This was the first time I had ever seen DCI, just on PBS, but this entire year is locked into my brain as it, I taped it on VHS, and I think I watched the broadcast at least 1,000 times, I was a Freshman in H.S., thought I had gold in that VCR, auditiioed in 95, got cut, then marched in the 1996 Phantom Regiment Euphonimun.
Wow that's a great story! Congratulations on marching in a legendary drum corps, that must have been quite an experience!! I watched my VHS copy of DCI '92 so many times the tape wore out LOL
@@PercussionImprovisations I really thought about Marching at Madison, On a family vacation to Wisconsin Dells in 1993, we passed their caravan on the way up, and my mom was nice enough to follow them and stop by their rehearsal day.
Back to the important part, Madison was amazing!!, the arranger really set it good as they go into accelerando, then into the drum to drum!! Then the back to back in the horn line, SOOO much energy!!
This was year of my first experience of DCI back in highschool. I would watch that VHS over and over. I believe Madison scouts, Phantom Regiment and the Cadets were my favorite performances. Oh and BD when a man loves a woman!😃
Call me a boomer if you want. But DCI was pure back then. Powerful shows. Great uniforms, and HATS! Where have all the hats gone? Now they wear spandex with giant props and singing...It's supposed to be Drum Corps! Not Cirque du Soliel!
I agree kristian, I marched in the 90’s, I miss those shows. Now it all looks like they took WGI indoor Guard and Percussion and moved it outside. Totally disgusts me to no end.
If I'm not mistaken they are playing the Yamaha Corps Custom snare drum. I own this exact drum and it is in pristine condition. This was the drum that Yamaha manufactured from 1990-92 to take the pressure of the newly introduced kevlar drum heads. Soon afterward, the free floating design became the norm and this drum was no longer produced.
@@PercussionImprovisations I have several pics on my computer. Send me your e-mail and I'll send them. The drum was found at a local surplus warehouse and was played only by the 34th Army Band out of Iowa. No youngsters ever played or used this drum, so that's why it's in such great condition.
From what I understand (I played tenors), these were prototypes. We actually "egg"ed the hoops because the metal they used wasn't tough enough for the kevlar heads. Techs from Yamaha met us during the season to see the warping of the shells. I think they received a second batch and that fixed the problem.
banger show, but I find it hilarious how there's an 8 person cymbal line, so when the snare line plays the cymbals they literally just have to hold up one. Not that well versed in older dci shows though, so idk if that was the norm at that time
One of the '92 Mad-Plates here checking in! Eight cymbal players was *definitely* unusual and part of the hype of the drum line and show that year. More typical at the time was a 4 - 5 player line and even then not every corps marched cymbals as it was starting to be phased out. Fun fact: 1992 was the first year DCI allowed cymbal lines to compete in the Individual and Ensemble competition (I&E). SCV, who was really awesome just barely beat us but didn't stick around for the evening showcase concert which featured the winners so as runners-up we played the concert outside at the Wisconsin State Capitol on Wednesday of finals week. Nothing like playing for thousands of fans on your home turf; it was pretty unforgettable! There used to be a video floating around TH-cam of that Madison cymbal ensemble performance but in my quick search, I couldn't come up with it.
@@stopplayinggames5250 yea my main exposure to cymbal lines is scv (and as of recent Madison scouts), not to mention whenever I need a reference/inspiration for my percussion writing I always turn to Rennick's writing lol (also Rarick as well)
I've always wanted to know something. At :42, in the 6th measure the snares play after turning back around, I know they are playing flam-5 patty's over triplets....but did they alternate them???? 😳😳

The best percussion drumbreak ever is my opinion.
It was completely awesome however, it took second place to the Cavies this year, IMO.

Nick, your name is sounding familiar now?
SUTA fellow Phantom Regiment alumni! I met a couple other members from the 90s when I was marching and I loved to hear their stories
@@wyattbaker2246Cool man!, years, instrument?
I miss the Scouts from the 90s! I also miss what Drum Corps used to be. Marched for 6 years and it's just not the same anymore.
not even close to what it used to be!! i marched in the 80's. NEVER thought i'd see microphones, let alone the other crap that ruined it.
I miss the Scouts from the 70’s and 80’s and 90’s.
@@l.f.6627 damn 6 years!! Where at!?
@parrishkelley7823 Agreed 💯%
Just bring back the OG uniforms. None of this costume crap!

This is by far my favorite break of all time! WOW snares!

My high school played this show back in 2017
I was in the stands for all three nights in '92...shew...some great drumlines that year!!!!
I was there as well. Been a fan of DCI since the late 70s, and I think '92 was the best year for DCI, hands down.
This and the 93 drum feature still get me so pumped up
@@OmarAhmad-gm1uc 100%
Marching was the funniest time of my entire life
Funnest.
I've never seen this before but these guys are so clean this is amazing
Always fun looking at my old Beatrix tenor tech performing in this tenorline
Yeah this solo and the year before 91 are some of my favorite drum solos by the Cavaliers! And this is from a SCV and BD fan!
Back in 2001 the Scouts performed Hot Jazz and they did a cymbal toss as well
Clean as a fresh washed baby!

Nah, we were transitioning to 3 valves and it was already turning into band. Oh, and Kevlar heads? That's not real drum corps, either.

@@Rocamurderface187 Basically unfortunately 😢.
Agree! They should stop calling themselves a drum corp.

I'd love to see some pictures of the drum! They do look unique now that you mention it.

It was very common to see cymbal lines pre-90s. Scouts had cymbal lines probably longer than anyone else.

Could I please get the sheet music to this snare lines sticking.....lol....
What is the title of this song ?
Funny. From the City of Angels.
@@JohnSmith-zi9or ok, thank you very much, but if we put this title we have film, but no the entire song . Do you know if there is a score ?
@@pelvismc I don't think there is a score.
I've always wanted to know something.

It really does look like they are alternating them, doesn't it?
2:17 House.
whats the source material when the brass enters?
This show, and 1991, were based on the Broadway musical "City of Angels". The closer is taken from "Funny". th-cam.com/video/0u7A0XpgwgM/w-d-xo.html
This is how Madison should look like or even scout uniforms
who the HECK hit the "dislike" button?! I bet it was them Caroline peeps!
I always thought this drum break was kind of funny.
The Crossmen!!! ☠️
0:40-0:45
I wish Keanu Reeves could see this, a man of good will. What do you give a man that has everything? Give him this,now you have it all.
They don't pull crowds like this anymore. Wonder why 🤣😂😂
Not very different, 28000 then, 23000 now. Broadcast on pbs then, broadcast over livestream and in theaters now.
@@declandougan7243 -5000 for DCI is a pretty big number 🤷♂️ just sayin
