future.

WOW. I've been watching DCI since the mid 90's and thats the first time i've gotten emotional from watching a show.
much of the music used melodies from 'the New World Symphony' by Antonin Dvorak, also known as his 'Symphony No. 9'... very intense/emotional music...
Love your emotions! Our son marched with the Madison Scouts from 2009-2012.

When I was a little kid, before I saw the musical on TV, my brother had The Lettermen singing this song th-cam.com/video/WPfgj4gPArY/w-d-xo.html
“You’ll Never Walk Alone” gets me every single time.
They were originally a boy scout explorer post. They are one of two remaining all-male corps (the other being the Cavaliers)
Very nice choice!! I auditioned for scouts in 2016 and they are a very fun group to meet and perform with. Sadly didn't make it but always loved them.
And since you asked I always thought women look incredible with a two tone look. Looks good.
This is one of my favorite shows ever
They are an out growth of the Boy Scouts just like the Cavaliers. This show was very emotional thinking about the horrors of war and the death .
So, I marched this show, and it's super cool to see someone react to it. Some fun facts.
Two of the songs in this show are from call of duty modern warfare 3 and call of duty black ops 2.
Another fun fact. This is probably the most demanding show I marched in my five years at the scouts. Usually you have a ballad in the middle of the show which serves as a breather for the horn line. This show had the ballad at the end, so we were basically on the gas from the start all the way to the closer.
Wow that’s awesome!! Congrats on the amazing show!!! Interesting facts thank you!😮😮
Bluecoats "Downside Up" trumpet cam. It's amazing
This is brilliant! I love your new hair color too Courtney
She is a gem!
Never leave anyone behind in war you bring them back no matter what it takes. So the song " "You'll will never walk alone" Is in this case is a tribute to the warriors who gave all.
As said most gave some .. some gave all.

Hair looks great. I love your reactions, very real and heartfelt. You make them about the videos and not yourself as many TH-camrs do. To top it off you have become my 3rd favorite New Zealander(sorry for the ranking) behind your Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern and Gin Wigmore one of the most talented singer, song writers in the world. Thank you for all the warm, heartfelt and sometimes patriotic reviews. You are a New Zealand treasure.
Courtney: You have to listen to the 1980 27th Lancers. They also did opening and closing ceremonies of 1980 winter olympics in Lake Placid NY
Courtney,you got me to cry again... When the audience first stands its because they play "TAPS" which is played at every veterans funeral,which is what gets me every time as I watched my father get laid to rest . Then they go right into "YOU'LL NEVER WALK ALONE". Thank you for playing videos that show the good side of Americans.
This was the last time that the Madison Scouts scored above 90 at DCI Finals. Before that year, they had done it in 2005.
I'm just spreading the support of these families to pay our respects, peace & blessings!!!
Love those locks girl!!! Yass! Such a good blend while you're growing out to your natural baseline! Fire! Love your reactions keep them coming! ❤
Yasss thank you!! That’s exactly the look I was going for. Something that I didn’t need to get touched up all the time 😊 thank you so much for tuning in!! 🥰
You noticed the cone being kicked! It's kind of a tradition to kick the one during a show or something while on the field
Guys and gals we need to introduce her to WGI indoor groups
a lot of people have been talking about that in my comments section :o
Courtney Coulston I would start with pulse percussion 2014
@@thesnareboi3256 I say Pulse Percussion 2017, one of my favorites
Benjamin Li Both are horror/fear-esque
@@thesnareboi3256 I just enjoy the music and story from 2017 more. 2014 is by no means a bad show either.
Hey Courtney- Yes! Those guys with the flags and rifles are called the color guard. Those things that they catch all at the same time with that great "SNAP!" - that you really liked are "rifles." And all male color guards are, to your point, very powerful. If you want more of that action, definitely take the recommendation below for Mad World/2010 Cavaliers. It's one of my all-time favorite shows. Scouts are amazing, but the Cavaliers really rock.
This is my first time watching this show. It is now definitely one of the best dci shows I’ve seen. That closer really hit different. Especially with the corps’ song... definitely made me shed a tear.
P.S: Please react to RCC 2018! its a WGI (indoor percussion) show.
When she was talking about judges I was just like oh honey the judges that judge wgi, dci, and other marching arts are so wacky and sometimes I wonder for their sanity. Granted this is just from what I heard from people who march in higher ups, but I could be wrong. Also yes they are called color guard 🙃
Your Hair looks great. That’s the first thing I noticed.
Thank you so much!! :)
@@CourtneyCoulston yep me too
I marched this show. Glad you liked it!
GO MADISON SCOUTS!!! the person so was holding the friend at the end was actually in the Corp for five/ six years and that’s why he had a different color uniform. Because that was his last performance he would ever do with the Madison Scouts. May You Never Walk Aline 💚
He was actually the “Lone Survivor” of the four person team. The book/movie Lone Survivor is a true story and this field show is us trying to tell that story. The other three were killed in a vicious battle and he symbolizes Marcus Luttrell, the actual man who’s story we are telling. But yes, it is also true that he was a six year vet who was aging out. The lighter color uniforms are supposed to represent the spirits/angels of the three men who died in battle.
I think she should react to hebron 2019 or carolina crown 2016

Gorgeous hair! By far my favorite.
That poor orange cone!!🤣
Courtney, normally I'd comment on the drum corps stuff, and I love what you're doing for the drum corps community, as well as just enjoying the hell out of all of these...but that said, I'm in love with your hair color, it's a great look Court! Hope you think so yourself!
Can anyone find Crowns enferno show or cadets 2002. I feel she would love these.
Hair looks great. Mine changes color about everyday, without me doing anything to it.
Since you enjoyed that, I would highly recommended checking out the Scouts’ 2011 show as well.
This hair color does look great, really brings out your natural look by complimenting your skin tone and facial features. :-). You always look great but I agree, this suits you! OK, I can watch the rest of the video now! Lol.
You should definitely try reacting to some wgi colorguard shows I really think you’d like it I highly recommend either pride of Cincinnati-2012 “preaching to the choir or etude world-2019 “the bloom may be brief”
thats where I march :o MYNWA
Your hair looks great!
she needs to fly out to indianapolis next year for dci finals
LOVE YOUR HAIR THANK YOU FOR DCI VIDEOS SINCE DCI WAS CANCELLED THIS SEASON👑👑👑💜💜💜
Your new hair color looks really nice, I really like that look. Being from a military family, this performance was very emotional for me.
Thank you! Yes I enjoyed it too ! God bless your family!! 🙏🏼
